Genuinely considering picking up an Xbox One S (All Digital Edition) to take advantage of Game Pass. Amazon currently have them going for £164.99, which seems like a reasonable price. Can anyone confirm that this isn’t an absolutely outrageous idea?

£164 for a console with 100 games seems like a steal to me

Here is a list of games currently on it https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-game-pass/games

Couldn’t figure out how to cancel my PS Now for another month, but I saw they’ve got HZD on there and my physical copy has been at my pal’s for almost a year so I might play it again

Really struggling to give a shit with Fallout 4, and went back to playing Witcher 3 side quests over Christmas. I think I’ve realised that strong characters are the thing that keeps me interested in a game. The titles I’ve given up on are those where the protagonist is just an avatar for the player so doesn’t have much of a personality. Fallout falls into this category for me so I don’t think I’ll stick with it despite the scope being amazing.

With that in mind does anyone have any recommendations for games that have really good characters/stories? Is… is Death Stranding one of these games?!

I mean you’ve started with literally two of the best games ever made…

#106

God of war was good character wise.

tried forbidden siren again but it’s too fucking nails and the combat is a joke. didn’t think they would actually make you rely on it too much but nope, i was wrong. might skip to the next game in the series and hope its improved.

It’s the best deal out there. I got one this time last year, and now I’ve got a backlog of games just from game pass.

I’ve only actually bought 2 games, both of them bundled with it

Tried to finish this multiple times but never could. Love the aesthetic though.

Edit: Nevermind, I’m talking about Blood Curse, think you’re talking about the original.

Edit 2: I don’t remember the original as much but I imagine it being really dated and not in good ways.

yep, the ps2 one. will give blood curse a go instead. it’s got a cool concept and it’s fun when it works but there’s just too many barriers to it being enjoyable to play. h2h combat is laughable.

#114

Haha, YES! I have. But I played G-Police with the early, not very good Analog controller prior to Dual Shock and WipEout 2097 with the Namco NeGcon for the first few days. Madness…

#115

Ah I’ve not started that yet!

#116

Was going to suggest Spider-man. It made me feel more for Peter Parker than any of the films ever did.

I really love the original’s atmosphere, and the fact that it’s a weird game in the real alienating, unique, beautifully ambiguous sense of the word. BUT yeah, the punishing difficulty absolutely ruined my attempt to play it as an adult.

I remember one level as a teenager: to complete one of the secondary objectives that you need to complete to progress with the game, you’re on a timer and there’s literally one way you can do everything you need to do within the limit. Nah, mate.

#118

I remember you really rating Spider-Man.

Shame I won’t have time for it before Cyberpunk and that Samurai one I read about in the Guardian today.

#119

They just added gta 5 if u haven’t played it

#120

Don’t understand why so many people had a problem with this. Easily the most playable FPS I’ve played on pretty much any platform.
