Xbox One Console Thread

[bradigor]

Yep that worked for me

[TehStu]

Work around for preview dash members with problems loading their game -

Go to settings - network - go offline - hard reset console - settings - network - go online/connect and voila, all is good

Does that eat any data, like King A has been experiencing?

[MalevolentPanda]

Im also getting the problem and cant play any games, glad i read the post here first regarding not using offline mode as i nearly did it for fallout 4. Not had sny problems until now, hope they fix it soon

Why shouldn't you have used offline mode? I did last night when I had this problem. Read the workaround this morning and did it. It unlocked a couple of achievements that I'd earned in offline which didn't pop, then I was able to carry on playing that game with no progress lost.

Does that eat any data, like King A has been experiencing?

Nope. Well not here, anyway.

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

I thought it might wipe my save so avoided it, also i havent had any data lost that im aware of

[ontwofronts]

Is there a thread recommended external hard drive? 500gb is nowhere near enough

[SeanR]

Is there a thread recommended external hard drive? 500gb is nowhere near enough

It'll take upto 5tb, but http://www.rllmukforum.com/index.php?/topic/288796-bestcheapest-ps4-hard-drive-upgrade-option/?hl=%2Bhard+%2Bdrive

2tb is the sweetspot

[bradigor]

I think I got the last one.

Did your code work? I keep getting an error message when trying to redeem.

[Spleen]

I get an error message too.

I don't think it's connecting to the servers properly.

I'll try again tomorrow.

[Hitcher]

Also clearing your MAC data can help fix it.

[T Pot]

Does that eat any data, like King A has been experiencing?

I gave that a shot since everything else doesn't work for me. I gave to do it each time I boot up the machine, but it works temporarily which is better than nowt.

It's coming by post

[jonnyalpha]

Haven't they put it into the email as the "tracking number"? It looks suspiciously like an xbox store code to me. Or is that really the tracking number?

[Spleen]

Did your code work? I keep getting an error message when trying to redeem.

I tried again just now via the xbox.com website and it all worked fine.

Phewf!

I don't think there's anything there for me (would have been tempted had King's Quest been discounted more heavily) but I'd be interested to hear other people's choices.

Forza Horizon 2 Standard Edition £15 from Live.

Picked it up, £13.29 if you get your credit from CD Keys

[Boozy The Clown]

Was hoping the Batman Arkham Knight Season Pass would appear for a reasonable amount i.e. around £10 - £15 as apposed to it's £32 price. Don't hold out much hope of it appearing that cheap or on it's own. Tempted by the older Batman games for the convenience should they become BC in the near future, but there was definitely mention of an Arkham remaster collection before the PC AK shat the bed.

I highly recommend Tales from the Borderlands at that price. Or the Telltale Collection as The Wolf Among Us is another highlight from this year for me.

I'm sure that video they showed had Batman in it, perhaps it'll be added next weekend.

What's the difference between all the flavours of Forza Horizon 2?

Loved the Demo, but I'm more of an Outrun rather than a proper Forza guy, so don't know if the various gubbins would be of interest to me.

[MattyP]

Or the Telltale Collection as The Wolf Among Us is another highlight from this year for me.

Tempted to get this for £23... Really enjoyed Walking Dead Ep. 1 recently (free with GWG).

Just not sure what the rest of the games are like... not a massive GoT fan. Well not so much I'd want to play the game anyhow.

[Wiper]

I'd second Tales from the Borderlands as a great purchase. I'm considering double-dipping on it so that I have a console version. Also tempted by Forza, though I'd prefer a physical copy.

And, er, I'd be buying Screamride if I hadn't already got a copy winging its way to me. Hush you, I enjoyed smashing and building things in the demo!

(as for the Telltale collection, if it contains Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands it'd be worth it for them alone; if not, depends on whether you enjoy TWD and/or GoT)

Ultimate Edition gives you an extra 36 cars & VIP

Deluxe gives you VIP (an extra 5 cars plus double reward credit after each race.)

Neither includes the Storm Island offroad expansion or some of the newer dlc car packs / Porsche Pack.

All editions are a bargain even at the Uk price imho.

Buying the Deluxe or Ultimate editions will get you VIP status that gives you Storm Island for 50% off if you buy it later.

[Cosmic_Guru]

I'll be picking up Spy Chameleon and Blues and Bullets for PoaP each.

Beyond Eyes is something a bit different.

Wolf - A Detective story cast with modernised adult fairytale characters.

Tales - Mad Max as a comedy

GOT - Grim, dark, depressing and horribly slow, faithful to the show but also constrained by it's tie in.

The Walking Dead - will make you cry.

Sounds like Tales would be more than enough for you.Despite the episodic nature there's a lot of game time in each of these, if very little actual gameplay.

[bradigor]

It's coming by post

The tracking number is the code.

Mine worked this morning.

[Mortis]

Tales from the Borderland and The Wolf Among Us are Telltales 2 best titles so far - I'd put TFTB in my top 5 games this year.

Great thanks for the overview!

Think I'm going to go for it. Judging by how much I enjoyed Walking Dead... Quite enjoy these games although they do feel a bit like an interactive movie sometimes..

Nice they have a back compat column on the 360 titles. Sign of things to come....

Hope they do more flash "steam" like sales like this. Great games and prices. I'll be nice in future to pick up some 360 games at bargain prices I never got around to play.
