My mistake then. I guess that shows how uninterested in achievements I am…

100 hours for only 0.1%. I don’t particularly like achievements anyway but these ones are just stupid.

How’s Gears of War? It’s on my wishlist, planning to start Halo MC collection soon, but want to play Gears of Wars games after that.

It holds up very well and GoW2 is one of the games that gets a fps & resolution boost for backwards compatibility so actually looks really good to.

I’ve been watching and helping my daughter play through Kingdom Two Crowns (on peaceful mode) and once she feels ready we will try co-op on normal difficulty.

I’ve been playing through Gears of War 2 on the Xbox and it’s been great fun. Haven’t played it since original release and didn’t go any further so after I’m done it’s on to GoW3 and maybe more.

I’m not particularly a fan of either re-makes or full remastered but I’m a big fan or, for example, when Xbox upgraded the resolution and FPS or backwards compatible games.

I would love to see Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes again and have a similar service on Switch for GameCube games.

Future Cop L.A.P.D

I can get behind this. FC hold up very well and is an amazing game that I think is mostly forgotten by now.

There were many great racers around the Xbox 360 era and before. I feel like since then I can count on one hand the amount of good ones.

I think it just not as popular anymore but then also if they don’t make them we can’t play them!

Wreckfest, Circuit Superstars, Art of Rally, EA WRC are some excellent newer games to try.

Plex is good and the Plexamp app for music is excellent.

It’s probably 95% digital now for me.

I tend to buy 1st party Nintendo games in physical form still but because of more PC gaming and having Xbox Gamepass for that last couple years I’ve moved mostly to digital.

I’m not going to buy it (there was a time where I would though) but I do like all this kind of stuff from Nintendo.

Mass Effect series.

It’s easy to avoid the worst offenders. Also “live service” is a very broad term and covers a lot.

One aspect that I really don’t like is when games just seem to hang on too long with updates and/or DLC. Be proud to finish the game and move on to something new (looking at you The Long Dark…)

The question can be asked for most things in life really so just do both options. Generally I’m a “value for money” gamer now but If something catches my eye I will make an effort to support it.

Basically it’s nice to look at but completely useless.

That’s not much to go on but some general docs I’ve recently enjoyed are,

• The Contestant
• The Edge of Everything
• Sicko
• Queen of Speed
• Finke: There and Back
• Rubble Kings

Same.

I don’t play often but I check in every few months for an update or new mods.

There a quite a few favourites over the years.

• Colin McRae Rally 2.0
• Live for Speed
• Hydrothunder
• Metropolis Street Racer
• Forza Motorsport 4
• Burnout 2
• Blur
• Wreckfest
• Gran Turismo 2
• Wave Race Blue Storm
• F-Zero X
• GRIP (and Rollcage 1 & 2)
• TT Isle of Man
• Dirt Rally 1 & 2
• Circuit Superstars

I’m not sure how I feel about mid-gen upgrades.

I’m all for something like the PS2/PS3 slim or Xbox 360/One S but a PS4/5 pro and One X just don’t interest me.

I also kind of despise the whole smartphone upgrade path that is the norm nowadays so I really hope consoles don’t continue the same way.

They got me! I couldn’t resist for that price.

That’s a lot of money for a generation that just isn’t worth it.
