The controls take some getting used to and even then they're a little awkward still though I think I know what everything does, obviously didn't get to play it much but I did get to experience a green storm, which I got lost in and then it threw a rock at my head and killed me Made me like the game even more. Don't think I'll buy it just yet since after Dead Rising 4 is done with I'll be buying Stardew Valley, Bastion and I'm already in a Early Access game (The Ark) so I might wait until they add more stuff, specifically more fauna which will probably get me to buy the game. Looking at their road map: https://trello.com/b/UoZgKrd3/astroneer-road-map-planning - Farming, Story, Weather Systems, Aggressive Fauna, Planetary Conditions, AI Life Forms and Animal Packs Might wait until all that is in first.

I really like the look/potential of Astroneer but it looks incredible early and probably still a little to basic to be in Game Preview but will be following it's development cycle and interested to see what it becomes.

Off topic, but I like what you did in the Amazon thread. :/ 

Sooo is there going to be a Christmas sale on XBL this year?

Bought FFXV!

I saw a gap where I was always online and so it seemed an ideal time to update it especially with deals changing and it been the time of year when you generally see more movement and fire sales that can shake things up a little.

I hope we get some news on a sale and Rise of Tomb Raider season pass is on sale again since I somehow forgot to grab it for £4 on Black friday :(

Nice! Hope you enjoy it! I actually bought 3 copies of it day one... yea i'm crazy... Got it  on Xbox One, UK Physical copy and digital US copy on PS4 as they have seperate trophy lists so im figured I will complete it 100% several times, Funny story is my X1/PS4 physical copy didn't arrive on launch day so I got bought the US digital copy to play a day earlier :) Got the plat on PS4 and put a lot of time into the X1 copy done all side quests and just need to clear up the main story and still enjoying it the second time in such a short time :D

I went into the game rather cautiously not been a fan of the combat at all and didn't really know what would become on the bromance theme it pitched on us but I ended up quite enjoying the combat and a solid game overall.

@poll

I haven't voted until now as I just couldn't decide what was my clear cut winner for most anticipated exclusive but in the end I voted for Scalebound as I just love Platinum games and with the extra time they taking for development I have some high hopes for how it will turn out.

Really though it was more a 3 way tie for Scalebound/Halo Wars 2/Crackdown. Crackdown more so because I can't wait to see what they do with cloud computing and the combination of it been built as a launch title for the Scorpio (prretty sure this will launch same day as Scorpio) it may just blow us away on the technical side of things so It's interesting to see how it will end up. I think it's a really solid line up in general for 2017.

Last week the Minecraft bundle (and briefly a Battlefield bundle) got down to $294AU - thats when I picked mine up. Thats approx $220US, and we have a 10% GST included in that price, meaning they really gave it to us for just under $US200.

Don't get me wrong, thats rare and insane pricing, but MS in Australia at least is starting to be very price competitive with its US offerings.

Aww I love you guys :) 

OT: Any of your bots play LO? Enjoying it? 

Nah Noble will flip to PC, see how meh that is, then go to Switch lol he'll sell that, flop back to Xbox for Wars 2, sell that console for a Pro and repeat. 

Put in 45mins in FF today because it just finished the day 1 patch and install. Its really solid game tbh. Im loving the combat system. The only thing i dont like yhus far is the blur. The game is noticebly blurry its pretty annoying.
