Well this was unexpected, but Five Nights at Freddy's 1-4 are now available on Xbox One and PS4. Honestly I think the game style works best in VR, but it's nice for fans to be able to play the originals. $7.99 each is a bit steep, so I'll be waiting for a heavy discount or for them to appear on Game Pass

Yes. YESSSS. More rereleases so I don't have to go out into the wild and terrifying new world of new games and instead continue playing the ones I already own!

Also XBox One X is hooked up to my TCL and my old XBox One is now in my bedroom. *puts in a CD of Korn and begins to play "Got The Life"*

Speaking of CDs, can they be saved to the Xbox One and played during games like on the original Xbox and the 360?
 
I’m trying to finish Before the Storm since it’s leaving Gamepass soon and I don’t know if it’s me but it hasn’t grabbed me like Life is Strange 1 did. I’d like to find out more of the story but it moves so slow. Anyone else like the first one but disappointed with Before the Storm?
Same.

I’ve been using it to get the 3 achievements every 2 weeks for the weekly quest with a guide and I usually just look at my phone while the dialogue is going on and I loved the first one.

Loved that game. Reminds me I still need to finish one last challenge to get the 1k on it.

I find the voice acting to be pretty bad which kills the game for me in parts. Pretty sure I get more emotion from my phone when I ask it something. Believe it was done when the voice actors were on strike.

 
Xbox Holiday Bonus rewards coming to Xbox next week.

Some big point rewards are in there for a total of 150,500 point over 12 days

We will have to wait and see what is needed for each daily punch card.

My Friend Pedro is awesome. Kind of like if John Wick, Superhot and Hotline Miami all had side-scrolling baby. Fun stuff!

Thank you GP for another great addition!

That 50,000 points one is probably if you buy a $1,000 Microsoft tablet that day. My guess is you’ll have to spend thousands of dollars to get these points back.

I agree its fantastic I'm really liking the soundtrack to it too

edit: Getting S rank on the levels is going to be ridiculously hard, I only managed one and it was on the first boss fight

With how seamless and problemless the Daily Rewards have been, I'm sure this will go by without a hitch and no problems!

And looks like Bayonetta/Vanquish two pack coming in February 18 with 4K/60FPS on the One X.

 
even with as much of a points whore as I am I'm gonna guess about 99% of those punch cards are gonna go unpunched by me

With how seamless and problemless the Daily Rewards have been, I'm sure this will go by without a hitch and no problems!

Maybe they can glitch in our favor like not needing to buy a $1,000 tablet but yet still able to click on the 50,000 point reward :razz:

Same.
I’ve been using it to get the 3 achievements every 2 weeks for the weekly quest with a guide and I usually just look at my phone while the dialogue is going on and I loved the first one.
I’ve been using a walkthrough and guide for the graffiti. I’m just a little bit into the second episode but I’m going to skip to the extra one that has Max. If at the end of the first of three episodes feels like I don’t have an emotional connection to the story, it’s too late. Chloe isn’t a good enough character to hold the narrative.

Couldn't agree more. That said I love the series so far. I've been holding out for all the episodes to drop before starting Season 2. Probably going to do it this weekend. Hope it holds up especially being based around different characters.
In my opinion it's one of the worst cast of unlikeable characters you'll EVER meet in a video game. You just want them all to be horribly murdered with a chainsaw.

I will say Episode 4 is the hardest I've laughed at anything in years... But it's not a comedy.

That's exactly what I was afraid of. And it looks like episode 5 hasn't hit game pass yet so I'm not going to start it unit it does.

So disappointing they weren't able to stay with the first cast, maybe even write a story around one of the other main characters like Victoria for instance. Or do what 13 Reasons Why did and bring in a new character. Something other than reboot the whole series.

As one of the biggest fans alive of the first game, I completely agree. I still say it's one of the most realized, living worlds I've played and there's so much more they could have done with it. A Victoria redemption story would have been amazing!
 
Control coming to game pass would be fitting news since I just got my disc copy in today.  Guess it would still nice not to have to put in the disc.

 
Also, did anyone pick up Neverwinter Night EE?

https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/1202076626105688064

It looks like the game plays in widescreen format but the intro is still full screen maybe?  I won't find out until it goes on sale for way less than $50.  These EE D&D games should be releasing at WAY less...

Gotta think Phil just announced Control too early. I actually have this vague memory of it being talked about as a Game Pass title way back when it was shown/announced at the Xbox E3 press conference. Does anyone else remember that, or am I (possibly) psychic?

 
Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap external ssd drive for using with Xbox One? I'm looking at grabbing a - ADATA SD600Q 240GB Ultra-Speed Portable Durable External SSD for like $35. I probably missed out on some decent Black Friday deals so I don't want to pay a lot for a larger one. I only plan to have like 1 or 2 games installed at a time and hoping 240gb is good enough for a starter one for now.

I have a 1tb adata and it's good.

That drive MIGHT be too small to be supported. Web pages out there suggest that 256 GB is the minimum size that can be connected.

EDIT - My information is outdated. SASSAFRAS.

Some weird glitch.

https://account.microsoft.com/services/xboxgamepassultimate/renew?fref=billing-switchplan

Turning on recurring billing for GamePass Ultimate and going to "Switch Plan" currently shows an option to re-new daily for an 89% discount totaling $0.05. This works out to $18.25 a year. I assume it will be fixed but I'm setting it up just in case. I'm set for about 15 months still anyways.
If that's not a glitch, that's some crazy savings. How did you find this?

EDIT - I switched to it also. If it works it will be great, but having daily recurring charges on my card may become tiring...

They actually lowered the drive minimum to 128GB earlier this year. So I guess if someone wanted to get into SSD's at the minimum, you could grab one of those $15 Hyundai SSD's @ Walmart right now:

120GB - $15

240GB - $24

480GB - $43

and then just get a cable to use it externally: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011M8YACM

EDIT: oh the $15 one is 120 not 128, not sure if it's supported then lol

Thanks for the info everyone who responded so quickly. I'll have to check into that option of a cable and bare drive too I guess. I probably needed to double check how big I might need it as some game sizes are ridiculous nowadays.

Great find, thanks for sharing! I've got it set up now, we'll see how it goes when it starts. What I may do between now and then is load up on XBL gift cards and use that as the payment method.

 
Dang, $15 for a 120gb drive, you could include one to a few games, and have them be like cartridges.

I wouldn't recommend signing up for recurring billing that far out. They will likely assess charges when they actually bill you, which will be at MSRP. YMMV, but I would at a minimum check the rate again before it goes through and again after the charge goes through.

Considering how well praised and liked the first season, the lack of attention I’ve season on season 2 says a lot. From what I have seen meshes with what you are saying. I haven't seen anything good, only how bad it is.
 
I’ve been using a walkthrough and guide for the graffiti. I’m just a little bit into the second episode but I’m going to skip to the extra one that has Max. If at the end of the first of three episodes feels like I don’t have an emotional connection to the story, it’s too late. Chloe isn’t a good enough character to hold the narrative.
Kind of surprised so many people are that attached to Max. I thought she was really corny and annoying. I thought Chloe had way more depth and was a more interesting character overall. That said, I agree that the voice acting in BTS isn't great (it was made during the strike...but the bonus episode got the original voice actors back).

Anybody looking for a game in a similar vein (story-driven "walking simulator" with some interesting game mechanics) needs to check out What Remains of Edith Finch on Game Pass. That was one I kept passing on and waited for a lower sale price, but when it came to Game Pass, it was a treat to play. Really, really well done game.

 
I just bought Control over black friday so I'm indifferent about whether it comes to GP or not. If it does get officially announced I'll just sell my copy on eBay and use the money for the season pass. Great game so far, much better story/atmosphere than Quantum Break.

Someone posted it in a smaller gaming group I'm in on Facebook. I'm not sure where he found it but a lot of them mostly use ResetERA so maybe there.

My next charge isn't until February 2021. I check on it eventually.

 
I saw it posted on the xbox reddit first, but that post was removed. It seems like Microsoft applied the 90% (or was it 80%?) discount wrongly so it comes down to just $0.05 a day. I dont have a credit card in xbox live and it still worked so it would just take from my store balance .But I doubt Microsoft will keep giving you this price forever, it will probably just revert to ~ $0.49 a day.

 
I converted to the .05 a day price but it means I can't add any more time since I like to take advantage of the free month for turning on recurring payments.  But if that price holds then who needs free months? lol  I'm good until November 2022 so they have plenty of time to fix it.

Edith Finch has some really cool stuff in it, but I found the story to be very unsatisfying at the end - it seems like you don’t learn anything and nothing gets resolved.
 
Anyone know user ChrisAGarrett? He’s interested in my Fallen Order code in the Trade section, but he’s wanting me to send the code before payment. He has no posts and seems like a newer user.

Lol, always get payment first! Sounds like he’s trying to screw you to me.

I’ve just been screwed before, I sold an item on eBay once, shipped it to the buyer with tracking. UPS confirmed delivery, a month later he filed a complaint with eBay that he never got the item, they sided with the buyer and billed me for his refund. I contacted UPS and they wouldn’t do anything for me since they confirmed delivery. In the end I was out the item and got zero money and had to pay for the shipping.

It was an Xbox 360 that got RROD but I sold it saying it was RROD for just $30. I looked up the buyer since I had his name and address and found that he had been to prison since you can look up anyone’s criminal record online. My guess is he bought it thinking he could fix it, couldn’t fix it and then claimed he never got it. That was years ago though.
