Just to be clear, I am not joking or playing a character. I legitimately think a forum thread going off topic is exactly the same as a soccer game being interrupted for a picnic.
That sounds like an improvement to me.

I do agree and if I wanted to talk about WWE or Nintendo Switch I would go into those forums. The main four or five people in here just use this thread as a hangout for their group of friends though. At this point it is no use to complain because it has been going on for years and doesnt look like it will end.

 
Just to be clear, I am not joking or playing a character. I legitimately think a forum thread going off topic is exactly the same as a soccer game being interrupted for a picnic. I constantly see posts from people asking about a game on sale get drowned out by a bunch of "regulars" that want to argue about WWE or some random AV question. That's cool that you want to talk to your little internet buddies and no one else really cares, but I feel bad for the guy trying to decide what the best bang is for his $5 that's being ignored. Like, can you imagine asking for fitness advice on a fitness forum and even there no one wants to listen to you or help you out?
As for R6S, my bro unlocked different characters than I did with renown so those don't share. We both got the R6 credits from the season passes, but I'm fairly sure just R6 credits wouldn't share. Actually, those r6 credits might be because I changed up how I game share and had to buy the season passes again on my bro's account. Some of it might have even come from The Division or uplay or something. Usually monopoly money doesn't share, like ESO and GTA have both screwed me with that in the past.

Dude.


Give it a rest. Part of the reason why the thread is so active is because the regulars enjoy talking with each other. We have built a good community here. You know if you don't like it YOU could always turn notifications off and just check the thread on Mondays. Or YOU could move to another site that fits your strict needs better.

Unless it's truly offensive or people just being asshats we don't need thread Nazis.
 
I use mobile 99% of the time so maybe it's different on tapatalk/PC but 4 of the 5 previous pages have taken over 48 hours to hit the 100 post limit. I admit it is a decent amount of off topic but feel like that's still a slow post/day count. I don't think anyone's post is getting drowned unless other platforms the pages go by faster. There are other threads with less off topic where people's questions go unanswered as well, so I don't think that is solely due to off topic.

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to brannigan's cause if I haven't seen him discuss PS4 exclusives and switch bundles in this thread. Granted they were somewhat connected to xbox but if brannigan is going to quote the title of thread at people, neither of the conversations had to do with xbox live deals.

YOOOO DUDES SORRY I HAVENT BEEN AROUND IN A WHILE AND MISSED THE LAST GIVEAWAY!

So lets do 2 this week!

LIKE THIS POST FOR A CHANCE TO WIN

A WALK IN THE DARK

OR

AMAZING PRINCESS SARAH!

SORRY NOT SORRY FOR ALL THE CAPS, BUT I'VE BEEN PLAYING A LOT OF BORDERLANDS AND TORQUE CRACKS ME UP

 
When I see posts talking about shit I don’t care about I just scroll by which I’ve done a lot lately with Bloodstained posts and some other shit I forgot about.

I’ve gotten too many deals from this thread over the years to be telling the regulars what to do and idgaf either way anyway, if someone don’t like it they can always go make their own thread.

Also my son got the season 1 pass and he got the 600 rbcredits or whatever they’re called but when I bought him season 2 edition on disc he redeemed the season 2 code and we both got the 600 credits and no longer needed the disc.
 
Slow news day so here's a random PSA:

On the console store, if you go to any game page and press start you can go to the store settings and turn off auto playing videos for all store pages. My friend didn't know about that so maybe a few of you want it off as well.

I think you're are both absolutely right, and 100% wrong at the same time. If you really go into it and look at all the posts, they are probably about 90% about games. Sometimes the thread goes off topic and that's ok! Skim over them or block the people you don't care to listen too. (I've blocked 1 or 2 myself :p) But trying to completely get rid of the banter would be taking the community away from this thread. It's a lil slice of comfortableness in the vast wasteland of the internet. Not for nothing but when you make points about games and not argue with others I personally find your insight very helpful. So let's stamp out the bitterness (not only you but everyone) and go back to the fun lovin thread this is!

TLDR : :grouphug:

On the console store, if you go to any game page and press start you can go to the store settings and turn off auto playing videos for all store pages. My friend didn't know about that so maybe a few of you want it off as well.
I Turned it off, but it came back on after the last update. It legit is the worst and I don't know why they have to make the videos SO MUCH MORE INCREDIBLY LOUD THAN NECESSARY.

Also I kinda feel with Game Pass I finally hit the point of "I Have too many games to play", but then again doing a tally of all the games bought this year I've gotten 73 so far. I'll play them, you'll see!

This just changed my life. Now if you could tell me how to do the same thing with Netflix auto play you would be the champion of the month for sure.

game changer....good find

 
I have an Xbox One in my bedroom that I play Apex on late into the evening. Sometimes when I’m done I’ll jump into the Rewards App and click those quests. The videos on the featured game would sometimes come on so loud it would wake up my sleeping wife, which was not good. So when I say it’s life changing, I really mean it, happy wife, happy life.
 
Not knowing how much you've actually played and which achievement you've unlocked:

- Spin your first Super Wheelspin
- Buy your first car from the Autoshow
- Arrive at the Horizon Festival
- Arrive at the Lego Horizon Festival
I have the achievement - Arrive at the Horizon festival.
I stopped playing after getting that.
Thought I would do the spin but could not find it in the menu.
Do I have to do a few more races first?

They're the worst. Half of them have generic music playing to create a shitty montage that usually doesn't fit the show, and then the generic music gets reused on lots of the auto-plays.

Speaking of spoilers in previews, Target is running a huge ad for Endgame in the electronics section that shows the most important scene of the final battle on repeat. WTF.

I'm assuming from your response that you just have the base game which would eliminate the Wheelspin and the Lego Festival as quick achievements which would leave purchasing your first car as the only thing I can think of.

To earn a wheelspin:

1. Initial reward for being a VIP

2. Reward for reaching various Tier levels in Horizon Life

3. As a reward for purchasing the Croftdale Farm Player House

4. Can also be purchased in the #Forzathon Ship for 150FP

Yeah, just the base game from gamepass.
Might just play for a while since it is 500 points.

Are the stories Isha's Taxis, British Racing Green or Skill Streak available for you yet? They're the yellow icons on the map. Each one has an achievement for completing the first chapter. Since those stories were added in updates, I'm not sure if they're unlocked by progressing in the game. There's also A Race in the Crowd for doing 3 races blueprinted by other players. Drag strips should be the fastest.

Wow, I'm surprised at all the people who don't like the autoplaying of the trailers/videos. Didn't think it was a universally hated feature. I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it.

I actually love it. It's one of our favorite things to do, for me and the kid, to go into upcoming games and watch the videos wherever we can. It's like watching trailers for movies...

It would've been a nice feature... if the audio wasn't so goshdarn loud.

I actually like it on the Xbox store because it's easy to cycle away from the trailers and stay on the page for whatever game you're looking at. Usually with Netflix, I'm trying to read the description and it starts auto-playing a loud 15 second loop of content.

I had a sneaking suspicion this was coming to Xbox, but I didn't dare to think it would be part of Game Pass...

Not exactly sure what that's for, but thought they already announced Reward point price increases a bit back. the % on Hot Deals for gift cards last time was in line with what it's been historically this time of year, they seem to have a bigger % off in the Fall/Holiday time. That said the last "Xbox labeled" Hot Deals were only $5 and $10 cards and $10 was gone after a few days and $5 was about a week. Hopefully they are not majorly cutting back the quantity available. Then again they also ran it the next Hot Deal right after they ran "MS labeled" gift cards, and I don't ever recall seeing that.

inXile entertainment is a Xbox Game Studio and all Xbox Game Studio games are coming to Game Pass on launch.

I'm looking forward to playing this and the Outer Worlds when they release on game pass.

 
Timespinner was awesome but really easy and short. 5 hours to get to final boss and only died on the final boss. There are alternate choices and endings as well as doing the usual 100% everything that will prolly take u 13+ hours.

Your next achievement will be Pride Before the Fall - Qualify for Horizon Autumn. Just do a few more races and fill your influence bar to whatever level it wants you to get to next. It can't be missed.

The only thing that might appear before that would be applying a car mastery point, but you'd probably get that afterwards.

Just based on this, I know I will die on the first screen and become a butt of joke for my kid for the rest of the evening.

I wouldn't mind a port of the older Bard's Tale games next!

 
I already have GPU out to 6/2022, but I'm thinking I should buy one of those $15 3-month GPU codes from Best Buy and then save it until September to redeem.  They don't expire do they?

If it didn't cause my XB1X to load store pages as if I was running a 2002 Acer laptop on dialup then I would like it a lot more.
 
I constantly see posts from people asking about a game on sale get drowned out by a bunch of "regulars" that want to argue about WWE or some random AV question.
This, and they've turned this thread into a festival of ignorance, greed and gluttony. If you come in here to brag about your backlog while the entire country suffers then I think you're mentally ill or just ignorant. (I mean that, I'm not trolling and I hope you get help)

And tribalism is ridiculous...lol....somehow your post count make you better than other CAGS -LURKERS- and they gang up on anybody who doesn't want to talk about stupid pop culture made for children.

I would like this thread to be about saving money and not throwing it down a hole, and about helping and welcoming EVERYBODY and not bragging about spending your money like a sociopath,it's disgusting and embarrasing.

I can't read this thread a "few regulars" have turned into something completely different. They're ignorant as much as they're smug.

Wanting to ban people cause they haven't seen a TV show while a guy promoting genocide of refugees get to hangs out..lol. Telling people how to use the word "blacks"...lol...I'm talking to you......

 
Just to be clear, I am not joking or playing a character. I legitimately think a forum thread going off topic is exactly the same as a soccer game being interrupted for a picnic. I constantly see posts from people asking about a game on sale get drowned out by a bunch of "regulars" that want to argue about WWE or some random AV question. That's cool that you want to talk to your little internet buddies and no one else really cares, but I feel bad for the guy trying to decide what the best bang is for his $5 that's being ignored. Like, can you imagine asking for fitness advice on a fitness forum and even there no one wants to listen to you or help you out?
A couple things here. I think it's safe to say that if someone comes to this thread and asks for recommendations, they're generally going to get more than enough. I think what you're getting at is that someone shouldn't necessarily have to ask to know what the best deals. When a new deal is up the discussion about it happens and it only really is light if the deals are really bad or things have been on sale many times in the past. On a forum like this, if someone doesn't see discussion about what they're interested in they can either scrub back through the thread or PARTICIPATE instead of lurking and then complaining when they feel like the thread isn't acting how they want it to with no input (this is not aimed at you but at some of the people supporting your complaints who never otherwise post). As we've said before, there are several other places that are explicitly designed to encourage current deal ONLY discussion. TrueAchievments, Reddit (/xboxone, /greatxboxdeals), SlickDeals. If someone doesn't like or care about the community here, there are other options.

Personally, I think you probably would have more of an impact on this thread if you didn't keep posting about reporting people and instead focused on keeping the thread on topic with deal/game specific posts.

Finally, I think your fitness forum reference hypothetical is a pretty obvious type of thing that exists in a LOT of forums that have built up communities over time, and that our XBL thread is generally not guilty of this. The only time I see genuine discussion posts be ignored is if something has already been asked/discussed a lot recently, or if no on genuinely knows the answer or has an opinion.

One thought that I've had recently on this general topic is how CAG actually presents itself. Anyone that follows CAG's Twitter or Facebook is likely aware of the regular shitposts published about "deals" terrible PSN avatars or ironic gamer gear. I don't think this exactly promotes completely on topic discussion.

when someone mentions their backlog, their usually not bragging. It's a friendly and humorous way to admit they have a problem. i'm sorry that's been lost on you.

I hope not; and, MS has been pretty good about the expiration until now but with the way MS funny money (acquired from rewards) is set to expire within 90 days now, I'd want to make sure there is actual verbiage stating it does not expire before investing in this.

Having said that, MS currency cards (or even XBL codes) never had any expiration I think and you would think the GPU will follow the same model. *shrug*

It isnt a super helpful response, sorry.

I feel like those two statements are somewhat hypocritical. If it's about welcoming everybody, then why are you shaming people with backlogs? I don't have one and the concept fascinates me, but people should be allowed to spend their money how they like.

Guys...let me brag about my Games Pass backlog because I'm so rich and am drinking the tears of orphans.

And I love how off topic discussion complaints leads to more off topic talk than anything else.

Any code bought from a retail outlet should not have an expiration date, that would be bad. Only promotional codes (giveaways, MS rewards, and the like) typically have expiration dates.

For example, I bought one of the 3-month GPU codes from Best Buy and asked a friend to buy me a second. One redeemed fine (extending me to 10/20) and the other wouldn't redeem yet, so I'll happily hold on to it until it redeems (I guess a year out?).

I don't get on for a few days and Brannigan is at it again, making it OT himself.
In his defense, he has been spoilering that content inside relevant posts. All the other posts in reply on either side are what contribute to the OT-ness.

 
You would be safe until September for sure. I was able to use the Best Buy 3 month Game Pass Ultimate and I'm already a member, still see some confusion there over on sick deals.

You....you don't have a backlog? Who did you sacrifice and to what God?!
