I just got Windows 10 on my office computer, and managed to stream my home console to my office. Tested it with HaloMCC, and it was actually playable! Probably better suited to puzzle or RTS games though .... I expect it depends heavily on home upload speed.

Because I enjoy it. Mystifying I know.

 

At the end of the day it's the same old story if you don't like it don't do it. I don't do it for every game but it gives me a sense of completion. The main reason I do it is when I pay £45 for a game, I don't want to finish it, delete it and move on. I spend time going back and getting everything because that to me is getting my full moneys worth. 

 

Counterpoint the last few weeks a few of us have been replaying Gears3 horde, Judgement campaign and this weekend Halo5 campaign. We did it to pick off straggly achievements but we had an absolute blast doing so more than dare I say some recent games would provide.

 

Achievements - particularly now with the constant stream of BC titles are a great motivation to go back and play games you would never otherwise have revisited. In a world where soon we will see people proudly proclaiming that they finished Uncharted4 by the day after release so they can trade it back at maximum value this is a good thing.

 

(Varsity is totally an achievement whore though) :hat:

I've never once played a game to pick off an achievement, and can't ever imagine doing it. I've occasionally done something and had a pleasant reaction to the achievement pop up, but it's never tempted me to actually try to get them. I'm one of the 'arbitrary number' camp.

Equally, I can't imagine ever getting a game and playing it through as quickly as possible so I can trade it back at maximum value. That seems like it'd spoil the experience for me. In fact, I only complete around 10% of the games I play, I reckon.

Thinking about it, although I feel like I play games loads, I'm not actually that much of a gamer these days. Played Everybody's Gone To The Rapture to completion and put 70 hours into Stardew Valley, but before that I can't remember the last game I played. Dark Souls, maybe, just to see what it's like on Xbox One.

I thought it was only local streaming?

Is it just me or is the store on Xbox One really poorly organised? I can't seem to find any way to filter what I'm searching for or sections dedicated to specific genres, etc.

 

Like I say, it might be me missing something obvious, so please tell me if I am!

 

I've got £20 credit to spend and while I am tempted to use it on EA Access, I quite fancy picking up one or two cheap Xbox One exclusives, maybe some indie games. Any recommendations?

I don't play mobas, but played the tutorials of Smite, not knowing what to expect. I thought it was some of the worst time I have spent on games this generation. I have nothing further to add.

 

That made me chuckle.

So installed Smite, and am playing the tutorials. Does anyone here play it and want to help a moba noob?

 

If you want to play a MOBA I'd strongly suggest going with Gigantic over this - if you need a download key let me know pretty sure I have one.

 

Also this might be of use to some people - lets you see what Xbox One DLC is currently free :

Elite is on sale for gold members just now not sure of UK price as I already own it but US is $18. I think Brazil store has it under a tenner.

 

https://store.xbox.com/en-GB/Xbox-One/Bundle/Elite-Dangerous-Standard-Edition/74e9cc2a-16d1-4689-ab2a-117e73fa02c4

 

Note the prices at the link don't show the gold discount that's on top.

 

It's £15 and that's impulse buy territory, cheers for the heads up.

Anyone used the ARG store recently? I tried this morning to grab Doom but I keep getting a "use a different card" error message. I setup a Revolut and tried that but it did the same. Annoying.

 

Wouldn't work for me at all trying to get division a couple of weeks ago. Googled it and more people are starting to have issues more often.
