Has anybody got this?

In theory it looks good where you can get loads of games for a subscription.

I've got this and have had it for a long time. Well worth the money. I used to pay monthly but there is a special offer at the moment where you can get 12 months for 40% off (I think).

Yeah I saw that, Ive already bought a couple of the games on there :(

Do they just download and let you play for as long as you subscribe?

Yes that's basically it. It works like a digital license for any games on the server. They do remove some games from the service which stops you using them unless you buy them but whilst they are on the service and you have a valid membership you can download as many as you want to your XBox and play them

Cheers, will sign up and see what's on there! Some of the games look half decent as well.

Was looking at the PS4 one but the top titles don’t appear for a long long time!

Is that PS Plus or PS Now? PS Plus just gives you 4 or 5 a month and once they have ended you can't get them. It's mostly the crappy "indie" ones :(

Where’s this offer?

Played Ark and it took about an hour to get used to it but daughter helped me.

It's a bit long winded like minecraft, have to evolve and learn things. Then you can build somewhere to live and weapons, fire etc.

Only thing I couldnt find a way to save it so it's all a bit wasted?

Found some "different" games over the weekend to play (one's I would never buy)

Never Alone - excellent story and some really good documentary videos throughout explaining the real life side of the story
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - Interesting take on Mental disorder. Worth a look
Ashen - not sure what to make of it. Gave up after about 30 minutes as wasn't hooked, not sure if I'll go back to it again or not
Farming Simulator 17 - Basically be a farmer - controls are very fiddly
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption - another one that I gave up after about 30 minutes as wasn't hooked, not sure if I'll go back to it again or not
Thief of Thieves: Season One - played through the game but not sure if I would bother with season two or not - interesting enough concept though

I suppose that's one of the joys of this service - try and see if anything rocks your boat

I got pissed off with Farming Simulator, no idea what to be doing. Doesn't really tell you much.

Just wanted some sheep and cows to make loads of money off.

I just ended up paying somebody to do the fields then forgot what to do afterwards. Whilst they were working on the fields I took the car for a drive and struggled to control it unless driving stupidly slowly

Yeah, I did that bit where they do it. Spent ages trying to figure it out but had no idea. Think I was meant to go and buy some equipment but it didnt really say what to do next so just turned it off and deleted it.

Its not like any other game where it shows you on the map and says "go and do this" to get you started. Pretty sure if people were expert farmers and knew what fertilizer they needed they wouldnt be sat playing it on the Xbox!

Red dead redemption being added soon.

Paid for itself
