Maybe I missed it in the discussion but emails went out for Bing members on Wednesday to get bonus points for referring a family or friend and have them complete 1 punchcard. The amounts varied, my newer one got 250 points but my main one got 50 points for the referral and 5000 points if they complete a punchcard! Up to 3 people, I have some imaginary friends I can count on to complete them and 15,000 would go a long way toward the next time the year of gold goes on sale or nearly $20 xbox credit when they do the $5 for 4000 points.

EDIT It's 5 referrals not 3, so as much as 25,000 points plus the 250. I have a few co-workers who will do it for me when I get back from vacation next week, it does run until the end of the month so I will legit try to get 5 people so I don't risk my account being banned.

It beats downloading a game on gamepass and spending hours sometimes for just a couple hundred points.
This is the best promo Microsoft Rewards has run in years, if ever. All I'm going to say is that there is a sweet loop if you have an account that gives you 5,000 points every time you refer someone.

 
I’m on chapter 2 of Gears of War (1)..... at what point do you just give up? The atmosphere and everything seems cool and all. The thing I struggle with is how clunky the movement feels. Titanfall, Titanfall 2 and even Apex Legends have spoiled me with fluid movement that feels quick. Even Halo and CoD feel like quick smooth movement.
Movement didn't really change much other than the introduction of omni-directional rolling later on, but if you're playing Gears 1 Ultimate it was added in the remaster. Gears Judgement added some one-off movement changes like the ability to drop down to a totally different floor, but the game is not well regarded overall so they dropped most of it's changes. Gears 4 added things like mantling and quick ledge hopping, and those are being refined in 5.

Overall Gears has a slower pace than most of the competition, other than when you get decent at the multiplayer and are in frequent Gnasher/wallbounce fights. It's kind of in the middle of Resident Evil 4's slow stop and shoot speed and the more straight forward shooter games.

Personally I don't think Halo felt all that much faster until Reach added more movement options, and then the Sprint-fests that Halo 4 and 5 were. The big difference that might have made it seem faster is probably the vehicle usage, but having been playing both Gears and the older Halo's late. Call of Duty and the Titanfall family of games are about as fast paced as console shooters get so they're obviously going to feel faster.

Gears does make minor refinements, and I'd say if you aren't digging the first one maybe skip forward to 2 and see if it feels better to you. Otherwise Gears 4 is a soft-reboot that takes place 20 years after the first three games, so you wouldn't be too lost jumping the the most recent iteration that's going to feel the best. Gears 4 also was the first one to run at 60 FPS in multiplayer, and the Campaign and Horde also run at 60 on an X, so that alone might do something for you.

 
Borderlands 3 is the first game in a long time I’m paying full retail for though it’s with a Best Buy gift card I got from work. Can’t wait, love borderlands. Was going to play the DLC that bridges 2 and 3 but started playing the torgue expansion instead.

I’m surprised by the lack of love for Gears by my fellow Xbox CAGs. I enjoy the slower cover based game play but I guess that’s not for everyone.
 
Did I miss a Best Buy $10 freebie email announcement? Yes, I know what thread I'm in. Checked my email, had one that said "Surprise, your bonus $10 reward is waiting" Usual email with scannable barcode, terms, etc. Haven't shopped in months there.
 
I won’t even bother with the referrals cause I got the 250 point one for up to 1250, I wish the tile would disappear off my ms rewards dash cause it just pisses me off knowing other got 5000 per.

Is there a way to stream Windows 10/non Steam games? I know Xbox games can play on PC, Steam works with Steam Link from PC to TV, but can I play Battle Chef Brigade in the living room?
 
What’s everyone playing this weekend?

Sometimes I feel like I’m no longer a gamer because everything I boot up quickly becomes blah. I don’t feel any stupid strong interest to play a specific game. Maybe I have too many and am lost in what to start. If you start backlog do you force yourself to stick with that one game till finish?

I feel the same way. Boot up. Bland. Go to Netflix. Lol
 
Ah, the course of the backlog. I feel that way sometimes, or just overwhelmed by the sheer amount. I usually go with 1 or 2 at a time and try to finish them before moving on. Maybe you just need a break from gaming.

Great game, I played it to 100% on the 360. So of course I got the definitive/X1 edition and haven't played it, because I already played the 360 version.

The supermarket shriek game has some easy fun achievements, but I had to mute the volume.

I've just been playing whatever is required for gamepass quests and then I end up getting hooked on the game and keep playing for a while. lol

When I saw hitman leaving gamepass last month, I thought I'd give it a try (first time playing) and I'm hooked. Now I miss it. Waiting on a really good sale for Hitman 2 or 1.
 
What’s everyone playing this weekend?

Sometimes I feel like I’m no longer a gamer because everything I boot up quickly becomes blah. I don’t feel any stupid strong interest to play a specific game. Maybe I have too many and am lost in what to start. If you start backlog do you force yourself to stick with that one game till finish?
My Time at Portia. Put in over 10 hours yesterday and will probably be glued to it today. Also the Walking Dead Final Season to get it out of my backlog.

I’m playing Updates the game.
 
lol... I've had 4 system updates the last 4 days and about 50 for games.
I turned off updates because of the Bloodstained issues and it got up to 144 games that needed updates! Updating them now to get it over with. Nothing worse than actually picking out a game you feel like playing and it says it needs 30 GB update. :)

I think probably at least 100 of those were BC games that they must have released mass updated for.

Ive been playing Hitman 1 the last couple weeks. I had tried it before after downloading the Paris episode and couldn’t get into but I bought the entire first game when it was on sale most recently, skipped Paris and have been loving it ever since.

I won’t even bother with the referrals cause I got the 250 point one for up to 1250, I wish the tile would disappear off my ms rewards dash cause it just pisses me off knowing other got 5000 per.
Yeah that's definitely targeted, didn't get anything close to what the OP was offered. Could get the 250 each up to 1250.

44 apps? thats a crazy amount

 
I'm playing Far Cry 2. I appreciate how gritty it is but I can see how all the driving might get old. It'll probably be the kind of game I put a couple hours into every week until I'm done with it.
 
I always manually update. My rural Kansas internet can't handle things updating all willy-nilly. My whole network just grinds to a halt.
I manually update as well. My internet speed is fine, but I wanted more control due to my wonderful Comcast data cap. I keep my main games updated and now I don't waste cap space on games I've rented and just left on the drive till I buy it etc.

 
Lot of dash board updates and tons of 360 BC updates this last couple weeks, consoles on different rings. Weird with the 360 emulator getting adjusted again since they came out with the "yeah forget about all that" at E3. Like I said smart move if so to make the next console just play everything native code wise and don't have to even worry about making adjustments to get it running. If you're going to put out an Xcloud and tell people look you have a "Steam Library" already, would turn some heads. 

 
Is there a way to stream Windows 10/non Steam games? I know Xbox games can play on PC, Steam works with Steam Link from PC to TV, but can I play Battle Chef Brigade in the living room?
Chance with miracast, no luck for me, but I think Win 10 and the Xbox console companion are supposed to do it, and there are some programs out there that would unhook UWP games into the "add to the steam library". It could be worth looking into, Depending on your TV, my Samsung App on the 3 year old KS8000 works better than the hardwired steam link little plastic dongle also hardwired.

 
I need to still play Gears 3...
I think that's the good one, then again I ran through the whole campaign in "drop in" on Insane just to try to get through a round of UHH on Trueachievements. Not sure what that Brazilian dude said all day but we rolled all the way to the boss at the end of the game on the greenhouse thing, sadly communication breakdown was too much to overcome that. I liked that campaign though.

 
that's a great song, I mostly prefer the live version on live on two legs. that whole concert album is excellent.

On a related note, I've been hearing early Pearl Jam on classic rock stations lately and I'm confused every time.
I hope in a good way, I may have to report you if you have anything bad to say about Pearl Jam.
 
My mother is visiting from out of town so no games this weekend for me. When does the weekly quest set end? I still need to get my 3 achievements to keep my streak going.

It is a bit jarring to hear music you listened to in high school in the rotation on classic rock stations. At first, it's just later material from acts that have been around for a long time. But then acts that broke through during that time get played.

Not too dissimilar from seeing rookies younger than you in pro sports. But then they start retiring after a full career ...

 
Meh, don’t need classic rock stations making me feel old with bands I grew up on like Pearl Jam and Nirvana. Only new alt rock stations for me. Geezer gamer gotta feel young.
 
Pearl Jam played on classic rock isn't surprising. It's been 28 years since their debut. They played 20 year old Van Halen tunes on the classic rock station when I was in high school.
