It's still the best controller with paddles on the market unfortunately. Best buying one with a long warranty off Amazon.
You can get the core version and just move your paddles over to it.

It's a real shame that the build quality on those things is so dodgy for such an expensive controller. They feel really hefty and are really good to use, but I'll be buggered if I'm paying over £100 for a product so many people have problems with.
I bought some spare parts for my current one. I'll have one more go at fixing it. It's not been as easy I thought trying to fix this thing.
Good news for those who didn't play Firewatch before it left Game Pass in December 2022 - it is back! Gris also returns after leaving in January 2021 but makes its console debut - last time was only available on PC as hadn't been released on Xbox platforms then.
Should I pre-order the pre-load in case it sells out on release?
Getting exciting now. Not looked forward to a game this much since GOW:R.
Preparing loved ones to expect to see less of me for a while! Clear that (already empty) social calendar.
For some reason Xbox aren't publicising the link through their Wire twitter account so here it is: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/08/17/xbox-360-store-will-close-july-2024/
Never quite got into it myself, but it's usually available in a sale for a few quid.
Not related: into the third act of Pentiment, man this game is really good!
Really wish Ninja Theory would get a move on with Hellblade 2. Downloaded the first one yesterday, passing time till Starfield and am now playing it through for maybe the 5th time and it’s every bit as gripping as my first play through.
Genuinely one of my favourite games ever. So absorbing, great protagonist and graphically brilliant for the previous gen.

Get them into gaming from the off.
It solves a lot of time/ bonding problems!
Looks like there are some official Series X console wraps coming out if that is your sort of thing.

I like the sound of the camo ones but would like to see what they look like first
They say you can't polish a turd but it seems you can wrap one.
I’ve never understood an adult wrapping a console
They are not for me, but if somebody else gets joy out of them I'm happy for them.
AOE4 out today on xbox/gamepass
wow such space much field
I've played it on pc, but I might see how it runs on console.
Oh wow brilliant thanks for the tip - will download in a min
Humankind also out today which is a bit of a surprise.
Wow that's brilliant
AOE4 is brilliant. Had a rocky launch but it’s become a super stable, solid rts since.
How do you find time to play games?! I’ve played about 2 hours in the last 9 months
98 achievements worth a total of 1,000 gamerscore for anyone interested: https://www.trueachievements.com/n54798/humankind-xbox-achievements
I haven’t played AOE since baba came alongHow do you find time to play games?! I’ve played about 2 hours in the last 9 months
just impossible to get uninterrupted time. And I usually play with the lads get to play Baldurs Gate 3 when the parents or family are over to help us mind him. Also have it running well on the steam deck.
Also helps I’m still off work. I doubt I’ll get any time really once I’m back. Overall though I play nowhere near as much as I used to. I’d have probably sunk 70-80 hours into BG3 by now!
Ah man, it’s not that I miss having the time to play - it’s that I miss actually wanting to play in any of the time I do get. I used to love sinking the hours into a game and getting really invested in it but now when it’s grabbing an hour or two here or there I find I just can’t be arsed with it.I haven’t played AOE since baba came along

Yeah I hear you! There are a few games I was playing before he was born that I’ve completely given up on because they weren’t anything special so I don’t feel like they’re worth the now limited time I have, especially when I’m exhausted!
Baldurs Gate 3 is special though and the only one I legit look forward to whenever I can get to it, it’s just wonderful.
I miss AoE cause I played it with close friends who live a good bit away now and it was nice to jump on with them. 2 of us just had babies so I feel bad for the other 2 who have basically gone from 3-4 nights a week playing to 0 now cause of us
Good news
Finished Pentiment, that was really good.
Just started Sea of Stars, and that's pretty good so far (2 hours in). Music is great!

What's the moonerang like? I'm planning on playing it after AC Revelations but I've got shit timing so not looking forward to the bouncy trophy/achievement.
