Little off topic, but I had an issue that my time talking with a MS rep didn't help.  

My 4gb Xbox 360 just died, I turned it on, the fan got really loud, turned it off and back on and it did it again and then the red ring.  Now while it still bings if you hit the power or eject button, it won't power on.  I can replace it just fine but I had several gamertags on the 4gb internal memory, and I bought games with those tags, so I'm assuming with a new xbox 360, the games I bought wouldn't have the licenses to play them.  I remember one gamertag besides my main and I'm not sure how I can retrieve them, the rep could only locate them with an email and all the emails I still use weren't associated with them.  These go back 8-10 years ago.    

Any idea how I can retrieve them or how I could find someone to fix it even just long enough to find out the gamertags and what games were saved on the HD, I have 2 official hard drives with the bulk of the games on there, I'm also not technical so no matter how easy it is, I can't do it myself but can gladly throw money at someone who can!  

Sorry if that is long winded, any help would be appreciated!

 
Reddit is saying that the announced Civilization iv will be missing a dlc but that Xbox users can buy separate.

It started with Spider-Man but Sony keeps throwing bags of cash at poor developers to be their bitches and consumers second. It boggles my mind a little because the console wars are so cold right now leading into next box and ps5. Also Xbox and switch have been expressing interests to work together and seem to be focused more on other markets like mobile and cloud.

Eh, Microsoft is buying so many studios under the sun and tossing money at a bunch of indie developers with Game Pass that really I don't see this as that big of a deal. Plus Insomniac at it's heart has always been a Sony company regardless.

Also does one piece of DLC that we have to pay for in a game that is being launched with a $50 season pass really make that big a difference?

Well then ...

Frogwares has confirmed that its library of games are being delisted by publisher Focus Home Interactive, who are refusing to hand over the title IDs to the developer. Some of Frogwares' Sherlock Holmes games and Magrunner: Dark Pulse are the titles currently affected, with Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments the only game still listed.
 
That's set to end on 29th September, when Focus Home Interactive plans to take the game down from digital storefronts including the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, and Steam, and The Testament of Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper have already been removed.

Someone joked about being out of Earth Defense Force games to be given away but man i wish we would run out of movie tie in 360 games.  

I really wanted to find something redeeming in Ninja Gaiden 3 but it is as awful as everyone says.  It feels like a poorly done fan game.

 
Random Deal roundup:

No Man's Sky is $9 at a lot of Targets, check your local stock here: https://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/?sku=207-32-0009

Target gives you a coupon for $50 off 100+ if you're approved for a debit or credit REDcard before 9/28. It has exclusions (like xbox one hardware) but probably worth it for the debit card. Coupon will be mailed with your card: https://www.target.com/c/redcard/-/N-4tfyn

Raise sent me another free $5 yesterday, YMMV. Expires tonight.

PC gamers: The next 2 free games are up on the Epic Store for this week: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/collection/free-games-collection

Swagbucks users: There's a iOS offer for Lifelock. Spend $9 for 2 months in a row and get $75 in swagbucks. $57 moneymaker.

YMMV Slickdeals has a free $3 ebay coupon, log in and check this page to see if you have one. https://slickdeals.net/single_coupon/ebay/

go save some money CAGs

 
Bummer to hear about Ninja Gaiden 3, I oddly never got around to it and the original was the very first thing I played on my Xbox 360. Yeah I typed that right. I like to do things backwards and never owned an original Xbox.

-Regarding licenses: you can do a License Transfer, but you'll need to be signed in to the account on the new console. Without a license transfer, you'd still be able to download/play your games for the currently logged in tag, but you'd have to be connected to the Internet every time, and I don't think it would allow another profile to play the game unless the profile that bought it was signed in as well. So yeah, do a license transfer.

-Regarding the accounts: If you don't remember the gamertag, and none of your emails match up, then yeah it seems like the only way to see them would be to get the console up and running again. There are plenty of extremely detailed DIY guides out there, but if you're not looking to do it yourself then I'd recommend searching for something like "Xbox red ring repair service" in your area. Either that, or having MS fix it.

 
To brighten the tone after the GWG announcement, ID@XBOX just put up their little 11 minute showcase vid for the month/season? Everything is coming to GamePass and some really good looking stuff.

Ewwww Ninja Gaiden 3, Barf.
beat me to it but yea yuck
Why do you guys say yuck to Ninja Gaiden? This is Razor's Edge, the improved version which fixes many of the mistakes from 3. I've always preferred this series over Devil May Cry or God of War. If you're up for some politically incorrect humor, two of the characters from Dead or Alive guest star in this game. There's a scene where a henchman with a gun is like, "yea big titties", and she slices him up with a sword.
 
Bummer to hear about Ninja Gaiden 3, I oddly never got around to it and the original was the very first thing I played on my Xbox 360. Yeah I typed that right. I like to do things backwards and never owned an original Xbox.
It was the first NG game they did after Itakagi left Tecmo. I don't know if that was the blow that really messed up the game though since Devil's Third was trash. Team Ninja has been all over the place with quality basically since after NG2. Now they seem focused on making boob simulator Dead or Alive as appealing to the costume buying "whales" as possible, so I don't know if they'll ever go back to a real Ninja Gaiden again. I think the people that really give a shit about that kind of game are working on the Ni-oh series now, which is pretty good.

But what if Ninja Gaiden 3 as a whole was a mistake and there was nothing fun or good at all about that game? Also your sales pitch is terrible.

Goddamit, I thought that was Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge.
It is.

I'm only saying yuck because nothing in the lineup really interests me personally

 
Only game I have played is Bolt. Think my roommate owns Friday the 13th so will try that out a bit maybe.

Someone joked about being out of Earth Defense Force games to be given away but man i wish we would run out of movie tie in 360 games.

I really wanted to find something redeeming in Ninja Gaiden 3 but it is as awful as everyone says. It feels like a poorly done fan game.
I'm surprised we haven't gotten far cry 3 on the 360 yet since we've gotten so many ubi games before EDF.

 
While this is an incredibly weak lineup for GWG, Tembo the Badass Elephant is a good game.
Second this. Oddly, this game was developed by GameFreak who have made most of the mainline Pokemon games and Giga Wrecker Alt.

It is an excellent platformer with a great skill curve and some fun boss fights. Great character animations as well.

If you're going for a full completion there is an easy grind after completing the game, but it will take a few hours.

Highly recommend if you enjoy Donkey Kong games.

 
Eh, Microsoft is buying so many studios under the sun and tossing money at a bunch of indie developers with Game Pass that really I don't see this as that big of a deal. Plus Insomniac at it's heart has always been a Sony company regardless.

Also does one piece of DLC that we have to pay for in a game that is being launched with a $50 season pass really make that big a difference?
I was more referring to Sony’s role in spider man the movie and the kerfuffle with disney and marvel. I also don’t think buying up studios is close to asking developers and publishers to exclude game modes (cod) or parts of games. Regardless of the season pass you’re paying $60 plus that dlc. Sony made it so ps4 fans get it for $60.

So off topic but to me this is a big thing in our world right now. Someone up top is fucking around doing stupid stuff and you can either be a check cashing sheep or stand up for the masses. I’m continually surprised by all the sheep.

I'm an indie fan and I don't think a single game in this video hit with me. Of course I already own Yooka Laylee and Talos Principal or those would be exciting gets. The cartoony Diablo looking game looks okay as does the Darkest Dungeon clone and the downhill bike game, but again they only looked okay. I guess we'll see, at least they're free.

As for GWG, Tembo is a great get. I don't know how many times I have almost pulled the trigger when it was on sale, but now getting it free is nice. The rest though.. well at least we get Tembo.

Yep. Have almost bought it a few times on sale, so I'm happy about this.
 
I'm super excited for Talos Principal to hit Gamepass. I've always been interested but it never hit my buy point so free is perfect.

I thought Bolt was recently delisted so that's cool I think we're getting one last chance for everyone to have it
 
I played NG3 when it released on the Wii U - back when it was supposed to be an exclusive - and it was very meh, but I’m down to play it again on Xbox to see if anything is better and also, well, achievements. I do remember being frustrated by the first boss even on Normal mode, so I ended up playing it on Easy all the way through, so I’m wondering if it’s any different or if I’ll just take the safe path and play through for fun instead of challenge again.

 
Been cleaning up my house the last week or so. Ended up selling my Pokemon card collection from 20 years ago for $160.

Xbox ended up being dead, but with some trades and my employee discount I ended up only needing $100 to get the replacement, so I'm up $60 and about where I was before that power surge. Still probably going to old off on Borderlands 3 for now.

Now I just need to redownload 1 terabyte for the second time this year.
where they in your ready to install list? or did u have to remember what games you had to download?

 
Friday the 13th is a better game than people give it credit for. I rarely play online but when they gave it away for free on PS plus my buddy (who owns it on Xbox already) claimed it too and convinced me to play with him. Admittedly, I probably wouldn’t have liked it as much if I hadn’t had him there in the early stages to help and guide me, but we’ve had some pretty good times playing together. I’m really glad to get it on Xbox even though I already own it because of his wife is home they play together or not at all and they game share on Xbox but only have one PlayStation.
 
I would trade every Games with gold title for the last 6 months for a dashboard that didn’t pop drop and lock like a break dancer doing the robot.

Vambrace Cold Soul was actually on my wish list to get on sale. It didn't look good enough for full price, mostly because I'm not sure how the roguelike party building will match up with the linear levels and narrative focus. Like, what if the protagonist dies? Do you carry on with another character picking up the story, go back to town to revive, or game over?


Surge 2 is fantastic. Still a bit finicky targeting the part you want, especially in a crowd, but they fixed a lot of problems from the first game. There's still a good feeling of weight to your mech suit, but combat has a much better flow to it. Their earlier soulslikes felt really stiff and slow, and I think they've finally struck a good balance of speed and bulkiness. I also really like that you're no longer pigeonholed into using one weapon type because of skill progress, so now anytime I find a new weapon it could become my new main. I'm still pretty early on, but I heard from Skill Up and ACG that the level variety is much better than the first game.
 
Friday the 13th was one of my favorite games of all time until last year when the developers seemingly tried to sabotage it with each new patch

I'm sure the game itself is fine, but the people running it don't seem to be great at it. There was an incident near when the game first released where someone was trying to play a match online, and got grouped with a bunch of little kids who were friends of someone on the development team. One of them was selected to be Jason, and the other kids played as the camp counselors, but they were team-killing the other counselors and helping Jason. The guy cussed at the kids and got permanently banned from the game.
 
Friday the 13th Is pretty fun when you learn how it works. The first few times you play it you won't know what to do. Basically you have to teach yourself what to do.

If you are a camper. Try to watch the others and see where they go. If the campers stick together you can fight Jason off. If you all scatter and hide Jason will pick you off one by one. Either get the items to leave or fight Jason. You then have to go back to his hut with his mask and stab It to win. ( This rarely happens) the really only way to win as the campers is to use the boat. The car takes to long and to many parts to get. You can call in the police also by finding radios in the cabins. While it's funny and generally a last resort to get away from Jason to jump out the window. Just remember the breaking glass makes noise and also makes the character panic so while you're running away Jason can now track you.

If you are Jason use the powers and look for red blurs and sounds in the woods try to fast travel to in front of the sounds. Knock on the doors to the cabins and see if you can get the scare meter up. Then you can "see" the capers as they start freaking out.

i played the game for about 400 hours, i disagree with most of what you said LOL

first thing you do as a camper is raid the drawers in cabins to find pocket knives, first aid sprays, phone fuse, or the car keys

only follow other counselors when you actually know them, the game is full of trolls so you don't want to follow them unless you are well armed with a bat, knife, and first aid

i always played solo and became a master at escaping

avoid the boat, it makes a sound to let jason know you started it and all he has to do is morph to the exit to drown you before you get there, fix the car and drive off road but that takes some practice

jason can track you no matter what you escape by conserving stamina, juking, and being good with weapons though the weapons are useless once he gets rage, which imo ruined the game

 
Found some ancient codes that expired 12 years ago. The codes for Joust and 100 Microsoft points are dead, but the Gold sub worked. That sucks that 3 months of Gold only converts to 1 month of Ultimate though.

where they in your ready to install list? or did u have to remember what games you had to download?
Yeah, X1 is much smoother than 360 when trying to start on a new console. Your ready to install list just has everything you own. I do have about 450 digital games so I had to look over it a couple times to queue up all the stuff I think I'll play within a couple weeks. Same with GamePass stuff. The stuff that's more of a pain is getting my game share up and running again with my cousin, and slowly queuing up the disc games I need. Console setting are backed up online too so I didn't really have to tweak any of that.

Started working on the 9 wins to get Lego Bastion in Overwatch, looks like 4 days left.

Don't play bastion too much but like the skin. Wonder why it wasn't officially labeled as lego. I know lego doesn't like to associate with mature themed properties but overwatch is rated T and they have official overwatch legos.

Similar to past events it has bonus content for watching twitch, 4 icons and 3 sprays. Also ends in 4 days.

 
Ninja Gaiden 3. Wooooooooooooooooooo.



Oh, not that one?  Eh, I'll take it. I'm still battling the first one on my Xbox 360 so knowing I don't have to pay for it later (whether I like the game or not) is still a win.

I don't have any of next month's games so great GWG selections for October.

 
That's actually a really varied and cool October month. I gotta rebeat ninja gaiden 2 on my X. Sadly I don't think they X enhanced Ninja Gaiden 3. But free is free.

I’m suddenly reminded of that meme of Michael Fassbender saying “I prefer the real Ninja Gaiden 3”

I used the skin today and it took some getting used to because they changed the sounds his gun and turret make (while also having a different animation for the projectiles coming out of his gun. Probably one of my favorite skins though because of the small changes (feel like it might be the first time that it was more than just a skin, although, I haven't used all of them or even unlocked all of them).

 
Just tried downloading the FIFA 20 trial from ea access by clicking through the FIFA 20 6000 points punch card and no points, just incase someone was wondering if it would work.
