I have the disc version on pre-order from Amazon.Why you cancelling?
I have the disc version on pre-order from Amazon.Why you cancelling?
100%.Amen. I have voice chat off now if I’m not playing with friends and have for years, it’s mostly toxic kids who have had relationships with my mother. Would be nice to see that stamped out and the chance to talk to normal people without hearing a throbbing temple vein.
Has there been any stock over the past 3 weeks? I signed up to both email alerts and push notifications and haven't got anything other than that stupid Curry's one where the console was priced at £2kGot through and the guy asked why on earth was I cancelling because they're like gold dust and I said I had two pre-orders. He went "Not being cheeky but how did you get it off Amazon? I've been looking for ages.". Proceeded to tell him about Stock Informer and he was so thankful
Some popped up today, but they went within a few mins.Do we think they will do another pre-order batch before release?
No idea mate. Looking at the recent stock history on SI though looks like not much.Has there been any stock over the past 3 weeks? I signed up to both email alerts and push notifications and haven't got anything other than that stupid Curry's one where the console was priced at £2k
He was in Sackboy then loaded Destruction AllStars but there was no message on screen at any point asking if user was sure they wanted to close the game as progress wasn't saved etc - like is currently the case on PS4, so it suggests there is the ability to have multiple games at one time, though I think if it was a feature it would have been mentioned by now.I can't watch till later on, is there any competition for Xbox's quick resume feature?
I've alerts set up aye, only for the past few weeks though so missed the en masse restocksSome popped up today, but they went within a few mins.
Have you set up a stock alert
I am a PS fan boy and will definitely be using this machine as my no.1 over the Series X but there’s no doubt in my mind that Sony have been far less engaging with their audience than Xbox. Everything on the marketing side of Series X has been great - from hearing directly from Phil Spencer and architects of the console in podcasts and on YouTube, to letting influencers get their hands on it early, showcasing features and being all in on backwards compatibility and game pass. All we are getting from Sony are very boring, soulless videos that don’t really explain much along with confusing things like the Spider-Man save and remastered situation.
it’ll matter not one jot in the long run and I fully expect PlayStation to outsell Xbox but there’s only one company that’s making the gamer feel valued currently and it’s not Sony

I actually agree with this too, I don't think Sony needed to do much but some extra clarity over things would be nice. I still don't think I fully understand the transition into next-gen when it comes to games, saves and this, that and the other.I am a PS fan boy and will definitely be using this machine as my no.1 over the Series X but there’s no doubt in my mind that Sony have been far less engaging with their audience than Xbox.

Name has indeed been amended. Not too smart putting my real name in, living in smallish country, where likes of @The Black Pearl wreak havoc.Are you @maxipaxi and why has your name changed
He sounds less like a tampon now tbf.Are you @maxipaxi and why has your name changed
I know, Sony needed something extraordinary with UI hype but of course its just a re-skin with help of an ssd.For all the anticipation of the Ui reveal, you don't actually need the PS5 UI to do anything that PS3 couldn't. I need to open games, launch the store and open netflix.
Hell, the Switch UI is probably more basic than the PSP's

All jokes aside. Xbox looks to be making a big comeback next gen. I only want the one console and thats ps5. But if Xbox puts age of Empires into that console. I will buy it hah.Bloody hell I posted that then went for a run. Came back to 6 new replies and thought “ I’m gonna get slaughtered here”
Glad to know I’m not alone! Like we’ve all said, it won’t affect much anyway but I’d like more clarity and more presence. I think they could do with a Major Nelson type that does the rounds and gets people hyped. Mark Cerny is not that guy!
The Age 3 remaster released on PC today. Was always the weakest game in the series though.All jokes aside. Xbox looks to be making a big comeback next gen. I only want the one console and thats ps5. But if Xbox puts age of Empires into that console. I will buy it hah.
Yeah that's true. I hate that everytime I see Xbox game pass for console and pc. They mention AOE 3 for them both, when it's not. Hopefully one day I'll hear the news its coming to console.The Age 3 remaster released on PC today. Was always the weakest game in the series though.
Well aside from the console port of AOE2
Yeah I was thinking about watching a wiki / walkthrough / guide whilst on a particularly challenging bit.I like the overlay that let’s you watch friends stream etc, I wonder if YouTube/Twitch etc will be available.
