Flew over the village I live in and the local town. Then went over and under the Humber Bridge. Flew from Swansea along the coast of Pembroke and attempted a sea landing at my fav beach. Did the New York one briefly and last night I chased the sunset over the Atlantic in a Cessna. Good times and so relaxing.
@John117 Cant be bothered with online games now. Had great times playing online games back in the Original Xbox and 360 days but the whole online just doesnt do it for me now. In addition I have to deal with idiots (polite term) all day and the last thing I want when im relaxing after work is dealing with even more idiots (again polite term).
@Grumblevolcano Exactly. I would like to see more bc titles added but ive pretty much gave up on that now since nothing has been added for a couple of years now.
Thought i would dip my toes into the Yakuza series. So I'm starting off with Yakuza 0 as heard its the best place to start. Also playing Rain on my Parade with the kids. Good fun so far.
I love the back compat aspect of Xbox but with all the talk about playing multiple generations on Xbox it would be great to see new games added to back compat especially since the last games added were in mid 2019.
Lets be honest though im not holding out any hopes of them adding anything new.
In my opinion the 360 was one of the great consoles. It just ticked all the boxes for me. Great games, great online with friends, some great unique experiences like 1 v 100 and last of all I loved a lot of what came to XBLA especially in the early days.
As for the games I hope more 360 games get added to back compat so I can finally put the 360 to rest.
Not sure about Rocket league and Call of Duty but I would imagine that the issue with Squadrons is that the PS4 has a VR mode and that any patch could screw it up.
1v100 was one my fav gaming experiences on 360. Its a shame we never had a Season 3. I even managed to be in the Mob of 100 once and got a ton of Microsoft points and two free games.
Would have been awesome if this had been rereleased during lockdown.
Fingers crossed we see something released like this soon.
To be honest I get where hes coming from. I do have my doubts about its sustainablility at least in the short term but i also think that £70 or realistically £60 for new games on the next gen isnt palatable either. Especially considering the current financial climate and that most games require patches day one due to various issues. Thats also not even taking into account the ever costlier season passes which are sold before a game has even released. Man the PS3 and 360 days were so much simpler and cheaper.
Wow thats cheap for whats on offer. If game pass is included then even better. In fact Its even cheaper than a Switch with the base unit. Wonder if the Switch will get a price drop due to this?
Got to say all this cat and mouse and general lack of info is putting me off a day 1 next gen upgrade at the moment. I understand that circumstances due to Covid are unusual and making things more complicated but I honestly just think now that both companies are taking the proverbial. Hopefully key info from both parties are released soon.
@Justifier I'm with you there. Currently replaying some of my old 360 games on the One X. Just about to start Lost Odyssey again...hopefully I can finish it off this time.
I just hope they keep adding titles from the 360 and OG Xbox when the Series X releases.

@themightyant The way I did it was:
The plane will be paused in the air with no dials on screen (external camera) and you will have full control of the camera for taking screenshots.

Re: PES Replacement 'eFootball' Will Be Tailored For PvP Gameplay, Rather Than Player Versus AI

Re: Relive The Classic Alex Kidd In Miracle World DX On Xbox Series X This June
Dont know why but never really liked the Alex Kidd games. Maybe this update might change my mind on it as the originals really havent aged well.

Re: GAME UK Wants To Pay Someone £1500 Per Month To Be An Xbox Influencer
Game and Influencers can just go do one. The world would be a better place without both.
