@NEStalgia Lol, read never owned a N64 with that username, kinda shocked me, this was the best shooter ever made at the point this hit the N64, what a masterpiece , played it till death, all achievements / challenges were pretty tough I remember.
Superpets game really fun for the youngsters, really pretty game, nice sound, but a but repetitious for adults imho, but hey gamepass, my youngest daugther loves this.
Was preordering it for Xbox, but I'm against this shenanigans so will not do it now, definitely not gonna buy it for my Ps5 , it's cheaper on Xbox, so either will wait till a sale on a physical PS5 version, or just won't buy it period, sorry daughter,blame Sony voting with my wallet, all this moneyhatting is gotta stop, all that money could have been used to keep the price of the console the same, not a fan of Sony atm
As soon as the ABK deal is done, i feel there's a onslaught of little aquisitions being announced, one every week , I think behind the scenes all kind of deals have been made but MSFT didn't want to jeopardize the ABK deal in any shape or form
@BleedingDreamer Did not know that, our 4k discs are a bit older, like the Harry Potter Collection , Lord of the Rings that sort of older stuff, and those work fine in our one X, haven't even tried a 4k bluray in my ps5 or Series X lol, pure game machines
His_Dudeness, agree it is not the same as we see with our UK and US friends, but still managed to get over 200k reward points most of them with just playing games and do some searches (and using rewards app of course, the weekly streak etc.) here in the Netherlands.
We recently bought a 360 again for my 6 year old daughter, my 360 was stolen back in the day, but still had a lot of physical discs left, this 'new' one is in pristine state, including kinect which my daughter is gonna love, even the packaging is still immaculate , paid 50 bucks for it including ten games, so other than the OG, we got the whole lineup in our house.
@FraserG Bought Sid Meier's Pirates too, but played it 35 years ago on commodore 64, but hey it still holds up, still a fun game , after all those years, yeah gfx are dated but gameplay is still addictive.
got two seagate 4tb external drives, which move between our series s series x and the one x, cost about 80 euro's a piece in a sale , yeah you have to juggle games from external to internal, which takes some time but hey 8tb for less than the price of one tb stick
The whole xbox one generation has sold just over 100k over the whole generation, so this is really good news, awesome and the fruits of their labour are finally paying off, they had many trips to Japan, hope the Japanese support for Xbox keeps going strong in players and developers!
@funkhouser immediately checked out Port Royale 3, and lol I own it already, didn't even know that , probably has been in games with gold sometime.... thanks for the tip though
I've played it for a while , its quite enjoyable, but damn does the fan in the series X kick in, like it really struggles lol, even with a training session, while during Elden Ring or Forza Horizon 5 it's whipser quiet... weird
Haven't played Cuphead yet but this price is for the dlc is really enticing so will probably buy the base game with it also, hope they make a sh#tload of money with this so others will follow with a similar pricing for dlc ... Awesome
Atomic heart look promising, they said over 630.000 manhours went in the development of this game at a earlier date, so hope it pans out to be an incredible game, just a bit curious this being a russian developer, not getting into trouble in the current geopolitical climate... but hey I hope not, keep gaming out of it as much as possible....
Yeah in Europe we can rack up 8000 points at most i think , not complaining though it takes little effort , and already claimed over 100€ of store credit the last 2 years I guess
Lol if they drop this amount of news today, they just got to have a lot of games to show sunday, Oh yep the family plan, but already paid up till first quarter 2025, but maybe upgradable. Don't think it's ready yet maybe something for the holiday season?
BF2044, 2043, 2042 (or whatever the total player count is atm ) to EA play seems like a no-brainer, sounds logical to get some more players into that game.
Still in the first mission, taking my time, few hours in , not experienced any issues yet, but great that they are squashing the bugs. Love the game so far.
Well downloaded it yesterday, gonna try it tonight, love those games, especially the single player ones, If i get just a little vibe of Freelancer I'm happy. On a side note, Microsoft really should consider remaking Freelancer or revamping Project Lonestar, they still got people from Digital Anvil on the payroll somewhere I think, yeah Star Citizen is there from Roberts, but not for console, and seems to be a neverending project.
@iplaygamesnstuff Bought the physical gold edition directly from Ubisoft for like 8 euro's (excl. shipping cost) during last black friday, but yeah see digital sales of this game all the time.
@sjbsixpack Only a handful of PS Exclusives have ever hit the 20 million mark, spiderman , gow and horizon zero dawn, so not that often. And GoW is definitely coming to PS+ something (2018 version of course)
Bought the life is strange series for my eldest daughter, she loves that sort of games, she has yet to finish them, and then I would have bought Tell Me Why or Life is Strange True Colors, but thanks to this tip! and gamepass, don't have to pay for either, maybe if she doesn't finish true colors in time, but we'll see by then
Fable has been worked on since 2017, a developer at Playground Games tweeted this out himself last year, where he said he was working on Fable for 4 years.
Excited for people, to have this, got the physical gold edition myself (still wrapped in foil) as I haven't gotten round to it yet, still working my way through all of the AC titles, and Origins is still a couple of episodes away, but when I finally arrive at Origins I gonna enjoy my first every playthrough with 60fps , so that will be sweet.
Would have bought it , if it weren't for gamepass, but then again will definitely buy it once it leaves the service, with discount, and will buy the dlc also.
Multimonitor setups around the house (also cause of pandemic), but yeah, used to be a useful feature, but got laptop next to xbox, so no need for snap feature atm.
Solid A, tremendous value for me and my family, I gameshare with my eldest son, but my youngest son has a gamepc, so the three of us can play the same time for 13 euros a month. Sounds like a good deal to me
Nope, seriously saw the trailer last year , didn't appeal to me at all,love lord of the rings but just don't want to play as Gollum, hope I'm wrong and its great
Half Life 3, as Valve obviously has no interest in it ... Oh Brothers in Arms reboot, that series was on pretty par with Cod in the beginning, before Cod really took off with MW, but would like a new chapter in that series.
For honor MFE is not technically gamepass looking at picture, it's Gold (included with ultimate of course). But Origins , awesome get for gamepass. PS Plus 'Premium Extra whatever' (awfull naming of tiers btw) is getting Valhalla, so who's getting Odyssey?
