@Ricky-Spanish I know... it does get addictive, I keep needing one more game, especially if I have my eye on one of the calling cards that's about to unlock 😁

@Scrubchub "It looks like a remaster of a 360 era game..."
As long as the game is fun, that doesn't really sound like a bad comparison. 😏

I will definitely give this a try tonight. I need a break from the chaos of BOP6 Multiplayer, I'm starting to dream about my matches 🤣 and MS Flight Sim just hasn't taken off for me at the moment. (bad pun intended) 😏

@TheOldHunter4K Same here. I still haven't managed to get into the game yet. It just stops at 97% when loading.

Yeah, starting to see the reviews coming online now, all quite positive to be honest, but all commenting on bugs and glitches... 🤔

"Missing content like... Aircraft." 🤣
That's kind of the main component really to play the game.
I'm looking forward to hopefully logging on tonight. It does look pretty good.

@LaurenceJ1987 I couldn't get on at all last night. I didn't even get past 0% loading... 😒

@OLD64FOREVER 🤣 That's exactly my routine at the moment...

Same here... I couldn't get online at all last night, so went straight back to Black Ops. I later went on YouTube to see if there were any live streams, and some were lucky enough to get on, so i watched them instead 😁 It does look amazing... hopefully I'll get on later tonight.

@LaurenceJ1987 Sounds like a lot of users are having trouble with loading times etc. Hopefully this is just teething problems at launch.

This will be my first time jumping into the cockpit of an MS Flight Simulator, so to speak 😁 and quite looking forward to it from what I've seen in the trailer.

@Balaam_ Whether that's sarcasm, I'm aware that the Series S is 1440p? 🤔

What with MS Flight Sim tomorrow and this on Wednesday, I'm spoilt for choice on what to play 🤔😁

@Weebleman That kind of has an eerie element to it now. The first time this happened to me, I slid... well no, I fell down a cliff side, panicked and accidently hit the shout button 😊

@Weebleman "other players shouting hello.."
Is that what that is? I've occasionally shouted out hello and thought it was just an echo... 🤔

Was feeling a bit under the weather this weekend 🤒, so I just chilled out playing a lot of Black Ops Multiplayer and Warzone.

Ahhh! Yeah, my downloads last night were downloading at a quarter of the rate they usually do.

@bowzoid Same here my friend. I am of certain age too.
Also, I do notice from time to time that when-ever the subject pops up of a game requiring an online connection to play, many posters frown upon this, so surely CLOUD based gaming must sound horrendous... NO?

@InterceptorAlpha "I remember saying they were going to do this, what, a year ago? Two years ago?"

You got the Lottery numbers for this weekend please? 😁

Pretty much says it all... "The console space isn't growing."
I won't be buying a PC anytime soon, that's for sure, I certainly won't be playing games on my mobile and as for cloud gaming?? 🤔

@Zenszulu If your toaster had a screen and could connect to the internet, then YES! It appears it's an XBOX 😏

Same here... looking forward to getting stuck into this.

Never, ever played a MS Flight Simulator, so yeah... Pretty excited... will definitely try it 👍
I'm glad I bought myself an expansion card as well. I'll be looking to download Stalker 2 also.

This and Driveclub are 2 of my favourite racers of all time.

@Millionski I was thinking the same... It's funny sometimes how the most popular topics on here become full of doom and gloom. I have never seen half of the posters in this thread before.

@cardcrusher29 Here in the UK, amazon are selling the 512GB Seagate Expansion for £85. I'm really tempted to bite the bullet 🤔
Isn't that like, 16p per GB? 😏 Doesn't sound too bad... 😁

@Nintendo4Sonic The way I see it, is... I can't really justify spending £50-£70 on multiple games anymore. So, I might not own the games, but GamePass has been a blessing and has given me access to those games I can't really afford to purchase.

The Series S is a great little work horse... It runs and looks amazing in my opinion too.

I have honestly never played the Spyro games, so quite looking forward to this.

I'm having a great time gaming at the moment. I'll throw myself into a few games of BlackOps multiplayer, then wind down the rest of the evening with a few package deliveries... 🤣

@Willbo47 Same here. I've only put in a few hours so far and it's definitely a unique experience for sure... strangely addictive considering I've spent most of my time just delivering packages 🤣

Having had my PS4 for 7 years, and it sounding like a jet engine every time I used it, I decided it was time for something new, so I jumped on the XBOX S-Train back in 2022 😁 and subscribed to Game Pass. I've played so many great games over the last 2 years, it has definitely been a great move.

Having an absolute blast with this game, so really excited about the new content. I haven't downloaded Warzone, but I might give it ago now, the Area 99 looks funtime.

@uberdaddypig 100 hours exploring?? WOW! Is it that big of a game? I never got round to playing it when I had my PS4, but really interested now of course 😬

I've been itching to play Robocop since it was released. Now's the time I think.

Metal Slug Tactics... Woop! Woop! Haha! 😊 Looking forward to trying that one.

@Balaam_ Mmm! I don't see that on the list... 😏

@robe I just installed the Cross-Gen version. That lets you choose exactly what you want to install. I found it really straight forward and painless.

I've been mostly playing Indie games over the last few months, so this is exactly what I needed. A Triple A game to grind away on 😊 Campaign was great, just the right length of time for me, then we have the addictive MP and Zombies... just brilliant in my opinion.

Great news! I'm really enjoying the game. Best fun I've had in a long while with multiplayer. Still prefer Battlefield though and looking forward to seeing what they do with that.

@DEATH2SONY One day I will understand one of your posts 🤣

So I completed the Campaign last night and thought it was excellent, I may return to it and try to complete on a harder difficulty 🤔.
Anyway, now that's done, I'm ready for getting involved with the MP & Zombies, so yeah I'm excited for Nuketown.

Nice... very nice 😊

@Wisegamer "not quite ready to join the pros!"

Haha! Same here my friend 🤣
I'm really itching to just get involved with the MP, but I keep telling my self to finish the campaign first.

Yeah, can't wait to get stuck into the multiplayer, the new progression system looks fun. I just want to get the campaign out of the way first.

@Kezelpaso @bowzoid

I haven't got into MP or Zombies yet, but I've been playing the campaign on the Series S and haven't had any issues at all. The game seems to run really smooth. Loving it so far.

I've only managed to play 4 missions on the campaign so far but I've really enjoyed it. I'll complete that before jumping into MP and Zombies, so I'm looking forward to that. I was reading about the revamped progression system for MP and it sounds like a good old grindathon Can't wait to start it up.

@GuyinPA75 Haha! 😁 No, I only put in about 2-3 hours on an evening during the week and same at weekends really, but I find I'm only having to charge the headset after a couple of weeks.

@MaccaMUFC The ones I have are definitely not quiet and flat... that's all I can say really. I connect them to my laptop, where you can edit the levels and sound settings and these carry over to the console.

Not to sound like a headphone snob, but I recently bought some Arctis Nova 7X 7.1 for £119 and they sound amazing, I also get about 35-40 hours out of them before I need to charge, so 20 hours doesn't really sound all that good.

Last game I bought for Switch was Balatro, which is very addictive... and Loop Hero for xbox. AAA games are just too expensive for me nowadays, I just wait to see what GamePass has to offer.

Do we need to download the MWIII Campaign?
