Games with gold on the xbone is effin grim

Actually, I've been pleasantly surprised by the games they've been giving away - they're games I wouldn't have thought to buy, but have thoroughly enjoyed... with the exception of Crimson Dragon which I haven't downloaded.

Each time they've announced them I've thought it was a bit of a poor line up, but Max, Guacamelee, Spartan Assault and now Super Time Force I've all really enjoyed. I didn't even mind the Strike Suit Zero, again, something I would have never got, but enjoyed it enough to complete.

Shame they can't do two every month (looks like its going to be three every two months), but I guess there just isn't enough content yet :\

Just picked up an Xbox One today (Already have a PA4)...

First impressions.. Jesus, how long does it take to install a game!!!

What a stupid design the Kinect is, you have to buy an adapter to sit it on the top of the TV.

I've not used a PS4 yet, but from what I understand about the same time? Although a lot of games on the XOne allow you to play after about 10% install - not sure if PS4 does this too.

As for the Kinect, it's designed to sit under the TV, it expects to be sat under the TV, so I'd say it's well designed for that. It would look bloody stupid sat on top of the TV IMHO. Below the TV it just kinda blends in for me, don't notice it. Don't use it, but don't notice it

Dance Central Spotlight is now available! Just downloaded it, £7.99, with DLC songs coming in at £1.59.

Unfortunately it doesn't fit under my TV

I'll have to re-think my layout.

Eh? Max, Guacamelee, and Super Time Force are bloody brilliant fun! Have you even tried them?

It's early days yet any way, we can't expect them to be giving away any retail games just yet.

PS4 installs quicker, but for me the download time is horrendous.

I agree Kinect is designed exactly for under the TV

I thought that was quite good to be honest. I love the Dance Central games though, just completed all the beginner routines and 1 pro routine (on Pompeii by Bastille). Took me about an hour and a half. I did buy 3 or 4 tracks aswell though. Still got 9 more dance routines per song. Great value IMO.

Definitely worth picking up if you are a fan of the series.

It's s shame was looking forward to that hehe oh well

Pretty decent deal for £20 per year.

I didn't rate the new NFS though, the cop side of things was good but being a racer wasn't too fun. The cops felt really OP.

ScarySquirrel · 3 Sep 2014 at 09:08

Apparently they've just said "this month' for NFS into EA Access Vault.

Does anyone know what the deal is with changing your locale to US so you can buy games for less and get earlier access? What are the risks? Will my UK purchased games still be available? Can I change back to UK and still have access to my US purchased games?

Cheers

Minecraft coming out this Friday.

Anyone else buying it on the One?

Not sure which console to get it on, would prefer options of playing with people.

It makes my TV look like a fat, black Jonny 5

I'll be getting it on the xbox one but it will be my daughter who is playing it, not me

Neil King · 3 Sep 2014 at 11:08

I must be the only one as I am absolutely still loving the Kinect/Xboxone, love browsing the web on a large screen with TV snapped, can watch football on Sky Sports whilst talking on forums to football fans, just fantastic much better than using a tiny screen on a mobile phone, just 10 years years ago what you can do on the xboxone would have been fantasy, amazing piece of technology and in the future will become standard and built into all types of technological devices.

I find the UI intuitive and improving by the month with new updates, in a years time I can see it being even better.

Don't know of any risks, lots of people do it. I'm buying Destiny and Diablo 3 from the HK store this week as well
