    Downloading now.
    Loved these games. Mechwarrior 3 in particular was awesome.

    I have a vague memory of playing a mechwarrior game many years ago, playstation 1 maybe? Going to try this one out anyway

    Fairly cheesy dialogue in it so far. Don't know if i like it or not.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,562 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Not sure why, but i didn't enjoy Mechwarrior 5. Felt really weak, and lacked the impact that i remember from the earlier games.

    Does anyone know a quick and easy way of adding these games to steam.
    Want to stream them via steam link.

    Its an absolute pox.

    I tried with Killer Instinct and took ages to get it working.

    You can fangle some games onto it but its not easy.

    Edit forgot to tell you the easy way, a HDMI cable.

    I picked up a steam link cheap ages ago. Only used it a few times, i could never get it working well.
    This xbox ultimate really is brilliant and i love the cross over between xbox and pc

    Just did a reinstall and it worked then.

    Playing Gears tactics on it at the moment, have to say enjoying so far. I got a free 3 month sub with my cpu purchase. I think i might extend for another few months.

    Been messing around with this again despite saying I might not play again. It running very poorly for me on PC. Anyone else struggling to get this running right. Its looks woefull even on relatively high settings.


  • Posts: 1,847 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It does struggle now and then but i play on Medium settings now and it's usually ok.

    I've been meaning to play those.

    I know Gothic armada 2 is on gamepass now but I like playing the whole game series.

    Does anyone else have problems trying to start Halo MCC on this? It just won't launch for me now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,424 ✭✭✭.G.


    I did. Had to delete the download and re do it.

    There goes the best value for games around

    As of 17 September 2020, Xbox Game Pass for PC is ending introductory pricing and exiting Beta. As we are ending our introductory pricing, your recurring 3-month subscription fee is increasing from €11.99 to €29.99; existing subscribers will keep their current subscription fee for 30 days. You will be charged the new price your first billing cycle after 17 October 2020

    hard to justify keeping it for that pricing for me anyway

    Wont be paying the myself.
    While I still think its good value I just don't think i could justify it
    For 12quid a month it was easy to ignore it being taken out month, 30 quid would make me have to factor it in with monthly bills :pac: I hate being broke haha
    I don't use it enough either but like I said 12quid was easy to just forget about it.

    And 3 month game pass ultimate codes go on sale for half that regularly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Just to confirm you can do that €1 more than one (3 times for me) its not limited to 1st time users only so you dont have setup loads of accounts.

    Tenner a month is still by far the best value around for any digital service.
