How did you manage to get Brazilian XBL to work?

VPN, which is the risk.  The risk that the server can see through your VPN and the code becomes useless.  It's known to happen (in a thread that I saw).  People who want to play it safe, get the EU code.

You use VPN on your computer and add the code via the website in the computer, not on the console.

You make sure you turn off automatic renewal and decline bonus months as it will take it over the 36 months, meaning after 2 codes, instead of 24, you will have like 26 months.  and the last code for 12 months cannot be stacked.  Max stacked total is 36.

If you do it the EU code, then it's about £120.

Jeez. Easier to move to Brazil!

Pardon me helping a fellow forum members to save over £300 to get the same thing!

Completed little nightmares.

As expected, it's a bunch of ideas and thoughts drenched in atmosphere. Gameplay is pretty awful but that's not really the point.

Quite enjoyed them. I wish there was a bit more story, it seems (from doing some digging) there is more story in related media such as comics and books, but the game communicates basically none of it.

Xbox Series S is on order. Unfortunately I won't be able to play it for at least 2 months because I go away tomorrow.

Fingers crossed the Game Pass Ultimate workaround still works when I get back.

In the meantime, I'm looking for recommendations for same-console co op games to play with the other half, and general recommendations for great games to play myself.

I'm already looking forward to playing Forza Horizon, Halo, and Jedi Fallen Order.

Did you know…..you can play a lot of the Gamepass game through your phone via streaming?

New stunt races on GTA V are pretty good.

As a Warhammer 40k nerd, I’m very excited about Hired Gun coming out tomorrow. My only concern is that it’s by the same team who did Deathwing… which had loads of atmosphere and details, but shockingly poor gameplay. 

Give me Space Marine 2!

Finished Uncharted: Lost Legacy at the weekend. Very enjoyable and quite a bit longer than I expected.  I will go back and replay Uncharted 4 at some point, hopefully after it gets a 60fps patch for PS5.

Also finished Luigi's Mansion 3, which I'd got 90% through a year ago but stopped for some reason or other. Fantastic game right through.

Looking forward to Star Wars Squadrons on PS+ this month (and very glad I didn't buy it in the last sale!). Also very much looking forward to Ratchet & Clank which feels like the first really proper "next gen" release - only a couple of weeks away

Yep, looks good! I'm excited for Darktide, the 40k Vermintide

I must give Luigi's mansion another spin. I played through it but nowhere near completed it.

I played through Ori and the Will of the Wisps, really enjoyed it and it was much less frustrating than Ori and the blind forest.

Oh do you paint at all? I got back into it a couple of years ago..currently got an imperial knight in subassemblies on my desk in various states of paintedness.

Yeah, LM3 is really great. I have Ori & BLind Forest I think but i haven’t played it. I actually have a bunch of indie stuff on Switch I really must get around to trying

No, I don't have the time or patience for that

I'm a huge lore nut though - read loads of the books, have the artbooks as well. Currently re-reading the Ravenor trilogy before moving onto the Bequin series and the new book.

Incidentally, Necromunda: Hired Gun is a buggy mess - which is unfortunately just as I expected.

Doh.. just bought Hired Gun, should have waited.. how bad is it?

For anyone that hasn’t seen it, GAME are doing a great trade in deal to get a Series S. Pretty much take in any old PS4 or Xbox and you can buy a Series S for £100. I got one yesterday. 

There’s also a deal on Game pass ultimate. I got the first 3 months for £1.

I’m really impressed with the amount of content on game pass. Hard to know what to play first! Thinking I’ll go retro and start with Banjo Kazooie or maybe Conkers Bad Fur Day.

They released a patch last night which seems to have improved several bits, came with a statement saying they working on patching a few of the bigger glitches.
Still, done the first couple of missions and it's pretty fun. Worst part is that my character is apparently from Wakefield...
