    3 month subs were €14.79 on cdkeys last i checked,buying 4 and getting a year for €60 isnt too bad as a fall back.

    Are DLC's included with most games? Would love to play Stellaris with all the new content, but not willing to spend a decent chuck of change on it right now.

    From what I've seen it's just the base game unless it specifically says so.

    The DLC is included with the Stellaris on Xbox One version, there is no PC version from what I can see :)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,682 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    There is a PC version and yes its on game pass.

    @Kiith id say if you go with the ultimate sub you will get all DLC, thats how it was with other games when i had ultimate.

    I thought that only applied to first party games like Gears 5.

    It doesn't show up in the Xbox (Beta) app anyway! :(

    Shows for me now when I search!
    It didn't last night, even though I only posted in the thread this morning :)

    Odd that the Xbox version comes with the addons and the PC version doesn't.

    Sweet, the gift that keeps on giving.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,582 ✭✭✭Glebee


    My trial of this is almost coming to an end, anyone see any good deals to keep it going. Since theres also an xbox in the house it makes sence to renew ultimate i guess. Best deal I can see at the moment is 3 months for 21euro.

    No UFC or Fight Night yet?

    Highly unlikely to see EA sports games going in when EA have their own subscription service I would have thought.

    Are they available for PC? Dont see them on Origin.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    They never made it onto the PC, only on the consoles AFAIK.

    Witcher 3, Remnants from the ashes and Rage 2 are console only

    Edit: Rage 2 is on pc


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


    hahahahahah just to highlight how stupid these services and I am, i bought AOE2DE completley forgot who was making it. Like fcuking DUH of course it would be on game pass.


    Suppose i can still play it after next feb now :/


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,055 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Hah, i was just about to pre-order the MCC until i remembered it would be on Game Pass on day 1.

    The service really is good value for money. Fair play to Microsoft for finally bringing a good service to the PC.

    Only issue I have with it was using the xbox chat with a friend over text and talking about a particularly hard time he is going through (domestic abuse) and I ended up getting a ban for a day.

    It looks like Microsoft are monitoring everything said over the app so be careful what you say.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,569 ✭✭✭EoinHef


    Not sure id pay the regular price of €14.99 a month for it but with all the discounts its a bargain

    Oh dear. I wonder does that apply to Xbox console aswell.

    I still use steam chat when im on it. Just aswell.

    I am not sure as my friend didn't get any action and he was on an xbox console and I was on the webapp but the enforcement was on both my console and web app.

    The content of our conversation was private but it was fairly raw as the subject matter was adult orientated as he was describing a violent incident.

    Lesson here is be careful what you say over the text chat as could lead to an easy ban for you and there is no real way to dispute.

    What does my age have to do with anything? it was a private chat over an app with a friend.

    I normally wouldnt use it but he just happened to ping me on it.
