I've lost track of all these rebrandings. EA Play is the same as their old Origin Access subscription right?

Final price for the Series X has been confirmed as £449.
Yeah it's the £5 tier that got added to Steam recently.

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

The large majority are still the people who are buying a few games a year not multiple games a month. You seem to be completely ignoring the Xbox Game Pass angle mentioned above, though? Pairing an "all you can eat" gaming service with paltry storage is just plain counter-intuitive. Not really, you...

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

I don't buy multiple games a month, I just have a big backlog from the odd sale and the barrage of free games I get with PS Plus. I don't think it'll be any different for new Xbox users either as many will be making use of the cheap Game Pass subscription which gives them access to hundreds of game...

Re: Desperados 3 [PC, PS4, XBone] - June 16th

I almost bought it a month or so back at the £25 mark, but I was in the middle of playing something else so decided to wait. Still a good price either way. I've only done the first tutorial mission but it looks and plays great. Some might say it's a bit of a reskin of Shadow Tactics, which it is in...

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

The reason I call COD an edge case is because it is unique, no other game around requires you to regularly download patches that are the size of most games. I have plenty of games installed btw and sometimes I have to remove something but it's usually something I have had on my system that I haven't...

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

I think for the majority of people it wont matter as they don't need to have multiple games installed at once. I only have a 256GB SSD on my PC and it works out mostly fine for me. If you are someone who wants lots of games installed at once then sure it's an issue but I do think that is possibly an...

Re: The F1 thread

Don't forget that Bottas didn't have any issues
Well that's because Bottas is rubbish when not out in front. ¬_¬

Him not being able to make much headway despite a superior car just highlights again the issues around overtaking.

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

Propriety is probably the wrong word, specific advanced SSDs that I don't think are even available on the consumer market yet, at least not at anything like a reasonable price. I think Sony is going to partner with certain manufacturers so that people know which drives to use. Whatever the wordage, ...

Re: Phoenix Point - new tactical strategy from original XCOM devs

A quick google shows that there's a player-made mod available to sort that issue. I've no idea if it is present in this version yet, and not sure if it's exactly the same issue but from the sound of it it's a feature rather than a bug (the one I read about was more to do with the aliens flinching a...

Re: Xbox & Microsoft News/Discussion

I do think that the 512gb storage might severely cripple the machine come the end of the generation though. We're already seeing games coming with 100gb installs, and with the big step up in hardware capability with both the new consoles and nvidia's new cards, I can only see bigger more detailed a...

Re: Phoenix Point - new tactical strategy from original XCOM devs

Reinstalling this (it's still on Game Pass), as I've read that a number of big updates and patches have made a big difference, and it's almost a different game now. It definitely had the kernel of something good when I played it before, so will be interesting to see how it's improved. Have they fix...
