Got to start of Chaper 5 on Call of the Sea, will probably finish it off tonight. Really enjoying it.

I'm only on Chapter 2. I keep enjoying but getting too tired and stopping. :lol:

I wonder if the cloud save syncs to the PC version and I can make a bit of progress there.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

My friend pedro on android! Hell yeah. I've been meaning to play that for ages and it will be great there. I think I might try and get some posts going about android xcloud in the appropriate thread.

Well, I never. Farming Simulator 17 is leaving Game Pass. It's been on there more than three years at this point. I'd fully expected it to be replaced by 19 around half a year ago, but maybe 19 will appear on there soon.

I'd love to get back into the world of Skyrim, but I really don't want to commit to it when I've got other stuff to get on with. Might give that MotoGP a try, though. I've found myself doing that with the other racing games on the service in recent months. Not that I've stuck with any of them, but it's always fun to experience the differences between them and the tracks they host.

At least Skyrim will now be staying in Gamepass for good.

Call of the Sea is brilliant so far (only on chapter 3), but what a weird decision to have us select puzzle pieces with the left stick, but then have to manipulate them with the right stick. It’s totally unintuitive.

This caught me out on the bridge puzzle in chapter one. I thought my controller had stopped responding.

I'm so tempted by Skyrim. I put a ridiculous number of hours into the 360 version and loved it, but only played it through once. Since then I've bought it on PC and PSVR, but I've never done more than try it out to see how it looks with mods/in VR. Wish I could load my save from the original one.

If i hadn't played Skyrim again recently (PSVR), i would absolutely dip in again. It's still great.

Infact, if there is a mod that balances magic better (so its still useable in the latter half of the game) i might be tempted. I cant play a stealth archer AGAIN.

For those new to Skyrim mods will disable Achievements.

60FPS mod for Series X, may work on Series S - https://bethesda.net/en/mods/skyrim/mod-detail/4056888
Apparently there is a way to keep achievements with this mod!

Start the game and go to mods

Download and enable the mod

Restart the game and open mod menu again

Disable the 60 fps mod and restart the game

Play the game with 60 fps!


Other mods -

Skyrim Graphics Overhaul, Skyland Textures, 4K Glassy Waters, Detailed LOD - Tamriel Reloaded, SMIM Essentials, Enhanced Lights and FX, Simply Darker, and two others that I recommend that aren't necessarily graphic mods but do make Skyrim more pretty and atmospheric are Divine Cities and True Storms.

We’ve found the only person in the world yet to play Skyrim!

I’ve bought it *a few* times but will download this onto my XSX now too. Just cos, y’know, it’s there!

I take it achievements don't retrospectively unlock if you disable a mod and boot the game up normally later? Like ones for reaching Level 20, visiting locations etc.

I downloaded Skyrim today, and though I put about 100 hours into it on the 360, I didn't get close to finish it, as it was what I was playing when I left the UK and my 360 behind (that makes it sound like I fled in the night).

I bought it on the Switch in the summer for £20, but only done about ten hours, and am now tempted to make more of a go of it on my S.

Not sure how next gen it will feel though, so the 60fps mod is tempting.

I presume load times are a lot quicker even without mods? Guess I can load it up now and see...

EA Play is available for GamePass PC today, right? I have been dying to play Fallen Order. I wonder how it works, if I need EA’s app, or if I can do it all through the Xbox app/store?

I kinda hate how staggered things are between console and PC Gamepass. I’d love to revisit Skyrim ( :lol: ), but it’s not available on PC GamePass yet. If Doom had hit the same time as on console, I would have had time to play it. I really wanna play Control too. It’s not so PC master race quite yet.

Will I be downloading and playing Skyrim again? By the Nine, you better believe I am.

Skyrim is 4K on Series X too. (2K or double 1080p on Series S) I believe.

Looks like EA Play for PC Game Pass is delayed.

I'm absolutely gutted. I've been so excited to play Fallen Order.
