    knockedremal on the Xbox 1. I had a PS3 and 360 and found the same. the only reason in the end I used the PS3 was for GT and blu ray. and GT was the first GT I did not like and preferred Forza

    Get BF4 on the Xbox. I need help on there lol

    Good to hear you've come over to Xbox. I've had a Xbox One since launch day and it's the lack of games for both consoles that are hurting the experience I think. Interesting that you say it is more usable than PS4 - my PS4 playing buddies are keeping that quiet! Make sure you update your Xbox One today as there is a new patch out that improves a LOT of things on the console.

    Sounds like you and I are cut from the same cloth. I still buy FPS games for the PC only for that reason. Everything else I tend to get on console :)

    Absolutely, it all started with the first COD for pc & followed it through until Modern Warfare, then from MW2 the series just lost the plot for me so i found a new fix in the Battlefield series for pc

    However i do still collect the vintage stuff, i have all boxed in the loft ZX81, Spectrum 16k, 48k, +, +2, +3, Commodore 64 (bread bin shape) 2x Dreamcast's (don't know why i have 2 ?) and a few of the classic games from that time

    I founded and ran a Battlefield online gaming community for 6 years, which originally started out with BF1942, but really peaked when BF2 was released. Sadly the player numbers started to drop once the Xbox360 and PS3s started to become popular and we closed the site a few years ago, but PC gaming is definitely going through something of a resurgeance. Jealous of your old computer collection - I still have an old Mac Classic in the loft but got rid of all my old stuff (Spectrum, Atari ST, Megadrive etc.) a long time ago - wish I'd kept it. A mate of mine has just turned his original VIC20 into an emulation box using Raspberry Pi. Awesome :D

    Still trying to finish Assassins Creed 3, then I have already bought 4 to do.
    I just never get the time these days.
    May have a wee game tonight tho.
    Really wanted Forza 5 as well.
    And would love a motorbike game that had the TT course on it.

    Titanfall this Friday! Already pre-loaded it on Origin and only cost me £28 for Digital Deluxe version (which includes a Season Pass too) by using some weird Mexican origin store trick. Worked tho :)

    Played Beta a lot and enjoyed it but the lack of single player annoys me.

    I will most probably get it but once I see how people find it first

    I'm thinking of getting back into PC gaming and moving away from consoles. I've got an old Intel I3 530 based system, with a motherboard that supports PCI Express 2.0.

    I am struggling to find any newer graphics cards which aren't PCI Express 3.0. Will these be backwards compatible with PCI Express 2.0?

    Don't worry all PCI E 3.0 are backwards compatible and will work just fine

    Xbox one here....

    Dab hand at Fifa & COD, Got Forza but haven't shown it much attention yet.

    Best game I have played lately was definitely South Park - The Stick of Truth. Hilarious!

    Thanks. Just whacked some more RAM in my PC as I was only racking 4GB. Got some nice Crucial Ballistix Sport DIMMs, great price from Amazon for 8GB.
