We are in a rare moment in time where Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is on sale, and so is all of its DLC. It may finally be time to bite.

Also, is this the first time Tembo the Badass Elephant has gone on sale? The game made by Game Freak, famous for Pokemon? Played a bit at E3 a few years back and enjoyed it.
 
For some reason these two being side by side made me chuckle when I was reading the list:

:xb1: Hyper Jam - $11.24 - 25% off
:xb1: I Am Bread - $6.49 - 50% off
 
20 points away from Level 5 and have done the Minon Masters beta stuff and everything else I could find. Dammit, I need to get to 5 so I can join the Beta ring!

Rate the Minecraft Beta? After I installed the Delta build, I was allowed to do the home survey again.

So that Xbox 360 Ghostbusters game with the original 80's cast maybe getting released on the One. I want to say I'm excited, but oof that game had some TERRIBLE AI companions.

I'd happily replay that remaster. If it was sub $10, I'd buy it. The AI companions were ok imo, but I do recall the lip synching was totally out of whack. Almost as bad as Alan Wake. Great game if you never played it and for those that loved the movies, this is basically Ghostbusters 3 in video game form.

If you enjoy DOOM, you can unlock some in-game content for DOOM Eternal and enter monthly contests.
Appreciate the link (surprised you didn't even use a referral). The amount of points you need for anything decent is ridiculous though.
You get 1 XP per daily log in, and 5 XP per article read, and 5 XP per article shared (up to 3 a day). Having caught up on the articles posted so far, I'm around 200 XP and have unlocked 1 reward.

The max level/reward however requires 13,000 XP..
A game based on being marketed to shouldn't be so fucking grindy.

Ya I hate when people sneak in referral links. You could just easily boost it yourself, that's why I left it out.

Missed April's contest where they gave away custom consoles. I'm pumped for eternal and Rage 2 when it gets here.

 
keep us posted if u ever get around to playing it
My fiancee and I started playing it on a whim. Its surprisingly good for a game that kind of just came out of nowhere. Has some bugs but not game ending. If you can get 2 friends (3 person party) it's even better. Lots of extra content too. RPG with random loot and quests. Some runs are awesome and you make it far. Some times a kraken sinks your boat and you just start over. XD
 
What happen to Xbox 360 store parser? It used to be great in letting you know what was on sale...seems like it's been broken for weeks now. Any good alternative?

How did you deal with health? I stopped playing because I got tired of constantly going back to town to sleep for full health. When you're out of combat, you only generate a small amount of health each turn, like 2 to 4hp, but each of my characters had a relatively large health bank when I stopped, like 64+ hp. If I didn't heal full up, then I was likely to die in the next battle or the one after that. I know there are consumables that give you a bit of health back, and I know about the tent. Other than that, are there other ways to deal with survivability? It seems like it could be a fun game, but healing up after each little battle just got tedious especially since this is a rogue-like game where death means you start all over.

The Luke warm reviews for RAGE 2 makes me sad. I still hope I will like it.
Watch that ACG review. It sounds it may not be an award winning game but one that you’ll have a blast playing. I love Doom. Love Mad Max style games. I’m in.

Does it actually show you the option of joining the Beta ring?

I'm curious because I was on level 2 and showed the option to join Delta but didn't and now it's gone. I've accumulated points and now I'm 5 points from level 4 and it gives the option to join a ring but it doesn't say which ring it is.

It does, add an option after getting to Level 5. I closed the app and opened it again and Beta was available to me.
 
Yeah, I’m not there for Level 5 and Beta yet but Delta ring was an option and I joined that that helped me get a few new things a few days ago.

Not sure if this has been pointed out but Ebates has had 15% cash back on the Microsoft Store and it ends in about 2 1/2 hrs. Works on Xbox One digital game purchases, have not had the best luck with it tracking 360 purchases.
 
So that Xbox 360 Ghostbusters game with the original 80's cast maybe getting released on the One. I want to say I'm excited, but oof that game had some TERRIBLE AI companions.
Glad it hit $5 at least once since it went BC. I can't imagine they'll put a lot of effort into the remaster, though they do have some time since the likely goal is to release it close to Ghostbusters 3 next year.

Eurogamer says Mad Dog Games is publishing it. They've done almost nothing, World War Z is their biggest title, and they published the new Shaq Fu in Europe. The original game was published by Atari, and last we knew Activision had the GB rights as they put out that trash game a few years ago.

It's BC? When did I miss that? Nice. Activision had the rights to publish it back then after absorbing Vivendi, but declined to do so. Atari acquired the rights to do so from them along with several others including Sony for the different versions and for different regions. I thought it would be a rights nightmare to get BC or a remake.

I'd happily replay that remaster. If it was sub $10, I'd buy it. The AI companions were ok imo, but I do recall the lip synching was totally out of whack. Almost as bad as Alan Wake. Great game if you never played it and for those that loved the movies, this is basically Ghostbusters 3 in video game form.
I'll have to fire it up and check out the lip sync. It was considered by Ramis and others involved to be the 3rd movie they never thought would happen. There are a few parts of the game that were originally cut from the first movie that they wanted to use in a sequel. Other parts are ideas they wanted to explore in the first movie that they weren't able to work in and other parts were taken from one of the many scripts for the third movie that never made it out of development hell. Ramis and other writers were really involved with the scripting of the game. Too bad we won't have a true sequel with Ramis in it...

This is awesome! I don't remember having trouble with the AI characters, but it has been a long while. I remember mostly breezing through it on one of the harder difficulties. I remember a boss battle being frustrating, perhaps that was because of AI companions.

I never got around to playing the Wii version which was somewhat different (mostly cartoony graphics instead) and supposedly made cool use of the Wiimote.

Also, the 360 NA version was region free so it can be imported into other countries easily.

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.

 
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.

2 new things up on the insider app. Got me 15 more exp. Still at 135/140. I think they are taunting me.
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.

Can anyone recommend the Foresaken 64 remaster? Sounds like plenty of nostalgic fun for $5, but both it and the Turok games seem like obvious Game Pass games.

Getting settled in the new house and the GF is excited to have access to all my games. I showed her how to turn on the Xbox, switch profiles, etc. and told her to make sure she was on the right one. I was out of town for work and an achievement notification popped on my phone. I called her and asked her what game she was playing, and she was confused how I knew. "Because you're on MY profile and I just got an achievement notice." She was up until 1am playing Oxenfree, I've created a monster.

Yikes. Time for a password manager and 2 factor authentication.
