Australias classification system is a joke. First we have Day Z get refused a physical release, then the digital gets pulled from the Australia store.
Now I read that We Happy Few and Kingdom Come Deliverance are getting pulled, even though they have been out ages lol.
I am guessing for We Happy Few it has to do with the DLC coming out, because having drugs to heal as an incentive is bad, Fallout 3 was changed because of this rule.
Here is a link if anyone wants a read:

Makes as much sense as the rules that are killing their dev industry.

Pretty easy week, I got to get that 1 point from gears just to even out my points numbers, tired of seeing it end in 4 and 9, not even sure how it got uneven in the first place.

I popped 3 more achievements in GoW Ultimate and it still hasn't given me the point. It's not really the point I'm after so much as entering the giveaway.

Btw, so I started to play GoW Ultimate and I'm on Chapter 2 and I'm not liking it. I'm playing it on easy and it doesn't seem easy at all. The movement of the character just throws me off since it doesn't seem as smooth as other games.

I recently started the gears series myself and, while I started off with GOW Ultimate and mostly enjoyed it, 2 has been an absolute slog to get through. I just finished chapter 2, and it felt like I've already played 10+ hours. Was hoping to finish the series before 5 comes out but I think I'm gonna have to put it down.
 
I'm having the exact same experience as you guys.  Like why is this series so successful to have spawned so many sequels and be a pilar of Microsoft exclusives?  

 
If I add the game pass code I got yesterday to my account which already contains Xbox Live, will it be automatically converted and the time reduced to Game Pass Ultimate?

It was a big deal when it came out, there wasn't anything else like it. Some of the things we take for granted now in terms of cinematic cameras, the shaky camera while your character is running, the slow pace of movement but the intensity of the firefights, along with what in 2007 were cutting-edge graphics, it had it all. Add to that the novelty of having a reliable online network for MP and how much better it is in co-op, the first 3 games were huge.

The market was also less saturated back then with shooters, although Xbox always had the monopoly on them.

In the last 12 months I played Gears 4 and Gears 2 for the first time, and I enjoyed Gears 4 more in terms of pacing and polish. The 360 games are still examples of the genre, but they are starting to show their age in terms of design. Gears 2 definitely felt about two hours too long, but if I'd been able to wrangle a friend for co-op I know I would have enjoyed it more.

If you have GPU and you try to redeem the code, you'll get an extra screen before confirming the redemption that gives you some details.

A gun with a chainsaw built-in gets a lot of mileage for some. Also, Halo is secretly not that great of a game which, in turn, makes Gears look better. Lastly, Gears has been relatively innovative in it's history with things like cover shooting and horde mode. I'm not saying it deserves complete credit for those things, but some...

 
I'm on a mission to beat skyforce reloaded and 1000gs it before they remove it from gamepass. It'll be tough but I'm sure I can do it.
I looked at those Cheevos, most of them have a small percentage of people who have them. This doesn't seem like a simple task; especially with a time limit hanging over your head. Good luck!

 
Wanted to keep my physical copy of A Way Out since in mostly physical but $10 digitally is way too good a deal to not go trade it in at gamestop for $18 right now.
The GF actually wants to play A Way Out, so $10 is the impulse buy price.
I was intrigued by its co-op only nature and played it through not too long ago with a friend. Unfortunately the game is mediocre - it's not terrible, but it lacks a lot of polish that could have made it better, and the gameplay mechanics are very basic. I didn't mind playing it through once but I could take it or leave it.

 
XBL product page, launches in 2 weeks:

Only $20, I was expecting it to be more. Will likely purchase at that price, at this rate all I will have done this year is replay FF games.
Awesome! I was afraid this would be overly expensive like FF12. Hoping it will be similarly priced on switch since I cant see myself completing 8 again on anything other than a hand held.

 
I popped 3 more achievements in GoW Ultimate and it still hasn't given me the point. It's not really the point I'm after so much as entering the giveaway.

Btw, so I started to play GoW Ultimate and I'm on Chapter 2 and I'm not liking it. I'm playing it on easy and it doesn't seem easy at all. The movement of the character just throws me off since it doesn't seem as smooth as other games.
Yeah Gears of War Ultimate doesn't count towards that.

Only Xbox 360 Gears 1-3 and Gears 4 counts.

I love Gears but the constant stopping to cover and shoot feels like grinding in an old JRPG

I try to base spending now on the price of a movie ticket. I spent $12 on Endgame for 3 hours of entertainment, is $10 for a game I'll enjoy with my partner worth it? The answer is usually yes for something where I won't be the only one playing it.

The remasters for X and XII were way more involved projects, but I do think the Xbox port should have had a lower price at launch. Most of he environments for the PS1 games are pre-rendered and will remain untouched, so most of the facelift is new character models and hopefully some higher resolution cutscenes like FF9 got. The quality-of-life changes like speedups will make drawing magic way more tolerable, too.

Now what I really want is a disc release of FF7-FF9 as a compilation.

 
It does. When you click the box of eligible games it's listed.
when you use the game pass app it doesn't list Judgement or Gears Ultimate.

I didn't get it after i popped an achievement in Gears Ultimate but the reward came right after the Gears 4 achievement popped a few hours later.

You might be right. I just popped an achievement in Gears 4 and it checked off. I didn't get the point added to my total, though. If it's not one thing, it's another.

I do the same pricing reasoning but based on how much it used to cost to rent a game one night from Blockbuster.
 
I would just do a charge back if you aren't planning on buying from them ever again, assuming they make it through the bankruptcy.
Tried that when they charged me the first time when I didn't want the sub, they lied to my CC company so they closed the dispute. I expect the same this time around, though I made it a fraud charge this time, hopefully this CC company will do better by me.

Playing on Easy and you're still having a hard time? Yikes. The enemies literally stand there waiting to die. Are you running into their faces firing a Lancer or something? Use cover, aim, shoot until dead. You can't play it like it's Doom or Halo. It's a bit more strategic and slower paced than those style shooters.

 
Yeah Gears of War Ultimate doesn't count towards that.

Only Xbox 360 Gears 1-3 and Gears 4 counts.
Anyone know if unlocking an achievement on the 360 will count for the quest?

This used to be my measuring stick as well until I got AMC A-list. Now I see 5-10 movies a month for $20, and the world doesn't make sense anymore. I'm out here scraping for Bing points, the wife's gone, my plants are dead, the dog ran off, the house burned down, the CEO spent my 401K and I can't decipher when a budget friendly game is worth it. And, I've only ever enjoyed Gears in co-op, but because I'm getting the ultra gold mega edition for free with GPU, I can't help but want it throwing my backlog into disarray. Send help; will trade for Bing points.

Unfortunately, yes. I'm so used to running and gunning it's difficult to change over. Also, the enemies seem to take a lot more damage than other shooters.

I'll throw in a third way for determining if a game is worth it. I compare the price purely against other games I've bought. Knowing that I paid $X for a game that I enjoyed, does this other game seem comparable in terms of content and/or enjoyment? Cheapest available price also factors into it. If a game is a port/remaster/etc. of a mobile game that can be bought for 99 cents or 1.99, and they trying to charge $10-20 on the Xbox store, then that's an automatic no, even though it's a different platform. Similarly, if I know a game has been on sale on Steam for $10, then I won't buy it on Xbox until it's $10 or less.

the 4000 pt $5 and 8000pt $10 Microsoft GC Bing rewards appeared briefly then went to no longer available.

I got 4 $10 orders placed but all 4 have already been cancelled and the points put back into my account.

Not sure WTF is going on....

Ya, the offers show they expire on 6/17 Must've just screwed something up when they attempted to go live with it. It'll probably be fixed soon.

Bummer about the Bing, I'm over here dangerously close to pulling the trigger on Remnant: From the Ashes. Could have pushed me over the edge.

I'm fine with how those ones are available now, what I would really like is FF1-FF6 on Xbox.

But if we're talking wish lists, please give me the original RE trilogy with A.I. enhanced background textures. At bare minimum, cleaned up like the FF games. I love the remakes, but I want the old ones too.

Shit, while we're at it, also do the Dino Crisis games, Extreme G Trilogy, a Breath of Fire Collection, a Fatal Frame Collection, Mortal Kombat....

 
Probably not, since the quests are only available on the X1.
Should be fine on the 360, it can't really track where you got the achievement just that you got one. Like how they had that get an achievement on Forza Horizon 4 for PC a month or so ago, you could just do it on the One.

 
I’m in panic mode, I have $6 in bing rewards credit expiring tonight... what do I get?!?!?

Honestly considering going digital on Burnout Paradise and losing the last $1

You're not thinking BIG enough. We need all the Dragon Warrior / Dragon Quest games on Xbox!

Yeah i don't understand why they don't. They have them all on android/iOS from 1 to 8.

I bought the PS4 port of Dragon Quest 1 and it looks exactly like the Mobile port as does 2 and 3.

I still want the sprite based FF4 and After Years that the psp got,

also, i used Google Translate aimed at my HDTV to see how well it would work. It's not perfect but it works.
