Careful....don’t be throwing around the p-racey word around here. I’m pretty sure it’s against forum rules but then again I’m not a mod. Interesting read otherwise though!

I looked at the rules and it just says not to provide direct links or tell people how to get it. I was just stating that it is likely coming. I'll remove that part of the post if a mod wants me to.

What site is giving that survey? Xbox game store or Microsoft game store? Been browsing the xbox store on my phone but no survey.
Click to expand...
look up dark souls remastered on microsoft and click around a few times (between the versions of dark souls)

let it sit about 20 seconds between clicks

 
This survey talk all sounds like a lot of work for $5.  Of course, I have continually wasted time checking sale prices and scouring clearance shelves for years to save a few dollars here or there, so to each there own...

 
Tried using edge, and the survey popped up, but no idea how to proceed with it. It opened another page that says the survey will proceed once I finish my visit. How do I do that?

Leave the page you were on the xbox store to 'finish your visit.' Took me longer than it should have to figure that out.

Just make sure to leave the survey window open and then close out the Xbox site and then the survey window will update.

You should have another chance at 9pm Eastern tonight for the North America part of the stream. The 3pm stream was EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). Last time, the same quests were active for both. Don't remember if the time watched carried over.

Holy cow I didn't even know they did the Forza stream rewards like they do GOW? When did they start doing that? Always?

Forza is live now, GOW in an hour I think...
Click to expand...
First I knew of the Forza streams was 2 Wednesdays ago someone posted in the freebies thread. That might've been the first one. They're scheduled for every other Wednesday. Can't find the link now, it seems every page on the Forza championship site either doesn't load or redirects to the stream.

 
I got the $5 survey, just got an email that said "Launch their next adventure". I clicked the link via mobile (Safari) and as soon as it opened it notified me about the survey.
 
I don't know if anyone else jumped on that Bioware Store deal, but it's been a week since I paid and my order hasn't updated. I contacted support and they said they're just extremely backlogged, apologized and said they're working as fast as they can.

The prices still make it worth it if you find something you like. Two days left to order still.

 
$1 GamePass is nice but with State of Decay not releasing till May 22 it does not really do me much good. I guess a few days for $1 is still not a bad way to try it out.

The Belgian Gaming Commission rules that the loot boxes in Overwatch, FIFA 18 and CS:GO fall under their gambling regulations. Could face fines and jail time if not removed, though they want to start a discussion with the industry about it. They felt the changes made to Battlefront II make it no longer qualify.

It'll be great if this has a real effect but I think they'll probably just modify that system as little as possible in just that country to skirt the law. It's what Blizzard did with Overwatch in China when they required percentages with Lootboxes. They just started selling a tiny amount of in game Credits with the "bonus" of included lootboxes.

I think best case scenario is maybe a big change from one of the three for at most all of Europe.

It’s Belgium. Sure publishers are concerned about the 5 gamers they’ll lose there. 😂

Gotta start somewhere. Hopefully, like SIX min WHISTLE said, changes are made throughout Europe. Either voluntarily by the devs / publishers or Belgium and the Netherlands getting the rest of the EU on board.

 
I got that 5$ code for doing the survey, but it gave me a US code and my account is from Canada so it wont let me redeem it. I contacted Microsoft but they're giving me the runaround.

Any ideas?

Of the following OG Xbox titles which one is the best visual upgrade on the X1X? I’ve never played any of these but have credit expiring so I’m getting just one for now.

Black, crimson skies, dead to rights, jade empire, ninja gaiden, Star Wars KOTOR, or Morrowind?

just a thought, you can send it to someone in the US and they can gift you a game worth $5.

Haven’t played them all but of the ones I have, I’d say Ninja Gaiden. It looks and plays amazingly.

That said I’d recommend a game not on your list - Panzer Dragoon Orta. One of my all time favs and also looks fantastic.

Out of the ones I've played or seen in videos I'd either say Jade Empire or Ninja Gaiden. SSX 3 looks really good as well.

If you haven't played any of those I'd say grab KotOR.

Morrowind still looks pretty rough even with the upgrades.

You asked for one so that's all I will recommend...another vote for Ninja Gaiden.

 
How are people getting this survey to pop? It's on Xbox.com, right? I've been clicking through different games, even some review and pics of the games, waiting to see if something pops up, but nothing yet. Didn't know if it had to be any specific games, or if it's done by now, or what the deal is. Thanks in advance.

Welp, this worked, finally, after some playing around, and then I got the survey to pop, and got a message that "this survey is already full" because it ate too much CAG BS today or something I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (total sarcasm obvbiously - happy for those that got it). Thanks for the reply, too.

 
Actually finished two games off game pass now and it only took me a month. The Final Station wasn't really what I was expecting at all, thought it was going to be a permadeath rougelike thing but was a pleasantly surprising linear narrative deal. I liked it.

Now can I do three in the next month before my two months is up? Probably not!

Thanks for the recommendations. I went with Ninja Gaiden and splurged to get KOTOR also. I’ll pick up jade empire next. Even though it’s highly praised, after watching some gameplay videos, I’m not sure Panzer Dragoon is something I’d like.

This survey is a freaking unicorn. Had it pop once right after I first started trying but clicked past it by mistake. Haven't seen it again ... different browsers, no ad block, different network connections.

Completely off topic. God of War is amazing so far but every time I come back to play a PS4 exclusive it just reminds me that even though the dual shock 4 is a big improvement it is still a shit controller compared to the X1.
