A Bomb: Xbox Game Pass on PC is infuriating me recently, I have a Gigabit download speed, but the damn app only downloads with 20MB/s when the maximum is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 140MB/s, what is this? 1998? Do I have to tell my neighbours to get off the phone or something? Give me my 140MB/s!
Da Bomb: Goes to Exoprimal, weird one I know, it hasn't been well received, but I am playing through Game Pass but the only problem ExoPrimal has is the price tag, it is a good game, it's a fun experience, just not for the price they are asking. A match takes about 10-15 minutes max, and so it is a good game where you play 2-3 matches an evening and have some fun killing masses of dinosaurs.
