There's a post on the front page for me showing nokeys has $50 for $43. Was thinking about it until I saw the site. I've only ever used cdkeys for that stuff so don't know if it is worth it/can be trusted.



Wonder if that's why only the DLC for Wildlands and not the actual game was on sale during the tom Clancy sale last week. I beat it but was thinking about picking it up to play the new missions that tie into breakpoint. Was thinking about getting breakpoint on sale but may wait to see if it hits 40% for gold on black friday/end of year sale.
I wasn't clear, but in my head I was referring to a Bing sale on Ms points, lol.
 
Breakpoint sounded like it bombed by Ubisoft standards. I could see it hitting $30-40 during the holiday sales, physical at least. Maybe not since they delayed all of their upcoming games.
Last couple years nearly every new game hit $30 somewhere if not multiple stores for Black Friday. If it didn't do well it may hit $20 or $25.
 
Breakpoint sounded like it bombed by Ubisoft standards.
Pretty much, I think it kinda got buried in all the news of their games getting delayed but they talked about Breakpoint alongside that and said they consider it a flop. Though I think the more interesting bit is that they also said Division 2 under performed by their standards, kinda surprising since it seemed like people were pretty positive on that one.

Also not surprised by the game being on sale already, don't know the history on the xbox side of things but Wildlands also had a discount on PSN 2 weeks after launch, then another much bigger one in the following month.

I've bought from nokeys before. I didn't think they were sketchy at all, pretty much equivalent to cdkeys.

G2A is the one built off stolen credit cards.

Did anyone else audibly laugh at the completion time for Oblivion being 27.5 hours?
Ha! I guess as a speed runner?
That sounds about right if you are just doing main quests and don't get lost in sidequests.
Looks like 27.5 hours matches the completion data from How Long to Beat for Main Story: https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=9854

Main story times are just that, no side quests, no item hunting.

I laugh at completion times for all games. I am a SLOW gamer. I'm sure it would annoy most people to death, but I like exploring every nook and cranny and taking my time. I even try to appreciate the art and effort it took to build the worlds. I'm not stopping and staring at stuff and i'm not some art lover by any means. I just like to go slow and appreciate it. I find my completion time is often 50% higher or more than others. When people say it took them 15 hours to finish a campaign, I usually end up well over 20 hours easily.
Most people share completion times for just the story. It sounds like you play games a little more like I do. You would get a pretty good estimate from looking at the Main + Extras times on How Long to Beat. I just took my time playing Resident Evil 4 again and it matched up to Main + Extras at about 20 hours: https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=7720

For those that are on the fence, or on the hate train, with GR Breakpoint.

Take the time to watch this video, i'm not endorsing him.. never heard of him prior to seeing this vid in my recommendations either. But I have to agree with him for the most part on the game. Some of the comments he makes i don't agree with, but he does make some very good points. Especially about the micro-transactions and the general piling on, and not actual discussion about the game.

The skills UBI were selling... yeah thats pretty bad, but they pulled that. I'm maxed out on every skill and i have a bunch just sitting there cause you can acquire more skill points than there are skills to spend them on... why would you even bother paying money for 1?

(If you read the comments on his vid now, you can tell the video has made it's way to the haters.. when I saw it the guy had a lot fewer subs and probably 80% of the comments were positive or at least civil.)

GR Breakpoint isn't perfect, but it's not bad. If you can get it for $30-40 it's worth it. And you know UBI will have fixes/DLC/Extras etc as always.

The Outer Worlds is officially awesome. I love that it starts smaller in scope than "wander this vast map to your heart's content" and has more in the way of planetary set pieces. It definitely has an element of Mass Effect in that sense, while still feeling very familiar in a spiritual-successor-to-Fallout 3 kind of way. The satirical neo-capitalism is simultaneously funny and terrifying, and gives the world a unique twist where I actually want to listen to all the dialogue.

For now I'll be playing TOW when I'm going solo and Borderlands 3 when the GF feels like joining. She and I were up late Saturday night with BL3 and she actually loves it now, which I wasn't sure would happen. Despite the issues with text and frame skipping in menus, we're having a lot of fun.

For now I'll be playing TOW when I'm going solo and Borderlands 3 when the GF feels like joining. She and I were up late Saturday night with BL3 and she actually loves it now, which I wasn't sure would happen. Despite the issues with text and frame skipping in menus, we're having a lot of fun.
What’s your character combo? I’m fl4k and my wife is gunner. She was struggling at first but now we’re up at lvl 22 and have decent guns so she likes it.

I'm using Amara because I had fun with Siren characters in past games, but I don't love her specials and may have chosen differently if I'd researched them. It's fine though. She's playing as Moze for the gunner as well, which I suggested based on the defensive specials which make Moze harder to kill and are also great assists. It was the right choice, she loves turning on the mech and does it even when it's not warranted just to blow things up.

 
I'm back from my two and half ish week vacation. What's this about Taco Bell and Game Pass Ultimate or was this a fevered dream I had?

In theory, there's a deal where you buy a Taco Bell box through the web or app and get a Game Pass Ultimate 14-day code, but I did it and never received anything, so YMMV.

 
I played Apex Legends last night for the first time since the beginning of season 1. Still plays great. I only played the halloween mode. It seems very hard to win as the legends unless you team up and have the electric fence woman. I saw that there's a few event skins you can unlock from challenges and saw online you can get a couple event packs, but didn't see how to in game. With event packs costing 7x that of regular packs it looks like you'd have to spend over $100 to get everything, bummer.
 
I think I’m giving up on 100%ing Gears POP. I keep getting matched against the same few ppl and it’s very difficult since I have spent $0 and I can tell many of the ppl still playing have pumped money into it. Also, I don’t think Seriously is the hardest achievement. I think getting to level 20 without spending money is. I’ve played almost daily since it came out and I’m level 12 but the ramp to rank up each level gets super long. Level 12 to 13 takes a lot of xp and then it will just continue to ramp.

The achievements I’m missing:
- Reach level 20
- Upgrade a pin to max level
- Get prompted to the highest league (I’ve been close on this one but then I’ll get matched against level 15 ppl that have pumped a lot of cash into the game and get destroyed)
- Earn 2,000,000 coins
- Play Horde with 20 different allies (I’m at 14/20)
- Seriously (I’m at 67,673/102,001)

The gameplay loop is super fun but yeah EA and Respawn have done some gross pricing. I wouldn’t mind throwing them $2-3 for a skin I like but I’m not paying $18 for any one skin.

We have been looking at guides and trying to plan how to re-spec, I think I didn’t understand some of the skills as I went so I need to reassign them to be better at boss killing.

Dayum. Looking at Mafia 3, Sonic, and Mummy Demastered. Really wish there would be a sale on credit
I was looking at all 3 of those too! I’ve heard great things about that Sonic and I think that’s the lowest it has been digitally.

That's exactly where I stand with Gears POP except, I cant even horde anymore since I do not get any notifications and my requests never get accepted. These days, I just play for fun / kill time.

You were the only one I ever got paired up with anyways, if you stop playing lemme know, I'll uninstall...lol

I can't be bothered to obsess over getting 100% achievements on almost anything, but I do have fun with them, so I set a personal goal of 500 points for anything I enjoy. I hit this with Gears POP a few weeks ago and then the paywall really ramped up, so I think it's stopped being fun for me as well.

 
X1 Rewards Weekly Set - Week 22

+10 Featured Game - Metro Exodus

+40 Earn 3 Achievements

+50 50 Bing Mobile searches
I just finished my 17th week. It's getting kind of boring. i just grabbed achievements from ACA Neo Geo fatal Fury 2 to complete the set.

Do any of you have the Mortal Kombat Kollection on 360 (not backwards compatible). I put myself through hell last night beating the 3 arcade games and I'd like to clean up the online achievements. There are only two easy ones but no one plays this game anymore
I have that game, i just need to hook up my xbox 360.

i know that pain from UMK3 when they shut the servers down for a year or two after Midway died.

I got a prompt in the app saying to check my email for instructions on how to get the 14 days after I placed an order, but when i set up my account i didn't turn on "receive emails" feature and I think I missed out (rookie mistake).

I have it and I still have my 360 hooked up. I am missing only one online achievement for the flawless victory.

The other one I am missing is for 200 matches but that can be completed offline.

I spent some money on gears pop and it's the same even with spending money. I hit a wall like you where I'm matched with way stronger people and if I wanted to advance I'd have to sink way more money into it. I think the pin to max level and hit level 20 are the hardest. Most of the other stuff just seems like a grind to get. I think my highest pin is 11 or 12 (not sure what the highest level is) and the credit to level them up is wicked high.

I agree with the apex pricing. I don't play enough to even have the battlepass be worth it. I just don't stick with a single game that long to be able to even hit battle pass level 20. If the event packs were the same price as standard ones I'd think about buying some, but there's only 2 or 3 skins that I like anyway so I don't feel like I'm missing out. May try to complete some challenges to get skins before it ends but may check out the Siege halloween event instead.
 
The last few Halloween events started up today, here's a round up of what I've seen:

Destiny 2 - Festival of the Lost

  • Earn and wear mask cosmetics, along with a special Masterwork weapon with a bone paint job
  • Fight through the Haunted Forest
  • Several cosmetic items available with freely earnable Bright Dust along with a some Silver-only items.

Gears 5

  • Special "Pumpkinball" playlist, Dodgeball rules but you "zombie rise" instantly from DBNO unless killed by headshot or gibbing.
  • Play 13 matches of Pumpkinball to earn Frankenstein Imago charachter
  • Special 20 wave Horde "The Mad Man’s Monsters" fighing Halloween themed Swarm
  • Complete 60 waves of this horde to unlock a full set of Pumpkin themed weapons skins.
  • A few mostly bad cosmetics available for Iron.

Overwatch (this one has already been going for two weeks so you missed out on a couple of things if you haven't played yet)

  • Junkenstein's Revenge mode is back once again, along with a few new skins.
  • Win 9 games in any non-private mode by November 4th to earn former Blizzcon ticket exclusive Demon Hunter Sombra, based on the Diablo class.

Apex Legends

Fortnite

  • The Storm King final boss from the Save The World mode has been added to the map in a special mode. 
  • This mode was glitched and unavailble this morning so I don't actually know what it is.
  • Some free challenges for items, new stuffing coming to the store, and an $18 bundle of three Halloween skins
  • Creative also has several spooky modes available that also have challenges, including one that is similar to CoD's Zombies.
  • Save The World (PvE) also has Halloween characters and weapons, and a new haunted house storyline.

I feel ya. I hate playing games just to get the achievements, but I don't want to break my streak. I also love getting free stuff from Microsoft Rewards. But it's getting to the point that I don't play games that have easy achievements until I hit a week where getting the three achievements unlocks points. I never cared what week I played a game on before.

Know everyone is obsessed with Outer Worlds right now, but be sure to give Afterparty a try. It’s hilarious. So glad it also went live at launch on GP too.

I need those online achievements as well. Hit me up to coordinate

I have a level 50 Zane. Kind of wish I didn't pick him for my first play through. Just finished a second normal play through with Amara. She is much more fun and I think better for end game play. Finished the game at level 34 and now need to do some sides or whatever to get her up to 50. I only struggled a couple of times with her playing it solo. Zane I couldn't beat 2 or 3 bosses on my own.

Think I am going to give Outer Worlds a try. I am not a Fallout fan but seems this game is more Fallout lite then fallout. Guess we will see. Figured it is getting rave reviews and I have it anyway might as well fire it up.

I'll create a ranked UMK3 match in the Mortal Kombat Kollection in an hour at 12:20 AM Eastern Time and keep it running for awhile. Maybe a couple of us can knock it out :) Edit: Ended my lobby at 3:20 AM EST

Let me or w00dm4n know if you still need these achievements

I'm thinking about biting on Vampyr at $15 even though the physical version has been down to $10. I only need $6 more for the Shoctober punch card to get 4,000 points

What's the payout for going that long? After I finish this week I'll be at week 7 and earn 500 points.
Week 10 is 1000 points, then it's week 20 for 2500 and week 30 for another 2500.... we'll see what happens when someone get's beyond that

Did it for a few hours tonight. Worked well!
Nice yeah I'm in the lowly beta ring, haha but I've officially started to look at controller clips on Amazon :p

i already have the achievements. I'm going to leave mine in mk1 so we don't keep getting matched up lol.

Thanks for helping me out :)

I thought the achievement for 200 wins (offline) would be a pain but I finished that in 45 minutes. Beating the arcade games counted so I only needed 141 more

Now who wants to do 100+ online matches of Fatal Fury Special.....

..... and a 15 in Street Fighter II HF

I was playing King of Fighters 94 and the achievements started popping last week. So after playing Fatal Fury 2 i made a save state and quit the game. I have COD:MW and the awful wwe 2k20 sitting here waiting for next Tuesday Morning.

plus 50 Bing searches isn't fun. I don't know why since i use google all the time.

Just Google ... whoops, I mean Bing 1 through 20 for a few days. You can keep track of your max searches for the day easily by searching literally a number.

When I get up in the morning, I turn on my Xbox One and take care of the daily searches for the PC requirement there. Then, I do the mobile ones on my phone or on my Chromebook. Typically, I'll just put something like "local restaurants" or "movies" into the search engine and just click on the pictures until I get them all. The key is to make doing the searches part of your daily routine. After a while, you won't think about it. Of course, I don't have children or pets that I have to care for, so I typically have plenty of time to do it - a max of five minutes each.

Then you should also check your email for any emails that you received from Microsoft. They typically don't expire, but they give about 50 points each.

I just use the Bing app, do an image search for something like purple or Christmas and keep clicking the tags because that counts as a separate search. I did 50 in like 3 minutes.

Same, came here to say something similar for the weekly quest. I do them when I'm sitting on hold on the phone, which happens frequently at work. It's super quick on a tablet.

I have had a similar experience. Thought Zane would be fun to play and be more like Axton from BL2 but he just feels weak. Cant take much damage and doesn't deal a lot of damage. Leveled him to 50 playing coop online with my brother but yet to finish the story. Started an Amara play thru as well but haven't gotten further than the opening. Its still a fun game but I wish I could tank like my brother playing Moze.
