Bugfixes are never rediculous. @Grumblevolcano It's better they're fixed if they have problems. What's weird is that they scheduled a bugfix for November? You'd think they'd want to get to it sooner. What, did the only guy who knows Halo 5's code get a temp job or something?
Anyone here play Elite Dangerous? I'm thinking of getting it but am curious to know people's opinions. So far I think it looks incredible but I'm not sure if I have enough time to sink into it!
^I've had that bookmarked for over a year. So far, they haven't really touched the Xbox originals library, but they've been steadily working their way through the Xbox 360's library.
The crazy season has already begun for Microsoft, given that Destiny 2 is coming out tomorrow.
In the UK, you can buy an Xbox One S (500GB) that includes a digital code for Forza Horizon 3, as well as the trio of Dishonoured 2, DOOM, Fallout 4 and a new physical copy of Destiny 2 from GAME for £199!
In America, you can buy an Xbox One S (500GB) that includes a digital code for Forza Horizon 3 and gives you a choice of two games out of nine to choose from - Battlefield 1, Destiny 2, For Honour, Gears of War 4, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Halo Wars 2, Madden NFL 18, Prey and Watch Dogs 2 - on the Microsoft Store for $249.
p.s. In certain parts of Europe, you can buy a standalone Xbox One S for €179 or pay another €20 with Destiny 2.
@Octane I was only advertising those deals so that I can claim my once-yearly cheque from Microsoft.
Personally speaking, I can only see myself with my PlayStation 4 until next year and beyond however, even if I felt compelled to buy another console, I am 99.9% sure that it would be the Switch.
I enjoyed the Xbox 360 and Wii combination last generation, or at least for their first four years, whereas you don’t miss out on anything this generation if you choose a PlayStation 4 and a Switch, with the exception of the usual trio of Forza, Gears and Halo, which I have long lost any enthusiasm for.
Just helping out for those who are um’ing and ah’ing over buying an Xbox One S, is all.
The launch Xbox One was disappointing but Xbox One S is a great machine with a brilliant library of games (first and third-party). The price and the bundles are amazing value. You get lots of interesting deals and sales on the store and optionally Gold, Game Pass, EA Access... You can literally have hundreds of games if you subscribe and you can opt in and out whenever you want.
All multiplatform games are released on Xbox One which is a plus. I still play Wii U and New 3DS but I am totally satisfied with my Xbox One and recommend it very much. Besides, if you love Rare like I do, Rare Replay is a must-have.
@GrailUK No, but that feature is coming. However, just like with their Xbox 360 BC programme, it'll probably take a while before all games work, or a significant amount of them. It's basically like VC on Nintendo consoles, every now and then a new batch of compatible games get added, except it's a lot faster than VC, and much less of a slow trickle.
About the "it doesn't have any must-have" brainless repetition, it has as many as PS4 or Switch, just different ones. Some people like Uncharted/Wipeout, some people like Halo/Forza/Gears/Rare, some people like Mario/Zelda... Some people like nothing. Some people like all.
Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 3 are both must-have in my book. Forza Horizon 3 is the best racing game I've ever played. Sea of Thieves looks awesome.
EDIT: Rare Replay is a must-have for any gamer that calls himself a gamer.
@GrailUK Xbox 360 games, original Xbox games not yet, but coming soon. You insert the disc and the console downloads the game for free. You can also buy it digital on the store.
