Zantra you seem like a well-meaning person, so I hope you'll indulge me if I pass along two small bits of wisdom that I've picked up along the way: 1) the smartest people in the world confer with each other and learn from each other; you are not 'losing' by allowing others to shape your opinion...

I'd actually recommend Dell monitors if you find a good sale. I've been using them for over a decade now, and a quality Dell panel will give you great performance. Monitors also last a really long time, so it's worth spending a bit more, no matter what brand you decide on. The big craze...

Just a quick heads up that Into the Breach is one of the PC Gamepass titles leaving April 15th.   It doesn't support gamerscore, but if you like turn-based strategy games, it's a very quick download and well worth checking out.   Fans of strategy board games, chess-like planning, or the devs...

Not too many since GamePass has really started to bring it, but I did pre-order Borderlands 3 for Day 1, and same with Cyberpunk 2077. A couple others I bought on great pre-order discounts, with the intent to break even on a quick trade-in flip, but those weren't breaking the rules :beer: .

I sometimes experience the same thing and over the years can usually pin it down to one of four things: 1) burnout: sometimes I'll play a game like crazy for days, or even weeks on end, but then when I put it down don't even feel like playing it, or any other game, again for a while. After...

That's my understanding at least. Windows 10 implemented differential patching a couple years back but xbox was not included. Not sure if it was the way xbox handles licensing/encryption or what. Perhaps Microsoft has since changed the way xbox handles patching as well, but to me it's the...

It's because a game update on PS4 will actually edit existing files, while on xbox Microsoft insists on replacing the entire file. So if a huge library or graphics pack has one small change, the xbox will replace the entire thing. Depending on the number of files a patch touches it can make a...

Apologies to those who've heard me upvote this game before, but I got Homefront after the devs had spent a lot of time patching it and personally really liked it. 100% completed it actually. Aside from being a decent shooter with some interesting weapon mods, I think my favorite thing about it...

I would say keep going. I'm a fan of the source material and I was confused as well, but if you persevere, it will become clear and you may be tempted to queue it up a second time.

Plague Inc: Evolved is priced well and I feel like I've been waiting a long time for it to go on sale (though I might have missed one).  Going to pick that up.

Ashamedly, it's already been in my backlog for 2.5yrs where it is likely to stay forever.

If you look on the store, GamePass games and GwG will still give you the option to buy it, if you don't already own it. One thing to watch out for though with SoM, is I believe there was also a GOTY edition of this game which you may have purchased, and you should look that up separately.

I bought Frostpunk on PC before Christmas (should have known it would go gamepass someday...) and it's a lot of fun. There are different difficulty levels - I think I was playing on normal and found it a decent challenge but fair. If you like base-building or resource management games I suspect...

1,183 Achievements 33,793 GamerScore 23 Games Completed Was a pretty good year for gaming and a lot of the credit from my perspective goes to GamePass Ultimate.  Initially I was digging into the Xbox titles it offered, and kept up with a lot of the rewards challenges, and then towards the end...

Interesting sale.  There are a couple things I'm sort of looking at like Prey:Mooncrash and Burnout Paradise Remastered but they go on sale so frequently there's no hurry.  Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered is on my watch list but feels like a GwG or Gamepass candidate. Never even heard of...

You can also convert the bladderfish to water in the synthesizer. These fish swim around close to the ship with the peepers. Gold is a bit tough to come by, but the deeper caves sometimes reveal silver and gold when you break the sandstone outcroppings. I like Subnautica quite a bit, but...

Within one's economic means, I think it's crazy not to purchase at least a few of your favorite shows or movies, whether physical media or digitally.  No way do I want to be at the mercy of the cable company when it comes to re-watching a personal favorite with a new friend, bringing it on...

I got it with GCU + the $10 bonus so wasn't too worried about the cost side of things. I remember from the E3 demo the guy was doing a little climbing with force manipulation of a fan and so on, I just didn't think it would be so heavy on those elements. I figured it would be more lightsaber...

I've only played the intro mission for Jedi Fallen Order so far, but I sincerely hope there isn't nearly as much jumping and traversal in the game going forward.  I feel like I'm playing Tomb Raider or Assassin's Creed rather than a Jedi game :-(

It's not the xbox sale some of us have been waiting for, but Rebel Galaxy is now free on the Epic Games store if you have a gaming PC: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/rebel-galaxy/home
