    Is the 1tb edition worth the extra €50? Looking to find a decent bundle, after holding off last month. Got a €200 voucher from work, which will take a good chuck off the price. Missed the bundle Argos had yesterday (included Forza and Fallout 4 for €350), so trying to see what the best bundle is.

    It's €50 for 500gb really so I'd say no. I'd say you'd be better off putting an extra €35 towards that 50 and getting a true extra 2TB: http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2489935/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7COffice%252C%2BPCs%2Band%2Bphones%7C14418968/c_2/3%7C19780850%7CHard%2Bdrives%252C%2BUSBs%2Band%2Bdata%2Bstorage%7C14419053/c_3/4%7Ccat_14419053%7CPortable%2Bhard%2Bdrives%7C14419054.htm

    Also, if i got the bundle with a digital copy of Fifa, can i sell that on, or is it pre-installed?

    Its a code on a sheet of card, that triggers a download, you can sell it on alright, but only via adverts or similar, CEX etc wont take it.

    Anybody getting Ark?
    It's out now via the early access program. 24gb initial download with an 18gb update on first launch.


    You get to play 1 hour free to try before you buy. It's been a big hit on PC since it launched last year. Currently €35 on Irish store or 18 via Russia. Price will more than likely go up to 60/70 for full release next summer.


    I downloaded it but just going to try the free hour before I commit. I love the idea of it but doesn't sound worth it unless there's be a good few of us playing it.

    Was thinking the same thing, sounds like it could be a bit of fun with a group but I shudder at the thought of playing with randoms. :pac:

    Edit: Just watching the video Misky posted, at around 3:15 I bet whoever recorded that didn't make the jump from the looks of how it cut to the next bit :D

    Apparently you can set up private servers on it like on PC but it would require someone making their xbox a full time server or something.

    Can't imagine that will work on consoles surely? How many players per instance / shard?

    I was expecting it to be more like neverwinter / mmo set up, even destiny where you have an over world instance with a capped number of players think I read 100 on pc??? and then when you move to a main quest / story zone it's only grouped players that go or you queue ?

    I'll hold off till I see some more footage from xbox , anything they have released surprised me in terms of stuff I would have expected to see on the hud and it not to be there like chat in the lower left for example. Maybe I got the wrong idea about this.

    I was under the impression there isn't really a story, that it's just a sand box survival game where you start off with nothing and try and build your way up.

    I'm having a look through the subreddit now to see what people think and get an idea what the story is with servers.

    More backwards compatible titles to be announced today, according to everyones favourite old duffer, major nelson.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,192 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Are the BC games released digitally, or do you need the disc?

    if you own them digitally - as in you bought them from games on demand, they'll be fully digital on xbox one.

    If you have em on disc, you put the disc in the drive, and it downloads a digital (backwards compatible) copy to your xb1, but to play it, you need to have the original disc in the drive for authentication

    Surely Doritos Crash Course is more than enough to keep ye occupied.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Apparently Doritos Crash Course is delisted and any servers are shut down too.
