Anyone else having trouble playing online? I am signed in and have a friends list with people online, but the dashboard tile says to connect to Xbox live and I can't play any games online

Try performing a complete shutdown, happened with me last night and that solved it. The Bone is a buggy pile of wank, something new with every system update :slol:

Thanks! Yeh that worked. Luckily I don't often leave mine on which seems to cause this particular problem :lol:

Highly recommend The Long Dark.

I bought Quantum Break in the sale for around £22. Nice price but what a bastard-long time to download and its live action episodes! Will try and play it this weekend.
I played a little bit of Forza Horizon 3 and it is lovely to look at and fun, reminds me of Burnout Paradise. Some of the social racing stuff seems inspired from Drive Club but Drive Club is semi-sim like and (for me) overly dour.

Am hoping Fable Anniversary comes to 360 BC as I really would like to play it!

You don't need to download the live action cut scenes as I'm sure they are streamed if not downloaded. I downloaded them personally, all 70+GB's worth :dread:

Ace Combat 7 rated for Xbox One in Taiwan.
http://gematsu.com/2017/01/ace-combat-7 ... one-taiwan

The Taiwan Game Software Rating Information board has rated Ace Combat 7 for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Ace Combat 7 has currently only been confirmed for release on PlayStation 4.

Ratings from the Taiwan Game Software Rating Information board are generally a reflection of what’s really happening on the publisher’s side. However, there was one rating for an Xbox One version of BlazBlue: Central Fiction in January 2016 that never actually happened. The game eventually launched in October for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, both of which were also rated.

Finally picked up Sunset Overdrive :wub:

I'm absolutely awful at the combat, though. Barely scraped through the first Buck challenge (THE PAIN TRAIIIINNN) and then there's BID0 with like 450,000 points :dread:

Still not massively keen on the tower defence/horde nighttime sections either, but they seem pretty infrequent for the time being...

Thought I'd just throw this one in here as it's something f I only found out today but if any of you actually use up your Ultraviolet codes you get with DVD's/Blu Rays you can link your UV account with the TalkTalk app and watch them through that.

I was the same, just play through the campaign and ignore the Tony Hawk high score missions where possible. Go back to them when you have better weaponz and skillz

The souped up acid sprinkler weapon was handy for a lot of those high score ones. Or any weapon like that, which you lay down and leave it to rack up kills. It's a shame I didn't really use any of those turret type weapons until the very end. It would have made the game much easier.

Yeah, that's what I thought :wub:

With the weapons having to level up and everything too it doesn't really make sense to try and get the highest high scores yet.

Does anyone still play that Chaos Squad thing?

I tried to go online to play Chaos Squad with a mate and it would not have it. I assume that there were not enough people around to start a game. I played a couple of hours of Sunset, but I just kept jumping around and dying. I am a gamer that needs a game set to Easy to be easy.

Me and Cora tried it once or twice but there were weird connection issues and like Samoza, it took forever to get games.

I got lucky one weekend and matchmaking worked so maybe it's best to try at weekends

I played it in the evenings with randoms and never had that much difficulty finding a game. This was before it went GWG too, so I'm sure there would have been less people playing. Was a pretty fun distraction from the main game.

Maybe try setting up a Looking For Group session.

Not the greatest advertisement for One S when their official homepage has got missing text and calls HDR "HRD"...
