You can rule Twitter for a couple of days if you time it well.

Taking an elevator inside a club to the 2nd floor is my favourite one

It's weird because if you take the stairs there is no loading screen.

It isnt the revolution i wanted it to be, but ive been having a good time with it, despite the issues.

On the final mission in Gears Tactics at the moment. It does the thing where the final boss is like 5x harder than the entire rest of the game.

Elden Ring is my only physical game, and I bought it mostly to test my disc drive -- it was also on sale for $40 and it's the one game I didn't mind double-dipping for (have it on PS5 too). Besides that I only buy physical games on the Switch.

There are definitely some things that could make Starfield more tolerable to play, but the actual main thing that's wrong with it (no hand-crafted world whatsoever when you step six inches outside a main city) is not something they can fix in a patch or update.

Shammypants: May 25, 2004; Let me tell you about true luxury.

You can rent games at the library, that's how I didn't get scammed out of money for dogshit like Mario Golf/Tennis and Watchdogs legion. Physical media for sharing content with friends and getting super good deals owns

Series S, so no physical games.

Also do not care in the slightest about (if it is true) xbox going multiplatform. I doubt it will be all games, doubt it will be day 1, and still have gamepass. So there is incentive there to stay on xbox. They have been messaging trying to branch out to other platforms for literally years and have put games like Ori on other platforms already..

Imagine having an actual balanced take on tyool 2024 where such things generate no mindshare!!

Yah I donated a ton of 360 games to the library, it rules. I don�t have any physical media games to donate anymore which kinda sucks!!

Does GameStop still sell off last-gen used games for $1 or is that a thing of the past? About half my 360 library was from around 2014-2016 when they were offloading nearly every 360 game for $1-$5. Worked out great with BC coming out after

That�s a really good idea! The only physical game I�ve bought from Xbox/sony in the past 10 years is FFXV cause it was 15 bux.

My last physical game was release day GTA V for the 360, though I entirely skipped the Bone Generation

It�s pretty cool and when I go to the library I can check in on my old copy of Viva Pi�ata and such

Also the Burger King games, like Sneak King.

Yeah I'd like to know how many physical games people here have bough "recently".

Looking at my shelf, I've gotten like five physical Xbox games over the last couple of years. At least half were from getting gift cards for EB Games etc. from relatives for Xmas, and the other half were from rummaging around the pre-owned bins while I was there.
