Even though I won’t be buying one anytime soon I’m glad there’s more stock so that people planning to scalp the market get lumbered with them. Anyone who payed their ridiculous prices are stupid
Haha nope, it would be a bit hypocritical of me as 1.don’t shop at game and 2. If someone asked me where to get the most pleasant and enjoyable gaming experience I’d be naming Nintendo systems. Plus my current job pays a lot more than that
Funny enough I picked up an LG CX OLED TV this weekend. Don’t see much difference between my old tv, the biggest difference I see is going to OLED from LED
As someone who expects to see some issues with the new systems I can honestly these are probably fake. If your system was smoking like that Microsoft would not tell you to unplug and plug in again
I remember the days where if a console was released with a load of issues it would be considered a bad system now it seems to be a “oh well I guess we’ll fix it with an update” but I’m just waiting for the physical issues like what happened with Xbox one, PS4, ps3 and 360
Gears of War 2 was my favourite and just felt like an extension of the first, Gears of War 3 was a good Conclusion to the story. Judgment I thought was a good addition to the story but wouldn’t have felt I’d missed anything if I hadn’t played it. Gears of War 4 and Gears 5 kinda lost it for me and I felt it was just a way of milking the Gears of War name, I’d have been happy if it was left at the 360 games,
What I find off putting is this whole thing about how it performs playing old games and no generation exclusives. It’s all an underwhelming system so far
@booker_steve you could always check on their websites early that morning and reserve it. I’ve been lucky sometimes with things like that through Argos and Currys, I got my One X for £160 with fallen order from Currys during lockdown
For me it’s a toss up between Resi 3 and Dead Space, dead space for the whole scary thing because when it released it felt really terrifying and nothing has hit me that hard since, or based on gameplay and controls I’d say Resi 3
I’ve started playing Little Hope after picking it up in a double pack with Man of Medan, thoroughly enjoying it even though the reviews are not great. Also been playing a little Murdered: Soul suspect
I personally dislike white because it gets dirty fast, the blue one I like the uniformed buttons instead of the colours but again the white back is a deal breaker for me so I’m happy with my black for now, may get a custom design lab when that’s available again just to get the black and grey theme
@Krzzystuff that would be awesome. Almost like a Star Wars crossed with the Hitman games, not sure if that was what you was thinking but it’s what came to my head
@AJDarkstar I don’t really remember if they were short or not but I do remember throwing a lot of time into the game. It was one of my first 100% achievements
Loved Lego Indiana Jones. I had it in a double pack with Kung Fu Panda which was also an awesome game. I did prefer the more “open world” aspect in the second one though
Personally I don’t use gamepass anymore because I wasn’t getting my money’s worth. When I joined it after I got the system then yea it was worth it but after 3-4 months I realised that there’s not much new been added that I’d play. It was cheaper to go out and buy the games I did play than to do it through Gamepass
@KelticDevil I’ve not really been following the PS5 so I don’t know much about it other than the looks, there won’t be a difference between an Xbox one game and an Xbox series x game because they’re the same
@thejameswhogames I know I remember playing the first one and it just kept messing up so I’ve not played it since, It’s a shame that a lot of games have the ‘release it now, fix it later’ treatment, it’s why I usually wait until the games been released a few months before I pick them up now
I’ve had the controller for about a week now but I still prefer the Xbox one controller because the grips are at more of an angle so it’s easier to use the D pad.

I’ve surprisingly been enjoying Gears Tactics but found myself having a few quick sessions of Zumas Revenge
Re: Pick One: Which Is Your Favourite Xbox Grand Theft Auto Game?
I’m surprised with the results because I remember San Andreas being boasted as the best but it’s Vice City for me
Re: Rumour: Could Forza Horizon 5 Arrive In 2021 Before The Next Motorsport?
I doubt it if they’ve gone through the trouble of enhancing it for next gen consoles, maybe in Q4 of next year but not any time soon

Re: UK Retailer CEX Will Take Your Xbox Series X For A Guaranteed £100 Profit
See this is why the systems being in short demand is a bad thing.

Re: Hands On: Seagate SSD 1TB Storage Card Is A Great Expansion For Xbox Series X
It would probably work out better and more cost effective to just get a second system for the bedroom and download different games to that system.
Re: Gears 5 Is Adding WWE's The New Day As Unlockable Characters
Ah Gears of War stopped being good after the 3rd or Judgment, all these loot crates and stuff is what’s putting me off starting them
Re: You'll Be Able To Change Your Gamerpic With The New Xbox App Soon
“Soon be able to change it with the app” this was already a feature before the app was updated because it’s how I changed mine

I hope so because I find Bethesda games look quite underwhelming

Re: Scalpers Are At It Again With Expensive Xbox Series X eBay Listings
Anyone paying anything over retail is just getting ripped off. Why pay all that when in a few months prices will probably drop anyway

Re: PSA: Official Xbox One Rechargeable Batteries Work With Xbox Series X|S
I’ll be sticking with my 3100mAh rechargeable batteries. I find the official ones are convenient but don’t last very long until they stop working
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Nov 7th)
Going back into THPS to clear out some of the new challenges that have crept up from nowhere
Re: The Original Gears Of War Celebrates Its 14th Anniversary Today

Re: How Much Ventilation Does The Xbox Series X Need? Here's What Microsoft Says
@abe_hikura I believe that when they eventually do a revision those vents will be moved to the back like current systems
Re: How Much Ventilation Does The Xbox Series X Need? Here's What Microsoft Says
Assuming it’s a lot because the top is full of holes. I wonder how long it will take before someone spills something into it
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Joins EA Play & Xbox Game Pass Next Week
@Krzzystuff it’s a fantastic game. I had it bundled with my Xbox and put off playing it for a while but it plays absolutely great
Re: The Xbox Series S Reportedly Has 364GB Of Usable Storage
@blinx01 exactly. That’s why I was surprised the S wasn’t a 1tb because about 20% is always reserved
Re: The Xbox Series S Reportedly Has 364GB Of Usable Storage
Called it. You’ll need to buy the SSD expansion card so would have been better getting the X. But that will only have around 750GB
Re: Friday The 13th: The Game Is Turning Off Its Dedicated Servers
This is why I avoid multiplayer games. Eventually they stop working
Re: Another 4 Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (Nov 17)
@Rockboy247 easy 1000g but it’s also oddly satisfying to play

Now this means I have a spare hdmi port on my Xbox one. Maybe I’ll plug in my snes classic instead
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Spooky Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?

Re: Skate 3 Nearly Tops The UK Digital Charts Following Xbox 360 Sale
I find skate 3 isn’t the best in the series so it would be interesting to see how well skate 2 would sell if it had been compatible
Re: The Retail Boxes For The New Call Of Duty Are Seriously Confusing
They would be the same because there’s no difference between them, Check out the WRC9 game. The disk will be exactly the same and playable on both
Re: EA Motive Is Already Working On A New 'Star Wars Action Game'
@Krzzystuff that would be awesome. Almost like a Star Wars crossed with the Hitman games, not sure if that was what you was thinking but it’s what came to my head
Re: EA Motive Is Already Working On A New 'Star Wars Action Game'
I’d love another one like Fallen Order, not yet finished it so I don’t know how the story concludes but maybe a prequel would be good.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Watch Dogs: Legion

Re: CDPR Devs Receive 'Death Threats' After Delaying Cyberpunk 2077
