Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone has a great 2022 🥳!

Yeah, just found out that my phone will be two years in March 2022 so I'll probably look into changing my phone then. At the moment, it's looking like the iPhone 13 Pro will be my first choice so the fact you and your mum likes it is a good sign

Yeah, that's very annoying with train simulators. It's crazy how expensive the DLC is just for one train as well.

I have quite a few and the list is just way too long. But from the ones I'm watching right now, my favourites would be the Witcher and F1: Drive to Survive.

Does anyone play driving/racing games with a racing wheel? And if so, do you think it makes the experience a lot better?

Does anyone here play simulators? And if so, what games do you play?

Like you said, it would just make much more sense for them to simply update their current game right? Always thought it was weird that Overwatch is getting a new game and not just updating the current one.

Yeah, Steam has the market share so it's going to be very hard to steal users from there. The only way is to have exclusives but that just annoys people.

Yeah, I refuse to pay for multiple services. Netflix is enough for me and then I always have a Disney+ subscription thanks to all the trials they have.

I am currently watching Home Alone on TV. Looking forward to the second one tomorrow.

Netflix for me. Has a great variety of shows including some great exclusives. It's a real shame they're losing some good shows at the end of the year though :(

Enjoying this at the moment after discovering this Logic song yesterday. Shame it's not on Spotify

I don't use it much because I'm primarily a console gamer but it is quite good. No complaints when I did use it by streaming games through GeForce Now.

It was kind of crazy to see what some of the top earners were making. I'm sure a lot of people will be happy that we're now getting another store for the PC market. Competition is good but there just seems to be too many.

I can't even remember what games came out this year lol. I would probably just go for MSFS or Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox.

Missed out on it when it was free for PS Plus members. Bought it a little while after that, liked it for a bit but haven't touched it since. It's just not for me, to be honest.

Yeah, not an official policy obviously but I've never had any issues with Amazon and returning stuff after their returns period ends. Might be because I use them a lot though.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes. You'll have to stop following me everywhere @Empire :p

If Santa can give me some money, that would be great. I'll even leave him some fancy chocolate chip cookies.

That's good to hear. The majority of my controllers have lasted a very long time as well except for the occasional drift issue with the thumbsticks. Fortunately for me, Amazon will replace the controller within a certain period of time even after the warranty expires.

There are times where you kind of get bored of the current games that you have. Had a brief period a week or two ago where I just couldn't be bothered to play anything. But you do get interested in gaming again after a few days off.

Yeah, definitely. I think FIFA players know a lot about raging at the game so for those that throw their controllers at the wall, they might want to stick with the unofficial ones lol. I think the official ones are even more important for the PS5 now because of the fancy features it comes with.

Yeah, the fact that they offer first party games at launch is just an amazing thing really. Being able to play Flight Sim, Forza Horizon and even Hallo on their release dates was just great.

Does anyone here ever use unofficial controllers for their consoles? Or do you prefer to always use official controllers?

Do they consistently give you that offer? Or do you have to wait a few days/weeks to get the offer again? There is another offer where you just sign up for Xbox Live Gold and then pay for a month of Game Pass. That should upgrade all your Live Gold months to Ultimate then.
