    Started with Red Dead Redemption 2.

    It looks pretty, but so far it's a bit of a drag. Everything seems to just be insanely slow. And I don't seem to quite get the combat. There's some sort of tactical approach you're meant to have to it I think, hiding behind barrells and what not whereas my style in games is a bit more guns blazing (I don't have patience).

    You'd best get used to the combat because from what I've been told a lot of the story quests end up boiling down to "kill a billion lawmen."

    I might get the hang of it more. The guy you are controlling just feels so clunky. He walks extremely slowly, and sprinting doesn't work that well. You can't do any rolling or jumping which I sort of get would be weird in the setting, but the game sort of feels like a game where you would do that otherwise.

    But I'm thinking it's just one of those games you need to have some patience with, so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

    It's a fantastic game, but it suffers in the same way that GTA does in that it's not an FPS shooter. Quick targeting headshots and using the bullet time feature are fine once you get used to it though.

    I still haven't gone back to RDR2. I played the first hour or so (if played is the right word as it barely seemed like a game) and it was just interminably dull.

    You missed out - it's fantastic. Bit slow to get started but mostly because it's setting you up to actually care about the characters rather than just chucking you in as Mr Shooty Man and giving you a lasso.

    Also have their voucher thing on. £10 off anything over £13.99. If you use a voucher you get another one.

    Got Edith Finch (again, had it on PS4), Journey to a Savage Planet and Ashen for a combined £15.

    Epic?

    If so I need to actually fucking use it this time. I could have sworn I'd used the last one to get Outer Wilds and then when I went to fire it up the other day I'd apparently never completed the purchase.

    Yeah, go onto their store and at the top is a big banner about claiming a code.

    ArseCreed Odyssey and Outer Wilds bought for a combined princely sum of £16.48.

    Cheers for the heads-up, DS. As it turns out it wasn't going to pop up and tell me that when I booted up so I might have missed it.

    I thought the Epic Games Store was just for collecting free games, like trading cards or something.

    Basically my experience with Origins. I definitely got my money's worth as I got it for cheap and the game world itself is absolutely beautiful but it never got it's hooks into me so one day I just meh'd out and played something else.

    Tried a few methods. It’s where it gets to the bit for linking to an existing or new account (you have to pick one). I do ‘new’, it sends me a code via email and when I enter the code it refreshes back to asking me to send the code again. Infinite loop.

    I did the exact same. It seems like the sort of thing you probably have to sit and play for hours at a time and I just don't think I can be arsed with that these days.

    You can't play Epic Games games on XBox if that's what you're asking.

    GTA V and it's shity money grab online mode means they never made any fun add ons to the main game. I'd take another Ballad of Gay Tony or Lost & Damned over griefer twats in alien costumes and pointless money sink vehicles.

    Online version? Fuck that for a start.

    Is the €30 one on the Microsoft store a proper version then? Apologies for what is probably an obvious question but everything in gaming these days seems to be set up to shaft you.

    The most basic version will be the main (singleplayer) game which is great, the map alone is worth the money. Anything else will be main game plus online currency (Shark cards are also online currency), any crime/business based expansions are also online only.

    GTA 5 was added to Xbox Game Pass a short while ago. You can get 1 month for about £3 assuming you don't have it already.

    I ended up buying the Premium Edition as it was the same price as the regular edition for some reason. I had game pass at one time but I drag the Xbox out about twice a year so wasn’t worth it.
    This game is far too hard for me though, I barely got through the intro as I don’t know the controls

    This was my initial feeling as well. Pretty - but boring.

    But Its slowly growing on me. That said - I still can't really manage playing it for longer than 1-2 hours and after that I just feel like I need to move on. Not sure why
    And it still feels more like ambiance and scenery than proper fun. Also, most of the stuff you can acquire and sort of "upgrade" your character mostly seems costmetic, rather than actually make Arthur better.

    Still, worthwhile so far. Definitely will try to get through it.

    Yeah, I never bothered with it much past the first dungeon. The way the game hands its tutorials (slowly and at length) put me right off.

    What tutorials? It thrusts you in and the story/setting drags you along until the end. Such a good game.

    I like the idea of that as a setting. I loved the world of Oranges but never finished the story, but I got Odyssey with the current Epic deal so I'll see how I get on with that.

    I've not played either of the newest ones. Need to try and get through them soon but I have so many frickin games to work through.

    It's all too GCSE History for me. I'd rather Ubisoft (a company of many ethnicities and religions) went full tin-foil and gave us a JFK conspiracy hour or plonked you in the Nazis.
