Not sure if this has been picked up yet - but just seen a video for MS Flight sim with release date of 27th July - personally can't wait.

Free Top Gun expansion pack as well coming in the Autumn.

Got the game on my PC but only have a 1070 in there so hoping it'll run a lot better on the console.

Does anyone know if there will be any peripherals available for the XBox rather than using the pad?

New trailer as far as I am aware:

 
Sounds like you would be better suited to PC. I doubt all FPS games will be supporting a mouse any time soon as it's very niche in the console domain and it ruins multiplayer gaming if mouse users aren't put in their own matchmaking group, which would fracture the player base.

Exactly this. Gears is my only game I play really. It's had cross play with the option to turn it off. Now they have forced it on as the game population has dropped. I won't play PVP again. It's gone down badly on the gears forums, PC players defending it and console players going against it.

Arguments from the PC crowd that 240HZ isn't an advantage, movement is harder on a keyboard, FOV on the series X is now the same as PC. Or the classic "you can use a KB&M on xbox" or "some pc users use a controller"

Cross play is fine for PVE modes like horde but shouldn't be forced on pvp. All matching making should be input based. I don't care how good someone thinks they are with a controller, I've yet to see someone consistently hit with the sniper like this well know PC player.

Regardless of the player skill running at him he just doesn't miss and uses the sniper like a one shot kill weapon

Even with Aim assist and the thousands of hours I've put into this game I've not seen anything like that.
Anyone that thinks they can do this below on controller? If you only watch one clip watch the below and see what cross play does.

I got into console gaming for as level a playing field as I could get with as little cheating as possible. Now you not only have the advantages of PC gaming but you run into the cheaters too.

Aw man, I didn't need two reasons to buy a XSX this early on!

My Mrs is going to freak out :cry:

If you have a spare £330 you might like this.

Having fun with Yakuza like a dragon which just hit Gamepass, was about to buy a copy last week so glad I held off :D
I haven't played any of the other titles in the series. Is it playable as is or do I need to play the others within the series to have a Scooby Doo whats going on regarding the story?
 
Changed my vote to Series X. Bought my son a PS5 for Christmas but some of his wee pals got Xboxes from Santa. Managed to acquire a Series X from John Lewis shortly after Christmas so now he has both.

Still plays the same guff as he did on the PS4 and Xbox One S (Fortnite and Minecraft).

As long as he's happy though eh?

Had to laugh at my mates in work being miffed at not getting a PS5 when all they intend playing on it is FIFA and COD.
 
Hmm, having seen Flight Sim and the issue with Shooters, I am now wondering now where to set my XBox! Either in the lounge, or at my desk connected to a monitor. I have an UW 49" 120hz. Will it look alright?

Flight Sim looks amazing, I also have a 1070 so it will be brilliant to have a playable version as the PC version will struggle.

Surely MS Flight Sim will work with other USB joysticks/yokes as playing flight sim without a keyboard, or using a joypad, on a settee, looks really hard.

No you don’t need to have played the previous games as Like a Dragon is a whole new cast and story. Like a Dragon is the first to be turn-based as well.
 

The Metro Exodus update looks amazing. Picked up the Gold Edition for £20, money well spent! Update goes live on Friday.
I have just downloaded a 60+ gb patch for exodus. Muscled through most of it but the connection speed dropped off near the end. Just going to give it a try now. I presume it is the update we have been waiting for?

Ah cool, thanks for the reply. I saw Euro gamer playing it on release and thought it looked pretty bizarre, will defo get that on the download.
 
All this talk of keyboard+mouse and COD has meant that I have gone and bought the Turret off fleabay for £170 barely used.

Hopefully it's one of the few items on fleabay that really means barely used due to lack of support for most titles.

But I have 190gb worth of COD:MW still waiting to play since I bought it for £25 in November 2019 :p

Should be arriving tomorrow so it will be time to get stuck in.
