Mixer replied on twitter to someone asking if there was a mixpot and said yes and posted a link to their blog, skimming through it I only seen an onyx 4 pack for watching some sea of thieves crap tomorrow so hopefully it’s not just that.
Mixer rewards have been dropping in quality for a while so I wouldn't be surprised. Remember when they gave away a great first-party title (Rare Replay)?
I think MS would rather get a game on Game Pass than just give it away for everyone to keep.

According to the Xbox events, both the E3 conference and the Sea of Thieves livestreams have separate Mixpots. Both tiles had the little gift\Mixpot icon. Watching both is supposed to grant two different Mixpots

The GF texted me today asking if she could 'reserve' some time on the Xbox tonight for RDR2. She started it while I was on a work trip and is now hooked.

I've created a monster.
I have 2 studies left and 3 skins, all different, 8 more bear attacks, and then I'm going for the 70 gold medals. Game is a lot of bang for $60

You mean like how they gave us The Outer Wilds last year? Some of you seem to have a real selective memory.

Did anyone think it was gonna turn out good at the time?
Seems to me it was a kickstarted indie title that clearly needed a cash injection at the time. It could have easily turned out to be a turd.
When's the last time we got anything besides garbage DLC since?

I picked up a few of the Curve Digital indie bundles today, and as a patient gamer, I'm quite happy with my purchases.  As time marches on, I seem to have less and less free time to enjoy the AAA titles.  And the prices seemed to be right.  One of them included Thomas Was Alone, The Swapper, and Stealth Inc. 2 for $5.49.  What a deal!  

I'm still on the fence about buying NBA 2K19.  Yes, it's only $2.99, but the only basketball games that I ever enjoyed were NBA Showtime and NBA Street Vol. 2 since they were easy to play and included a lot of over the top dunks and body-checking where you didn't get penalized for doing so.  Basketball sims are kind of boring.

 
Mostly off topic but LOL. People were hoping for a Remake trailer since Square-Enix often does that at these concerts. I guess that could still happen but I don't think even that would make this worth the $80 tickets.

I went to a Zelda concert like this in 2017 and every song was completely live.

Off Topic but I found funny.

I mentioned I was moving 3 months ago and was thinking about selling some of my games as there seemed to be too much to move. I ended up putting some stuff in storage as it was easier to do at the time. Fast forward to today - I went back to my storage unit to get my HDMI switch selector and decided to verify if I had the Genesis Collection for both the 360 and X1 and luckily found the following sealed games which I didn't remember I had:

Telltale Games for the X1

Batman

Guardians of the Galaxy

The Walking Dead: New Frontier

For the 360

Game of Thrones

FREAKING BACKLOG!!!

They've already given me Rare Replay, Outer Wilds, Train station something and Valiant War all for free. I couldn't care less if all of their other stuff they give me is bad. They didn't have to give me any of that. All I did was watch on a free streaming service. I only use mixer for these conferences. I am still not even really sure what it is. I am not really hip on all this streaming games stuff. People just play games with a camera on them and make money? I play a lot of video games so I just need to start streaming and random people watch me and I get money?

I've always thought this remake was a bad idea when it was just an idea. The more I see of the game the less I care. It's so divorced from the original Final Fantasy 7 that I don't know why they just didnt make it a sequel.
This is not looking good. Releasing the trailer BEFORE their biggest E3 conference presentation is not a good sign. They've gotten 15 minutes into the game in 4 years. I'm worried that this "episodic" content is going to be more spread out and piecemeal than 3 separate games... The fact that they didn't state that this was episode one on that trailer is also a concern...

 
Halo experts, I beat 4 last night and am ready for 5. It's 100GB though. Is there anyway I can just download the campaign or do I have to install the whole game which would mean deleting games?

 
I tried out Riverbond since that's on Game Pass and I guess it's not as much of a pick up and play game as I expected. I played through a few stages that were kind of just wandering around, completing the main task it asks of you, and I wanted to take a break and come back later. There's no autosave or checkpointing, so I have to do the whole stage over again. I guess I fundamentally misunderstood what sort of game it was.

I'm worried that this "episodic" content is going to be more spread out and piecemeal than 3 separate games... The fact that they didn't state that this was episode one on that trailer is also a concern...
They did that for Kingdom Hearts in the last couple of years. It seemed to turn out fine.

Has anyone heard if they are going to let ultimate Gamepass be paid beyond just monthly periods?
I know that both Amazon and Best Buy are selling 3-month codes right now. They are having an initial offer of $20 for three months. One per account.

Thanks. I’ve got just over two months of gold and just over four months of Gamepass. I’ve got enough Microsoft points to get another month of gold I could add to upgrading towards ultimate. I’m still a bit hesitant. While it’s more expensive, I like having them separate to keep my options open.
 
Halo experts, I beat 4 last night and am ready for 5. It's 100GB though. Is there anyway I can just download the campaign or do I have to install the whole game which would mean deleting games?
No, there is no work around for Halo 5. That feature came to MCC way after Halo 5 came out, and I presume they want you to have the entire game downloaded in the hopes you buy the loot boxes.

These ridiculous file sizes are why I don't have Halo 5 or Gears 4 downloaded.

That's so lame. I wish all devs were as good as Nintendo or cared as much as Nintendo does about file sizes. That or at least give us the option of downloading only the parts of the game we want to play. I recently beat Gears 2 and need to play 3 now so that huge ass Gears 4 will soon have to also fit. I will just have to delete certain games to make room. Oh well.

I think Nintendo's small filesizes are a happy accident of their lack of realistic visual styles. For whatever reason Microsoft seems to have a real problem with this though. They just don't care about compression I guess.

 
They've already given me Rare Replay, Outer Wilds, Train station something and Valiant War all for free. I couldn't care less if all of their other stuff they give me is bad. They didn't have to give me any of that. All I did was watch on a free streaming service. I only use mixer for these conferences. I am still not even really sure what it is. I am not really hip on all this streaming games stuff. People just play games with a camera on them and make money? I play a lot of video games so I just need to start streaming and random people watch me and I get money?
You’re right they didn’t have to give anything but they do to entice people away from twitch where most people watch it, same with ms rewards if they didn’t have that most people would never use bing.

Nintendo isn't making 4K games.

 
I thought the conference was great.  Gave me plenty to look forward to, while also giving me many things for the now in Gamepass additions.  Also cool that so many games are launching on GP.  I can wait as long as I need to for Halo, Cyberpunk, etc as long as the end product will be amazing.

Another thing, lots of people are worried about compatibility going forward.  I could swear they made an announcement (last year?) that everything will be compatible going forward.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

 
God, I watched the Xbox and Bethesda shows on Mixer and made the mistake of looking at the comments. Anyone else getting sick of these toxic entitled fans infecting our gaming community? Pubescent sheep spamming the F button, complaining about every game that isn't their favorite game. A bunch of idiot conservatives spamming their political shit. I'd also yell at the liberals if they did it too, but they didn't.

Triggered. Also...using the word 'our' kind makes you seem entitled. Lol
