    Bought GTA V for the Xbox One brand new for £18 from Tesco (British grocery chain store) where I've seen it selling for £22.00 in used condition at CEX (British used media chain store), I have that game for the Xbox 360, but then just when I bought it used for IDK, £8 from CEX, I discovered a golden oldie for the Xbox 360 GTA San Andreas (with Achievements) - played that, completed it, just for the achievements.
    I bought GTA San Andreas brand new from another British store, dedicated to console gaming; they sell new and used... I bought GTA San Andreas for the Xbox 360 brand new there for £20.00; I found it in CEX a week later, and saw CEX wanted £22.00 for it used...
    Randomness that sticks out to me... So I'm playing GTA V tonight, on my Xbox One... 2 hours to install right, damn Xbox One. - That's the thing with Xbox One....
    It sucks!
    Two hours to install a game, and other horror stories found on YouTube while you're YouTube'ing Xbox One Sucks videos on YouTube while you're new game is installing.
    I played GTA V, then, paused it, found a TV, saw Click (British television show on British state run television) and they're talking about Gaming Disorder.

    Gaming Disorder is something the NHS (British socialised healthcare) are worried about.
    According to the WHO (World Health Organization), video games can lead to Gaming Disorder.
    So I'm not going to indulge in any upgrades for Forza Motorsport 7 I got this week for the Xbox One and buy with real cash money any packages, and I'm going to just bare Gaming Disorder in mind.

    I got my Xbox 360 in 2010, played it until 2012/2013 sometime then, sold it....
    and last August after at least 5 years of doing fine , I got a used one from CEX and the games I had before again.... Then I soon realised I've played them etc, so I got more, but now they're like from 50p to £15.00, so I got bunch of Xbox 360 games...
    In that, I soon realised that everyone was into Xbone One now, and, well 'to keep up with the Joneses'/Keep up with appearances' I got me an Xbox One... Hated it.
    Started playing it this week though, properly.

    Fractured but whole (On PC) will be the next game I play I've already bought it got to get in the mood.

    Last game I properly played was GTA V on my PS3 a few years ago now lol.

    I build a powerful PC for cad work which happens to play games very well and I never play them lol. As a kid I was addicted to C64, speccy, then Amiga, then PC but my friends dad got an IBM XT in 1982 (We were 5) by the time I was 7 we were fixing the school pc's lol because teachers had no clue.

    I always have a fondness for the dos prompt ;)

    I do have a Triangular box version of Day Of The Tentacle it's ultra ultra rare and mind is mint condition I bought the day it came out and I even have the receipt in the box!

    I've been playing Sea Of Thieves for 3 days now... It's addictive.
    Honest to God, first voyage I found myself on, was an open one, and the very first heard I word was a user say the N Word... ...
    Followed by another user saying something like 'Let's ****ing go'....
    I knew right away these were other users...
    That was a fun voyage, I learned my way around 'fiddling with things' and when they locked me up in the brig a 2nd time, I got bored and quit...
    Now two days later, and everyone else has been rather 'polite', no 'N Word' or 'F Bomb', but the initial experience of this game was hearing the N Word and someone else using the F Bomb...

    This game makes me want to get that headset for Xbox One so I can play and swear too...
    This game can get tense at times, and on my first day, I likened my own swearing 'all be it not shared since I have no mic/headset' was like Rick Sanchez of Rick And Morty.
    3 days later and I'm now at one with the sea, it's an interestingly addictive game, putting those other games I was playing on hold, I am now a pirate, now.

    If the PC version is going to be more than a year out I will most likely break down and finally get a PS4. A PS4 Pro because if I am going to be a console kiddie :nana: then I at least want to be one of the better ones and not one of those who play on the "poor people" console.

    Lara Croft Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Assassins Creed Black Flag(unfinished) and Shroud of the Avatar. On PC but assassins creed on Xbox.
    My kids say that I need a Play Station to have exposure to all platforms.
    Maybe they will give me Red Dead Redemption 2 for Christmas.

    But have you been a good mummy this year? Probably best to buy it yourself lol.

    That's what I'm buying my brother for his Bday/Xmas present joys of Bday's a week before Xmas ;) mine is just after. He adored the original he broke 2 360's playing just that game.

    The joys of a combined present when you were a kid ;)

    Big bro is a lucky lad. Don't remember Speedball-1 or 2.
    I got RSI in my thumbs from overdoing Jetset Willy on the Spectrum.

    I was in that game at the start and was completely unimpressed by it.

    Its nothing but repetition with zero end game.

    You need to try Assassins Creed Odyssey.

    Its now an RPG.

    It unlocks things to customise your pirate and their ships with.

    There's the accumulation of gold to purchase and the earning of commendations to level up and do harder missions.
    I bought a £20.00 microphone for my Xbox specifically for this game, and you've got people playing it on PC too all at the same time, and, the reason I did that (bought my Xbox mic) was to have the freedom and voice to swear like a sailor and be heard, because it's about trust @Spooky you've got to trust your fellow human in this live game to get anything done, and there's skeleton forts and ghost ships that have a lot of treasure, I mean enough treasure to get the coins to turn your pirate into a real Pimp/a real somebody.

    You're a good user Spooky, but I think you're wrong on this one, Sea of Thieves is amazing, all about that treasure!
    It's also time consuming and sometimes all for nothing.
    It's deep.
    Got updates like volcanoes and fires and ****ing Krakens and ****.

    It's a shame what corporate culture is doing to games.

    Currently playing Fortnite Battle Royale season 7. I like it better than PUBG, even though PUBG came first.

    I love getting a random squad and coordinating our drop location and beating out dozens of other squads for a victory royale.
