Honestly the first few hours are a bit of a chore but keep going.

This is great news. Death Stranding is in my all time top 10 so highly recommend it to anyone tempted on Xbox.

My mistake then. I guess that shows how uninterested in achievements I am…

100 hours for only 0.1%. I don’t particularly like achievements anyway but these ones are just stupid.

I’m not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I’m a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.

I would love to see Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes again and have a similar service on Switch for GameCube games.

I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.

Wreckfest multiplayer is great. Getting in to 1st position makes me sweat just trying to survive the carnage! It normally ends badly but it’s so much fun.

There were many great racers around the Xbox 360 era and before. I feel like since then I can count on one hand the amount of good ones.

I think it just not as popular anymore but then also if they don’t make them we can’t play them!

Wreckfest, Circuit Superstars, Art of Rally, EA WRC are some excellent newer games to try.

Plex is good and the Plexamp app for music is excellent.

I’m not going to buy it (there was a time where I would though) but I do like all this kind of stuff from Nintendo.

is your PFP yellowboze?

Yes it is.

I can see why you felt that but all the characters in both games are so wonderful that to me it was the opposite feeling.

Psychonauts didn’t come to mind but it’s actually a really good suggestion.

Mass Effect series.

It’s easy to avoid the worst offenders. Also “live service” is a very broad term and covers a lot.

One aspect that I really don’t like is when games just seem to hang on too long with updates and/or DLC. Be proud to finish the game and move on to something new (looking at you The Long Dark…)

The question can be asked for most things in life really so just do both options. Generally I’m a “value for money” gamer now but If something catches my eye I will make an effort to support it.

Basically it’s nice to look at but completely useless.

Same.

I don’t play often but I check in every few months for an update or new mods.

There a quite a few favourites over the years.

• Colin McRae Rally 2.0
• Live for Speed
• Hydrothunder
• Metropolis Street Racer
• Forza Motorsport 4
• Burnout 2
• Blur
• Wreckfest
• Gran Turismo 2
• Wave Race Blue Storm
• F-Zero X
• GRIP (and Rollcage 1 & 2)
• TT Isle of Man
• Dirt Rally 1 & 2
• Circuit Superstars

I’m not sure how I feel about mid-gen upgrades.

I’m all for something like the PS2/PS3 slim or Xbox 360/One S but a PS4/5 pro and One X just don’t interest me.

I also kind of despise the whole smartphone upgrade path that is the norm nowadays so I really hope consoles don’t continue the same way.

They got me! I couldn’t resist for that price.
