So my Bone friends list is depressingly empty, much like my real life friends list.

Can everyone on here please make it a priority to add me? I just bought Sniper Elite and have no one to play with.

There's a spreadsheet linked on the first post with peoples gamertags on it. Add yourself to that too.

I'm up for some Sniper Elite goodness - just give me a shout.

[EvilBoris]

I've added ya.

[jonnyalpha]

Do you mean you can get those games for less on PC or on Xbox One? Including Blue Estate? Care to share where?

CDKeys have cheap codes for both AC games, not Blue Estate, I paid less then £3 for Black Flag and just under £12 for Unity. I've used them a couple of times now and they send codes straight through.

The complete bundle of that new Resident Evil Revelations title is a tenner on the Russian store

[Revival]

New id@xbox game AIPD will be available in May.

Neverwinter coming to the Bone on 31 March. Given that it is initially free to play, a bit of a no-brainer for RPG fans, this one. No idea if it will be a stayer though based on the my experience of the beta (limited options for character development and the usual MMO myriad of currency options basically).

So how long do they give you on free to play before they start charging you? Never played Neverwinter.

[Cosmic_Guru]

I don't think there is a timer as such, it's just a question of how far you can progress through the game without buying some of the in-game currency with the real stuff. Obviously one can ignore the cosmetic items but if things like bags of holding cost hard cash then that's a different matter. In the beta some welcome pack items were free which may not be so in-game (too lazy to check that point I'm afraid) - analogous to how the Destiny beta accelerated the magic item drops. Additionally, character development seemed very limited i.e only a couple of choices available at any one time (probably an unfair comparison there with games like Divinity OS which throw a huge number of choices at you).

Nethertheless i'll be there day one, not least to get into a MMO mindset before ESO hits.

[Butters]

Ah, the infamous in game purchases. Euuuurgggh.

Will still give the beta a try though.

[Boozy The Clown]

Just finished Ryse. Only paid a tenner for it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I was thinking of donating my copy to the forum as a kind of play and pass on to people who fancied giving it a try. It's only about 6-7 hours long and I reckon folks with a Bone should see it at the very least as a graphics showcase even if it is only 900p. The gameplay is fairly simple to the point of being similar to a rhythmn action/continual QTE fighting game.

Failing that I'll keep it and play it again once the screenshots update hits non preview members.

[Jazz Glands]

I'd love to try it if the offer still stands?

[Mr Do 71]

I'd love to try it if the offer still stands?

Could I be on the list to play it after Jazz Glands, please?

[Boozy The Clown]

First come first served.

Word of warning though it does need a 9.5Gb update to play online, not sure if it's required or what the procedure is to avoid it to play the campaign. Maybe someone can advise on this.

[Jazz Glands]

It's cool, send it to Mr Do first... Thinking about it I have a pile of shame to get through before starting anything else

[Mr Do 71]

Yes please. Thanks.

[Boozy The Clown]

PM'ed.

[MikeBeaver]

It's well worth a play through, I went through it directly after Shadow of Mordor, and had more fun with Ryse , it is very simple, but it flows along nicely, you never feel like you are being cheated and it does look rather good

I thought MS had pissed off all the indie devs? There seems to be a lot of games being released lately.

[Yoshimax]

Yeah it's absolutely mental how many of these smaller digital titles are coming out. Did XBLA used to be weekly? I can't even remember now. This wiki lists 697 games released on it

Has anyone played that new survival horror game, Forza Horizon 2?

Posting this Resident Evil Revelations 2 news here as it won't go down well elsewhere. Looks to me like a game best ignored regardless of platform though.

CoD:AW 1Tb Bone inc Forza 5 going for £300 at GAME.

[SweatyTravolta]

Nah, the game is pretty good and shouldn't be ignored if you like Resident Evil. The micro transactions are only shortcuts to unlock things that can otherwise be earned during normal play.

[Bojangle]

The excellent Velocity 2X is coming to Xbox One (and PC). Happy that a wider audience is getting the chance to play it, great game.

[bradigor]

My game of the year and a chance to play it all over again.

EA Access members to get 10 hour access to all multiplayer maps & modes and first 2 chapters of single player from 12/3/15.

[SweatyTravolta]

EA Access really is great value for money, Sony really need to reconsider their stance on the service.

Looks like a faster paced Door-knockers, which isn't a bad thing...
