I have 2 devices + 1 PC and 1 laptop, when I log in any of them it has my GamePass linked. So linked to your Microsoft User account <-- Something I would not share with anyone, not even my Wife.

Oh yeah, not my main one. You'd need to create a new Microsoft account just for this subscription. Otherwise you're sharing your OneDrive contents (which usually includes your live Camera Roll) and your 365+ subscription too.

Never played or really looked at The Witcher 3. Any good?

I would recommend you download Witcher 2 via BC and play that. It will help you with the storyline and characters. It's not open world but it was still a brilliant game. And it was IMO one of the best looking 360 games I've ever played.

Then give 3 a try. But we can all agree you can't just try Witcher 3. You'll most likely get hooked. Just don't rush through the story and pay attention to story related mission and small details. It's a very big game and will take you at least 50-100 hours if you play through it properly. 200+ if you're thorough.

Don't bother with the horse. He does his own thing most of the time. Lot's of side quests (maybe a 100) Try to do them all.

And this is vital. Don't wait to do all the side missions after the story. If your around 3-5 levels higher than the quest level you won't earn XP for it. So you gotta do each quest in line with your own level. So keep checking your level and quests. You'll easily be level 45 after the main story. Then you can jump into the expansions.

One of the best games I've ever played.

I'd lose it. I do not have that patience! I temporarily upgraded the line for the holiday period, as I want to try out as many of the games in the game pass library - so far my favourite is Tetris :crying:


That is still reasonable. Wise move moving to uncapped.

Correction, I'm sitting at just under 3TB:
Uploads: 77 864 MB
Downloads: 2 927 108 MB

Not too long ago (2013ish) I could only get a 1mbps ADSL line. Some games took literal days to download. That's OK, I usually have enough to keep me entertained.

The main problem was hunting down the bandwidth hog when my internet slowed to a crawl. Windows Updates? Adobe? PS3 game auto update? Maybe one of my phone apps?

Or planning to game with your friends, and you get hit with a measly 1GB update. Oh well, there goes the night's gaming...

Or you just want to chill in front of the TV, but there's a PS Network update out, and you can't sign in the PSN until you update, and Plex won't launch unless you sign in....

And was just the problems in a single user household. Even friends with 10mbps lines would have trouble with wifes and gfs who want to watch Netflix when they want to game. When I could I went straight to 100mbps so that I would never have such issues again.
 
Just remembered that I actually own the first two Witcher games. They were free on GOG a few years back.

Maybe more than anything else I should ask how you guys manage your time that you’re able to play all of these lengthy games!

Probably no kids and/or have wives who also game.

Had a kid last year and gaming time was cut to 0 this year. Only recently managed to score about 10 hours per week, if that...

That’s just it, not married. No kids. But I’m being silly, I have Aspergers and that’s obviously where my time gets wasted. After 3000hrs I’m still overthinking which Xbox to get. Imagine if I used that time to game. Lol.
But enough of that thread derail , as you were, fellas.

Elon, go buy an Xbox Series X. Do it now. Don't think about it. Do it because I told you to. It's the right decision.

You're welcome.
 
Must say, nothing makes Skyrim age faster than starting up The Witcher 3.

Also love this little white box, what its capable of and the fact that you can start playing games while its still downloading in the background.

Edit: if you have an Series X, hold off on playing it

New update out with some decent features.

Should be able to pre-install certain games coming soon to GP, filter games to display only those optimised for X|S, and check whether the game you're playing is using auto HDR...
