Recently got this on disc for £14.99 and it's an alright game but no way should GOTY edition cost over 100. Ubisoft have been taking the p*ss recently with their games now costing £70 and now this!
@gollumb82 Fear 3 has never been on sale unfortunately. It would of been a good time to do it considering it's October and the game has horror elements.
@Kaloudz I always turn off my games after playing them and tbh I forgot quick resume was a thing. Don't know how your comment is short sighted when it only takes 2 buttons to turn off the game.
@Banjo- I've always wanted to give Banjo Kazooie series a go, should I start from the beginning or Nut & Bolts since that's more sandbox with vehicle customisation?
I never grew up on N64 so I missed out on titles like Banjo, Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. On the original Xbox I had Grabbed by the Ghoulies which I remember enjoying so I chose that.
Current playing through Metro 2033 Redux after having a blast with Metro Exodus. I'm gonna start Deathloop next week and will try to stick at it after not really enjoying it on the PS5.
Ubisoft probably got inspiration from the latest Saints Row entry, and will now turn Sam Fisher and his team into annoying hipsters who complain about capitalism.
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is the peak of the series in my opinion. I dropped out of the series after not liking Unity but lately considering trying out one of the latest, and hopefully get back into it.
We know full well if Sony acquired Activision, COD would never be on Xbox. What's funny is Microsoft are being generous by offering 3 more years of COD on PlayStation and Jim is still complaining about it.
@Dezzy70 You ain't wrong about them relying on Game Pass. They definitely do need to have exclusives spread throughout the entire year instead of leaving it to the end of the year, like they did in 2021 and were going to do it again this year with Starfield and Redfall.
@Dezzy70 If Starfield, Redfall & Forza Motorsport don't get delayed it will be a very good start of the year for Xbox. Plus we'll be getting Ghostwire Tokyo, Stalker 2, Diablo IV and maybe Activision games will be on GamePass if the the deal finalises next year.
@Dezzy70 This had to be the worst year for Xbox when there's literally no first party exclusives whatsoever. I'm glad the games are becoming Series X/S gen only but Xbox seriously need to do something with their studios, be a bit more strict instead of being completely hands offs.
The Halo IP needs to be given to another studio since 343 can't even add features like co-op and forge that were in the other games day one.
@Dezzy70 I'm getting sick of this remake/remaster trend that's been going on for years. The only games I can think of that benefited of it were Demon's Souls PS5 and Gears of War Ultimate Edition which actually improved on them, unlike Resident Evil 3 remake which has less content than the original game.
At this rate Resident Evil 14 and it's remake will both be released on the same day.

Re: Xbox Unveils New Mini Fridge, And It's Cheaper Than The Old One
Xbox has more mini fridges than first party exclusives this year
Re: Need For Speed Unbound Brings Stylized Street Racing To Xbox This December
Gotta admit I do like the art style for this, It reminds of the game Auto Modellista on PS2.
Good to know it's a current gen only game as well.

Re: Xbox Activision Blizzard Deal Officially Approved In Brazil
@Chaudy Jim cancelled his vacation to Brazil
Re: These Gotham Knights Hands-On Impressions Are All Over The Place
Was excited for this until I saw the gameplay trailer 4 months ago. The combat doesn't look right to me, not enough fluidity to it and is just bland.
I know it's not trying to be like the Arkham series but still.
Re: The Outer Worlds Looks Like It's Getting A Native Xbox Series X|S Upgrade
Really enjoyed The Outer Worlds on Xbox One so this is very cool!

Re: Fallout Dynamic Background & Xbox Game Pass Perk Arrive To Celebrate Series Anniversary

Re: Dead Space Remake Looks Seriously Epic In First Gameplay Trailer
The Callisto Protocol in December and Dead Space a month later we're being spoilt lol

Re: Deals: All Backwards Compatible Games In This Week's Xbox Sales (October 4-11)
Why is it always the same games on sale? Cant Microsoft add newer ones like Otogi, Armed and Dangerous and much more.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 1-2)
Just started playing Deathloop and Far Cry 6
Re: Phil Spencer Says New Quick Resume Feature Is 'On The List' At Xbox
@Kaloudz I always turn off my games after playing them and tbh I forgot quick resume was a thing. Don't know how your comment is short sighted when it only takes 2 buttons to turn off the game.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With October 2022's Xbox Games With Gold?
I had Windbound on my wishlist so I'm not too fussed about Octobers games with gold.

Re: Talking Point: Is Halo 3 The Pinnacle Of The Franchise So Far?
Personally I believe Halo 3 & ODST are the pinnacle of the franchise.

Re: Saints Row's Future Is Under Evaluation Following 2022 Reboot
@NEStalgia I agree with everything you said
Re: Saints Row's Future Is Under Evaluation Following 2022 Reboot
@NEStalgia Don't forget Red Faction IP as well
Re: Ubisoft's Splinter Cell Remake Will 'Update The Story' For Modern Audiences
@Dezzy70 If one of the big 3 gets delayed it's gonna be Starfield
Redfall March 2023 - it has been shown off the most
Forza Motorsport May 2023
Starfield June 2023

Re: Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse Spooks Its Way Onto Xbox In 2023
@Tharsman That's very interesting and can understand why. Yeah your right Resident Evil is a much cooler name.
Re: XIII Remake's Major Overhaul Is Now A Free Upgrade On Xbox
I find it very funny how the main character from the artwork is the doing same exact pose as Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell Conviction.
As a fan of the original XIII, It's good to know they've actually made the remake playable after that complete sh*t show of the 2020 release.
Re: Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse Spooks Its Way Onto Xbox In 2023
@Banjo- Thanks for the reply. Never understood why games in countries had different names. For example Resident Evil is called Biohazard in Japan.
Same thing with cover art though I remember Europe and Japan a lot of the time got the better and artistic cover art unlike US.
Re: Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse Spooks Its Way Onto Xbox In 2023
@Banjo- Isn't the European name called Project Zero?
Re: GoldenEye 007 Officially Announced For Xbox Game Pass

Re: Talking Point: Which Of These Is Your Favourite Assassin's Creed Era?
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag is the peak of the series in my opinion. I dropped out of the series after not liking Unity but lately considering trying out one of the latest, and hopefully get back into it.
Re: Xbox Is Hosting A Huge Assassin's Creed Sale For The Next Week
@Dusk_Actual There's always a Ubisoft sale on lol
Re: Xbox Unveils New Home UI For 2023, And Your Feedback Is Wanted
Looks a lot more cleaner but it's cluttered. Maybe we might have the option to remove tiles or shrink them.

Gungrave Overdose was a blast back in the day so I'm glad this is coming to Game Pass day one.
