Tbh I haven't felt the need to go back since I started x defiant.

A few things stand out. Football back when it was good😉 David Platt against Belgium in the 118th minute in 1990. Dennis Taylor beating Steve Davis in the 85 world snooker final, staying up to see the conclusion on the last black. More recently it has to be bike racing ,Rossi's 100th win at Assen But the one that will always stand out is being in the stand at Siberia at Phillip island, I never thought I'd get to Australia so to be there back in 2016 two months after my grandad had passed away and actually seeing a British winner too in Cal Crutchlow what a great memory.

Me and my mates watched that Germany 1 England 5 in a pub in Scotland. Was hilarious. The jocks had played earlier that day and got knocked out of contention by The Dog &Duck (might have been Isreal thinking about it) but the jocks stuck around to watch England get thrashed. By half time, the pub was empty apart from 6 drunk Englishmen

The online PVE mode with progression has been a game changer for me. I'm building my Hideout, which I never used to focus on, and already have my heating, lighting and a shooting range set up. Because of random deaths I used to not bother collecting the junk required and just focused on high end items to get better weapons. But no more cheaters or ppl hiding in bushes means I'm free to play the game as intended. The scavs aren't too tricky to deal with, although they can do you with superior numbers but the faction AIs are a lot tougher and i try to only engage them when i really need to. I'm level 8 and my soft skills are developing nicely. The more you do stuff in Tarkov the better and quicker your character gets. I've also started to do the missions but just focusing on those in the Ground Zero and Customs maps.

It's all good, they're preparing new ways to needlessly and annoyingly kill you via the environment from what i understand, plus trench foot I believe. But yeah there's other maps available to play for free so I hope they don't really charge 30 quid, I bought the original game for 15 sovs on day one lol

I enjoyed CoD best on Xbox 360 so it'll be like returning to an old friend 🤪

Confirmed for Game Pass day one. This may seem a good deal initially for the consumer but the loss of retail sales could see more aggressive monetisation in play down the line. Also people likely aren't going to keep rolling monthly subscriptions just to play this long term. It may get an early spike at the crippling detriment of other games on the pass but it will never be as viable as it would be just plain selling the game. They could sell 5m copies through their store at $70 a pop making a tidy $350m gross on digital alone or they could have 8m people playing via the pass and if they game gets a cut of $2 per install then it'll net just $16m. The volume of users will also detract from other games and cut-potential so they will throw their other products available on the pass under the bus for a period. Definitely one last throw of the dice of desperation for Microsoft and a borderline nuclear option for the pass. Either way, it's not going to make the revenues needed to claw back their disastrous takeover and the pass isn't going to get anywhere near the quantity of players needed to justify its existence from a business and conceptual standpoint. It's a lose lose situation for MS and their partners alike but it could be a short term win for a minority who just want to play the game for a few weeks or experience the campaign.
