I'm struggling to finish it. I'm at the second last boss and I just have lost interest. The talking guns is unique, but the gunplay is lacking imo. Feels very floaty, no "feel" to the weapons.

I've been playing Pentiment recently and loving it. Playing it on my phone mainly as touch controls work reasonably well for it. Obviously it's completely story based and very little 'gameplay' but even so I find the story very well told and enough intrigue to keep pressing on with it.

Not too far into high on life, got side tracked by the fact it's got the full tammy and the trex movie in it to watch. I saw the poster on the wall and laughed as I remembered it from back in the day and then later came back and it was on the tv and thought surely not but yeah they whole thing is there 🤣

I'm currently playing it also. Is that the film on the Tv? I seen a bit of it two guys grabbing each other by the cock. Left at the that moment to play the game.

the "testicular standoff" 😂 Yeah I got a bit further than that before I left it but the whole thing is there by all accounts, its a bit of a cult classic in the so bad it's bad but good. Paul Walker was only a kid in it and a young Denise Richards.

I find it a good game so far. But like always and collecting things I spent far too long trying to collect the collectibles. I was on the roof in the slums searching for ages and some how managed to get up to a roof your not meant to and fell behind the wall and was stuck and had to reload a checkpoint. Luckily the game saves constantly so didn't loose anything.

DM_2092 · 04-01-2023 12:56am

Absolutely loved this game. So chill, easy enough and very funny. Love thdt type of game. Wasn't too long either.

Why o why did I download Age of Empires 2 it shouldn't be this addictive.

Still a great game imo

Potential-Monke · 04-01-2023 8:42pm

Ah, AoE2, another one I've forgotten about. Installing! I've tried them all, and 2 is still the best of them.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 11-01-2023 1:28pm

Anyone give Mortal Shell a go since it was added?

Potential-Monke · 21-01-2023 9:23am

In completely unexpected but extremely welcome news, PowerWash Simulator is getting free DLC at the end of the month, in a strange crossover with Tomb Raider!

This game has only existed in my universe since this morning - I'm too old to be up to date on these things. Could it finally scratch my Sekiro itch that has lingered a while? Looks very promising!

Goldeneye is coming out on Game Pass on Friday. No mention of price for non subscribers yet but most likely €20, the game is also free if you own Rare Replay digitally.

Just a quick question someone might have come across. My young lad has Game Pass Ultimate stacked on his account. He uses Xbox all the time. I on the other hand only use PC. Is there any way he can share with me without having to log in as his profile on the PC?

Theoretically, if his account was the primary MS account on your computer; you could sign in with your account on the Xbox app and potentially use it. There may be limitations though, one in particular is that you don't get access to EA Play games (and presumably also not Ubisoft Connect or Riot games).

Alternative option to full access for both of you is to set up an XGP Friends and Family subscription; but that would require the lad to be the primary subscription owner, or you'd have to wait for the XGPU to lapse first before he can join the F&F group as a member.

I'm pretty sure the Xbox App allows you to log in as a different account without changing the actual pc account

Glebee · 25-01-2023 9:03pm

Cheers guys, yes I can log in with his details direct on PC at same time as he's loged onto Xbox so will suss it out. EA play will be the issue but I'll live with it for the moment, might as well try to get the most out of his ultimate, lol. I wonder if I download game do I need to be signed in to play?

sniper_samurai · 25-01-2023 9:49pm

New game from Tango Gameworks available today, Hi-Fi Rush. Should be available to download shortly.

marcbrophy · 25-01-2023 9:58pm

Newly announced and straight into GamePass!

That's how to do it 😁

sniper_samurai · 25-01-2023 10:11pm

Finally, the first Game Pass update since the start of December.

Looks very decent, I'll be having a whirl of this later

Iseedeadpixels · 26-01-2023 5:17pm

Gonna buy Goldeneye outright but Age of Empires for the Xbox....Yes please!

sniper_samurai · 26-01-2023 5:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120161323#Comment_120161323

Depending on the price you'd be better off buying Rare Replay digitally as Goldeneye is included. It is not available for no additional charge for disc copies though.

True!

Nemanrio · 26-01-2023 7:18pm

Will AoE2 definitive edition be available to buy outright do ye think?

Treppen · 26-01-2023 7:19pm

Goldeneye have multiplayer?

sniper_samurai · 26-01-2023 7:32pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120161887#Comment_120161887

All games can be bought outright, you get a 20% discount on any game in Game Pass.

Split screen only, no online multiplayer in the Xbox version. There is online multiplayer in the Switch version though but that version requires a Nintendo Online subscription with the Expansion Pass.

sniper_samurai · 27-01-2023 2:12am

Goldeneye is available now on Xbox. It is not available for individual purchase, only as part of Rare Replay or with Game Pass.

I've got to say it's rough and half assed compared to Project Bean or the 360 version of Perfect Dark.

Graphics are sharp and can be played in 4:3, 16:9 and 21:9, but object pop in is an issue without the N64 fog. Geometry tearing is also an issue. Baflingly the hud is in potato resolution being completely illegible, wouldn't surprise me if it's still the original asset. Controls are fine except fine aim, instead of moving the cursor around the screen like the original the reticle is static in the centre and the camera moves

Turning off Aim Lock sorts this out apparently
