Halucigens

Flight Sim for me. First time It's been on console. I would of put Rare for their continuous free updates to Sea of Thieves turning that game into a true gem.

It’s always great when publishers and developers listen to the consumer. NFTs don’t bother me if they are handled correctly. Could be a way for companies to pay artists after their creation is over so they can get royalties from the sales. Anything that pays artists what they are worth makes me happy.

Just finished halo so I could start this. Really easy and comforting game. Visuals have a great style to them and I like just going around a new planet and finding out about it and rehabbing the world and getting upgrades. Very simple, perfect for children and if you like this game play loop.
Maybe do an article on the Xbox reviews of this game. Very very disheartening.

It’s good that they are listening and providing wry valuable updates and also giving us time frames while looking out for their developers. I personally think it’s just cosmetics and pay what you want for them. It doesn’t affect gameplay and the gameplay for multi and single player is really amazing. You can only wear one load out at a time too. Just have fun and the cosmetics shouldn’t have a value on your entertainment. This is a way for them to pay for the development and for the game to thrive and succeed and for them to release further content.

This looks awesome!

@Stoned_Patrol It got pushed to February.

I’m enjoying it a lot. Grapple hook really makes combat fluid. I’m loving the open world and how it ties in well with the story. Still feels like a halo game too.

I actually really like this marketing. It adds to Microsoft's ability to not take it all super serious. It was fun when we were speculating about outriders coming to game pass day one.

Definitely an A for me. Loved the whole year. Had some fantastic experiences with strangers and friends/family online. Game pass keeps giving and Microsoft rewards is paying for my sub and more. Glad I made the switch.

Super cute game. Fun building towns.

Townscaper came out too. Download games early from the game pass app.

@Fiendish-Beaver I did forgotten city. When you are going to learn about the golden rule steal from a chest and race back to the portal. Probably about 20 minutes in.

@SacredPYRO I had issues last month but had no issue with this one.

Very huge list. I hope this fixes the issue of the loadouts not working and having to make a new loadout in game. I hope they start rolling out new maps in conquest. 7 is okay but needs more variety. Need boats. Game is really fun and funny at times but some design choices and bugs are laughably negligent. I'll keep playing though with friends.

This looks fun and I'll be checking it out.

I hated Wilmot's Warehouse because I work in a warehouse. It's interesting to see how long some games last on game pass and what curation is like.

Pretty funny. Doesn't look like me too much but still made me chuckle. Can imagine people putting hilarious photos in here. We would of loved this as a kid/teenager.

@BlueOcean Haven came out in December of last year and call of the sea in January I recall. Both good games I didn't complete but I enjoyed the game play and story telling.

One of my favorite games. My buddy and I are already thinking of ways to have fun with the new season. Free huge updates! Fireworks and cannon row boats are going to be insane.

I got a game pass/ xbox email last week that said townscaper was on game pass. I see no mention of this and I don't think it's even on xbox yet. I'm always excited to try out all game pass games.

Yeah we really liked this trailer at my home. They really touched on the scope of war from families, to military to taking risks. Very well done in three minutes.

Very well done. Being able to play skate 2 again with two other people that grew up with it was amazing. If they can develop a new system to even bring more over would be much appreciated. No other console publisher is doing this work.

I want to buy all my friends a series s. Perfect to play games with them and a step up from the last generation and the switch.

I don't find too much of an issue with it because if you are seriously making highlights and/or streaming there is much better options then the console. For what I do which is share photos and little vids it does its job. Could be better but I remember doing highlights on the 360 of my gears matches. Talk about nonsensical setups to get that working properly.

Yeah most works deserve to just be in their intended medium. When they eventually move to another medium, what made them special is a few to a lot of years off and the rest of culture has caught up. Sci Fi and Comic Books come to mind. But if someone came up to me with a few million for the rights to my work (I'm open for sale) I'd cash that check as fast as possible.

Some aspects of the game are really fun especially with friends. Some aspects aren't fun like being a certain level to unlock equipment to take down vehicles. Then their are the aspects that make no sense like not being able to choose your loadout in the menu. Also flying vehicles killing you instantly while zooming and jerking around. When I'm in a gunner role in a helicopter I can hardly aim straight and the jostling is too much.

I think this was a random draw for people that signed up for the fan fest. Pretty cool stuff. Xbox keeps delivering. Just got my design lab controllers in 9 days and they are so cool.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is highly rated. Orcs must die and The Escapist 2 are as well. Good haul will gladly take free games. Even if I just demo them on my home entertainment system.

@hbkay Yeah that is why I love it. Try a bunch of games that if I payed full price I might be bitter about. Found a ton of gems that more then make up for the game pass that I pay for with my Microsoft rewards.

Or maybe just wear what you like because there is no reason to have all the cosmetics? You can only wear one "costume" or "armor" at a time.

@mac70 You might have to buy it on another regions store. Not sure, don't quote me but here's the link

https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Ridge-Racer-6/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024e4d07d3

@raftos No problem. Takes some tinkering and searching to find this stuff. I mostly just put [title] + xbox in a search engine and the b/c marketplace is one of the top results. Good luck

@raftos https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/FEAR-2/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802575207d3

I only found 2. Make sure you purchase it on a PC because I was trying to get Skate 2 on my phone and it wouldn't go through. Worked perfectly on my laptop.

I got to play Skate 2 for the first time in 10 years with by partners brother over the weekend. We had such a blast from the past. Thanks for the effort and time!

I think Microsoft Rewards is enough and the only real reason I chase achievements. It's nice checking them out and going for a few but I just don't see how getting a digital trophy really means anything. There are already achievement hunters on Xbox. If it helps ease the pain of PlayStation fanatics crossing over into Xbox then I guess I really don't care either way. Just seems a bit pointless to want a digital trophy but maybe they can make them into NFT's and you can visit your VR Salvation Army and collect other people platinum trophies in 10 years for 10 cents.

Yeah I got an email so I could get this bundle through Microsoft. Really tempted to get it for my nephew. Also got an email for an x which I got for a friend who couldn’t get one. He paid.

Platinum Games make really great games but they really don't have any time management over there.

@SplooshDmg I thought 2 and 4 had the most compelling stories in the series. I thought 5 really took the series elsewhere and it was needed and I thought it left us in a great place for another story.

@StonyKL I use my Microsoft reward points to pay for my game pass ultimate every month.

@SplooshDmg That's what my second play through will be. I want to rush the story in a day or two before the memes/spoilers hit the internet. It was hard for me to want to play 4 and 5 because I heard so much negativity surrounding them. Then I played them and cried during 4 and was shocked during 5.

@OldgamerDave I've beaten a lot of them on legendary but I went back over last summer and breezed through all of them just to get the story and get back into sci fi fps. There is still some rough parts.

Definitely going to rush the campaign when it launches to get the story. Then have a replay for the open world experiments. Try and run legendary on coop with 4 of us web slinging around.

@OldgamerDave If you have the time I would play through all of the Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 Guardians just for the story and to get into the pacing and gameplay finesse. If you play it on easy you could probably finish all 6 games in 30-40 hours.

I got an X and an S. Great for my partner and I. Great for multitasking. I kind of want to get all my nephews an S series so I can game with them. Not much difference between the two if you are a kid.

@SplooshDmg I just got the 923. I have to relearn the whole game over again. Really great just driving around though. Lost a few hours.

You get 6 months to complete the battle pass. I've gotten 5 levels just from playing

@SplooshDmg Definitely agree with this. I just brought all my volumes up and the voice volume is about 60%. I got in a huge argument with my best friend yesterday over the halo season progression. He jumped on the reddit hive mind and I've been playing 3-4 hours a day. He hasn't even played but was complaining about the slow progression. It all baffles me. It's an open world racing game. People are playing this for the dialogue?

Can be a ton of fun and in the next match it can be extremely infuriating. I think the maps being huge is great. Need to find a balance with the vehicles and maybe not have late level unlocks be extremely important in taking down said vehicles. Like anti tank mines. Excited to see where they take it. The structure is solid.

I can’t believe sea of thieves isn’t nominated for ongoing game. With season passes, the pirates of the Caribbean content and underwater dungeons.

I use youtube a lot and never have I ever gotten premium. Guess I'll see what all the fuss is about.

Excited to try Exo One with the Phillip Hue light system.
