Ya, basically he just eats everything in my fridge - can't get fat if there is nothing to eat.

@Igor Drefljak he only ever has rubbish in his fridge and no matter how many times I tell him I hate bio valley yogurt he keeps buying it.
Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira Was a far better client, we’d go to McDonalds, KFC and burger king all in one day.

Cuphead is fecking difficult. Bought it at christmas but can't play it for very long for fear the controller will go out the window.

I've done all the bosses now apart from Dr Kahl's robot. Easily the most difficult boss fight in the game so far

Anybody use boomerang rentals? Tempted to go with the priority 10.99 package.

How did this work out for you in the end? I signed up with them last night, a friend of mine uses them and said they were pretty good.

I use them. They are great. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

They were great mate, had no issues.

Don't use them now though as I decided to game share with a friend and we just buy everything digitally.

Anyone subscribed to the Game Pass yet?

With the latest Tomb Raider on there, as well as Bioshock Infinite and Halo 5, and Sea of Thieves and Cities Skyline coming soon, I think I'm going to sign up over the weekend. There's also Oxenfree and Rime which look good too.

I can see it being a must have in the coming months as they add more titles to it.

 

[Mr Anderson]

ya, I'm gonna cancel my ea access and go for the games pass. great value.

 

[VeevaVee]

Got Xbox Game Pass trial and saw the WWE 2K17 game on there. Was thinking it'd be fun to relive my youth and play the career. Reading the reviews it seems like there's no story, and the creation tools aren't as good as back then

Graphics looks like they've barely improved from the clips too.

 

[VeevaVee]

Why is there not a recently made ninja game? A cross between Hitman and Assassin's Creed gameplay set in oldy world Japan with heavy RPG elements please. Preferably made by The Witcher guys.

5 years ago today the Xbox one was announced @Alock1

Still remember all the stupid bullshit that came with it. I still don’t know what the hell they were thinking with that. They saw the reactions when the leaks came out. But arrogance got the better of them.

good times.

Seriously, wtf is happening with Viva Pinata? Loaded it up for my little un recently and it's a great franchise. Whats the deal is it forever dead?

The first one was excellent, I loved my playthrough of that. I lost patience with the second one fairly quickly though as they added a lot of filler and additional mini games, when all I wanted to do was garden and hit things with the shovel...

Showed it to my little one and his reaction was "That looks boring, where are the guns and cars?"
Hour or so later and he won't let go of the controller .

Forgot about the second one. I think I have that somewhere. You saying it's not worth looking for?

It’s been dead for over a decade.

Apparently people moaned there was a lack of ethnic characters in the game and no female lead.

It came out at a time when MS were experimenting in the early days of 360 before they settled on the yearly Forza/Gears/Halo.

But we’d see at E3. From reading the rumours they apparently do have a few stuff lined up and they acquired a few studios also.

Personally I'd swerve it, but your mileage may vary.

If you are an ardent achievement hunter then definitely swerve it, as there are achievements linked to the defunct 360 camera peripheral...

 

[Parma Dewol]

Just a little side note: Rockstar Table Tennis is now available via backwards compatibility. Thought the game was fantastic on Xbox 360 and it is still every bit as fun. Ideal if you miss old-school games that had brilliant local multi-player. Great when you have a few mates round.

 

[VeevaVee]

I know this is a little against the thread title rule and hardly a revelation, but I'm just looking through Xbox One best sellers and there's so little to be excited about there. Playstation exclusives make it just far far more interesting.

Main reason I'm on Xbox is because most mates are, but it's very rare I even play with them.
Watch me switch for the next gen and Xbox have loads of sweet exclusives.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Well they did invest in a bunch of studios for next gen, but they have royally botched this gen on the exclusive front. Saying that, I still prefer my XB1-X because of the 4k hdr and controller, but I still have a PS4 for exclusives.

I much prefer the Xbox controller, but it wouldn't stand in my way.
Can't justify both as I only get a game every now and then to get stuck into single player. PS4 would've made a lot more sense, although had a good laugh online on Ghost Recon with my mate.

I'm not committing to either just yet, but I've been happy with my system of Xbox main and PS4 for exclusives this gen. If they are all £500+ next gen then they can suck my balls now that mid gen upgrades are a thing.

I had an Xbox One in the UK and now I'm thinking of buying a 1TB one in Canada. If I do can I sign in on my Xbox Live profile I had in the UK or do I have to create a new one?

 

[Bojan11]

MS have confirmed they bought Obsidian and some other studio. If they could get Insomniac then that would be a big coup and hurt their rivals directly as they develop Ratchet and Spider-Man. Thinks are looking up @Alock1.

I'm a bit behind in gaming news... is that an actual possibility? That would be huge.

 

[Di Maria's angel]

Spyro reignited is out in two days! What a time to be alive. Year of the dragon was amazing.

 

[Klopper76]

I've had an Xbox in the UK for years but I'm buying a new one in Canada tonight. Does anyone know if I can simply use my UK gamertag in Canada and download the account info when I set the Xbox up? Or do I need to set up a new Xbox Live account?

Pretty sure nothing is Geolocked on Xbox now so should be fine.

Nice thanks, I'll find out for sure later I guess. Would be handy to keep the same gamertag.

 

[Fortitude]

Has anyone used the standard xbox 1 controller and the elite controller? If so, what is so special about the elite to make it almost triple the price?

 

[starman]

When you sign up for a account, is there any benefits in using a microsoft email? Can i still use gmail for onedrive & microsoft rewards?

 

[Klopper76]

Anyone had issues signing in to their account today? I keep getting a message saying sign in isn’t available currently.

It was a mess of a project greenlit by Matrick.

The game does nothing new. It doesn’t evolve from even first one. You just go around destroying shit. The nolvelty will wear off especially in a empty open world.

 

[Redlambs]

Well I for one am shocked. I would have loved it to be great though, I have fond memories of the first.

The best thing they have at the moment is Sea of Thieves, and they are doing their best to ruin that too lately

 

[esmufc07]

Bought an Xbox because all my mates have one and not a PS4. So now I own both.

What are the best exclusives for this?

Haha, I did like Gears of War but I've only ever played the first. I've seen @Redlambs mention sea of thieves a few times aswell

Looks gash, but meant to be quite fun if there's a few of you. I'd consider getting it if you were cool
