It is a shambles when a DS4 works better than an official MS product on an MS platform.

I love gamepass, it’s amazing value. But it has some properly weird foibles.

To be fair, a DS4 works better on PC than it does on PS5 too.

I thought the 360 pad’s cable was strictly charging-only, and it doesn’t work as a wired controller.

Another late night playing Deep Rock Galactic with a mate. I'm starting to think this might be one of the great multiplayer games. It can be fiddly as hell when you are having to do one of the pipework levels, but the balance of action and strategy, together with the resource system and how it links to upgrades is so compelling that it always has us pushing a bit more each time. Also, the stress of trying to find your drop pod under pressure is second to none. Every single time we struggle to find it and it ends up like a scene from Aliens (aided by sentry gun ammo watching). Fanatastic game that i have only ever heard mentioned once in the gaming press (Giant Bomb had it in their multiplayer game of the year list).

Its absolutely gorgeous too.

Maybe you're right. I'm sure I've used it that way on a computer in the past... but now I think about it I might be confusing it with a 360 rock band controller that's wired :fp:

I'll test it when I next get a chance so we have a definitive answer 8-)

IIRC you need a play and charge kit, and then it works cabled. I don't think the controller has a USB port.

Thats my recollection also. But its been a long time.....

NHL 21 joining EA Play on 12th April, FIFA 21 joins in May - https://www.ea.com/ea-play/news/ea-play ... -april2021

Yay, was expecting NHL to be later than that. :toot:

The always get NHL on there either before or just before the playoffs start. Dunno if that’s intentional or a lucky coincidence. Go Vegas :shifty:

Given the Flyers recent form then that's nothing I need to think about.

Someone else here knows hockey?!?

Lifetime Blackhawks fan :toot:

Edit: only just caught up with the Hurricanes Blackhawks game.
Lankinen loving the tactic of leaving the net wide open.

I use the NHL app on the Xbone for highlights and the occasional free game when they decide to show some, and subscribe to Premier Sports (who are just the worst :lol:

)

Even Sony can't resist Game Pass

Can you imagine what it’s going to be like if we ever have to go back to buying games? There will be such resentment.

This is absolutely mental.

Subscription services continuing to make me regret every single purchase I make.

I bought MLB The Show 20 a few weeks back because it was only £15 and I wasn’t sure if I’d like the series, so I didn’t want to risk the full price on the new one.

That's really quite something.
