    Microsoft acquire Activision

    This isn't like a lot of the new trend of subscription based services. There is nothing in this service you can't get without the game pass sub, you just pay differently (more). It's not like netflix, where you can't get the content without the sub. I actually like gamepass, not for getting...

    Haha, hello there :) Yeah, I got stuck on the other side of the world so they gave me citizenship and stuff :D I still lurk here from time to time. Yeah, I don't really play online much anymore, when they do have aussie servers they're pretty empty for most games after release month, same goes...

    I just renewed through the brazil method for 3 years (cost me AU$180). So since I'm pretty much exclusively digital now, and new AAA games over here are AU$100 for a standard edition, it takes less than two games in three years that I would have otherwise bought, for me to get value. For me...

    Halo Infinite

    No, there is something more to it. I'm on a 50mb connection, but if there is a game running, its down to 14mb. As soon as I suspend it, it jumps straight back up to 50mb

    Halo Infinite

    I really enjoyed the opening section, but now I'm in open world, its like I'm playing Assassins Halo Cry from UbiClone tbh. Looks great, plays great, bored by copy paste open world filler :( Enjoyed finding the Craig easter egg though. Also surprised by finding the grapple hook actually quite...

    Spec me a game...

    Assassins Creed is more or less re-skinned Far Cry these days. I'd go for AC: Odyssey. Its a good game in its own right, and if you like UbiSoft formula, this'll do it.

    Ah yeah, that'll explain it, thought it was just my aussie broadband limiting :D Strange it's just 1080p for everyone.

    My console just got updated with cloud gaming for a whole bunch of game pass games... I didn't know this was coming. Had a quick go at the Ascent, took a while to start up, but the game play was lag free. I'm only on 50mb connection, so the graphics looked a bit less sharp than a local...

    I've had dozens of bugs, like reward boards becoming invisible; seasonal championship races restarting after the first two; always 1mph under speed camera requirements, despite being 20+ mph over (also 1ft under for jumps); constant disconnects; sound glitches after resume; seasonal rewards...

    Yep, ordered this too, I usually get Forza ultimate editions, so this feels like a bargain. Hope they do more of this sort of thing for other MS first party releases. Forza is likely the only one I'd take advantage of, but for others it feels like a good compromise.

    *** Battlefield 2042 (Console) ***

    You chose... wisely. If you go to manage game, and select File Info, you can see the 9Gb file is for XboxOne and the 17Gb is for Gen9 (Series X/S). Dumb of them to not show the difference on the market page though... still feels like they don't know what they're doing when they release a...

    No you don't, they don't make it obvious, but you can buy the XS standard edition, but its 10 bucks (in Australia) more than the X One version. Need to go hunting, but its there.

    Forza Motorsport 7

    That's weird, I've got the disc Ultimate version too, but not recieved a code. It's really bad It's going EOL without the sequel even announced. I was just getting back into this, dead convienient no longer needing the disc, looks like that won't be the case anymore. Still really looking...

    Xbox controller has a built in charger.

    Deal is with Duracel. I don't want built in, I've got rechargeables that I switch around when they go dead, then I just keep playing cordless. I can't understand the benefit of built in. What happens when the batteries eventually die? New controller time? Do not understand this obsession with...

    Ah yeah, nice thanks. If forgotten about the licensed music thing. It's crazy that music can affect the availability of games... bloody music industry tainting the games industry with its stink; the games industry has enough of its own!! :D But yeah, still bodes well for Jedi... I'm assuming I...

    Do games other than sports leave EA Play? I'm still without a Series X and am holding back on Jedi until I get one.

    This isn't true. You keep the 360 games and can play them without an active subscription, but not the Xbox One games, you "keep" them forever (unlike gamepass games which come and go), but cannot play them without an active subscription. So if you cancel, you'll lose them, but if you then renew...

    The Xbox One had instant on from first release. Instant resume was only for the last game played however, and only when instant on was enabled. Or are you talking about something else :confused: I've always had instant on, on for the instant resume. But it sounds like for the Series X/S I...

    Oh right, thanks. Yeah not bothered about DLC, I never seem to play DLC, even if I have it. But the Series X upgrade is important, especially as I heard it can grind on the OneX during action heavy scenes. Saving it for when they actuality deliver more XSX to Oz, been none since release, and...
