Even smart people do dumb

Having only two charts is crazy. Nintendo should have a lot more charts on Switch eshop.

Out of stock? This is a worse failure than PS5/XSX going out of stock

What are the best gaming chair options for folk living in UK?

@COVIDberry That's ancient history now. Seriously all has improved for better at Microsoft and Xbox. They're like completely different companies now and they are deeply gamer focused now.

Treat yourself in 2021 to an Xbox Series X with Game Pass Ultimate and I guarantee you won't regret it. You'll love it.

@abdias Those reviews you cite are old and out of date as Sea of Thieves has been continuously developed and improved a huge amount. As a result it won Best Ongoing Game at the 2019 PC Gamer Awards. That's why Sea of Thieves has a thriving community today. Rare made the game amazing, it took time beyond launch but they did it.

@abdias Rare are doing amazing things with Sea of Thieves on Xbox so they're doing very well and very successfully thank you.

@COVIDberry You've not been paying attention to Xbox so I guess you're not an Xbox gamer. I've been gaming on Xbox since 2017 and I have been consistently impressed at how Phil Spencer has completely reshaped reformed and redesigned Xbox the company. It isn't the same company at all that it was in 2013. Game studios acquired by Xbox in the new era have praised the way Xbox helps them be more creative and take more risks and build better games for gamers. That's happened since Phil Spencer took over and was elevated to the Microsoft board giving him complete independent control of Xbox. Phil has been a genuine velvet revolution at Xbox. This is something to celebrate and it's good for gamers everywhere on every platform. Phil doesn't fight console wars and he thinks such macho talk is destructive for the industry, for example it drives away female gamers. That's why for example you have Ori and Cuphead on Switch. This is a good thing. It makes the gaming world much better.

@COVIDberry Bethesda will be Microsoft owned next year. So it won't be the same company any more. Phil Spencer will stop Bethesda being jerks as that isn't the brand image he's crafting for Game Pass and Xbox and Xcloud.

@Retro_Player_77

I love Cyberpunk 2077. It plays beautifully on my Xbox 1X. It's a fascinating and fantastic game.

But seriously, moisturising eye drops, even the cheap ones, are fantastic. Go ahead spoil your eyes when they get even slightly dry and they'll love you for it.

Don't hold it in. Pee in a bottle.

A really lovely list. I hope you make this type of article a regular feature.

@westman98 Source please

@JaxonH That's wishful thinking. Maybe you're rich and can afford all the games you want how you want. Hard reality is a lot of people in these increasingly financially difficult times will pick 'free' game pass games over expensive nintendo games when they own both consoles.

I've hated gyro aiming on every game I tried it on Switch. Maybe I had the sensitivity set too high I don't know but it moved violently and made me feel dizzy and sick. So gyro isn't for me and I can't be alone in that.
Regarding rumble, I've noticed xbox really dramatically improving its use of impulse rumble in games recently. It's incredible on the amazing new Tetris game that's on Game Pass.

@Bustacap So why is DQ doing so well on Xbox?

Game Pass means game over on Switch if you have an Xbox or PC at least for Doom Eternal. GP is extraordinary.

Phil Spencer IS Santa.

Thanks you lovely people at NL and Be.!! ❤️😘😘❤️

@Bustacap It might be that price on other platforms #because# of Game Pass. Game Pass has over 15 million subscribers and they all just got to play DQ for 'free'. Unsurprisingly it's currently the most popular GP game. Game Pass is a behemoth, a juggernaut. 15 million. All at once.

I'm just a big kid... It's probably just my ADHD and autism though...

The price reduction may be due to Dragon Quest XI S appearing on Xbox Game Pass which not only makes it 'free' to play for a while for those subscribers but it also gives subscribers a discount on buying the game.

So, thanks Microsoft?

Microsoft game price competition with Nintendo making Nintendo games more affordable is a trend I'd love to see.

Amazed Just Dance is doing so well.

@FatHedgehog That has physical release so it doesn't qualify.

@rockodoodle Credit to you for your refreshing honesty. We all forget sometimes. Happy gaming!

@JayJ Yes. She's serious about Animal Crossing. She's a gamer.

@HugoRadio Thanks for the Pure Pool recommend.

@rockodoodle But it had or will have a retail physical release which means it can't be incuded.

I'm totally utterly unopposed to seeing more of the cheerful impish loveliness that is Gal Gadot.

Brie Larson is a gamer. She's a massive fan of Animal Crossing. She earned her spot.

@Stocksy I literally can't think of one example of a racist joke against white Brits that was on TV or movies.

@HeyItsFlapjack I'm sincerely sorry you had that experience. I would have been your friend at school.

If Forza Horizon sets a game in Japan would it sell Xboxes?

Control is now on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox and on Xbox Game Pass for Android. So you can even play it on a decent phone or tablet with Xbox controller now if your wifi is decent. Happy gaming! 🙂

@nimnio Yes it sounds marmite!

Jumanji is such a waste of a great franchise 😪

@kingbk Windows Central gave it a 90 and Eurogamer gave it Recommended grade.

@nimnio That's still 50% better!!

Pant peeingly exciting if it means claymation Yorkshire set games. Super exciting!

Read review of the PC version and I just knew this was going to be dire on Switch as a straight port. It's really a PC game.

@JohnnyC Excellent! I'm happy when people enjoy gaming. At its best gaming is incredibly wholesome.

@JohnnyC I'm glad you're happy with it, enjoy playing it on your PS5 for many years to come.

@boxyguy You guessed wrong. Does that make you condescending about me?!

Speedrunners and all the other hobbyists you mention are completely different because they're not stuck. They're moving within their hobby and they're constantly achieving new milestones. That's healthy and admirable.

Calling actual illness as illness isn't a jab. It's a description of reality.

@JohnnyC That's still not a full game.

@TheFullAndy Yeah OLED prices are still kind of crazy. I can see some people switching from LED TV to large tablets with Super Amoled 120 herz screens if OLED TVs don't get reasonable prices next year. Xcloud on such a tablet with good WiFi and speakers sounds a boss set up and yet is space saving. Either way, long may your plasma happily glow!

It sounds truly depressing to use a very large part of your life for so little with nothing to show for it. It's genuinely worrying and concerning. Happiness isn't the sole arbiter of whether someone is healthy or not. For example cocaine can make someone extremely happy yet extremely unhealthy. I hope he gets the funds or contacts for meds and psychological/psychiatric help he clearly needs to move beyond this. Part of illness can be not recognising that one is unwell. At times like that it can be genuinely helpful for others to give an external perspective and sincerely say hey dude you're not well please please get medical help for yourself because we want you to be well. That isn't being patronising, that's being a human being who cares about the wellbeing of fellow humans.

@TheFullAndy I've heard great things about plasma but never seen it. I'm glad it fully meets your present needs. I think as incomes declined following 2008 people opted for LCD TVs in numbers that made plasma TV production economically unviable for TV manufacturers. Still innovation continues and I'm excited at what happens next in TVs. I think the next big trend in TVs, in a couple of years, will be 8K short throw laser projectors.

@JohnnyC Miles Morales should have been a DLC.

@TheFullAndy That's your choice to wait. Lack of big name exclusives didn't stop either of the new consoles selling out of stock. We're in the odd situation where neither console has launched with a must have game. Demon's Souls is nice but hasn't sold well. Astro's Playroom is technically impressive but nobody's buying the console solely in order to play it.

I'm waiting on buying the consoles for different reasons. First, I like game themed console shells and all the new consoles have boring shells. Second, all the consoles have new product problems and bugs and I'm happy to wait for those to be fixed. Third, there doesn't exist yet a TV that can show off the consoles in all their graphical and aural splendour. Even the mighty LG CX that is almost perfect doesn't show blacks properly when VRR is used which is bad for back compact games. The TV market has been slow and half hearted to adapt to the new consoles and the pandemic probably made that worse. But perfect TVs will probably be out in Spring or Summer, giving us a choice of incredible sets that are better value. Plenty to look forward to!

On IGN Italia the reviewer there has practiced real fitness boxing in a gym for years. She rated this game as an excellent alternative to real fitness boxing and she gave it a score of 7.5/10. She cautioned that if you really train hard with it set to a single type of punch, you can injure yourself! So the workouts are serious intensity. She recommended alternating this game with Ring Fit simply to avoid injury. Impressive!

Surely if using this game makes you lose a significant percentage of body fat it's a 10/10 game that is worth its asking price?
