Anyone know if 360 games count for Xbox live quests? I got my gwg achievements in split/second hoping that's good enough
I think Zombi is the one that doesn't count because it didn't start in February.

Shadow Warrior, Split/Second, Assassin's Creed Chronicles - India , and Crazy Taxi should all count.
 
Man Game Pass is really making me extra cautious with game purchases now. Can't decide if a game will go Game Pass or GWG. Granted if it goes GWG it will probably eventually hit Game Pass to.

I've been waiting for Blaz Blue to drop below $12.50 digitally but it seems like they won't budge. It's not like we're getting any new BlazBlue titles anyways.

 
Like an idiot, I forgot to pick up Valley. Damnit. Hopefully it comes around on sale again in the not too distant future.

Man, why can't the dlc or season pass for the Division be on sale for $15? I keep hearing the dlc is great and the game is much better now, but I still have a bad taste in my mouth from playing at launch.


Is anyone else annoyed they already pulled the f2p giveaway rewards page? I wanted to see my total hours, which would have taken another couple days to post. I was at 606 on Friday... (in the 80 hr tier).

That's a lot of gaming hours you clocked in for that span I was 306 entries with 108 bonus hrs and 80 regular hours.Ofcourse I left my Xbox on 80% of the time to rack up them hours which I'm sure most people did the same if not then DAMN!

Whoops, I may have been a little misleading there. I had 606 total entries, so 80 hrs + (1/2 * 526) = more active hours in Clicker Heroes than I want to admit to. I left it idle overnight and at work, but ya.. there were many days where I put off playing Monster Hunter to watch numbers rise.

Looks like Mafia 2 will be backward compatible today.

https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/963458057320644608

You can add the original Prey to that list as well.

That's sad. I'm sorry you have to do that.

I'm liking this trend of announcing (certain) new games going BC while being on sale at the same time. I remember MS doing it with RDR, the first Black Ops, last week with Conviction and now Mafia II as well as Prey.

Heads up,

Someone on reddit mentioned that Castle Crashers remastered (3 dollars on sale) is actually free if you own the 360 version.

I know remastered was free for 360 owners when it first came out, but I missed that promotion, so I'm glad to get it free this time.

Not sure if it's a glitch or intended, but if you're interested, may want to grab it sooner rather than later.

 
Is Prey worth $4?

EDIT: Hate autocorrect
I played through it last Fall and I enjoyed it, but I also played a ton of old shooters on PC back in the late 90s / early 2000s. It has great level design, but it's a pretty ugly game by modern standards, still very playable.

If you like old school shooters, I think it's worth it.
 
I wish they’d make the original Prey BC. That was an awesome game.

Edit: oh, think you were talking about the original.

Oh wow, I believe I still have the Mafia II disc case somewhere in my room, haven't actually played it yet. Looks like I might get to it now that it's BC, that's a might though lol.

Yes, Prey is a great game, was ahead of its time at the time of its release imo. The portal and wall walking was pretty revolutionary at the time. Might or might not hold up today but it's definitely one to experience.

 
I was going to mock this "sale" as being more of an advertisement for EA Access, but it looks like they updated the discount to 60% at least.

This past weekend I was staring at my pile of unplayed games, completely unmotivated to play any of them, and wondering if I should cut back on game purchases. Then for some reason I booted up State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition on X1. I think it was just past midnight Saturday night. I had played State of Decay on the 360, but only for an hour or so; didn't really know what I was doing and lost interest.

Anyway, next thing I knew it was 3am, so off to bed. ALL of Sunday was SoD... Yesterday, every free hour was SoD and then I played through the night before finishing the main story this morning about 7:30am. Great fun! Faith in gaming restored :razz:

The game is quirky and has a few minor bugs, but the overall gameplay really grabbed me this time. Stealth, shooting, melee, leveling characters, resource collection, base building, and oh ya, zombies. Worth revisiting if you have this buried in the backlog.

 
just before they implemented all gwg going forward to be BC
More like before BC was even a thing. Remember, BC was announced at E3 2015 and rolled out five months later in November. From January 2016 onwards, all GWG also become BC as well.

Microsoft Rewards tip... if you’re getting the $5 month of game pass, $10 Xbox gift cards can be had for 9,300 points. Compare that to a 3 month game pass code for 17,000, and you can get an extra month for just 1,600 points.

I saw that on slickdeals too, but shows $3 for me and I do own it on 360. Were you able to get it to work? If so, how?

Just worked for me (on my laptop, not through the console, if that matters). Are you sure you're signed in when you're viewing Castle Crashers Remastered?

Achievement hunters beware, if you plan on 100%ing Mafia II, it contains one of the worst achievements ever made.... driving 1000 miles in one vehicle. It is absolutely masochistic when you consider how small the map is. Luckily, there's a well known glitch that allows you to farm miles while you sleep.

Good to know. Thanks.

PS: Sorry about your torn ACL.

 
Yeah stinks I can't see my total for the Free Play-Athon thing (I swear I was around 6K entries). I grabbed the Master of Strength (Reach Lvl 500) achievement in Gems of War so yeah I think I'm done with that game lol. Oh boy, am I done with Frozen FreeFall too? I'm still running quests in Fallout Shelter but that's prob going to go on the back burner as well. There's no way I can get 100% completion in that due to the way they've force players to buy into that last achievement. Augh, I keep reading how much these companies are making via additional microtransactions and it makes me sick.

I need to get back into Mass Effect: Andromeda. I stopped playing when I got stuck on a ultra hard - believe I was playing on Hardcore difficulty - boss fight (Kett Base on 1st planet you go to) well yeah also the fact that the checkpoint system doesn't save you from doing half the outside mission part where you have to fight off waves and waves of Kett before going into the underground facility where you face off against the boss/waves of Kett. I played the other games that I could play in Game Pass and said OK, when that goes by I'll come back to it. When I had Game Pass I felt obligated to game with something in that library compared to the games I already had purchased. It's prob the same conflicting nature one of my friends experienced with his off and on again play of WoW. fuck, I've been putting it off a few weeks and feel I need to make an attempt tonight and suck it up. Here's to trial and error! Hahaha

Pfft, I got it and yes I had to glitch out and plug controller to keep game running.
