Hmm... $5 for Turok might be worth it for a nostalgia playthrough

thats what i thought just not sure if i wanna buy it seeing as how i didnt play much of the 360 version
I wasn't sure either. I was almost sold on the 4k/HDR/Texture upgrades, but it was the ability to transfer my level 26 Xbox 360 character and finish the game from where I left off that made me bite.

My favorite part of the Jax ending was learning that mortal kombat has lore and people actually follow it. I always thought it was just about cutting people in half.
 
Any Scorpio owners having problems with disc drive? Insert disc, but nothing kicks in, have to eject, then hit top of xbox a couple of times (not too hard) then disc tends to read again

No, but I’m getting the local saved game corrupt error every damn time I play a game now.
 
Yeah, I'm sure Jax ending where he uses time travel to stop the American slave trade from existing really upset enough rational, definitely-not-shitheads to the point that it actually affected sales. The Shao Kahn thing is a bit cringe, but these guys that jump on the SJW bandwagon for every game are mostly just crazy.

The Battlefield V situation is the only one that I really think had any sort of merit since some of the devs were being antagonistic about it.
Jax's ending is him creating a black ethnostate in Africa, which is strange to any long time fan because he has always been the most patriotic character in the game

https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=AwrJ7F30s8dcaXcAEhNXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE0b21rMHZmBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDQjY4MjFfMQRzZWMDcGl2cw--?p=jax+mortal+kombat+2&fr2=piv-web&fr=yfp-t#id=3&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FW7ShKLTe15E%2Fhqdefault.jpg&action=click

anyways i bought the game on release day and have no regrets

 
I just love watching the tighty righties get an ulcer over it. It's funny how quickly the "u mad bro?" crowd get offended when you push the right buttons.

Eh, these characters have been around for 27 years at this point with one continuous story line the entire time., not that surprising that people are attached.

 
Picked up starlord skin and guardians glider with vbucks I had from the last season after getting the free battle pass

I probably won’t buy a other battle pass as I hardly played this season.
 
For those that completed "Pedal to the Medal" how long did the 360 achievement take to pop? I got achievements from launching the game in X1 mode and 360 mode but still no check mark?
It hasn’t popped for me after multiple achievements weeks ago. I gave up.
I contacted MS Rewards and they said there was a configuration issue with the quest, which was identified and fixed. They manually credited my account for 600 points. If the achievement hasn't popped for you I would recommend contacting MS Rewards.

I love watching people rewrite history to blame America...

(Africans enslaved Africans.......... who SOLD them to Europeons, who then took them to Europe *and* to the new world, which years and years later became the USA. Africans STILL enslave Africans to this day. Where's your outrage against that?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade
Some light reading from Wikipedia. (just easiest to pull from, and it's not a *right wing* website...)
African slavery
Main article: Slavery in Africa

Group of men, children, and women being taken to a slave market
Slavery was prevalent in many parts of Africa[16] for many centuries before the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade. There is evidence that enslaved people from some parts of Africa were exported to states in Africa, Europe, and Asia prior to the European colonization of the Americas.[17]

The Atlantic slave trade was not the only slave trade from Africa, although it was the largest in volume and intensity. As Elikia M'bokolo wrote in Le Monde diplomatique:

The African continent was bled of its human resources via all possible routes. Across the Sahara, through the Red Sea, from the Indian Ocean ports and across the Atlantic. At least ten centuries of slavery for the benefit of the Muslim countries (from the ninth to the nineteenth) ... Four million enslaved people exported via the Red Sea, another four million[18] through the Swahili ports of the Indian Ocean, perhaps as many as nine million along the trans-Saharan caravan route, and eleven to twenty million (depending on the author) across the Atlantic Ocean.[19]

According to John K. Thornton, Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states.[20] Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them.[21] A reminder of this practice is documented in the Slave Trade Debates of England in the early 19th century: "All the old writers ... concur in stating not only that wars are entered into for the sole purpose of making slaves, but that they are fomented by Europeans, with a view to that object."[22] People living around the Niger River were transported from these markets to the coast and sold at European trading ports in exchange for muskets and manufactured goods such as cloth or alcohol.[23] However, the European demand for slaves provided a large new market for the already existing trade.[24] While those held in slavery in their own region of Africa might hope to escape, those shipped away had little chance of returning to Africa.

and more

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa

I didn't buy MK11, not because of this BS, not because of the microtransactions, but because I haven't cared to play a fighting game in well over a decade... Everything else I just find funny.

Oh. and you want to see a button push to watch a leftist go nuts?

Tell them Trump won, and he still is your president. :mrgreen:

 
Picked up starlord skin and guardians glider with vbucks I had from the last season after getting the free battle pass

I probably won’t buy a other battle pass as I hardly played this season.
I'm hoping we get another free pass from Overtime but with the Apex hype pretty much gone they probably don't feel like they need too.

 
I'm sure everyone here knows  the Trans Atlantic Slave trade isn't a simple black and white issue and nobody here said anything about blaming it on America.

Jax's ending  also doesn't say anything about blaming America or any group of people. Just that he went to change history, fucked it up a few times, and eventually made the world a better place for everyone. Showing 7 black people in the NRS version of Wakanda somehow translating into an ethnostate is reaching beyond the stars.

 
I love watching people rewrite history to blame America...
(Africans enslaved Africans.......... who SOLD them to Europeons, who then took them to Europe *and* to the new world, which years and years later became the USA. Africans STILL enslave Africans to this day. Where's your outrage against that?)


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade

Some light reading from Wikipedia. (just easiest to pull from, and it's not a *right wing* website...)
African slavery
Main article: Slavery in Africa
Group of men, children, and women being taken to a slave market
Slavery was prevalent in many parts of Africa[16] for many centuries before the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade. There is evidence that enslaved people from some parts of Africa were exported to states in Africa, Europe, and Asia prior to the European colonization of the Americas.[17]
The Atlantic slave trade was not the only slave trade from Africa, although it was the largest in volume and intensity. As Elikia M'bokolo wrote in Le Monde diplomatique:
The African continent was bled of its human resources via all possible routes. Across the Sahara, through the Red Sea, from the Indian Ocean ports and across the Atlantic. At least ten centuries of slavery for the benefit of the Muslim countries (from the ninth to the nineteenth) ... Four million enslaved people exported via the Red Sea, another four million[18] through the Swahili ports of the Indian Ocean, perhaps as many as nine million along the trans-Saharan caravan route, and eleven to twenty million (depending on the author) across the Atlantic Ocean.[19]
According to John K. Thornton, Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states.[20] Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them.[21] A reminder of this practice is documented in the Slave Trade Debates of England in the early 19th century: "All the old writers ... concur in stating not only that wars are entered into for the sole purpose of making slaves, but that they are fomented by Europeans, with a view to that object."[22] People living around the Niger River were transported from these markets to the coast and sold at European trading ports in exchange for muskets and manufactured goods such as cloth or alcohol.[23] However, the European demand for slaves provided a large new market for the already existing trade.[24] While those held in slavery in their own region of Africa might hope to escape, those shipped away had little chance of returning to Africa.

Does this guy have something to prove or what? Sheesh!
 
Regardless of your opinion on MK11, anyone else tired of movies and games getting overtly political just because they know they’ll get a ton of attention?
 
Research "woke" and you'll start putting it together... It's always been used to blame America and it's values/history.

Goes back to the 1940's, it's not new. BLM brought it back in force after Travon Martin.

 
I keep looking at Nier... why can’t it be $19.99... it should be by Christmas, right?

My nephews got me back into Hearthstone this weekend. They kicked my butt because my decks are from the classic version and they have had a ton of expansions... the meta has changed completely since I built by decks.

The Star-Lord set is live in Fortnite. Skin looks a bit better in full detail.

Star-Lord - 1500 v-bucks

Dance Off emote - 500

Guardian Axe (this is trash) - 500

Milano glider (pretty cool, has the space travel grid thing as an effect) - 1200

The Endgame event has a week left. I assume they'll bring Black Widow and her stuff back for at least one more day at the end, but they haven't said. There are some free things to earn still, including a good glider.

I got it as well. Couldn't pass it up. Real shame they didn't more skins. Also I hate how it glitches and sorts them all over the place in the locker lol. I'm like can't you put them together since they are their own category.

I just love watching the tighty righties get an ulcer over it. It's funny how quickly the "u mad bro?" crowd get offended when you push the right buttons.

I hope they do the free Battle Pass but like you I don't think they are. I do like the knew variants for the skins though. And the challenges don't look to bad this time.

 
Got an email from Microsoft about amazing rewards for buying game of thrones from the marketplace. Purchase season 8 for $27 and get an iron throne avatar prop or for the low price of $200 get the entire series and a night king mask and Daenerys costume. As much as I like game of thrones that's not much of an incentive to spend that much money.

I only play casually and it usually takes me at least a month to figure out new mechanics because I can't be bothered to research it online. You'd think there'd be some kind of in game tutorials for all the mechanics instead of figuring it out on your own.

Hmm the blu ray is listed for $249.99 right now at most places. It'll go on sale later down the line when the 4K version is released. You could easily buy the $249.99 set and turn around and sell the codes for $50 and basically it would be the same price.

Wish they'd finally release the free PVE they've been promising for years.

$250 is a rough price too considering you can get a boxset of 1-7 for $120 on Amazon. Not sure if the whole series includes more than the individual seasons.

Based on the description the avatar items are sent as a code. Maybe some people actually use the xbox TV app and will buy it and sell the codes.

I'm surprised they haven't released more than season one on 4k. They released season one last year and that's it. Maybe they're just waiting until the whole series is out.
 
Thanks Bloomy! We appreciate you keeping those post going for years and giving us all discounts to look forward to!
 
I didn't realize Comic Jumper was a Twisted Pixel game, and it has great reviews on Metacritic. That's another GWG title I'd never look twice at in a sale, but will now check out because it's part of GWG. I know the EDF game is supposedly the worst one, but having not played the others, I'm hoping that with no basis of comparison it's fun on its own.

It was a good week to have that "ignore" refresher
Damn right.

Hello, fellow gamers. What are your opinions on abortion?
Just because EA doesn't really want to take care of its games doesn't mean they should never get a chance to be released :cool:

Research “guy who is about to be banned” and you’ll come across your profile.

Yeah I think Comic Jumper is pretty good, a couple of the levels are kind of a miss but has that Twisted Pixel humor. It does have "The Brad" song that will always be a video game highlight the first time I played it.

 
Screw the deals this week... I'm looking towards the Season Passes that are counting down. I'm hoping we get decent deals on AC Odyssey and Origins passes. Anything less than $30 I'll bite for Odyssey but would prefer $25 or $20 (a guy can dream). Origins would have to be 50% off to buy it for me.

EDF: IA is free with Gold already.
There's an irony in the fact that you accused me of being butthurt about black people not being enslaved and/or microtransactions (it's the latter, but it's telling that you asked the former first) and then went on to reply with a treatise over a post containing a few words.
I didn't accuse you of anything. I asked why "people" are wanting the game to sell poorly, and those are two of the reasons I have heard. There might be other reasons, I don't know which is why I asked.

Settle down, Francis. Not every reply to you that doesn't blow sunshine up your posterior is attacking you.

Wargroove is a highlight for me



edit: Usually shows the tweet, but Wolfenstien II, Wargroove, The Surge, Tacoma, Black Desert, Lego Batman 3, Surviving Mars, and a new one For The Kings are hitting Gamepass this month. Weird how they do these things sometimes with The Surge on sale this week.
Nice. Only have Wolfenstein 2 (which I haven’t played yet, lol) and The Surge so good month for me.

Haven’t read much about either but Wargroove and For the Kings seem like awfully similar games for the same month. But at least both are new to me.

D'oh. Wolfenstein II has been in the backlog since Black Friday when it got below $15. I loved New Order so much that I'm okay with buying/owning it, but still. Stoked to see Bethesda supporting Game Pass so much.

 
I see what you guys mean about purchasing a game, only to watch it pop up as a Games with Gold freebie. Except I bought the Playstation 3 version of Insect Armageddon. I didn't know that kind of frustration was cross-platform...

I don't often pass on a Games with Gold freebie, but there's a very strong chance I'll skip Comic Jumper. I played it when it was on Game Pass and I've rarely had that much visceral hatred for a video game. Hated the weird, repetitive gameplay, hated the tacky, forced humor, hated the characters. I could tolerate Ms. Splosion Man's excesses, but this was just a bridge too far.
