Ive thoroughly enjoyed Astroneer on Steam. May double dip and get it in for Xbox/windows. I’m sure it’d look lovely on the projector.
 
Good news on that Tomb Raider to Gamepass, now I can list the season pass in trade forum

I Done did it. All the Riddler trophies. Also I just realized after I finish the Arkham Knight campaign that the last few games I've beaten (Watch Dogs 2 and Shadow of Mordor) have all been open world stealth related games. I Don't know why I've been in this kick, but maybe it's about time I finally start Doom after this to break the sneaking around and lightly giving criminals a nice nap and certainly not murdering them. Also I legit don't understand how Arkham Knight has an M rating. Unless in the last few missions, Batman pulls out his dong and strangles Scarecrow with it, this M rating is below even Halo in the "what? Really?" level.

I miss Joystiq a lot more than I thought I would. It was one of those sites I could check out every day and enjoy reading something. Now I skim kotaku and occasionally Polygon but I rarely find something to click through. I miss 1up as well, the articles, the shows, the podcasts. It had it all.
1Up was great too. EGM/GFW had a great site website and their podcast talked about all games despite its focus on PCs very intelligently. Not only were the guys smart and very knowledgeable, they also were hilarious. I still have several years of theirs and Joystiq podcasts. I was very relieved that the McElroy brothers had already started MBMBAM before Joystiq died. I don’t really like Polygon and Kotaku.
 
Any opinions one way or another on Killer is Dead? I like swinging swords, and $4 seems cheap. But Suda is real hit or miss for me. Thanks.
 
If you have a current EA Access sub and play a match of Apex legends you get a gift of 1k coins s,an epic weapon skin, and an emblem or badge or something? (I got 2 free months of EA Access for preordering BFV and never used it till today for this promotion)

I enjoyed No More Heroes (the first, didn’t play much of 2, and haven’t tried the new one yet), but that’s the only Suda experience I have. I bought Killer is Dead last time it was on sale, and the combat is ok, the typical wackiness is very much there and fun at times, but overall it’s just a very weird game. I’ve gotten through 4 or 5 missions, and I’ve let it sit for a week or two now. Not sure when I’ll go back, though I would like to at least finish through the story. Don’t know if this helps or keeps up your “hit or miss” idea haha.
 
I popped 2 achievements last night for TA Hangman.  The first one was a letter I was going for.  I wasn't expecting the second, but it popped in the same session.  Thankfully both were needed, and they ended up covering nearly a third of my letters.  I know a phrase that fits, which is a game quote and the puzzle includes who said it.

 
I started TA Hangman, but it's not for me. It certainly is a creative challenge though. The Wife wanted to play Divinity co-op since we just picked it up for $10 on the sale. Which was way more fun than worrying about which achievements I might be popping.
Divinity is a lot better than we were expecting. After playing this, the new Crackdown and a few other games I'm hoping Divinity 2 will have gone off and back on sale again - maybe even cheaper next time.

If you haven't played Divinity yet, it's worth the $10
 
When I put in my code I believe they said later this week.. I'd assume they would email us thursday the latest with the code/etc.
I'm not too worried about that. What I am worried about is that I decided to waste my credit I had at GS on it.. I hope they give me the actual game code before the early access.
Ok so just got the email for the beta pre-load on The Division 2 beta.
Problem is.. it’s for PC not Xbox.

I did sign up months ago for the beta before I decided to buy it so I hope this is from that signup, I better get a 2nd email with the xbox code today.

Man, these publishers just think that slapping a battle royale mode into a game will guarantee success. I guess we'll see when it's out in March, but I don't think the mode would have given BF much of a bump. I suppose this exact scenario did end up helping Black Ops 4, but they always have higher sales anyways. I don't think the core Battlefield fans are going to be as receptive to royale, CoD was always pretty lone wolf focused, BF has a big empahasis on large teams and vehicles. It's just going to need to really polished and fully realized.

We've now got two big free competitors, the cheaper PUBG, and the already established Blackout for any newcomers to compete with.

 
I've been having fun with TA Hangman.  Popped the last cheevs I needed this morning.  I'm just waiting til I can do another scan.

The answer was very interesting, and I'd look forward to sharing it when the event is over.

 
I subscribed for a few years, then switched to buying issues I had more interest in from the newsstand. Then I just stopped getting them, not big on reading reviews and with how easy it is to watch videos of gameplay or get a demo/beta of a game I can see how they play myself. Didn't they switch to European only publication rather than having a US published one? Did that increase the price at all (if you're in the US)?
They were just printing the UK version over here with some variations for awhile but they've since stopped that and now it's one version for everyone. It is $45 for a year which is more than a lot of US mags but OXM has always cost $30+ even after they stopped the demo discs. Still way cheaper than Edge or PlayStation Magazine which are $127 a year.

Didn’t even know it still existed. Still fondly remember the days of getting those demo discs with the magazine. That was something I looked forward to, lol.
The one that just came in did come with a State of Decay 2 soundtrack sampler. Oh and last month they sent a misprinted 2019 Calendar. ;)

 
Got the TA Hangman Challenge done, but seriously, that's not a memorable quote at all. not even google could find that. And I'm not even sure if it is a reference to what I think it could be...

 
Downloading The Division 2 beta and it is a quite hefty 42.5GB. Also could they make giving codes to friends more difficult. Having to have them as uplay friends is kind of dumb. 

 
Didnt see it mentioned here (maybe I missed it?), but my favorite Xbox one controller is on sale: Xbox sport White controller for


$44.88 at Walmart for delivery
$43.45 at Walmart for in store pickup
$41.74 at Amazon for "very good" dingers

Edit: also the sport red controller is up for preorder at Microsoft store and GameStop for $70

Can't wait to ignore playing that ever again after I get the season pass!
Character wise I wasn't into it but I enjoyed the setting and gameplay. Had to stop for a bit at one point for them to fix some bugs but not nearly as bad as in unity. I don't know if I'll play it immediately considering I've not touched any of the other free games that came with ubisoft season passes or any of the other Assassin's Creed remasters.

I Think more than any other Assassin's Creed (even Revelations), this one just dragged the most for me. Opening fast travel locations was just the worse. but yeah I just can't see myself putting another 30 or so hours that I put into beating this game again. That and the Desmond stuff, but at least that game ended that unnecessary side plot.

Still impressed that Ubisoft continues with the Animus stuff in these games because they really add nothing and really the least exciting part of all these games. I Kinda have a weird theory that Ubisoft continues with that stuff and makes it boring as can be so no one ever asks for a modern/futuristic Assassin's Creed game.

Maybe I'm just remembering what I liked about 3 and when I replay it one day I'll realize I was wrong. Don't remember the fast travel at all.

I think they got the picture that most people weren't fans of the modern day stuff with how little it is in the recent games compared to the previous games. I forget which game it was but the sequences that switched to first person were so frustrating. The one thing I did like about the modern day stuff is the Easter eggs of sorts you could find on computers like "here's people we've looked at in the past and some that we could eventually look into."

Revelations had the first person platforming segments, thankfully they were optional.

The fast travel unlocking segments in 3 were you had to go do wander around underground mazes and solve the puzzles to unlock a fast travel location. It was way more work and way more tedious than it needed to be to get.

 
I liked it but not as much as the last two.
I feel really guilty about Tomb Raider. I loved the first two, but waited on all of them to get cheap (like I do for most games) and now i'll probably never get another one. The franchise doesn't seem to have had great sales numbers overall and I sure don't help it by being cheap and then not even getting the last one until it's free with Gamepass. I hope I didn't kill Lara.

The game flopped to be sure, but the series has always had a troubled history. They rebooted the series with TR Legend, the next game TR Anniversary was a faithful remake of the first game but the worst selling in the series, and then Underworld, which wasn't received well.

The second reboot started with 2013's Tomb Raider where Lara is just a killing machine - she might as well be the Terminator. When her voice actor was asked about her role in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she said she didn't like it and hoped that Lara would be a mother in the next game, lol. Really, though, the series has been surpassed by Uncharted and has been struggling since.

Conner was the worse characters in the whole series but it sure didn’t help that he was the first character after three games playing as Ezio. Achilles helped hold the narrative together. While it was disappointing, I was more disappointed with Unity.
 
Hey guys some people on reddit are saying sims 4 is showing up for free on the Microsoft store not sure if a free weekend is coming or what and they say they don’t have ea access so ymmv

It would have helped if they gave him some personality. All the opportunity was there but they dropped the ball. Having that what felt like a year long tutorial with Haytham didn't help either.
