I have the Razer Blackshark V2X. Apparently the mic is better than the v2 though the V2 has better speakers. I also recommend these, I use them for WoW. My set came bundled with a code for 7.1 surround, I paid a few dollars more & purchased the THX software from the Razer online store, which is better than the base 7.1 software. |

@ShiftyGeezer Don't you be dissin' the Jaguar. :) Loved the console, no regrets. |
|
@atrimus I'd agree but the new console generation started 2005 and Sony were a year late and this generation ended 2013 with the new machine launches look at the sales from 2005 to 2013, and go from there. I don't think Sony get to have a do over because they had production issues with the PS3. I still think we the players were let down badly with the xBox One/ PS4 generation. Very happy with the new xbox, and if I could actually buy a PS5 I am sure I would be happy with that. |
|
@atrimus May 2017 was when the PS3 finally stopped production, MS announced EOL for the 360 in May 2016. An extra year past the 360 EOL date. Sony was very arrogant at the time of the PS3 launch saying things like "The next generation starts when we say so." The same attitude bit MS at the launch of the xBox One. |
|
@fabio78 People do forget that Sony didn't stop selling PS3s until well into PS4 era and waited until they sold more than MS to kill the product. |
|
@Mr.Spo You have my sympathy. I still have enough Nintendo cartridges to make it worthwhile. Also I can pick up games for systems I never purchased. |
|
@Mr.Spo I was going to buy one then decided the Analogue portable would be a better idea. |
|
@fabio78 Loved Minish Cap. |
|
@George-Roper I understand where you are coming from, I took the viewpoint that I only need to buy 1 or 2 games a year from Nintendo and you know they will be good. |
|
@MenageZero When Apple launched the App store and said they were going to take 30% a lot of developers were happy as publishers and other app stores took 70% and gave the dev 30% |
|
@jamster126 If I recall correctly, they only announced early as fans of ES were badgering them at every opportunity for a release date. So they said no ES until after Starfield and released the tiniest bit of video to keep them happy that the project was being worked on. |
|
@themightyant I feel that Division 2 could be a really good single or multiplayer game if it doubled the amount of content to get to the end game then dropped the end game, people would have a good time and be done. |
|
@Foolish_Monkey Glad to help |
| I loved playing where’s my water, excited for this. |
|
@Naetharu EB Games in Australia do this, 7-10 days to return a game. Just don’t activate DLC codes to refund or replace. It is one of the reasons I prefer to buy from them |
|
@BigOrkWaaagh Yes there is and it says add up to 4 friends to play co op. Australian launch is 22 June. |
|
@Malek86 I have played GTA5 on 360, PS4 and PC, the PC version was best as it run at 60fps and the console versions 30fps. This made a big difference early on in the game, where Franklin has to climb on the boat whilst Michael shoots. I used a controller in every game and the extra frame rate made it much easier to control both people at the same time. Edit for spelling. |
|
@Pompa I put Watchdogs 3 aside with its game save bug and have not gone back to it yet. Soon I think , just not keen to go through it again. Edit. Mistakes can happen the devs true measure will be seen in how they handle this. |
|
@Pompa I was going to buy it today. Too bad, so sad. I will play something else. |
|
Perhaps they can do a 6 month collaboration with Peter Molydeaux. https://twitter.com/petermolydeux?lang=en |
|
@spamdangled That ship has sailed, if you say anything bad about the Party in forums expect to be perma banned. |
|
@StingingVelvet In the last year PC video cards have improved so much with the 20xx and now 30xx series that it probably helped cut PC optimisation time too. Too bad no one can get those cards. |
|
@FASELI , @joewright12 Bungie said the company would not have survived to launch Halo had MS not bought them. We don’t owe them thanks, our purchase of their products is thanks enough. |
|
@2much Reminds me of a story about a fellow that needed help to get his Red Faction DOS games running on a mac he'd just bought, and was telling me what a fan he was. I said "Getting ready for the new release?" he was what? and I loaded the page for Red Faction Guerrilla, he was so excited he rushed off to buy a console to play and order the game forgetting all about his DOS stuff. Made his day. |
|
Ok, I’ll activate this. The Gamecube 3D worms was fun too, spent hours trashing my friends. The pinnacle for me has always been Worms: Armageddon. |
|
I want to be able to place an order for a PS5, local EB Games are not accepting orders right now, I'd be happy if they said we'll take your $50 as a placeholder as long as you understand it could be March. I did manage to get an Xbox series X so I don't need two new consoles in the one week. |
|
@martynjames DDOS, basically flood your address with enough data and you will get booted offline. If this happens to you you may be able to escape by rebooting your modem, as long as your ISP doesn't give you a static IP address. The next and probably best option that you probably only need if you are a streamer is to have a VPN service and have it applied at the modem level so anything else uses it. This way anybody up to stuff hit your hosting provider and if they are decent will have a bunch of mitigation strategies in place. edited for a spelling mistake. |
|
@udat me too, I was in a cafe with an old friend, grabbing a burger and they had a Moon Patrol cocktail machine so we played. We had troubles jumping holes and shooting things at the same time. We both used to go from level A to somewhere in the AA levels |
|
@udat I played Antiriad on the C64 I remember having a great time with it. |
|
@StooMonster can you buy one of each, then return one a day later for something else. I am guessing my Dolby Atmos headset from my X1X will work on the Series X but no real idea until the 10th. |
|
@septimus I think MS have looked after us quite well, they did say when the xBox one was released that it will be the last console generation with games being backward and forward compatible across generations of machines. Here we are with xBox series X, games running at 120hz where the xBox one had issues locking to 30hz. If you had a PC with a 3080/90 video card you wouldn't be asking where are my exclusive games for this video card, every thing you currently own just gets better. I have a bunch of new games to play on launch, new to me anyway, so excited. I have ordered Watchdogs and Cyberpunk, I found copies of Blacksad, Blackguards 2, Mafia Trilogy, never played the first one, I will have Outer Worlds, GTA V, and Supraland on game pass. Going to load up Skyrim for its 9th anniversary, I'll have Dragon Knight Saga, Dragon Age Origins, Morrowind and Oblivion on back compatibility. Next year there are three World of Darkness Games, two werewolf games & Vampire the Masquerade, and last but not finally Baldurs' Gate 3. Don't know where I am going to find the time. |
|
@Big-Boss Remember when Bayonetta 2 was announced? People were sending death threats to the devs because of platform exclusivity. The answer their response was, Bayonetta is a failed franchise it did not sell enough, there would not be a sequel if it were not for Nintendo. This is a perfectly fine reason for exclusivity. |
|
@Lin Sony recently allowed EA Pass on PlayStation and I had been subscribed to that for 3 years on my xBox, all my friends have PS4s and so all my multiplayer games were for it, if EA pass had come to PS4 earlier I would have changed my sub to it. The only way Sony will allow MS game pass as anything other than a web streaming service is if they have an absolutely terrible 3 or 4 years and I don’t see that happening, or they make a cross license deal with PS Now. Is PS Now worth a Zenimax? |
|
@kaspar737 I wouldn’t argue, the big difference is this time I choose my own launch titles. I decided to get Watchdogs first and finish Odyssey before purchasing Valhalla. The xbox launch title Dead Rising 3 was fantastic, not normally my cup of tea, a friend convinced me to play. Best zombie crafting fun. |
|
@Faultline Absolute truth. I think the closest I get to that these days are some Nintendo games which give me, euphoria is too strong a word, a pure joy when playing. |
|
@Kadare I have an xbox on order and am more excited for this launch than the previous. I have already traded in my x1x towards it and have started picking up titles to play and have also upgraded my live pass to gold ultimate. I have so far picked up Mafia trilogy, Blacksad , ordered Cyberpunk and am deciding whether to get assassins creed and or watchdogs 3. |
|
@StooMonster I had combat and adventure. Good times. |
|
@_TheDarkSide_ Add me to the list for Ryse and the Order, I really want a sequel to Order and that looks like it will never happen. I had an epiphany recently that I am a AA gamer some of the quirky titles just seem to be for me, Nordic are gods amongst mushrooms at the moment for giving me Saint's Row, and Darksiders and many more of course. |

@Bender-B-Rodriguez I don't know that your opinion is unpopular, there is another issue for phones and that is the carriers allowing access to their networks, it was quite a big deal at the time for Apple to install its own software updates and we consumers not be left at their mercy like we were with Nokias, like my N95 or N8 and so on. If this proposal gets up and causes software issues that affect the carriers they will turn off the tap and we will go back to the dark ages of telephony again. My reasoning for this comment is the app store process has already shown people cannot be trusted, specifically I am thinking of a DOS game that was ported to IOS that was actually a full blown DOS operating system. |
| That makes me happy, I was enjoying it but got distracted by other shinies so will start again and give it a go. |
|
@Machetazo I would hope he is talking about Burnout Takedown, or Burnout Revenge. Burnout Takedown had the best sound track, I would leave the disc in the PS2 and it would play the tracks in order. |
|
@TotalMaverick I would buy it. Until then you have the very special edition. https://youtu.be/BQl3T0uD5Aw |
|
@_TheDarkSide_ Watching it may add to your enjoyment as the gag origins become more obvious. That was a surprise to me as well, I guess, how many of us would know about some bad 50s movie? |
| Why is anyone surprised someone called Dr Disrespect is controversial? Surely that is the point, watch his stream to see what train wreck is happening this week. |
|
@SomethingOriginal Absolutely, Microsoft had something special there. Pity it did not work out. |
|
@SevenOutOfTen !00% Agree, I used to leave the disc in the console and listen to the absolutely amazing soundtrack. |
