Couldn't they just chnage the age rating of the game? Plenty of nudity in other games, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, etc.

I know Far Cry games get a bit of stick but I enjoy them. I'm looking forward to this much more than GTA.

The incredible backgrouds i get on my phone have zero impact on performance and with a lot less power.

I was looking foward to this but the apparent high difficulty/frustration level has put me off.

Not many new faces on that list.

@Th3_Highlander What inputs do you use for searching?
I usally start from choosing 3 random letters, search and then add anther random letter to search again. Repeat, etc

It be good if peole stated where they come from when they answer this, microsoft has different rules for different areas.
Personally i'm the UK i've had to issues (yet).

I have to say, I don't get this 'game'.

Any fixes for NPC spotting you from 2 miles away, hitting you with pin point accurately, in the dark, with you having no idea where they even are?

When you say PC like, does that mean,
1) different hardware installable depending on how much cash you have?
2) trying to get games to work and constantly updating drivers?
3) random slow downs because you forgot to close Chrome browser?

£180 is too much. 10hrs isn't enough.
I'm waiting for a wireless controller, hall effect sticks and a couple of programmable back buttons - £130. Is this a pipe dream?

@Ricky-Spanish Just purchased Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, i'll play this tonight.

I have to put my hand up and recommend Hades.

I have friends using the PC version, headaches and motion sickness seem to be a common theme.

I was going to start this tonight, I better find something else to play until at least the 1st DLC comes out.
Free DLCs - outstanding stuff.

First time I've seen Unicorn Overlord on sale, this will be my next purchase once I've saved enough Microsoft points.

it's not on the above list but just purchased RoboCop: Rogue City in the sale. Just need to finish STALKER 2 tonight (which is frustrating me), be glad to finish it.

Wow. Pricy for a 25 y/o game ran through presumably an off the shelf N64 emulator

Ha, just tried this game, not for me. The camera system is horrible, running along walls is annoying and the game is too fast, it's not easy keeping track of which character you are on the screen.

I was going to start this tonight, good timing.
Or should i wait if they keep adding to it? hmm.

For the store, i really wish it would show when the last time the game got updated and a link to the changelog.
Too may games i've been put off buying because of reported crashes when this could have been resovled with the lated update. Similar to how googple play store works.

I just purchased Far Cry Primal only a few hours ago becasue it was in a sale, i'll be annoyed if that comes to GamePass !
I assumed no more Far Cry would come to GamePass due to Ubisoft+

And this is why I never play games on day 1 (or even month 1).

I thought Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake was already on Game Pass?

@MaccaMUFC
Xbox app in the morning.
Bing app for reading news, including searches (60 for app, 90 using android chrome browser in desktop mode for PC searches).
Use edge browser on PC, always something to click on when logged in (achievements page).
Play Xbox pretty much everyday.
Playing PC only worth 20 points a day these days.

@MaccaMUFC I have 179,219 points this year, I don't think I could have made anymore. I have a touch of OCD I'm sure. I think the area you come from makes a big difference in points you can earn. I'm from the UK.

Top 1% for time played, Top 1% gamerscore earned, Top 1% achievements unlocked

Total Playtime:
7,556h
Achievements earned:
+1,066
Games Played:
82
Gamerscore earned
21,728

Console 1,621h, which would be my true play time, the rest is on PC waiting in lobbies for Microsoft points/achievements.

@Feffster @dskatter
Thanks.

Can you run the games directly off the Xbox Expansion Card?
I thought you couldn't or am i confusing it with another system?

Looks a bit jerky in the video, although that's proably an issue with the video or youTube
Graphically it looks great. I hope it comes out soon.

Graphically this looks top notch. Fingers crossed for 60fps, even 40 fps will do.

I have to say last years Black Friday sales was a let down, in regards to games anyway.

@themightyant Same here, I'll play one game to completion. Maybe play 2/3 games in a month depending on how big they are.

@HeavyHoggJP Apart from the pic needs to be at least 512 x 512 pixels

@HeavyHoggJP I never noticed you can upload a custom pics before, thanks for the heads up.
Has it always been on the xbox app?

Played this game only a few months ago for the first. Hard to believe this game is 11 years old, it looks stunning considering. I would give 8/10 easy.

@trev666 Where are you based? In the UK still the 3-5 secs.
Not seeing the 1000pts for playing PC but seeing 1000pts for using Microsoft Defender (if you have Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription).

Xbox needs more ARPG, i'm looking forward to Titan Quest 2 next year also.

Having gone from the Xbox 360, had a big gap in playing games and now playing again on series X, I have to say the last gen version looks damm good considering.

It's a sad day when £150 for a controller is considered 'cheap'.

@Ricky-Spanish
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night definitely worth a try.

I used to have this game in my wish list but after looking at some of the more recent comments I started having second thoughts. How is this game to play on series X.
Good/bad/average game?

Did we ever find out if day one releases eventually come to Standard tier?
How many games are not in the standard tier compared to the Ultimate?
Intentionally vague in my opinion. Not interest in multiplayer or EA games but will end up getting Ultimate teir. Not even interested in Day one releases, they all need patching first.

I has some graphical glitches with the last update, I hope they are fixed now.

@FraserG Not sure. Pity there is no way of sending a picture so you can see which text is affected.

@FraserG I have alot of text on web pages showing as unreadable characters, both in chrome and Edge. Only started like this today.

@Echtzeit Crashed on me a few times, maybe like once a day. I put this down to the xbox resume/wake up feature but I could be wrong.

I enjoyed it, 9/10. It could have done some more/better side quests (just to make the game longer).

Looks nice, but not £200 nice.

@LaurenceJ1987
Mafia - I'm playing it but can't say I'm enjoying it. A good story doesn't make up for boring driving sections, yanky controls for fist fighting and unforgiving shooting parts.
