Any discussion like this is all opinion based, so there's no right or wrong. But there's always a consensus and you seem to pride yourself on being in the minority. It's definitely in my personal top three so far for the year along with DMC5 and The Division 2 as I think those are head and shoulders above the rest.
I'm not saying it's not good, but the guy I quoted said its "one of the top games of the generation" even though it's not even the top game of its year very early on in the year.

uh you said you didn't play it right?
I didn't play it. The guy I quoted said that.

I think I've only picked up 1 2019 release so far, and I don't know if it can be dethroned from its current default place as my personal GOTY - Tetris 99.

 
My game of the year so far is Infamous: Second Son because it's the last game I remember beating this year and because holding a controller sideways and pretending it's a spray paint can is one of the most gimmicky and ingenious things ever this generation.

so if you didn't play it, who are you to say how good it is or what it's worth?

 
Going to Chicago next week for a conference. Never been, any must-see destinations? Retro gaming heavens, etc?
I've never been to Chicago, but if I were to go :

  • Cubs game at Wrigley Field (they have a home series vs. the Diamondbacks next Fri-Sun)
  • Field Museum of Natural History - Sue the T-rex and the rest of the dinosaurs
  • Whatever the Sears Tower is now called

Check out “disc replay” they got a bunch around different locations. I find the prices to be decent. They got games, movies, toys...if your into to box games they don’t seem to tax for that.
 
What is a backlog if it doesn't have multiple copies of the same Resident Evil game across multiple consoles? A miserable pile of secrets! A not very good backlog thing!
I own at least four copies of RE4, that were all bought after I played and beat the game years ago. I get it every time it’s re-released, lol
 
Has anyone been able to get   MX vs ATV Reflex to unlock on the "Pedel to the medal" game pass quest. 

Seems like every month the only quest I'm going on is to get my points unlocked from microsoft. 

 
I've gone to Chicago a few times for Anime Central but didn't really go out to the city itself much. I went to whatever park "The Bean" is at and it was pretty nice, though the art piece itself was swarming with a lot of people. Ex was an amateur photographer and she seemed to like the location for that.

Do people seriously not have WeeeDoo on their ignore lists?

I haven't been since the American nightmare show in 2013(?) but always had a good time whenever I went. Got some reminders of stuff from my brother who lived there for a bit with his wife who grew up there:

Graham cracker comics and chicago comics if you're into comics. Second coming records, but know you said it can be rough bringing those back when you asked about Boston. Not sure about video game places but my brother said he thinks there is/was one on the same block as Chicago comics.

The bean/millennium park are good as well as navy pier. Always liked the shedd aquarium and it seemed a lot brighter than the new England aquarium if you went there in Boston.

There's also the Adler planetarium, field museum, and museum of science & industry.
 
Thanks for all of the great advice. In completely non-CAG fashion, I decided to go ahead and get RE2. I plan to play it in the next few weeks, although I might try to play REmake first.

The Science museum there is one of the coolest places on earth. Also go up sears tower.....super crazy feeling the building move when the wind blows. Of course if your a foodie prepare yourself for heaven on earth. I highly recommend an italian beef and you must order it wet.

I'll do you one better. I own four different versions on 4 different platforms....and have NEVER played it on any system.

Ever since getting my X1X I have fired up the ps4 once.. I’m keeping it, but yeah... it’s a dust magnet anymore.

Started this gen super strong, finished super weak. Xbox and Nintendo are much better. And for Nintendo that’s a huge deal (for me anyway)


Edit: The Division 2 is my personal top contender for goty, nothing else comes close. (Got to world tier 4 100% solo) And I see nothing on the horizon (yet) that I think could beat it. I don’t do fighters anymore, and I’ve never cared for the RE series (flame suit is on)
Division 2 is amazing... though I will say that the last RE to come out, I believe it was 7? Was a great game IMO. Coming from someone who had only played RE1 and half of Code Veronica.

See, there's nothing wrong with paying for a game that you're actually going to play. The issue comes when you have hundreds of games that you've spent $30 or more on that you haven't even installed for YEARS. Geez... I feel so bad typing that. It's funny I've purchased so many newer games in the trade forums here for $30-$40, thinking I got an amazing deal... only to see the same games hit $5 or $10 years later before they've been booted up. I'm sure many can relate. The only purchase that I don't feel stupid about, actually, was the price glitch on the Resident Evil Collection for like $20 or something. Still haven't installed any of them though :)

 
Tempted to give up on my PS4. Between Netflix, Hulu, X1 games, and my Switch, I just don't see the time to get around to "those awesome exclusives" that PS offers. I can probably cash it all in at Gamestop for $300 or so.
After using my PS4 only for Netflix/Hulu and PSVR when guests visit for over a year, I dove in and completed Horizon Zero Dawn (complete) over a couple weeks. It was awesome. Now I need to find time to cram in Shadow of the Colossus remake, Last Guardian, Ratchet and Clank, Detroit, God of War, Spiderman, and a handful of PSVR games.

So hard to ignore Gamepass games. Working my way through >Observer_ right now and it is phenomenal. Not everyone's cup of tea but it is an amazingly atmospheric cyberpunk adventure game. It's quite a maze navigating through Eastern European cyberpunk slums, so have a guide handy.

Saw a quick look of Dangerous Driving on Giant Bomb. Their approach to the soundtrack is interesting. They integrate Spotify in place of an actual soundtrack, even lets you change tracks and stuff in game with the D-pad ala the way we once had it on the 360 with background music. Actually a neat idea to save some money since their a very small team. Problem is only works with a paid version of Spotify, don't like that part. 

 
Nope only sound effects, it's a pretty bold decision that I don't think is going to be received very well at all when people find out after they bought it.

Not sure if everyone will be able to get it, was just checking gamepass on the site and 1 month is $1 and 3 month is 50% off. I bought the 3 month as I already had it and could not get the 1 month for $1 and I tried to get the 3 month again and it came up with -

We can’t process your payment.

Why would this happen? I will add after buying the 3 months I had to take off auto renew to be able to buy again.

Don't think I have seen it yet but here are the games leaving Gamepass this month:

Homefront: The Revolution
OlliOlli2: XL Edition
Outlast
Sheltered
Sonic & Knuckles
Unmechanical: Extended

I know Walmart deals are always a big YMMV but my local Walmart had several new games marked with white tickets for $49.54. Some of the games included Anthem, Kingdom Hearts 3, DmC 5, The Division 2, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Both Xbox and PS4.
 
Pretty sure others have mentioned, but there’s a buy 3 months, get 3 months of Game Pass at Amazon right now. Just found out tonight though that Best Buy has the free extra 3 months if you buy the 6 month sub (didn’t see a 3 month available in their app) - not as good a deal, but if you have some BB credit it might be worth looking at.

I was just at my local Walmart here in Southern California and I picked up Transformers Devastion for $3. Though it isn't BC, its supposedly a good Platinum Games title. Also, I got a super thin X1/360 case which was Call of Duty Ghosts for $1 - which contained a download code for the game, no disc. I figured why not, only 100 pennies. YMMV

That Dangerous Driving paid Spotify requirement for a soundtrack since they didn't license any music is a HUGE bummer. Guess I'll wait till its 67% off so I can get it for sub $10. To me, that isn't bold. That's a massive assumption and a misstep in the end. Color me sad

Has anyone been able to get MX vs ATV Reflex to unlock on the "Pedel to the medal" game pass quest.

Seems like every month the only quest I'm going on is to get my points unlocked from microsoft.
Right there with you. Have everything else checked off but that's the only hold up. It's also the only 360 game on the list so that probably has something to do with it.

General FYI it looks like The Division 2 should go on sale a day or two before the rewards quests officially end, so that might be a nice bonus.

Also the Hot Deal is set to change during the spring sale so that's something to watch out for as well. Seems like its about time for an xbox live or gift card one but knowing our luck it'll be skype credit.

So you're saying if I buy Borderlands GOTY I'll get enough back for another 3 months of GamePass to totally justify the cost....I'm like 2000 points away from another code on MS Rewards probably not making it

 
During that discussion on best comedies, know a few people mentioned Chuck. The complete series is on sale on iTunes for $19.99 today.
Chuck is one of my favorite shows. The only problem was how they(like many shows) have a rushed and disappointing final season. Psych is another one of my favorite comedies that Hans that problem. Chuck is definitely worth that.

Sounds like it depending on how much you currently get back per dollar. You should be able to clear 2000 points in the next 9-10 days with searches and they daily set of activities even without the current double mobile promo. ~300*9=2700.

But if you're just looking for a excuse to buy Borderlands GOTY, it sounds totally justifiable to me.

 
Check out “disc replay” they got a bunch around different locations. I find the prices to be decent. They got games, movies, toys...if your into to box games they don’t seem to tax for that.
. Ours is called Mega Replay. It's a massive thing composed of movies, games, tech, Funko and Loot Crate toys. Some of their used prices on games are hit and miss, like take 14 to 17% off the top there Squirrelly Dan, but they draw you in with everything else


Edit: about Chuck, season 5. I can't...I just can't do it. I want the closure but just how they set up and started it kills me. I'd rather cry over Eureka's final season and that last scene 100x

Pretty lame really. It's nice that the game won't suffer the licensed music fate of some car games, but it pretty dumb to not at least have some original music in game. Even the smallest indie devs either have a composer on the team or spare the cash to outsource something. Every time I hear about this team they seem a little too "budget" for their own good. I feel like it's hurting the perception of their games.

 
got me beat I’ve only got to copies of RE4 I’ve never played.
Hmm... I bought RE4 5 times. Beat it on GC, Wii, and 360. Haven't played on PS4 or Xbox One X (plan to soon). Now I wonder what game I've purchased the most

The sentiment I've seen for awhile is this is a small team that's building to something, since the Dangerous Golf release. They are figuring out engines and going to make their ultimate game. Umm this is a lot of the brains behind Burnout this is the game that this all was supposed to be heading towards. I don't think they really have a ton to figure out, just budget and what can we charge for these games. Watched the vids, I'm not sure that's a $39.99 game.

 
I get the no music thing being a bummer for some, but it doesn't bother me. I agree they should have gone for some cheap music instead of nothing, the Spotify thing feels like they cut a deal and I can't blame them too much when we don't know how the other games have sold. And the game is currently $27.
