MS you lame motherfuckers :wall:

I got a message today congratulating me on completing the September quest. At least they said "we noticed you didnt get your reward..." in the message.

I hope to get the October & November ones before the year ends :pray:

Idiots.
 
Crackdown is genuinely fun though. I just wonder how much more awesome it would've been if development started recently and released with the next console. Crackdown 4 should be more in line with what we all expected.
That's the thing, I think development on what we actually got with the single player did start recently. I think why it reminds me of Crackdown 1 so much is they scrapped most of the work except for art assets once Sumo Digital came on to actually get a product out they played it safe. Would love to see a behind the scenes some day of the development.

 
is anybody else still waiting for their $5 credit from the best-selling books promo? this is the 2nd time i've tried a promo to get free $ from MS and they didn't hold up their end.

 
Free stuff for games you don't play

Grabbed the Crossout money, thanks. I actually first played it for a Quest last year, maybe this one that finally paid out? I don't remember. Anyway, it reminded me of Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8 2nd Offense on the N64. I loved those games. I'm not very good, but it's fun.

Free Crackdown 3 Bonus Pack:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/crackdown-3-bonus-pack/9ngvwmlm4t51
Hope those work on my current game. my driving skill is lacking. i could use a 10% bonus.

I have 60% of the hidden orbs and 80% of the agility ones.

I wanted to max out all my skills before i wrap up the last boss. I just found my last moonshine to complete 100% of the objectives.

I was thinking of going for the full 100% but the stunt jumps aren't fun when you just spawn the agency vehicle, pick it up and place it next to the purple target and just jump up :/

I love this game, as long as they don't add any of those insane Renegade Orbs from Crackdown 2 they should keep it going with DLC.

Kills with the tank or turrets on vehicles count towards driving skill. I pissed off the robots and got them to max alert, and then just blew up every enemy that showed up. Driving skill hit level 5 pretty quickly and I didn't have to mess with any rings or races.

If you do this to just boost for the level 5 achievement, pick an agent with a 10% bonus for driving skill.

With Alien Isolation, Return to Arkham, TWD, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider (among others), it just seems like they are adding all the games in my collection to Game Pass. So to all those whom held out... you’re welcome, lol

What else have you got, in your backlog? Just looking to see what to expect in the coming months, is all...

I mean the sale prices on both Batman and Alien have been really really low at times, sub $5 for Alien I believe, probably in a lot of people's libraries

I realize that most of us are buying games on sale for pretty cheap prices and that corresponds to why these games are also going to Gamepass, but I wonder if Gamepass and the myriad other subscription services are an overall net positive for the industry. I know that I have definitely cut way back on my game purchases because there are so many "free" games. Are most subscribers to the subscription services the same people who would also be buying the cheap games (and now maybe don't or might cut back) or are they the kind of people who would have never purchased them anyway so the industry doesn't really lose those sales?

 
Yeah but you have to remember. We aren't like normal people. We buy smart. Game pass is great for young kids. They normally only have a few games. Game pass is good value but to most of us cag we will normally have most of the games already.

I guess I'll play Batman and alien isolation now since it's in my backlog for years. I'll just game pass play them for the quests and bonus points.

Hell the quests make me want to wait to play games since you can't do the quests if you have previously unlocked the achievements needed for the quests.

Ms should let you scan your achievements and it should pick up if you have the achievements before so you can still get bonus points also

Headlander is a fun concept that fumbles a little in practice.. It's a metroidvania that exchanges permanent weapon upgrades for swapping bodies, though you can upgrade your head's container to enhance it and the bodies you snatch. The theme (parody of the 1960s vision of the future) is great, but I wish they'd done a bit more with it. Overall if you're interested in this genre it's definitely worth trying.

Now the real reason I posted; I love you peeps and I come bearing the greatest gift of all. NBA VCurrency.

Kcobra posting the good stuff yesterday & today. You rock

Besides Headlander, I own the other games. Great additions to game pass imo

Edit: Just clicked the link and read the Major's post. Didn't realize Epic Mickey 2 was coming as well. That one was a freebie via GWG back in August of last year. Still, really good additions for the end of February

Why we he not advertise Epic Mickey? I loved EM2 for the fact that it helped bring Oswald back into the light.

I know that I have not picked up Return to Arkham yet because I 100%ed Arkham Asylum back on the 360, and some of them were pretty damn tricky. I knew I would want to complete them again. Now that they're coming to Game Pass, I guess I have no excuse.
 
So... Odyssey is on sale for $20 @ amazon... If I play this one before I get to Origins, will it ruin the Origins experience for me?  I'm pretty sure they're not linked storywise, so I'm thinking more of the gameplay here.

edit: Holy a;lkdsjfaldjf... watching episode 12 of The Punisher on Netflix... this show is brutal.  I love it!!!

Be prepared to be underwhelmed with Anthem guys. After completing the game on PC I’m not sure what kind of gamer EA/Bioware made this for . The shooting ,ultimates, flying get old after a few hours. The missions and story are forgettable with most missions being fly to this point activate a beacon then defend for 2 minutes. The loot system feels like something from 5 years ago with how brain numbing and cumbersome it is. The final boss to the “story” is a joke and will be an internet meme in no time. The areas are all just slightly different with none of them jumping out as memorable . Nothing about this has a new feeling to it and only one mission in the whole game did I feel it was fun.. I understand they have a multi-year plan for Anthem and they can’t release everything at once , but if this was a horse in a race it would be missing two legs.
 
No one can give you the full horse right at the beginning, its not how its done. Instead, the missing legs are part of DLC yet to come. Its your fault you hopped onto the horse before all the legs are in place.

Rocket League's big cross platform friends list update is live:
This seems to make it easier to get people together if they're not already on your friends list or are on other platforms, so I'd like to make a renewed push to get the CAG club going. Reply or PM me your RocketID#XXXX name and number or add mine (Crash#3342) and I'll get you in when I get the chance.

Question for Game Pass questers: am I the only not getting credit for the Gamepass 21 (1+5+15) achievements quest? I've received 26 Gamepass game achievements since the beginning of February, yet, the quest only has me checked off for getting 1 achievement. This quest applies to any Gamepass games, right? Not just certain ones like some other quests? Also, not getting credit for the 2 Thomas Was Alone achievements I got this last week, which should've checked off the TWA quest.

I checked again this morning, and I'm in the same boat. Only have the 1 achievement checked off, but I've been getting more achievements from GP games since that one. They just aren't tracking...again.

As for the Thomas Was Alone, was that one a specific achievement you had to get, or did any achievement count? I've been doing the Farming simulator quest, so I've been working towards specific ones l, and can't remember if they're all like that

I believe the only requirement for TWA quest that you get two achievements. They didn't ask for specific TWA achievements, so any TWA achievements should have worked.

To be fair I think I'll be just whelmed enough when I get it for $10.

 
Good news after just I mentioned console mods yesterday.

Mods are coming to Surviving Mars and presumably being improved on other Paradox Interactive games. The reason this is cool is a change to how they're being handled. In the past the studio was manually having to approve each individual mod and put them through an approval process with Microsoft. Now it sounds like it's more or less like what Bethesda was doing where people can upload anything they want and they're then subject to moderation after the fact. With they style of games I'd imagine there only real stuff that will need to be removed is copyright infringing material, as I'm not sure how you'd sneak nude mods into this game like people we doing with Fallout. Paradox is not nearly as big as Bethesda so it's just good to see more companies being allowed to do this.

I want to throw out a recommendation for Stick it to the Man. It’s a cross between platformer and adventure game. It’s pretty weird and has a fun sense of humor. Think Double Fine games. Great deal for a buck and change. I played it on PS but I think I’ll get it again since I have like 80¢ expiring soon

Counter point - The flying never gets old. I can't really speak to anything else because I spent most of my time in the demo flying around.

This.
Raiding, not my thing anymore.
Sure I’ll do the “story” for the missions, but once that’s done it’s going out to get better gear solo or in the open areas that group you together. Will probably do some 4 man group stuff from time to time, but flight and killing things solo is much more fun to me than required group content.
I played the last day of the demo *just* in the free roam area, had more fun that way.

I saw this tweet pretty soon after it went up. I'm not sure I'd classify this as "major backlash" like the article title, but it didn't come across as the most useful advice given the context.

I get what he's trying to say about how reviews should generally be used, how bandwagoning is bad, and to keep an ear out for how word of mouth is on a game is generally more helpful overall. That said, his advice to see what streamers think of a game isn't exactly fool-proof when big companies like EA, Activision, and Bethesda are paying for stream time with so much. Even with Apex it felt pretty disingenuous for the first day or two, only saved by the fact that the game is actually good.

 
i thought the game came out tuesday...my bad
That was a slight against Bioware, not you. They're calling it a day one patch even though you've been able to pay to play the full game since the 15th on PC. This should be a day 7 or 8 patch, not day 1. It's a small gripe, but worth keeping in mind.
