How does Xbone backcompat work? I seem to recall that the game gets installed to your HDD, even if you own the disk. But does it install frol the disk, or does it just download the whole thing from the internet, regardless of you owning the disk?

I'l asking because I prefer owning a physical copy, but if the game needs a dowbload to work anyway, there's no point in bothering with tracking the games down.

It’s probably a partial download.  I really hate this trend with games now.  I want everything on a disc.

Xbox One backwards compatibility downloads the entire game from the internet. The disc is just used to check for the security code to make sure you have a legitimate copy of the game.

That's cool. At least MS aren't requiring people to repurchase the digital file. 👍

Anyone here have an Xbox One X? Just curious if it has a similar feature to PS4 Pro's Boost mode for improving framerates on older games without a 4K patch?

Indeed.

I don’t have an Xbox One X myself but I’m pretty sure that the X automatically provides a boost to any game regardless of a 4K patch or not. This includes any backwards compatible game from the original Xbox and 360.

That's balls Uneasy so the only incentive for trackibg a physical copy down is to find it cheaper than it is being currently sold for in the Xbone store...

Ah well, still happy with my new copy of Halo 4 for €5.

Think I'll also pick up ME:Andromeda (€15) and Destiny2 (€10), both new. Does Destiny have a single player playable campaign?

Mass Effect Andromeda and Titanfall 2 are both really good gets for their cheap prices. Titanfall 2 is currently going for $6 US in the Microsoft Spring sale event on XBL Marketplace.

Had my first proper switch experience out in the wild with my nephew. We played tabletop mode Mario Kart 8, his first time playing it. He was pretty good, rarely went off road and he loved it.

Thanks for the tip, although it's €10 when you don't have XBL Gold. I think I'll get that Gold deal of 3 months for €8, play the witness while it's free, get MHW to play online for a couple of months and shop around for some good deals. I'll have a sizeable backlog in no time and for near to no money as well.

Browsing through lists of Xbox games just goes to show how violent and boring 'mainstream' gaming is to me though. It's all burly men looking angry and things going very fast.

Lindsey Lohan Loses Legal Lawsuit . Say it three times fast.

Doesn't looks anything like her the dumb bitch. It actually looks a lot like Alexis Texas though. And Kate Upton.

Hilarious video of Jeff Goldblum being completely lost about anything videogame related, while all the while kind of hitting on Aiofe from Eurogamer:
