Should have got a Rift! VR is da future!

[Late]

Should've gotten a baseball bat and your address.




Nobody's interested in VR!

Frustratingly, the bundle I got yesterday at game is note available at Currys but with an extra game thrown in and a tenner knocked off the price.
Ah well. Cest la vie. (Doubt Currys would've let me trade in my old console, so it's probably not much different in the long run)

[harv]

Wouldn't have done you any good, I'm at my Mum's and took my PC and Rift with me.

You can tell it's a bit behind as it says I've got about 97k gamerscore, but I finally passed 100k yesterday 😎
("Refunct" is about £2, fun/relaxing and you'll have 800-1000 GS in less than an hour, which tipped me over the 100k mark).

Congrats fella, feels good to get over the first 100k - I purposely stayed on 100k for about 2 weeks lol.. long old slog to get to 200k though - not too long for me to go.

I take it the "hours played" only takes into account the amount of time the xbox has been on - well that's my excuse to spending a whole month (from 10 months) playing xbox lol.

I've spent over 500 hours playing Elite Dangerous in VR so far I think plus 553 hours playing it 'flat' on Steam lol

Oculus are adding an hours played feature to Oculus Home soon so I'll find out how much time I've spent in VR since I got my Rift on 21st October. It's not going to be pretty lol

Guess again.
I think my Xbox is on about 18-20 hours a day, on average, and my profile is auto-logged in - so it'd be around 6,000-7,000 hours if it counted all the time it's turned on.

Great to see Kodi officially available on the xb1, from today.
It's an alpha build and still needs some work, but it's there and it apparently works.

I've had a quick play around with it and of the three add-ons I tried only one of them worked (Cerebro worked, but Neptune and Covenant didn't). I found and pressed play on a couple of films and they seemed to be working right but I haven't tried actually watching one in full to check stability.

Loads of decent deals on at the moment..  just bought 4 games for about £40 all in:
Dead Island : Riptide, Prison Architect, Diablo 3 and Forza 7.

Also saw that Duke Nukem 3D Anniversary was reduced to about a fiver - I must of bought that game on 3 or 4 different consoles already - do I really want to play it again?  Well, it is fucking awesome.. and there is an extra episode... so I might have that by tonight lol.

Edit:
Just bought Duke Nukem, Deus Ex Mankind Divided and Walking Dead Season 3 for £22ish - must stop looking at this sale now lol.

[jman]

Out of the ones I bought so far:

Forza 7 - same old Forza as always - great for a while, then gets a bit boring - then gets mind-numbingly boring.  Theres about a million cars to unlock - and that's no lie.
Prison Architect - seems too fiddly for a console game - I did think that when I bought it - played it for a bit and wasn't too impressed.
Duke Nukem 3D Anniversary - already 100%'ed it.. glad I bought it actually, loved playing through it again and the new chapter was pretty good
Walking Dead Season 3 - already 100%'ed it.. probably the weakest season of the 3 though.. just thought the storyline was a bit pants, being a zombie game, they didn't seem to feature too much.
Diablo 3 - I've never played a Diablo game before - I started a co-op game with a buddy who is in the same boat - we both really enjoyed geeking out to the Warcraft-esque feel - looking forward to playing some more.


Oh.. and I noticed Zombi is available to download on GWG this month.. haha.. now I can see how shit this seminal Wii game is that harv was banging on about for ages lol.

[harv]

Well for starters you're not going to get the same amount of stress and tension playing the game without a screen on your controller. And if that wasn't enough to spoil the game as a survival horror game Ubisoft decided to patch the difficulty out of the game 6 months after it launched on the Wii U.

It WAS a great game but Ubisoft ruined it.

VR horror games aside, ZombiU was the scariest survival horror game that I'd played for YEARS. Particularly when you played it with crosshairs and aim assist turned off. The nursery scene in particular was VERY intense.

[Late]

I wouldn't even bother downloading it, mate. Awful game.

[jman]

lol.. its already downloaded.. I'm just going to bait harv a bit because I already know that it sucks balls

[stupac]

Got it on PS Plus a year or two ago. Trash game.
