That's how long you lasted on the chase isn't it?
Let's watch it together down the pub. I'll get the pornstarz in.

They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.

Touché!Sorry what was that? I couldn't hear you over the two games I finished this week.
The cost you ask? Well it was included as part of the subscription, you see. Relatively minor.

I've been playing the new Monkey Island game recently, quite pleasant and more straightforward than I anticipated it to be - I remember original Monkey Island games to be quite convoluted and hard to navigate around, but I was probably about 12 when I played them so it might have been that. Also, my current perception may be driven by the fact I have only completed about an hour and a half so far. I played Thimblewood Park on Switch recently, which inherits a lot of things after games like Monkey Island, and it got so crazy in its complexity and how particular it required you to be about certain puzzles that I just stopped playing (I don't really want my experience to be mostly about checking online walkthroughs at all times).

Chained Echoes is an absolute gem of a classic JRPG
If you could liken it to another JRPG, what would it be?
It's pretty much a homage to Chrono Trigger, so probably that.
It has a cool modern battle system, kinda like Octopath.
It's also very challenging, most battles require a decent level of strategy, especially bosses.
And it has all the nice modern improvements - characters move really fast, it's zippy, and encounters aren't random, you can save anywhere etc.
I really like the look of this, definitely getting it at some point. After the disappointment that was Octopath, I'd love to play a modern-classic JRPG that's actually good. I'm hoping this and/or Live a Live deliver that.
Hmm, yeah, I've done 2 of the 8 chapters of that and I'm not loving it. It's modern in a sense that they've updated the graphics but the combat is still very 1994. Also every story is completely self contained meaning different characters back at level 0 for 3-4 hours and then you move on. So, it's kinda ok for the Switch to dive in/out of when it suits, but ... yeah, it's ok. I'm disappointed, I expected more.
I've had it downloaded but not started yet as I can tell I'll be sucked into it, and I've got too much on.
That sounds... exactly like Octopath. Yikes.
I would say Octopath (which I enjoyed, despite its flaws) was better because you have the same characters throughout and they level up throughout the game. These are completely different stories and characters.
P4G is a no brainer for anyone who hasn't played it yet. One of the best JRPG's ever.
Monster Hunter Rise looks interesting.

How would you say P4G compared to P5?
I'm planning to jump straight into P3P as I've heard the story is really good.
What am I your personal fecking game review.
Monster Hunter looks excellent. Hopefully it runs smooth.
Xbox direct show coming on the 25th of this month. Going to give dates to games.
I'm thinking about getting Hades. I'm usually not much into roguelites since repeatedly going through the same areas seems like a waste of time, however Hades is supposed to be absolutely great. What's your opinion @Massive Spanner ?
Apparently Starfield isn't there. They are planning to give it it's own Todd Howard event later.
Might get an Xbox for Starfield. What’s you’re opinion @Massive Spanner ?
Yes lad. You're welcome here now
Any chance Obsidian will show something from Avowed or Outer Worlds 2?
Edit: nvm, looks like its Elder Scrolls Online, Forza, Redfall and Minecraft Legends.

Yeah I think everything not coming in h1 will wait til e3.
Think avowed is next year earliest and OW2 2-3 years away.
Currently have an xbox one. The first one that came out. I'm thinking of getting the series s. I don't game as much as I did In the past, so I don't want to waste money on the x. Is it worth the upgrade from one to the new s?
How often do you play it?
I go through phases of playing it a couple of times a week, and then not playing it for weeks.
Oh, I would think so. Series S is a good option for someone who does not game much. You can get such good deals on them.
Is it future proof though? Will all series X games play on the series S?
Yeah. Just sometimes with reduced quality (not 4k/lower fps/slightly worse graphically). But still better than the One.
The SX would future proof you from your own upgrades though, like 4K/120fps capable tv, and has more storage which makes life easier as there’s some big games around these days. Depends what you’ll play there.
Wanna know what's still a piece of crap? The elite series 2 controller, that's what.
Not only do some of my buttons not work on it, now, I bought a mic to plug into it but the jack must be broke on it! The mic is dead when I plug it in.
The mic works perfect on my regular controller, so I know it's the controller that's broke.

The qc on them is a pisstake. Extended warranty is a must. They’re the best controller by far when they’re working, which makes it more annoying. V3 needs to hurry up.
I have been playing Xbox games for a couple of days now, mainly just Halo Infinite. Cloud gaming, without the console. Really neat set up honestly. I'm not a huge gamer but to be able to just play games without having to fork out on an actual console is really cool and I can cancel the game pass subscription whenever I want. I do have a PS4 still, so I don't really miss out on any PS games I want to play.
This Atomic Hearts that's out next month looks the fecking tits. Major Bioshock vibes.
Anyone here plays Descenders? I absolutely love that game but MP lobby is so weird and hard to find people to play with.
I do notice most lobby offerings will be either #NoAdults or #AdultsOnly ? Is this the norm in XBox? I find it seems to have a lot more kids than playstation (it's my first Xbox) and most are annoying, so I do find it makes some sense. I did have a pleasant play session with an extremely polite and well behaved 11 year old, but don't know what are the ethics guidelines on this, if there are any. Never played much online except a long dedication to a GTA mature crew and this is my first X-Box.

I can’t remember how it works on it but love that game. So satisfying to play. Hope they thing a more fleshed out sequel with better multiplayer.
Whatever you’re describing there isn’t the norm for Xbox online though.
