General Videogame Thread

Recently finished Shadow of Mordor. Excellent game. I rarely can be bothered finishing games.

Ive had Metal Gear Solid 5 in my downloads free with gold for some time. Don't know how I missed this one. 5 or 6 hours in and loving it.
 
Microsoft have confirmed mouse and keyboard support is coming to the Xbox
Does this keyboard and mouse mean a windows lite or a new OS aimed at entertainment for Xbox hardware? Like it or not, if that's the goal it might end up being a selling point for some people who don't really want too many devices cluttering up their living room, for the typical use they get out of them.

It's funny, when they first entered the market the know it alls were scoffing: "It's just off the shelf PC parts and they'll release windows with it and a keyboard and mouse"

Cut to today and most gamers have realised as far as GPUs go(and CPUs IMO) it would be stupid not to use the two main vendors known for those "off the shelf PC parts", even Sony have finally stopped forcing devs to waste tons of R&D just to release games on convoluted-gimmicky hardware, only to have to start all over again the next gen. It seems like a no-brainer to leverage what they have on the PC market now.

Having said that, it might just mean they want to release more PC type games, that would not normally work on a console.

Imagine trying to place an RTS on your 50 inch telly sat well far away would drive me mad.

Haha, sit closer then. ;)

I can't really say any of the typical games I used to play really needed a mouse and keyboard personally, although for FPS games the mouse is way more accurate than an analogue stick.

Mouse and Keyboard will smash any one in an FPS game. Controller is only good for driving games imo, I use it for Rocket League. Not touched my xbox for months now just a shite old outdated thing.

Not sure keyboard and mouse will be used for FPS games. There are a few RTS out for console now like Cities Skylines and grand strategy games are coming soon with Stellaris being the first. So I think it'll be for them first. Also Xbox has a full internet browser which is tricky to use with controller so a mouse and keyboard will be useful for that

Honestly mate if they allow keyboard and mouse on xbox people will get smashed in FPS and cry. No controller compares.
