@TROTTERS78 I opted for the regular version that was on sale for £38 a month or so back, used £10 reward points so got it for £28 it does seem strange they've done the gold edition this time
@Fiendish-Beaver A tip for when you are playing Avowed, don't complete the main story until you are happy you've done everything as it doesn't let you go back once you do the final part. It's so odd it just doesn't have the option to carry on exploring after the end, it just simply reloads the last cut scene if you select continue.
@Medic_alert yeah that's the key thing here, look at current gen Switch game prices, they do not get any cheaper over time.. so these are going to stay at £75 which for what they are is too IMO. I'll stick with my OLED switch and current games that I have thanks haha
@RiverGenie Yep same here, I was like this is a must buy for me, to meh wired just doesn't work with my current set up! The PowerA Fusion Pro seems to be the only one that ticks all the boxes for me but at £120 is a steep price to pay!
Meh Fragpunk is seeming more and more dead on arrival all the time, would be reluctant to spend anything on it as it could well go the way of Xdefiant and many others.
For me it needs to have multiplayer, it's a large part of what the original games were for me and a unified multiplayer experience across the games with cross play would be awesome.
I'm still very slowly working my way through the campaign on this, although I enjoyed both single player and multiplayer better on Age of Empires 2 and 4
Nice I was looking for the news of it coming to Game Pass, I'll definitely be playing when it releases. Hopefully 1+2 will be added to Game Pass soon too 🤞🏻
I used to love the days of MSN Messenger in the early 2000s, I used Skype a lot at work as we had it for company messages and it was good too but we switched to Teams and also now slack about 6 years ago
I'm hoping to finish Indiana Jones and the Great Circle this weekend, I'm up to what I believe is the last mission now so just trying to get extra ability books before I go take on the final boss.
I'm still working my way through Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm also playing some Starship Troopers: Extermination as the new 1.2 patch has launched and it seems to have fixed some issues on the console side, I've seen much less crashing since the patch thankfully.
I've been subbed for years and I've still got 15 months left on my sub, it's been nice to see the games keep coming and now is a good time to be a game pass sub!
I loved WoW when it came out and played up to Burning Crusade, I'd definitely play it on my Xbox! I do just think this is a mistake on an email though.
I'm pleased with the changes, I'm so glad it removes the need to get a daily achievement. I play a lot of COD daily anyway so will get the dailies from that then I will try out other games to get the play 4 and play 8 points.
