Has anyone come across any games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance that don't let you sign other people in as a guest of your account to play couch co-op? Is there any way to get around this other than creating a bunch of dummy MS accounts?

 
RDR2 has a big update for online, but they also fixed the graphics that were downgraded with the day 1 patch, and added HDR options.

 
This is by far the most furiating thing xbox does. Trying to do couch coop with a guest on most games, especially fighting games, is a fucking nightmare to set up.

Word of warning if you ever used G2A. It appears that my g2a account was hacked so may want to check yours or change your password. I think I bought something on that site just once maybe two years ago. Got hit with three $90 charges overnight.

Damn site doesn’t even have a help phone number. Sent an email to support and it says they’d get back with 72 hours.

Having to deal with PayPal and my credit card now. They have my password and here’s the weird thing. They apparently figured out that they could use the same password to log into my Amazon account and tried to send me a $200 gift card to the email address I used on g2a. I was able to cancel that because Amazon flagged it as suspicious.

Needless to say I’m also going through and changing passwords on any account that used the same one. What a pain in the ass.

What new things were there? I haven’t seen any. Was able to re-rate Minecraft and got another 5 points. Now 15 away.

But curious to know what you got that’s new so I can keep an eye out. Knowing my luck the day I get to Level 5 is the day they stop doing the generous conversion for GamePass Ultimate.
I'll check in a min when I get back home. I did them this morning
 
Any chance this means you can turn off the broken HDR in single player now?
Not according to the release notes; there's a Cinematic HDR (current one, I guess) and a new Game HDR, along with more brightness options.

"A new HDR Calibration menu has been added. Players can now switch between the existing ‘Cinematic HDR’ and new ‘Game HDR’ styles, and a new option has been added to allow manual adjustment of Peak Brightness values for different displays."

I better check my G2A account. Think I bought 1 game way back when too.

I wonder who's doing the port. The original dev, Terminal Velocity, went under.

The original release had some bugged achievements / trophies. They got patched, but if you completed the requirements before the patch, you couldn't unlock them. I only have one achievement left in the game, one of the bugged ones. Thought about giving it a go with BC to see if that might work. I remember the devs banned people from their forums because they kept asking about fixing it. They did the Kinect Star Wars and Walking Dead Survival Instinct before shutting down.

Breezing through the hard difficulty, or cheesing it? IIRC, you got credit for completing it on the hardest difficulty just by completing the first and last checkpoint in each act of the campaign.

The one frustrating battle I remember is possessed cherub statues dive bombing you in a cemetery.

Still, a great game if you're a fan of the franchise.
Breezing, but it would have been the second hardest difficulty most likely. Didn't know about the cheese method. The cherub statues were a real pain, forgot that one. Kinect Star Wars and Walking Dead Survival? Yikes, not a fine pedigree, to be sure.

RDR2 has a big update for online, but they also fixed the graphics that were downgraded with the day 1 patch, and added HDR options.
Finally, some more story missions in RDO. And poker!

 
I wonder how well Red Dead Online is doing. I feel like it instantly fell off and it seems like it'd have a hard time drawing people back in.

I’d like to know if it is now real HDR. Or if it’s the same and you can just adjust it.

I honestly thought it looks great anyway. Never understood the complaints. I like “real” HDR but if it looks good, I’m fine with fake too.

Played some of Doom 2 ... I mean Rage 2 and it’s a blast. Don’t give a shit about critics. It plays almost exactly like the Doom reboot but with different setting and an open world. What’s not to love?

Haven’t gotten to the vehicular combat yet but the on foot combat plays great. More impressions after I can dig in more tonight.

I looked in the insider app about an hour ago and didn’t see it. Hope it shows up for me when I get home. Those 20 XP would put me over the top!

Worked.

Quick question. I have a year of gamepass card that I never used. Should I used that before activating the ultimate game pass thing to get more time?

Damn site doesn’t even have a help phone number. Sent an email to support and it says they’d get back with 72 hours.

Having to deal with PayPal and my credit card now. They have my password and here’s the weird thing. They apparently figured out that they could use the same password to log into my Amazon account and tried to send me a $200 gift card to the email address I used on g2a. I was able to cancel that because Amazon flagged it as suspicious.

Needless to say I’m also going through and changing passwords on any account that used the same one. What a pain in the ass.

What new things were there? I haven’t seen any. Was able to re-rate Minecraft and got another 5 points. Now 15 away.

But curious to know what you got that’s new so I can keep an eye out. Knowing my luck the day I get to Level 5 is the day they stop doing the generous conversion for GamePass Ultimate.
Gaming with others gave me 10xp. It's so under surveys.

Got 5xp for rating new Xbox Insider Program update.

I was topped off last night and those two popped up this morning.

Just did one of The Hunt ones and got to 5 and into beta.
 
Worked.

You'll want the combined months of your XBL Gold and Game Pass subs to equal 35-36 months before upgrading to GP Ultimate but no more than 36 months.

Each month of Gold and Game Pass you have gets you a month of GP Ultimate 1 for 1.

Say you have 15 months of Gold left and 6 months of Game Pass left - When you convert them you'd get 21 months (maybe 22 since you're paying $1 for a month upfront) of Game Pass Ultimate.

But you cannot be over 36 months ahead or you max out of months and you'd just be set until May of 2022 and lose the extra months.

 
Played some of Doom 2 ... I mean Rage 2 and it’s a blast. Don’t give a shit about critics. It plays almost exactly like the Doom reboot but with different setting and an open world. What’s not to love?

Haven’t gotten to the vehicular combat yet but the on foot combat plays great. More impressions after I can dig in more tonight.
Loving what I've played of it too but does the aiming feel a bit off especially down the sights can't quite figure out why. Tried messing with the x and y sliders. It just feels like really smooth to go just left-right or up and down but any combo of the two doesn't feel smooth to me. It might just be me too

Thank you for the explanation. Super helpful.
 
Depends. You cannot have more than 36 months of any Xbox sub - (Game Pass Ultimate included) so you don't need more than 36 months between them.
True, but in any occasion where this cap isn't an issue redeeming the code to add time before converting to GPU is advised. Currently, redeeming any code for XBLG or GP after converting results in an error that may or may not be fixed.

 
If this is real, I'm curious why Myrrah is on the cover. I didn't actually expect to see much of her even with her connection to Kait. The fact that she's in her Gears 3 armor rather than a fancy dress like Gears 2 makes me think she'll be in some playable sections. I haven't read the comics so I don't know if she wore armor often or not, I don't think she's in the books.

Correct.

If you are at the 36 month cap you're better off trading it or giving it to a friend or family member.

 
Hmm... if I get in the beta, I think I’m at a combined total of 24 months and a few odd days. Not sure how if they would round up those days. If not, I guess I could try to add another year if I find a good deal on either Gold or GP.

Just for clarification, if you have a combined 37 months it won’t give you any additional months at all?

Really hope that new Hunt Showdown thing is available to me when I get home.

I think it's limited so run home to get in.

You'd max out at 36 months.

In my case: My XBL Gold was good until 8/2021 and my Game Pass was only good until 9/2020 (Thanks to MS Rewards Hot Deals entirely so 43 months total).


I upgraded to GP Ultimate (which cancels your XBL Gold & Game Pass subs and converts them) and my GP Ult sub is good until 5/11/2022 - Exactly 36 months from the day I redeemed it.

I still got 20 months of Game Pass and 9 months of Gold out of it though.
 
I got my physical copy of My Time at Portia today but just started playing Far Cry New Dawn last night, guess Portia will be going into the backlog. Had fun with what I played of New Dawn, curious how the story goes since I wasn't a huge fan of the Far Cry 5 story but the gameplay is pretty similar and that was what I liked the most.

This makes me happy. Can't wait for May 29th
I played it at pax and thought it was interesting but was just thrown in to the game with no idea what I was supposed to do or what the controls were. I played one mission and it was decent but I died at the end. Someone working the booth told me I was where I needed to be and would've completed the mission if I had pressed a button, but I didn't know that's what I had to do. Of the six or seven "coming to gamepass" titles xbox had it was in the middle for me but mostly because I didn't play much or know what I was doing. Will like to check it out more.

So...I Guess new Splinter Cell confirmed? I'm just hoping there's co-op campaign again so I can start bleeding out and just quicken it by rising back up and shooting people before getting gunned down and frustrating him that we have to restart.

 
Not sure why but the only Splinter Cell game I absolutely adored was Chaos Theory. Oh how I wish they’d make it BC with X1X enhancements.

Don’t get me wrong. The others were good but that is the one I’ll remember the most by a long shot.

Hmm I'm calling drunk tweeting on that one. I guess Ubisoft is already in damage control according to IGN. I'm sure the plan is to make an appearance at e3.

 
It's fighting game news day apparently.

If you buy Samurai Shodown digitally or physically by June 30th (it's out June 25th), you will get the season pass for FREE. It will include 4 characters that cover the first 6 months of support for the game. This is pretty much unheard of in fighting games, an awesome offer from SNK. The rumor was they were already going to make back their budget on the pre-order numbers they already had, so they must be paying if forward. It seems like a great strategy to push early sales, this probably pushed me over the edge on it.

Soul Calibur VI's next creation part DLC is coming out in just 2 days. The patch is out today (now?), including some fixes, balancing touches, improvements to the ranking system, additional color pre-sets for the original characters, and some free wedding outfit parts for everyone that I kind of think is a jab at DOA 6's $40 DLC from launch. This also brings the total content added to a much higher total than promised, as initially we were only sold the season pass with about 100 items and a few songs planned. Now we'll be close to 250 items and about 120 or so additional songs added.

Yeah they are saying that they were “joking”. I call bullshit on that too. I think they may have been drunk tweeting but it’s probably true. They just weren’t supposed to say anything yet and leave the splash at E3 intact.

You have to join the Xbox Insider Beta Ring and then you'll get the GamePass Ultimate option, ummm you buy more of whatever is cheaper for you. With those dates I'm guessing it would say you have 2 months of Gold banked and hopefully 4 months of Game Pass, so you got a lot to go to get to 36 months total.

i didnt notice my gold was expiring so quick lol...so i want a max total of 36 months between gold and gamepass?

 
Correct, and most likely getting the rest of the time in just Gold will be the cheaper route. Don't know of any non new subscriber stuff going on right now for Game Pass, so MSRP per month is going to be cheaper for Gold vs GamePass.
