I'm planning on trying to save for a Series X, or hopefully a cheaper discless version if they ever make one. As long as Starfield plays fine I'm not bothered about upgrading my Series S yet. @Wheatly I was thinking that's why Squenix is skipping Xbox because it's more work to get their games running on Series S and probably not worth the effort.

Last time I tried to get free game pass ultimate from reward points the code wouldn't work and it crashed my xbox when trying it on there. I couldn't even buy anything on the store for about five days after that, even with my own money. Had to get gold by chatting on the xbox support site and they said the game pass ultimate code didn't work because I'd already used another one in the past and should only be used once, even though I've been doing it since late last year🙃 I'm just redeeming the gift card money now instead.

I've had enough of the absolutely 💩ty redeem function on the console. Freezes when trying to redeem ultimate I got with reward points. Code won't work now when trying it on my tablet and says it can't authenticate it with my bank even though I just now paid my tv licence to make sure my card was working. Really pi55ed off.

@iplaygamesnstuff If you grind reward points you can get game pass for free. Not certain if they've nerfed points slightly this year but I haven't paid for game pass ultimate since I think around October last year. Even use the Firefox browser to search twenty times on bing and launch the game pass app and play jewel on it for the extra points everyday. I'd squeeze stones for points if I could. Every point means not paying for online.

@awp69 Lol. I signed in to ask if they're the ones that skipped xbox for some dlc. They'll probably do it again because I'll hopefully be staring at a Nazeem-type character in Starfield. Or staring at ship parts or shiny objects.

Ah well. At least grinding Sea of Thieves for the emissary rewards will pass the time. Then I've still got to finish Persona 3, start 4 and maybe buy the fifth game that's currently downloaded on game pass. But I need Starfield as it suits my play style which is slow and steady and look at shiny things because I'm easily distracted.

I only bought oreos for the Sea of Thieves cosmetics. They're crap but I ate them because I paid for them. I'd rather have a custard cream yellow series s.

Have you seen that video about if countries were a super villain? All art was done by AI. I feel game devs could use AI to get ideas about artwork for new games.

I've never bothered with it. I'm very picky about what games I buy and play nowadays. I did buy Persona 3 and 4 today though even though I'm grinding reward points for free game pass ultimate because I've already put 70 hours into Persona 3 and wanted to own it seeing as I previously owned it for ps2 and was enjoying playing it again. Been starved for games like that on Xbox lol.

I'm all in on reward points so haven't bought a game for awhile. Not paid for online too thanks to redeeming game pass ultimate for free. Last game I bought was Monster Sanctuary and before that was Shadow Man. I'm thinking about buying Persona 3 and 4 together but I'm waiting until the end of the month to see how much money I have left. I could use the money I'd normally pay the water bill with seeing as there's no more payments until April but I'm trying to see how much money I can put to the side with my second cleaning job and imagining I'm still paying some billls lol.

@jdv95 If you don't already know look up Microsoft Rewards and about game pass quests on xbox. I've not paid for game pass ultimate for months because of that but I think they recently nerfed the amount you get each month so eventually I'll probably have to pay again lol.

Looking forward to Starfield definitely. Heck I might even buy it because this week Xbox gave me 1000 reward points for missing about a week of daily points after trying and failing to redeem free game pass ultimate through the console with the code which forced me to do it on my tablet instead and for some reason locked me out of Game Pass quests even though I was subscribed and playing Persona 3. All fixed now.

@Kaloudz Glad you got a laugh. Soon they'll be saying going to sleep is woke so you must stay awake to rebel against the political climate mental programming.

**Turns off tap**
Random voice- You're woke!

I just want dates for games like Avowed and State of Decay 3 or some gameplay at least.

Seem to be a lot of xbox issues lately. I redeemed game pass ultimate with reward points and when I tried to confirm the code on my Series S the screen stayed on confirm so I had to do it on my tablet instead through the Microsoft store. Now I'm not earning game pass quest points even though I'm on ultimate. I'm right p155ed off.

Really looking forward to this. Not looking forward to not being able to sleep once it's out as I've got a second cleaning job that I do in the mornings. But meh. **insert 'let's effing go' meme here**

I saw it once through the xbox browser but only worked once. Will give it a try tonight. Love free game pass ultimate.

I rate the show rhymes-with-kite.

@Martsmall Didn't know about them lol. Are they just click and get points? I get all my exercise from stress, anxiety, cleaning job and walking my dogs and hate exercising.

Edit:Oh, where they at?

Since only realising this year I can get free ultimate I've been grinding everyday for points, including on the website through the xbox browser for the extra 5 or 10 point clicks. Not paid for online in three months. Can't wait until I have enough points for three months as I have slightly more points left than the previous month after redeeming free Ultimate.

Another thing to chuck in the bin along with dolls and nail varnish. Or to keep your 🥒and⚽️⚽️warm.

Just picked up Cyberpunk on Series S. I'll play it when I'm over my gaming slump (can't be bothered really playing anything). More bothered about Microsoft reward points for free ultimate than actually gaming🙃

@Lup It's only this year I've been seriously grinding reward points for free game pass ultimate. I had 19000-ish reward points on the 18th of October, redeemed ultimate and already have over 21000 points before the 18th of this month thanks to streak boost and the fact I was able to complete my mobile search for the 1000 points Welcome to Microsoft Rewards today by downloading the firefox browser (thanks google search) and setting bing as my search engine on it to count towards searches after signing in.
On topic, fast load times. Still waiting for the games lol.

I remember seeing Legend of Mir on Game Network years ago. Also Myth of Soma.

Phantom Abyss. I like watching the other phantoms and wondering how tf they died in some places.

Don't know about other platforms but on Series S there's an annoying fuzzy effect in the graphics where black rising lines appear. Can't really describe it but it makes the game look dirty.

Great game but really needs crossplay. I also hate when servers are split by region. Loving the old Doom/Quake vibe. I'd like a 30fps option for that Sega Saturn Quake 1 feeling.

I'm trying to play Hardspace Shipbreaker on Series S but it sometimes crashes when entering the hab to finish your shift. Luckily it autosaves but it's peeing me off so I'll wait to see if they fix it. Praise game pass or I'd be even more pi55ed having spent money on a crashy game.

@Carck If anything it makes me wish I was a nerd so I could develop games. I'd have more fun testing things in a test room than actually playing the game properly.

I'm just messin' (not a console warrior) but it's funny seeing hardcore playstation fanboys beat their chests about exclusive games and telling people to buy a PlayStation if they want to play **another never on xbox third party game** then **sounds like witch** and moan when Xbox gets a short timed exclusive.

To all the people moaning about Starfield, shut up because it's not an established ip. I don't do console wars but a certain section of you really are hypocritical when it comes to exclusivity.

Does anyone else just search numbers 1-30 on Bing? I can't do the mobile searches because it doesn't register on my 💩ty amazon tablet.

Melee combat or gtfo. Can't have pirates with just ships and cannons without cutlasses and at least a pistol if there's third person on-foot in the game. Might've just made the third person on-foot parts just menu based instead.

I used what points I had to buy Black Flag this week. Annoyed it isn't frame boosted but I think 30fps suits the look and feel of it.

I don't go hardcore for reward points but I've started doing that streak poll since last week. Also like when I get points just searching on bing.

Currently flitting between Tunic (amazing game) and Yakuza Kiwami on Game Pass. I bought it for ps2 years ago but after the murder bit I swapped it for something else. Bad habit when I used to buy physical games.
Also doing the odd sea fort on Sea of Thieves as I find them relaxing for some reason.

Won my first crown yesterday on that final round where the floor disappears. I wanted that green skin.

Wish I got one. I've got one before once last year. Would've saved me the £1 I spent yesterday for 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate😅 Can't complain though because my Gold would've ran out today and I was thinking about waiting until next month to buy gold because I'm literally skint.

@Titntin I was like 'WTF!?' I'm not really into Forza but even I feel duped.

I've seen a tweet saying the Forza Motorsport footage was actually captured on PC but would look similar on Xbox Series X according to the developers.

Starfield. That's the only game I'll be buying next year.

Currently staring at a frozen Fallout 4 on my Series S. Part of Xbox but still haven't fixed it. Can't finish it due to all the crashing/freezing in certain areas. No mods just a few creation club things. I'll be mega p1553d if it happens on Starfield.

Hey Cortana, wanna see another type of ring?🍑

I wonder which community is being toxic.......⬛🔴🔺❌

It really annoys me that they come up with all these different colours for their consoles yet you can't buy them because they stuck on a picture and made it winnable only. I want a Series S the same colour as that blue controller for Xbox One. Multiple colours would make them more appealing to people with little bra -....I mean kids.

I would be hype but on the day to watch it I'd either have to put up with loud music from my neighbours, or my dog will come running into my room leaving a trail of p155 behind him so until then, I'm not anything so I don't jinx it. Being wished a good weekend at work has resulted in one or both those things happening.

At this rate I won't need to buy State of Decay 3 because I'll be decaying in a coffin. It's like Xbox studios place one blade of grass down a day in their games then go home.

If Nightmare Creatures is available to buy on its own then I'm buying it. Randomly popped into my head last week and now I want to play it. Played the demo years ago and I think I played it on a chipped ps1 once. I miss ps1/Saturn days.
