In legendary edition I tried choosing Kaiden to see the difference, really wish I didn't. Can't think of a more boring character in all of gaming...

Yeah, made the same mistake. Having taken Ashley 3 times prior, thought let me take Kaiden. Though I did play a Femshep as well to see how it balanced out. No Miranda and also legendary does cut out on the arse shots.

Just because it wasn't exclusive doesn't mean they didn't have any games.

This is a lot of my opinion here, so take with a pinch of salt.

Will start off with the good for this year - Indiana and the new Doom were bangers. I really enjoyed them both.

But going through that list, there were a lot of memorable pains that is borderline unforgivable given what they charge for the games on launch (if you were to buy instead of Gamepass).

* Forza Motorsport: The save bug issue killed any joy I got out of that game. Others also had issues with roads disappearing. Took them ages to fix these bugs, and that save issue was game breaking.
* Oblivion: Not my sort of game but they managed to port over all the old bugs, and of course it ran like dried up mud on high end hardware.
* Starfield: I enjoyed it for what it was, but time has changed my opinion of the game. It felt like it was released 10 years too late - because it looks and feels dated. Nevermind the mission breaking bugs and many loading screens. I really wanted to like this game, but yeah.
* Starfield DLC: Met with a whelming response. It's never really gone on special (seems to be permanently at -10% on the xbox store) and even that is too expensive.
* Hellblade: A walking face animation simulator
* Halo Infinite: Just going to rage about the campaign here, I know the multiplayer aspect is enjoyed but many. The campaign was dull and repetitive. The cutscenes shipped with a stuttering bug and it took them months to fix this. I imagine this game was the first Halo experience for many (it was for me) and it left me never wanting more. How this studio survived and other ones got nuked boggles my mind.
* Redfall: Nothing to say here, it speaks for itself

I could go on. All I can say is thank goodness I haven't had to pay more than the Gamepass sub for my Xbox games experiences.

That's what Bethesda does, all the bugs from Skyrim over all the editions carry over. They don't bug fix, they just make it look prettier.
 
I started ME1 and could not get into it, after a few months I gave it another chance and it all clicked, I loved the game.

I liked all the games in the series, even Andromeda.
 
Was amped for it like a little brother to Battlefield 6. Do they have any local servers for multiplay?

Yes they do have local servers.

98GB on xbox for the base game plus muliplayer + 26GB if you want to play the free campaign also.

Was getting 32ms ping. Xbox. Cross Play enabled. Cape Town.

Shows on top right of screen, along with frame rate.

Game was smooth and shots registered fine. Just character can feel a bit 'floaty' at times. Hoping just launch day wrinkle and will be addressed.
 
Also official pricing on Xbox Handheld:

ROG Xbox Ally (White) = $549.99
ROG Xbox Ally X (Black) = $899.99

Not officially coming to RSA. Grey Imports only :(

Can anyone help me find the original Xbox One Chatpad. Brand new or secondhand. I know MS discontinued this years ago 😭

I’m aware of the many the dupes online. Some of the reviews aren’t great!

Helldivers is great. Takes some getting to grips with map, positioning and strategems management.. Friendly fire in this game is off the chain. Everything will kill you.
2 nights and I already have the the Reinforce 'code' memorised.
:laugh:

I see that you were playing this and not Gears. :D
 
Aliens Fireteam Elite is back on Game Pass, been gone almost 3 years. May re-install it and finish off my achievements
