I haven't dl'ed FM5 yet since my Gold expired but just for verification the Car Pass and VIP Membership aren't part of the GOTY edition, right?

The GwG page (here) lists it as "Forza Motorsport 5: Racing Game of the Year Edition" (here) which only includes the base game and the "Forza Motorsport 5 Top Gear Car Pack."

Hey, that's not fair at all. I'll have you know that season 13 has one episode that's kind of good!

PS4 talk? That's a paddlin'.

Buying games for full price? That's a paddlin'.

Simpsons past season 12? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.

 
All I remember Undertow for is being a game they gave away 10 years ago after the holiday release of COD4 wrecked Xbox live.


Edit
Re: Simpsons, I have seasons 1-10 in DVD and the only episode I feel I'm missing is the "Behind The Laughter" spoof. So one episode over the course of 17 years.

And paddlin' the school canoe.... that's a paddlin'

I bought it last time it was $3.75 hoping it'd go BC, really happy about this.

Once in awhile there's a funny gag or a decent episode that gets a lot of media attention, but more than anything, they've been on the air so long I can't fathom how they still come up with new material. Voice actors aside, virtually all of the people involved in creating the original show when it was at it's height have moved on. It's kind of like a band who lost all original members except the vocalist, the voice is familiar but the music just isn't the same.

I officially gave up on modern-era Simpsons when they started doing Family Guy-style cutaway gags, that's not what I want in that show.

Small game changer right here. However, part of what he mentions in the video is that "but the Xbox One wouldn't need to download all the 4K textures for FM7 that the Xbox One X would need." I was under the impression that only the Xbox One X console would be able to download those larger files because it is the only console that can do anything with them. Or are they now giving that previously mentioned aspect a name in this video?

EDIT - "Chunks" is not a good name.

I recall hearing you could choose to download the One X files to any Xbox in an attempt to "prep" for a transfer to the One X from OG or S.

Oh sweet. We're doing Simpsons talk! Hell yeah to this!

I Think it's telling when Simpsons is bad is when even the Treehouse of Horror's are running out of ideas. By season 13 onward it feels they definitely begin getting away from the horror, Twilight Zone and other aspects just so they can directly poke at the then current pop culture, which makes it feel really dated. More so than even the earlier seasons.

Also current Simpsons after season 12 is bad and people should feel bad for liking it especially with their full blown celebrity worship episodes. I Know it started earlier (that goddamn Kid Rock episode), but it just got so ridiculous with majority of celebrities adding nothing to the story, not even a good joke, but just a "HEY! Look at who we got!"

Speaking Of BC, you guys think Team Ninja will ever bring the Ninja Gaiden series over?
Click to expand...
Just looked up a list of Koei Tecmo's 360 games, and zero of them are BC, so I'd say chances are low. They haven't done any remasters either, that Warriors crossover we got from GWG was a port, as was DOA 5.

I played a Virtual On cabinet finally and I'd say that's worth checking out. Hopefully the version we had in the US becomes BC too. Hoping Saints Row 3 means Saints Row 2 is on the horizon.

Small game changer right here. However, part of what he mentions in the video is that "but the Xbox One wouldn't need to download all the 4K textures for FM7 that the Xbox One X would need." I was under the impression that only the Xbox One X console would be able to download those larger files because it is the only console that can do anything with them. Or are they now giving that previously mentioned aspect a name in this video?

EDIT - "Chunks" is not a good name.

I was with The Simpsons since the beginning and can remember my family watching that first episode. I was pretty obsessed as a kid and still watched into my early adult years. With that said The Simpsons is other than maybe Star Wars the most overrated pop culture entity in existence.

Oh sweet. We're doing Simpsons talk! Hell yeah to this!

I Think it's telling when Simpsons is bad is when even the Treehouse of Horror's are running out of ideas. By season 13 onward it feels they definitely begin getting away from the horror, Twilight Zone and other aspects just so they can directly poke at the then current pop culture, which makes it feel really dated. More so than even the earlier seasons.

Also current Simpsons after season 12 is bad and people should feel bad for liking it especially with their full blown celebrity worship episodes. I Know it started earlier (that goddamn Kid Rock episode), but it just got so ridiculous with majority of celebrities adding nothing to the story, not even a good joke, but just a "HEY! Look at who we got!"

Is anyone else having problems with games not appearing in your ready to download queue? Examples - bought Condemned and had a few of today's BC games. But they don't show up. I can just go and look them up in store then download them. Just curious.

when I bought destiny 2 earlier this week it took about 20 minutes for it to show up did eventually

 
I think this is a bad sign for Bethesda's Creation Club. The two items we know they developed have been made temporarily free to try to entice people into trying it out. I'm not reinstalling Fallout just to grab these, but it's probably still worth doing if you're interested in these armor. I know I and some other people were willing to give the system the benefit of the doubt once we heard how they were doing things, but now that mods are out and the limitations have come to light I'm avoiding this like the plague.

Somehow I owned that Undertow game already so that's good, I guess. Pissed I never grabbed SR3 when it was GWG though. I'll have to wait to catch a sale on it now.

A couple people keep going off topic and posting about video games. Sigh, who needs dedicated forums when you can use every opportunity to keep your echo chamber at full blast?

If you haven't seen it, or something similar, this video does a great job of explaining why people think the Simpsons lost its way and how that manifested.

The Intelligent Delivery is a cool new process to shed off unwanted game, say not having to get the cutscenes and single player levels art assets downloaded if you're just gonna play multiplayer of said game. Inversely, I wish I could have gotten just the single player assets and changes for Starcraft II. I couldn't care less about that game's multiplayer but it's constantly updated for the eSports scene. If this becomes a thing for future titles I'll enjoy being able to get what I want from the game and not what I don't want. It's interesting and I wonder if this originated from Halo 5, which you may know has a lofty 1st initial update which is basically the multiplayer component of the game.

Really though, HD textures and high quality audio take up a big portion of a game so sheding off unnecessary art assets is a cool feature. I remember when I wanted to hop into Battlefield 4 in the beginning and how long it took to set everything up, which also included downloading and installing the HD texture pack. This could ultimately be cut in half or all together just postponed to a later update while you go touring the single player campaign.

Ryse and Wolfenstein were other major offenders. I remember Jim Sterling saying like a year or two ago that he found out from developers, that early this gen, Sony was forcing them to claim that you could actually start playing X or Y game once the download/install reached a certain percentage on PS4 when it reality, the most you could do was get to the main menu.

This was back when many people were under the impression the PS4 was made with alien technology (remember the "PS4 is 40% more powerful than XB1" thing that was clearly and deliberately taken out of context just to keep pounding on the XB1 because it was the cool thing to do?). Therefore this "Intelligent Delivery" sounds very good but we'll have to wait to find out if third-party developers are willing to use it.

At least we know Bungie won't use it for Destiny 2 or 3 since they're unable/unwilling to even acknowledge the 1X's existence.

That Simpsons video is the perfect balance of pop culture and academic analysis, I'm in love.

 
Hello all you Fortniters, well a few of you. I made a thread for the game over on the Xbox boards because nobody else has!?

Played some more Battle Royale mode and got farther than first attempt but ultimately got taken out by the player who had the better weaponry. Hmmm

 
I have the GWG Saints Row the Third downloaded game as well as the Saints Row the Third: The Full Package discs. Is there any way to move the DLC from the disc to the Xbox One?

Anyone else having issues looking at the cheevo list for whatever game you're playing with the new dash? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it acts like I haven't unlocked any and won't even bring up the list.

I have had issues recently. It seems to be working ok the last I checked (about a week ago).

Very true, it'll have to speak volumes, he he, before 3rd party makers use it.
The latest game to do what you talked about was DiRT 4. It let's you play it while it's downloading and installing the game but you're limited to messing around in DirtFish Academy.
