Metacritic's #1 Publisher of the Year. It is very rare for a publisher to average above 80 for its releases across a single calendar year. But how often does a company average above 85 ? Never ... until this year.

I see the PDP Talon remote is back in stock on Amazon.

Anyone want to participate in a bulk order to save on shipping? (obviously makes more sense if we're all close enough to not require local shipping)

I'm in Cape Town

Each additional remote adds about 3 dollars to the shipping cost

Didn't click with it.

Thank goodness it was on GP so all it cost me was the download time.

It was generally well received. What didn’t you like about it?

Too cartoony I think and feels 'clunky'.

Nowhere near as smooth and seamless as God of War for instance (which I've just completed).

Maybe too much meaningless interaction in the first 5 minutes (look at this, turn that over, etc)....

Anyone here use a mechanical hard drive to store games on their series x/s and transfer back and forth? Is it feasible in terms of transfer times? I keep deleting and redownloading due to internal space constraints

I've been using an old USB 3 1.5TB I've carried over from my Xbox One S and it's not fast, but it's better then redownloading games. You can also play non enhanced games off of it.

Do you always keep it plugged in or remove it once you turn off the console?

On a gigabit line it's quicker to download.

200 Mbps and below it's quicker to transfer...
