Unsure if this belongs here or the Games thread, but i was really excited to see Ago of Empires on GPU after it being a personal favourite on the pc many years ago. However it just felt awkward to use without a mouse for selecting units.

For anyone else who's played it, do you get used to the controls? I'm not sure i want to sit on the sofa with a KB/Mouse

I was contemplating Age of Mythology : Retold, which was recently released on GPU but have also been put with the controls. However, the control system has been updated specifically for controllers and is supposedly pretty good. Not sure if the this applies to the previous updated versions of Ages or not though. Worth a download punt in any case.
 
Has anyone here used the steelseries arctis nova 5x? I wanted some wireless headphones that had a relatively decent microphone and these were reviewed quite well

That's mental. I thought the SX utilised storage compression?! It's beyond me how or why CoD games consume so much storage.

Ah, this was on Series S so no fancy technology. I think what it was doing is pre-installing BLOPS 6 and also MW3 as I didn't have them installed before.

I think it's mental that all of these CoD games are packaged together like this. They should decouple online / warzone too. I'm only ever interested in the campaigns. CoD is occupying 255.7GB of my storage space. Going to uninstall once I've played the MW3 and BLOPS campaigns.

I've not played CoD since the first BLOPs but aren't the MP maps based on locations visited within the campaign?! Either way, I'm still stunned at the size of the content in general. Mad.
 
I got the Steelseries Arctis Nova 5x yesterday and I'm not impressed. Sound quality is no where near as good as my much cheaper Cloud II's (but they are wired) so they'll be getting returned

I didn’t see your post yesterday but I’ve got a set. I wanted a pair that I could use on PS5 too. The ability to play music from your phone and game at the same time is cool however I’ve never used it and probably won’t!
They are good enough for me but I’ve had better, my last pair of plantronics 300 were better in every way. Cheaper too. I gave them to a grad at work so he could play helldivers with us.
 
Something is irritating me. When i download a new game, i end up with Text to Speech for a couple of screens for menu narration etc, it then goes away but it's annoying as i've been downloading a lot recently from Game Pass to find something to grab me.

I've got all settings in accessibility turned off. This never happened on my old Series X. Is there some update that's been released which turns it on by default?
