I really want to buy it but I just kept bouncing off DOS2 like I have tried it seven or eight times and keep bouncing off before I get out of Fort Joy.
I reckon thats enough of a reason to assume this game isn't for me either...
Such a great game. A couple of my mates and I play once a week online (all 40-somethings with families etc) to catch up and this game has kept us amused for many weeks now.
Just started playing Jusant. Its a lot better than I was expecting (not having read or seen anything of it). Only issue I have is I am scared of heights and that does translate to games. As daft as that sounds I always feel a little wobbly when I play a game when I end up being up high.
St Frances Folly level in the original Tomb Raider still haunts me to this day!
I won't. I have a few Ubi games mostly picked up at low prices after they have been out a few months, making the whole subscription model (for me at least) a little redundant. I've had my fill of massive open-world games as well...
Of course, the day-one availability will prove a draw for some I just cant see this taking off, especially given the comparison to Game Pass. If this was say, £7.99 (or national equivalent) then it might be a different story
Nearly pulled the trigger on Mount & Blade on PS as its on sale but didn't. Unusual for me. As soon as I buy a game it usually appears on Game Pass within the month or if its not on sale when I buy it, it goes on sale shortly afterwards (yes Hitman 3 deluxe edition I am looking at you)...
I would have said Pentiment although I have only just started it. However, that was before I started playing Vampire Survivors. That was a surprise after switching it off first time I started played it because I didn't understand the 'no attack button' control scheme. Tried again and boy has that just clicked...
@NickramCTID The Philips G7000. Yup I had one of them too. In fact I still have it in the loft. An Atari it wasn't but I still have very fond memories playing it as a kid...
@Dr_Luigi "I did another gold conversion to ultimate today so have another 3 years for £128."
Excuse my naivity but I didn't realise this still worked! I still have 2 years of GP so not really something I can do right now but I thought that was a small window when GP first launched.
@GamingFan4Lyf I did not know that. I new about updates in Energy Saver but I didn't know about it picking up new downloads that were queued. Thanks for sharing.
I think this highlights an interesting point. If you go and buy a game weeks/months after it was released and reviewed, looking at scores at release could tell a wrong story. I have on occasion had to google "post-launch updates" for a game to see if anything has been done to rectify issues at launch.
The state some games are launched in, followed by quick promises of fixes by their studios, it feels like there's a need to re-review certain games after a period of time.
It's an unfortunate state brought about by the quality (or lack thereof) that some games are launched in knowing there is the ability to patch afterwards.
Flight Sim hands down and I play Snowrunner, Train Sim World and become strangely addicted to Power Wash Sim and House Flipper.... Bought myself the Hotas One and slowly flying myself around the world one short flight at a time...
Fortunate enough to have both consoles from each generation but always felt 'closer' and more invested to Xbox. I'm not into the whole Xbox vs PS arguments but I've always bought more games for the Xbox console in a generation than the comparative PS console from the same generation...
I am sure I have tried the Sail Forth demo before. I believe this should have released a couple of years ago. Sailing, exploration with some light combat. I do like a ship based game so am interested in this when it finally arrives...
Just started playing and dropped down to an area that I can't get back from. Only armed with a stick and despite running past enemies I am only finding tougher and tougher foes further. Given the cute style I wasnt expecting the early game to be quite so challenging (or I am just rubbish ). I really want to like it, I love collecting the manual, the style and the presentation but already I am up against a brick wall...
In the midst of converting my loft into a gaming den so this would be a nice novelty addition. Whether theres actually any chance of getting one in the UK is another thing. The Game website wasn't exactly robust when it came to buying either the XSX or PS5... I hope I am wrong but can't help but think this is going to be a perfect scalpers Christmas bonus....
This is the reason I grabbed a Series X before I thought I might or was able to! Last MSFS was 98. Even managed to bag a HOTAS 1; which in the interim has encouraged me to dip back into ED and feeling like I should have bought one years ago! So looking forward to it...
Stupid question...what does the N/A mean? Assume for some games that this FPS boost isn't available for the X but it is for the S and vice versa. Just seems strange that in the case of Steep that theres a boost for the Series S but not the X. Or am I missing something? Its early and I havent had a coffee yet...

Re: Poll: How Excited Are You For Diablo 4 On Xbox Game Pass?
Held off on buying it and will definitely give it a go when it arrives on GP. Had a blast playing D3 on Xbox and Switch.
Re: Ubisoft's 'Quadruple-A' Game Skull & Bones Is Already Getting Price Cuts

Re: Roundup: Three Games Receive New Release Dates For Xbox Game Pass

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For March 2023 Announced

Re: Four Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (October 20)
@Dr_Luigi Thanks for the info. I remember that warm feeling of buying three years of gold and then having it convert to GP Ultimate...
