So what's the verdict so far?

- back on eBay it goes
- back in the cupboard it goes
- it's good fun at times
- who needs a better model this is wonderful
- Got to get the latest model
- So good, haven't eaten or washed for a week
- Have become a mere biological accessory to X-Box supreme ruler of the planet

 rubschin:

The technology is amazing, gaming at 4K is incredible...  Thumbs:

Haven't played it too much yet, keep getting killed in Assassin's Creed and got stuck in the early stages of Tomb Raider. I'm not really used to that jump/swish/block/run stuff yet...  redface:

Looking forward to Red Dead Redemption arriving (probably Monday now evil:) - the reviews on-line look incredible.

Again, from YouTube reviews I can't see any reason to upgrade to a much more expensive Xbox S or X - although no doubt in time they'll produce some exclusive 'killer game' that requires one.

Overall, very pleased with what I've got for what I've paid.  Thumbs:


:thumbsup:

Money well spent then
Well, whatever, nevermind

If memory serves holding down block and then hitting parry just before someone hits you when you are fighting in AC2 makes taking out the low/mid level fighters a lot easier. Failing that once you get the smoke bomb use that and then hidden blade the everyone attacking you while they are blind (Ezio is an assassin so forget Queensbury rules  eveilgrin: )

Ah yes, your previous gaming experience is a tad outdated. Welcome to the era of the live service game filled with updates and in game microtransactions.  whistle:
