This headset is my daily driver for past couple of years for work meetings. I spend 4+ hours everyday in online meetings and probably need to charge it once a week. I occasionally use it for gaming and sound quality is exceptional for the price.
@HelloCraig lefty here as well. No issues with controller setup. I do replay this game every 2-3 years. I'll pick up remake just to play local co-op with my daughter. Probably a little later though, too early to traumatise her.
@Kaloudz it was one of the Games for Gold game back in the day. I still replay it sometimes. Very whimsical art and animation style in starc contrast to theme it tackles. I think that's why it works so well. It's more about story than gameplay here though.
@themightyant I think Game Pass and Store Front on all/any consoles is their long term strategy. Given the dominant position Sony is already in, and general consensus in EU regarding 3rd party stores, that's the way we're heading. Time will tell. Let's see how it plays out.
MS are software first company, and this is nothing new for them. Infiltrate, Proliferate, Exterminate is the new Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.
Waiting for 60FPS patch on Series X. I just can’t do 30FPS anymore. I love Zelda games but I couldn’t finish BOTW and didn’t even buy TOTK as great as both games are. On large TV, 30FPS is borderline unplayable for me.
Picked up mine today. I’m just geeking out over the design while missus cringe in the background. This is by far the coolest controller I have ever owned!
@Ep_13 Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier my friend. I wish I had your level of energy to engage. Echo chambers like PX or PushSquare are hardly going to move the debate forward.
I'm sympathetic to business side of things as well for these sister sites. Certain narrative will always get more engagement because userbase is lopsided. Some vocal minorities and tribal behaviour is bit frustrating to see, but don't let that deter you. More enthusiasm and positivity is absolutely needed in gaming community.
@Ep_13 I deleted my account from eurogamer 2/3 years ago. There wasn't a room for balanced discussion there I felt. I commented my preference for xbox/gamepass this gen and fully expect to buy PS5 when slim comes out, and I triggered few regulars. How I was killing gaming by supporting subscription/rental service etc etc. Gave up commenting after that.
@Ep_13 good to see you here mate. I used to lurk on Eurogamer a lot. Amount of abuse you received there for being uber excited for all things Xbox was very grating to see. I think folks here are bit more welcoming.
That game was my personal highlight from the show. It looked phenomenal to me. I don’t know what others expected, more classic style ala Sands of Time? Or AAA game?
I frequent Eurogamer for gaming news, and they reported this yesterday. It's really frustrating to see comments section there and even on Pushsqure to certain extent.
'Extreme' option is to withdraw Activision business entity from UK, it doesn't impact UK gamers ability to buy or access Activision games. They can always publish via a distributor. It will have major impact on Development and Publishing staff in UK though.
Just goes to show how strong Playstation brand is, despite this buffoon's efforts to run it into ground. I understand it's his job, but it's just series of questionable decesions in current climate. Playstation and gaming industry deserves a better leader.
@Richnj I followed Bungie very closely since 2005. If I recall correctly, Bungie wanted to own next IP and go multi platform. They were dead set on going independent, their ambition was to become publisher. They even published a mobile game. Things turned out differently with Activision deal unfortunately. MS made a 2 Halo game deal with them and setup 343 industries post Halo 3 launch. ODST and Reach did well for X360, and we all know how it turned out with 343.
@themightyant it’s a decent “game”. I enjoyed my time with it. MI6 spy character chapters are hit and miss but other three characters are much more fun.
@Kaloudz Pallete in question here is to celebrate Juneteenth, commemorating emancipation of enslaved African Americans. And naming it “Bonobo”, species of ape, is errm.. problematic.
@GADG3Tx87 Why limit yourself? Get whatever console you can now, and buy the other down the line in few years. I went Xbox at launch this time, but I fully expect to end up with PS5 in few years when slim &/ better looking model is out (entirely subjective ofcourse).
Regarding Trophies and Achievements, I never thought CrossPlay will happen in my lifetime but here we are. Get the conversation started and who knows.

Re: Phil Spencer Addresses Xbox Speculation Ahead Of 'Business Update Event'
@themightyant 5-6 years ago crossplay between consoles wasn’t a thing really. Sony eventually had to cave at end of 2018. Time will tell I guess.
