In other news, I just had a 48 Kill Streak in Overwatch and over 25 K healing in the same match with Moira which is probably the greatest match ever by anybody.
 
Damn, no MK9 today. The March 7th date was revised to the 6th anyway.

MK11's starting to look more likely though.

While Game Pass hasn't teased there being any more additions for March, they did tease an April addition to be announced on March 12th.

https://mobile.twitter.com/XboxGamePass/status/1102995854896427008

This could be the rumoured MCC PC port set to be announced on Inside Xbox but MCC is already on Game Pass (and would hopefully be crossbuy/Play Anywhere) so probably not. The only other game I can think of is the next Ori which has no release date besides 2019. Guarantee it's one of those 3.

Can someone tell me more about these count downs? Are these when prices are going to change for the worse or for the better? Thanks in advance.
 
It's just a countdown. Something will happen at the end of it, no one knows what. Its Bloomy's way of giving a heads up when the stuff is going to hit the fan - if it ends up being shit, oh well...

Countdowns.


These items have a countdown in their marketplace pages. The most likely reason is a discount, but it could also be GwG, Game Pass, delisting or even nothing (not uncommon for MS published titles on Game Pass). Just have to wait for the timer to run out. Day counters do not include hours or minutes. Countdowns with less than 1 day left. New items since last countdown post. (Resets Monday nights.)
Bloomy makes it pretty clear in the spoiler.

 
Thanks for posting this, my dad was able to get the 12 months of Live right before it went out of stock.
This is nuts! Free GOW 4??? Missed the Live and gamepass but geez this is pretty much the coolest thing my vet status has gotten me lol. Already own GOW 4 might have to do a give away.
 
For military/veterans:

The free 12 months of Xbox Live & Gears 4 is back in stock:
https://gamestogrunts.com/collections/xbox-one

Looks like the 2 year game pass was in stock earlier but went out of stock already.

Uses ID.me for verification.
Seriously though how can they afford to do this, it’s crazy generous and all but makes me feel like there is some catch although all their stuff looks pretty legit.

Played a few minutes of Just Cause 4 after the update and it does seem to look and run better from what I can tell.

Captain Marvel was a great film. It's not quite at Winter Soldier/Civil War/ Infinity War level (my three favorite of the MCU) but it's definitely very good. If you've loved (or at least liked) all the MCU movies to date and aren't tired of superheroics, then you will enjoy it. If you're some manbaby that's already decided you hate the film before seeing it and openly declare that the film is shit based on cherry picking the worst reviews, then nothing I could say will change your mind, and also I don't care whether you see it anyway.

Since Wonder Woman and Alita get brought up a lot in relation to Captain Marvel, I will say I enjoyed Captain Marvel more than either of them. Brie Larson does well in the role. I wouldn't say that I can't see anyone else in the role the way I would say RDJ embodies and IS Iron Man, but she still does a damn fine job. And to be fair, it's only her first outing as the character. I think she was better as Captain Marvel than Chris Hemsworth was as Thor in his first movie.

 
Captain Marvel
I think some of the speakers in my theater were wonky. Some scenes, I think mostly when someone was talking off camera, it sounded like they were down a hallway and I could barely hear them.

Other than that I enjoyed it. It's not one of my favorite marvel movies but it also isn't at the bottom of the list either.
 
It just hit me - the GDC runs from March 18-22.  That's probably why those big games have countdowns for that week, and it wouldn't surprise me if others joined them.

 
So the Anthem reward quests are gone. And no new game was added. Does that likely mean DMC 5 won’t be a purchase punch card? Asked before but is there a day of the week they normally go up?

I was hovering over the like button right up until you slighted The Almighty Chris Hemsworth in the last sentence. :nottalking:

Can't win 'em all!

I do really like him as Thor now, but in his first outing his portrayal was basically "generic meathead" and then I liked him more in The Avengers, and more so in each movie after, and it wasn't until Thor Ragnarok and Infinity War that I thought he hit his peak as that character. His scene with Rocket in Infinity War is really some damn good acting.

 
Hemsworth is great in his role, but to me, the Thor movies are not that good. The Dark World is the MCU's lowest point along with Iron Man 3. Ragnarok has good humor but nothing else and the first one is very generic.

I'll be watching Captain Marvel on Sunday and is going to be interesting how it performs at the box office next weekend, after the front-loading of opening weekend is gone. The movie's poised to have a $150+ million opening but it may not be enough to surpass Iron Man 3 and/or Civil War that made all the way to just under $410 million domestic if doesn't have legs.

The toxicity around the movie is preposterous. Even some of my co-workers are skipping it because of "the agenda" and "SJW bullshit".

Speaking of toxicity, the official Mortal Kombat facebook page posted an image of the revealed female characters (Sonya, Skarlet, Jade, Cassie and Jacqui) and the comments are, well, as bad as you can expect. "We want bewbs", "Where's Ermac/Noob/Smoke/Reptile", "Jacqui's a wated slot", "Why not a post with the male characters", etc, etc.

Well, in fairness, I could have done without the scene where she looks straight into the camera and says "all white men should die" and the scene at the climax of the movie where she realizes her full potential and then uses her powers to set fire to the entire bra section of a JC Penney was a bit much.

Good thing I'm not white then ;-)

 
Just got a notice that AC Odyssey's new DLC is available.

More Game Pass thoughts:

Here's what I predict will be removed at the end of the month based on the countdowns.

Cities: Skylines
ClusterTruck
Kingdom: New Lands
Late Shift
Portal Knights
theHunter: Call of the Wild

These two have different countdown dates but are also likely.

Outlast
Robocraft Infinity

Now this is a bigger leap but I also think that these will be removed at the end of April.

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition (Eyebrow raiser because 1st party, maybe May GWG?)
Homefront: The Revolution
OlliOlli 2: XL Edition
Sheltered
Sniper Elite 4
The Escapists
Unmechanical: Extended

"Where's Ermac/Noob/Smoke/Reptile"
To be fair, this is a legitimate question. If I'm toxic for wanting lizardmen in fighting games (still waiting for Aeon in SCVI) then call me the Toxic Avenger.

Stuff like this makes me dislike the gaming community a lot of days. Literally the only thing bad about that Facebook post is Sonya because they got Rhonda Rousey to voice her.

Does anyone know when approximately new GwG games get put up? My gold ends on the 14th so I was hoping to grab MGR before it expired.

It's Facebook, what else can be expected? Wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happened via Twitter. Also, Noob will be coming to the main roster soon enough. The entire list of 25 characters that leaked end of February has proven to be correct with each reveal that NetherRealm has announced.

Lame that nothing MK/game pass related happened yesterday. While the pipe dream of MK11 coming to game pass exists, my wish is for the HD remakes of MK 1-3 to arrive on GP. Or for it to be bundled in as an extra when MK11 releases April 23rd. One can hope.....
 
So the Anthem reward quests are gone. And no new game was added. Does that likely mean DMC 5 won’t be a purchase punch card? Asked before but is there a day of the week they normally go up?
I think Anthem went up a day or two after release, I would expect The Division 2 to be the next one to go up next week. I'll probably wait until noon of release day and if the card isn't up by then oh well.

I thought the 3/7 update was about JC4; not MK.

I hope so. MKX really pissed in a lot of people's cornflakes with the amount of fan favourites they dropped. MK9's roster was far more solid (outside of guests, MKX wins there handily) so fingers crossed they get most of them in there.

It was about March's Game Pass additions and people hoped that it would coincide with MK9 being added to BC/Game Pass. Was originally a Thursday and Tuesday/Thursday are the days of the week BC announcements happen 95% of the time.

There was a completely separate tweet that didn’t mention a date at all. Something with MK is coming. Whether it is a backward compatable add or MK 11, we don’t know. Though I highly doubt it’s 11.

Probably wait until tomorrow and if it hasn’t changed, grab DMC 5 then. Of course, immediately after I do it, it’ll get added.

So the play a February gamepass card completed for me without having played any of the titles listed which makes me think Crackdown secretly counts since I popped an achievement in it early this morning.  

 
Exactly. That's where the speculation came from.

Hoping the 3/12 announcement is MK11.
All the fake emails have contained an email from Scorpion so I've just taken it to be a running gag. People thought it was funny the first time and they just kept it up. But maybe it is a long play at a teaser. Like a several months long play.
