Video Games

Also didn't realise Lawn Mowing Simulator is now up on GP, what a treat...

Have also bought on @CYOA 's insistence, going to be furious if it sucks.

so i'm getting a pc capable of playing games in a few weeks for the first time in about 15 years.

should i prioritise a decent controller over a gaming kb/mouse? if so which one?

What time are we playing tonight?

90% of games I find are better with K/M - only thing i dont use them for are some platformers / indie games / driving in GTA. Get the Xbox for windows controller

What games do you play multiplayer?
Controller aim assist is very strong in some games but point & click shooting also has its advantages.

I know next to nothing about mice & keyboards but I've got a controller from "Aim Controllers" in the EU & it's very good (mostly because it's a modded Sony controller rather than being completely bespoke).

Xbox controllers are the obvious ones. Decent controllers and work nicely with Windows (you mean need a bluetooth USB dongle).

Soon after 7!

Tools Up is down to around £3-4 on Switch, basically Overcooked meets house renovations. Looks great for some local co-op.

Well I had a smashing evening playing Hell Let Loose with @CYOA and @chrisbmx116 really good team play!

@JB I know you were interested, it was good for the £16 I paid

no crossplay between consoles and PC on HLL is a bit of a shiter

It's so hardcore though, I feel console gamers who get munched

I told myself I wasn't going to, but I've ended up starting a new Skyrim save on PS5 when I saw I could download it for free as I had it on PS4. Tenth year of playing this game, blimey.

+1. Very pleasant eve, very intense, would do again.

I haven't had this much fun playing a game in ages and it's not even a proper game. Finally got a PS5 last week and I love it.

I’ve bought a switch (lite) and first two games I got are Civilization and The Witcher 3. Don’t really like either of them, contemplating sending it back. Any ideas for games to keep me on board the switch train? Would love something like Colin McRae 3 and contemplating Pro Skater 1+2, but thirty quid…

Depends what your preference is, but something out of the following should keep your interest:

Breath of the Wild
Mario Odyssey
Stardew Valley
Two Point Hospital
Mario x Rabbids
Burnout Paradise
Enter the Gungeon
Spelunky (2)
Bioshock Trilogy
Alien Isolation (amazing port on Switch btw)
Mark of the Ninja
Snake Pass
GTA Trilogy (maybe wait for a few more patches on this one, it's playable, but nowhere near the level of polish it should be)

Also I haven't played it, but I think the WRC games on Switch have a relatively decent reputation. Not sure how THPS is these days, but it certainly looked rough enough on launch to dissuade me from picking it up.

Dark Souls
Skyrim
Mario Kart

Plus what mmccarthy said.

Did the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate hack this morning, stacked up till October 2023 for £100. Seems absolutely mental that they can't/don't do much about it...

Does anyone know if this still works?

I have an xbox one x thats virtually untouched. Barely used it since buying. Annoyingly I noticed the xbox live sub auto renewed a couple months ago.

My daughter is starting to show a bit of interest in gaming so thought I'd fire up the xbox.

Any one done this hack recently?

This article says so

Thanks, I found that very article and got it sorted.

I also bought a couple of 12 month xbox live gold subscriptions first from cdkeys.com

But I bought the Turkey region ones for £26 each versus £39 for EU! I used a VPN to redeem the codes then switched the VPN off and activated the £1 Game Pass.

The wording of the Game Pass thing was a bit confusing as it sounded like I was going to be billed the £10.99 after the first month was up. But my subscription is now for Game Pass Ultimate and it expires in November 2024 with the next scheduled billing date being £10.99 in November 2024.

Happy days

.

So Xbox game pass seems not too bad for a quid.
Loads of games on it my daughter is into.
So I need another controller… anyone got one they can sell before I buy new? Also looking for a PS4 controller.

On a separate note, does anyone have one of those handheld retroid things from a few pages back?
Are the games basically pirated and free to download?

Tempted to take a punt on one.
