@FraserG yep absolutely brilliant idea. Even if some of the well educated predictions turn out to be inaccurate, at least it gives a bit more time than the usual two weeks to play a game we intended to anyway (just last minute as usual 😅)

Will definitely be checking out these articles in future!

I'm currently sprinting through Sniper Elite 4 as it leaves soon 😅

That's even more confusing because neither one of them are the "Full Shut Down Option"

You should literally just be able to long press the home button at any time and be able to choose:

"Full Shutdown"
"Energy Saver"
"Sleep/Standby"

First person puzzler? I'm there!

Shame about the combat sections, I'll see how I like it if I get time to download it and have a go

Do you have to do anything in particular to "upload a screenshot to Xbox Live"?

I know it says "uploaded to Xbox network" when you take a screenshot but I always just assumed this was cloud storage so you could access it elsewhere

I might be screwed if they find my Yakuza Kiwami 2 screenshots 😂

(Embedded URLs due to NSFW depictions of implied sodomy - also from the final fight in Kiwami 2 so could be spoilers...)

I saw Golf Peaks on sale, that's a wicked game. Highly recommend if you like tough-ish puzzlers

Damn, wish I wasn't broke AF otherwise I'd be up to my eyeballs in 2tbs

@OrfeasDourvas 😂

I always consider length. I only play a game if I know I have enough free time to finish it. The game might run over or I might give it up after a couple hours if I don't gel with it. But I won't start a game these days if I don't have the time to finish it.

I think Ive been watching too many wrestling clips on YouTube because I read the headline in The Rock's voice!

@EVIL-C lol it looks amazing but I wouldn't have anything to play it with, I don't know how much I could get into PSO and the GameCubes online never really took off here in the UK

I wish I owned the ultimate one....

"But be careful, you might get sick!"

Lol does this mean in game or in real life. It would definitely make me sick if it was in VR 😆

🧡😃 wooop wooop

Hopefully this one is a good month 🤞

@Banjo- Edith Finch is leaving this month, I thought I'd give you a tag because you said you wanted to play it

If the current UI is improved, my preference would be for the ability to pin more stuff to the home screen, more groups, more apps per group and more apps in a group to be displayed when pinned to the home screen. Just give us full control of our UI so we can make it as messy, tidy, sleek or as convoluted as we want.

I also wouldn't mind the option for custom UIs too, why not have the current, have blades, have the NXE all as options? That in addition to the above requested customisation options would give limitless potential.

Also, the article linked was quite an interesting read! It's funny how 500gb storage was a worry back then and we haven't progressed vastly in the amount of storage space (even if the speed has improved!) and the same worries are still voiced to this day

Hopefully they still allow the two user sharing at no additional cost

@themightyant no worries, cheers 👍👍

Woooooooop 😀🧡

(Honestly, I'm not a total maniac!)

GOD OF WARNING 😂

Ahhh man. The old blockbuster building near where I grew up has literally only just been knocked down and turned into flats!

They doing the fusion dance

I love the new logo

@K1LLEGAL I think it's mainly because it ties so closely into 5 but also because I really liked the Tanemura character they ditched for 5.

5s my favourite because I loved playing as Haruka 😅, the rhythm games were really fun and I couldn't stop singing So Much More for weeks after I finished it!

@K1LLEGAL my ranking from best to worse is:

5, 0, 4, LAD, 2+3 tied, 6, 1

Haven't played judgement 1+2, Dead Souls or Fist of the North Star yet but I have them lined up. Just having a bit of a break from the series!

I remember seeing screenshots for a version of Halo for the original DS in a magazine, probably about 15-20 years ago. I guess it never came out!

Wooooop 😀🧡

And I got quoted along with @themightyant this time! 🤩

_{(I'll have to be more careful with my spelling and grammar in future)}

@themightyant 🤣 I just want to wield the power of the Mjolnir Series X

But yeah, can't see the handle if it's on the back!

Ahhhh it's a shame the handle is on the back of it, would have been much better on the left side (top if the device is horizontal)

I played it through with a friend online last night. Had a great time despite a few bugs that meant we had to replay a few levels. Really enjoyed it though!

@AdamCorela @lookupmore @swedetrap

Hi peeps, just wanted to let you know that I ordered the Triple XL in the end and it arrived today.

It fits well I think, not sure how long it will last because it might shrink in the wash but it's comfortably loose straight out of the parcel!

Thanks again for your input! Much appreciated!

I got out the old guitar hero for the Wii the other day. Decided to pick up some of the games I didn't have from CEX as well. Been having a blast.

I'm hoping for a port/BC/revival. Would love some classic guitar hero to come back!

@AdamCorela cheers for the heads up, may go for the size up then! Thanks!

@lookupmore oh cheers for the heads up, I've yet to order them so maybe I'll go for a 4XL, not sure.

I don't like ordering from new websites. I've had a look through their FAQs and it says if you do a return then you only get refunded the cost of the item and not delivery which is amazing really because that's against the law in the UK. Cancelled orders must be refunded in full including delivery according to the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Kinda puts me off ordering from there.

@swedetrap oh brilliant, thanks for the reply! I think I'll go ahead and take a punt on the XXXL then. Though I see you are in the States, I think they use regional manufacturers so I'm not sure if the sizing might be different over here in the UK.

I've ordered a Triple XL from the UK's WWE store but they literally just ship over stock from the states and the US XXXL is much much much larger than a UK Triple XL 😅. I still love my Cactus Jack t shirt but it's a bit like wearing a bed sheet!

On the other hand, manufacturers over here can vary wildly in their sizing. A nice XXXL fits loosely on me but I've had a couple that are a bit tight in the past

Woop woop woop, still in the big leagues! 😃

Not sure if I will repost this every month but it might be useful if we attract more faces....

It will be one game a month with the first Mass Effect on the Legendary Edition as our current game

Play the game at your own pace and discuss it there!

We normally choose the games from game pass ultimate

You don't have to join in every month

You can play on any platform you like if you have the game there and/or don't have game pass: PC, Xbox, even PlayStation, Switch or Commodore 64 (if available). It will be interesting to see if the experiences are different across platforms in terms of performance or features. You could even play an original version of a game if we are playing a remake! (Some users at PushSquare played the original resident evil 2 over the remake as their monthly game a little while back)

Discussion and light tangents are also allowed (catch ups with other users, discussions on related games and past game club games).

Please use spoiler tags if you are discussing plot or key moments in the game! You do so by typing [spoiler] insert text here [ /spoiler] without the space between [ and /

We don't carry votes for games over from the previous month's when voting for next month's game. The reason for this is that people's schedules change or somebody might drop off the face of the earth so it would kinda suck if an absent user's old vote is counted toward a month they won't be participating in. All votes start from Zero every month. - you vote by posting the name of the game you want to play in the thread and tagging me @ralphdibny

We don't repeat games, there is a list in Post #1 of the games we have played as part of the club in the past so they won't be available to vote for again in future. Other than those games, feel free to throw suggestions out (in the thread) and I will add them to the list of possibilities.

It should go without saying that people should be respectful of other people's opinions if they choose to join in. We are all wired differently and are free to think what we want without making other people feel bad about what they think. I am sure we are all fairly passionate about video games even if the intricacies of our passions don't fully line up. I think we are a good bunch though anyway so I think everybody will be welcoming to new faces!

Let me know if you want to be added to (or removed from) the tag list for the thread. It's basically just a list of usernames that I copy and paste into the announcement posts so that everybody gets a notification when we change game. I normally only use the tag list once a month but I will occasionally use it a second or third time if there is either a tie for votes between two games or if we need to vote on something additional to the next monthly game.

Other than that, pop over, see what it's all about. Relax, enjoy and discuss some games with the rest of us. Welcome!

Actually its £16.99 with £3.95 postage. I think I'm going to take a punt on it

Anybody in the UK order clothes/t shirts from the gear shop in the past? What's the fit like?

I normally wear triple XL and I like t shirts to fit loose.

I really wanted the Pride T shirt they released last year, I seem to remember it being quite pricey to ship though

I gota say that I love these at-a-glance massive discount articles. It's really helpful to distill the sales page down to the biggest offers. Nothing has tickled my fancy just yet but I am sure I will be picking up some 99p titles in the future!

I hope it gets a physical release in the UK, should do if SoR4 is anything to go by 🤞🤞

I've got tons of demo discs and mags for various consoles. I got loads of those little cheat books as well!

@liljazzy2 brilliant, will do! I'll be updating the list later on so I'll let you know when it's done!

I just want to give a shout out to @LtSarge helping to create the game club by creating the original Push Square game club and providing key feedback that shaped what the Pure Xbox Game Club became.

Also want to give a shout out to the rest of the original Game Club crew that were present for the original confusingly titled thread and provided feedback for and stuck through the beginning of the new one! @Tothington91 @MAC26 @XBontendo @Justifier @LtSarge @Tjuz @nessisonett @crippyd @Krzzystuff

@Dydreamr heya, want to be added to the tag list in the thread?

@TooBarFoo heya, wanna be added to the tag list for the thread?

@Krzzystuff haha cheers but somehow I doubt any cheques will be incoming 😤😅

@xMightyMatt14x yeah of course, it's super casual. Do you want to be added to the tag list for it?

Don't listen to @Krzzystuff though, we won't need your bank details or anything. We only needed Krzzy's bank details so we could buy loads of old FMV games for them to watch! 😃🤣

@K1LLEGAL oh yeah for sure, I think most of us have got enough on our plates in real life for our hobby to become just as arduous!

@KilloWertz lol and it's perhaps likely that you never will 😅

@theskelf I see what you did there! 😃

@djshep1973 sweet, I'll get you added to the tag list shortly!!

@rjejr @K1LLEGAL cheers peeps! The community is doing the good work too by keeping it alive!

I thought I'd repost and edit a bit of the explanation from Post #1 in that thread here too:

It will be one game a month with Life Is Strange: True Colors as our current game

Woah, we are official!!! Awesome! Nice graphic too 😃😃

Thanks @FraserG !!!

@FraserG might be worth adding an "Indifferent" option to these polls, I am sure I'm not the only one who feels indifferent to some months of GwG!

I know "They're OK" is the middle option but it's probably still too positive. On the other hand "I'm not happy" is a bit of a strong statement for me too lol. I am merely indifferent 😅
