£9 worth a go thanks @MarcJP I've never been on far cry either any good so far?

It's a good series to get into, 3 is better IMO but well worth £9!

 

[Philip.]

Anyone else's battery in the official play & charge kit last like 2 hours?
It's f**king w**k!

 

[Brand86]

Should last longer than that! Mine is 6-8 hours I'd say?

 

[Philip.]

Yeah, it lasts no longer than about 2 hours. 3 at a proper push.
Only got it at xmas too.

Duracell batteries lasted ages compared to this.

 

[Brand86]

Is it the official one? They won't last as long as an official pack but should last longer than that. Having said that I just generallly leave mine permanently cabled now to avoid any risk of it running out (usually happens right at the end of a boss in Destiny!)

I got the cheapest one on eBay I could, 2 batteries and a charging dock, lasts for at least 7-8 hours

 

[Welsh.Dan]

I'd say it's faulty Phil if it's only Christmas you got it.... mine lasts around 9

 

[Daz.]

I hadn't used mine for ages and thought it was dead as it would only last an hour! but I let it die and kept plugging it in until it finally started charging properly - it's a beast now

 

[Munson]

I still roll with Energizer Lithium AA batteries. They last forever.

 

[Philip.]

b****cks! Played with the kit in tonight, full charge lasted under 2 hours before it said batteries low.

 

[Marc.]

£10 for 32 Duracell on Amazon, Subscribe & Save. Easy.

Just looked on the Xbox Store -FIFA 16 & Madden 16 for a combined £36.30. Great price!

Rory McIlroy golf is £12!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

You'd have to pay me 12 to own a golf game.... I'd take the payment and throw the game in bin. One of the most boring sports in the world, recreated in one of the world's most boring games. [emoji14]

Fifa deal is a steal though.
Love my charge kit. Lasts ages and if it runs low I just plug into wall next to me for a while. Feels like such a waste throwing batteries away constantly.

 

[Brand86]

Yeah Marc, stop killing the planet!

I love sports but sports games don't really interest me for some reason. I'll play Fifa or a driving sim, and fun with a mate, but I prefer more escapism. And guns.

 

[Marc.]

I didn't buy Rory, golf games aren't my thing. I did download Madden 16 (I already have FIFA) and Deus Ex: Human Revolution - it's free in the Xbox store too...

 

[mace¬]

I use to love Tiger Woods. Was the reason I bought consoles. Rorys is the biggest pile of w**k I've ever played. There is no sense of achievement if you win a tournament, just rolls from hole to hole.

But you do unlock an unbranded putter / polo shirt.........

Am I also right in thinking that the clothing in Tiger Woods at least gave you a power up? The clothing in Rorys does f**k all.

I hate everything about it.

 

[Marc.]

Your scathing reviews are saving people £12 a time, @mace¬

Good on you

 

[mace¬]

No worries, I even sent a strongly worded letter by post to EA with no stamp but marked it as important.

SHould have gone for The Golf Club. Cheap, quite involved, none of the frills but user generated courses (and the epic course designer) means its got longevity. Flew under the radar for most but Ive had it since release and always having a crack.

I did look at that but not having any real courses put me off.

Might give it another look.

Mate the real courses bit isnt that important as users have recreated most courses now - even Augusta.

Im a massive golf nerd though so might not be to your taste.

Might as well bite the bullet and see how I get on. Its only £30 isn't it?

 

[mace¬]

@banther what are the swing mechanics like on the Golf Club?

 

[banther]

@banther what are the swing mechanics like on the Golf Club?

Almost same as Tiger Woods but more..... involved (draw / fade and spin). Can edit with various difficulties.

£30 is v v expenisve. Think I got it for £15 on ebay?! And that was a while back. NOt a £30 game.

 

[Scrooge]

Why oh why can't I have Spotify?!

POS.

 

[Waitey]

Took my launch console into Game to trade in and they wouldn't take it because its formatted! The documents says to format it! God sake.

Turns out they should have taken it, it just takes them time to upload the new software and they couldn't be arsed. f*****s.

Odd! They should have taken it - friend of mine traded his for the Halo 5 console and they took it formatted. Idiots!

 

[Chris V6 255]

Anybody know of any good 12 month xbox live deals? Mine runs out in a couple of days.
Sure I only paid £20 last time.

 

[Matt W]

Mine runs out too. Will let you know where I got it from last year

 

[Waitey]

After contacting them they should, its because they have to reload the new operating system to test them that they aren't interested.

Lazy staff basically.

Why you trading it in mate?

 

[Waitey]

It had some issues Microsoft can't seem to fix....

Have a search on HUKD, xbox live deals often pop up on there

Have a look on cdkeys website, pretty sure I only paid £18 for a years live last time.

 

[SharkyUK]

b****cks! Played with the kit in tonight, full charge lasted under 2 hours before it said batteries low. 😧

You've got a faulty kit there mate. Even with heavy / continuous play I'm seeing a good 8-10 hours.

 

[Brand86]

Yeah or look on ebay for them.
Having said that I was lazy this year and just bought via the Xbox store and cost £35 or something. £15 extra over the year makes no difference though!

Didn't even reach 2 hours last night!

Yeah that's where I got mine from. 30 quid now.

This is where I always get mine from, usually the cheapest about.
