Yeah, there's a retail version. Just open Edge on your Xbox and type in tinyurl.com/mryset5w

Seems to be working flawlessly for me so far, although it's running off an ancient 32GB thumb drive so load times / performance might be able to be improved a bit I don't really know how any of this works I'm just gonna play Burnout 3 in 4K60 for the rest of my life.

I am disappointed that Victoria 3 got suddenly canceled from going on Gamepass.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Likewise! Given that CK3 is still on there after two years, I wouldn't be surprised if V3 gets added eventually, but I suspect the MS bucks from licensing didn't make up for the lost sales in the first few days and weeks. I reckon we'll see it when there's DLC for sale

Gosh Xbox is junk. Definitely regret copping at this point. Would like to sell but I’m so disgusted with the lack of games I’m temped to just run it over with a bulldozer or huck it off a bridge at this point. Pure junk.

yeah you can just turn the online off when you start the game. i think basically all it does is the bit where you can see the most popular choice that people made on any given day

It fixed itself which is a good thing because I am using the hell out of the online thing. I use it as a guide because I don't wanna look up to much of the game but the day system is still pretty confusing to me.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

I just got a promo link somewhere telling me that Gas Station Simulator is out on Xbox. It looked familiar, so I looked it up and... yup.

I'm a big fan of AOE2 but not super excited for this - I really don't see how you can play it properly on a console

Will see what happens I guess

There's a bunch of ported PC games that don't let you use them though which is incredibly annoying.

Too bad. I haven't played the second one since the time it originally came out, but I'm really enjoying the last installment. The AI seems to have been much improved, and it also looks very good.

It would be insane if the new Xbox AoE2 port would not allow you to use keyboard and mouse.

The AI in this AoE2 remaster has improved a lot since the original AoE2. It's able to put up a good fight without cheating/getting a resource gathering bonus.

Got myself an early Christmas present with my tax return in the form of a Series X from Microsoft's online store. I may have also spent more of said tax return on one of those shiny Lunar Shift controllers too. It is very pretty, and I like the rubber grips on the outside of the handles.

Now I just gotta wait for my XboxSeX to turn up in the mail in a few days so I can play games with it. :shepface: (I've got Game Pass Ultimate, and a shitload of X360 games ready and waiting to play on something that doesn't sound like a jet engine in takeoff)

edit: Also is the PDP Media Remote worth getting at all for BluRay's, DVD's, etc?

Interesting, good to know. Either way, I'm most definitely very interested in having an AoE on console. I'm sure they'll adapt the controls to work well with a controller, otherwise I might as well just stick to pc.

I actually just got this today myself. Combined with CEC it's a great way of using my TV from a single remote to run YouTube.

I'll give it a consider then! My PS5's my main streaming-service media machine, remote for it and all, but it doesn't like one or two of my older DVD's that my PS2 will happily play. So I'm just curious as to if the XBox's drive might fair any better with them (It's very much an this-only-affects-me use case, I know)

AoE4's also getting a big anniversary update as part of this event. I suspect they're not done with it, and are using AoE2 to dip their toes into the "can we make this work on a console without mandating KB+M" waters.

I'm kinda surprised they aren't going with AoE4 to console as its resource collection mechanics are much simpler and more streamlined compared to AoE2's, so might be OK with a controller (well as much as Starcraft 64 was).

Enjoy it! The XSX is incredibly fast, and very quiet. Going from an XB1S to this was already a huge difference. Coming from a 360 would probably give you whiplash.

Haven't used the remote at all.

Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition is the best of the series by far. Ended up being disappointed with Age of Empires IV, but wasn't really that surprised either.

Now you will have two pieces of expensive plastic with no games op. In all serious I’m just about as disappointed as can be with Xbox.

Fired up Dead Space because of the Gamepass perk that gave you a bunch of DLC. It's weird seeing my old save file from like a decade ago on the series X.

I should have probably played it on PC instead, but I'm already at chapter 5 so I'll just keep doing my one gun playthrough.
