I played this when it first launched, and it got a lot of hate for the loot box grind which encouraged you to purchase, but they soon fixed it. Multiplayer is amazing. I'm a huge Star Wars fan and the game really captures the look, the feel and battle scenes from the movies. I'm definitely trying this again...
I'm not normally that opiniated about design choices in games, but Indy is an iconic character, so I would've personally preferred the 3rd person view so you can see him in action.
Oooh! Radiant Silvergun... I've been hoping for a sale on the switch for this for a long time, but it never seems to happen. I might just get this version instead.
I didn't get to play anything this weekend, what with our works xmas party on friday, then was away over the weekend with friends 😌 so feeling a bit tired this morning 😏 but... I have Cyberpunk 2077 downloaded and ready to play, so will be jumping into that later tonight.
@LostInBlue0 I've been playing WRC and jeez!... it sure has a difficult learning curve. I mean, every track feels like your driving on ice 😖 Good though 👍
I love trying these indie releases... but I pray for the day that a SCHMUP is released. I currently play Crimson Clover on Switch. Antstream Arcade has some great SCHMUPS too on there.
I play this quite regular on my xbox and find it to be quite stable 🤔
Admittedly, I have had the odd occasion where the picture quality will drop when playing very briefly, but overall I've found most games run great.
Oh! 😖 Staff arguing with posters in the threads seems a little awkward and unprofessional. Should really be kept private if you ask me, anyhoo! I too am surprised with the low score, but I will play either way. Enjoy!
Well... I played CTR last night and DAMN! The game is punishing so early on 😫 I was expecting to cruise around the early courses like a sunday driver, minding my own business whilst coming 1st place, but NO! the game had other ideas. 🤣 It honestly felt like as soon as I was in the lead, the other racers suddenly decided to fire off their weapons, missile after missile, only for me to fall back into last place, whilst they gained a speed boost. It's a steep learning curve for sure, but really fun.
@LaurenceJ1987 Haha! I noticed the dialogue last night for the first time. I got my PPL license and did my first guest tour around Manchester 🤣 The dialogue was certainly weird for sure, it had a very robotic sound. Is there a way you can turn it off?
@BolkaRover Well I've had my Series S for just over 2 years now, played a lot of games and it's been great. I've never noticed or had any performance issues, so I say go for it.
@BolkaRover I play on Series S and once you get into the game it runs fine. Loading and swapping between menus was a bit choppy, but I'm sure that will smooth out over time.
@LaurenceJ1987 Hi yeah I managed to get on over the weekend after that update too. It was a bit choppy and slow loading, but I started my career finally and had quite a good time with the tutorials.
@OldGamer999 So many mixed comments and reviews, I'm like "leave it!" then "I'll try it later!" then "I'll download it!" but don't bother. I'm just going to bite the bullet tonight and see how it goes for me.
It's certainly a strange release. The review scores range from low to high and even gamer comments range from it being non-playable to barely having any issues. 🤷♂️
Oh!?!? 😒 Shame that, wasn't expecting it to be that low. Back to MS Flight Sim then... oh wait! I still can't play that either yet. Oh well! Back to Black Ops it is then.
Aww yes, I have great gaming memories from that console.
Geometry Wars Retro Evolved... so addictive, still play it now.
Burnout CRASH 😁
GTA IV... first GTA game I played, loved it.
Red Dead Redemption
Bioshock
EDIT: How can I forget Gears of War. 😁
@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) 😏
"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.
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.
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.
@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 😊

Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle 'Glitch' Shows How The Game Would Look In Third-Person

Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle 'Glitch' Shows How The Game Would Look In Third-Person
In that clip, Indy scratches the back of his neck. Why bother with that animation if they intended the game to be first person?

Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (December 16-20)
@BookhouseBoy To be honest, I wasn't a fan of Starfield and I haven't played Indy yet, but it just sounds like you're not a fan of gaming at all 🤔

Re: Stalker 2 Hits Massive Sales Milestone Despite Being In Xbox Game Pass
@OldGamer999 How are you still finding the game? I notice you haven't really suffered with performance or issues?

Re: Site News: Where's Our Stalker 2 Review?
Yeah, starting to see the reviews coming online now, all quite positive to be honest, but all commenting on bugs and glitches... 🤔

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Is Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (November 19)
@LaurenceJ1987 Sounds like a lot of users are having trouble with loading times etc. Hopefully this is just teething problems at launch.
