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
If it’s expring today it’s probably gone already I’ve lost money a few times waiting til the last day and it expires early.
 
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.
They take a lot more damage BECAUSE you're intended to be firing from cover.
Aim for the head and use active reload.

Easy basically plays itself.
ok, took everyone's suggestion and slowed down. It's grown on me. Thanks.

 
I don’t think I saw this in the Gamescom discussion. I hope this is as fun as the original game. I’m hyped about this.

Got this message last night from Xbox:

Thank you for watching Inside Xbox on Mixer. You have received your Gamescom MixPot Gears POP! Pack! While in-game and signed in to your Xbox Profile, please navigate via the Social tab to your Inbox and select “Collect Packs” to redeem when Gears POP! Launches on 8/22 for iOS, Android, and Windows 10.
So... that's something I guess?

 
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.
Yeah that's totally reasonable. I paid $15 for A Way Out and I didn't regret it, I just wasn't very impressed. It's nice that the co-op player doesn't have to pay for the game though.

Reminder that A Way Out is also on EA Access for anyone that has it as well.

Edit: apparently just on PS4?

Read on CAG twitter they layed off a bunch of people from Game Informer magazine but sounds like they are going to keep it going with the lower staff numbers yet...pretty much the only reason I have a GameStop Powerup membership...I feel the end is nigh but maybe the company can hold out until next gen systems?

 
So what do we think the odds are Borderlands 3 will be discounted digitally during the Black Friday or winter sales? I want to wait since Gears comes out so close to it, and then The Outer Worlds like a month later. I'm sure it will be at least slightly discounted on disc but I want to gameshare it.

It sucks that these people are losing their jobs but I'd love to know what people like about the modern version of the magazine. I had it for a year from when I bought my Switch, and I felt like it had pretty low value. Literally all of the news bits, and most of the reviews, are weeks old at best. They tend to have IGN syndrome on their reviews where pretty much everything scores high. I feel like the previews they have, and an occasional interesting article, are about all that's worth bothering with.

The only thing I even bother with anymore is Game Infarcer because it's the only thing that's not a horrible ad masquerading as an article. Call of Duty in depth cover story? Seriously?

I'd say about 100%. Probably be somewhere around 10-20% off, but I don't see how it won't being as even things like Red Dead 2 so close to launch get discounts around that time and I think it came out a month prior to the Winter sales starting.

 
It's exclusive to playstation EA Access right now.
Oh crap, I apologize. Had seen it in an article and didn’t realize it was exclusive to PS4.

Guess they need something extra with all the BC games they aren’t getting over there.

I like the reader art section, good bad ugly section, and reading a little bit more on big games coming down the pike in a physical magazine while toileting lol
 
I'll miss Game Informer. I had a subscription for 15 years but let it run out last year. It was good to have something to read while using the toilet or if I had downtime at work. I remember when the quality of the paper used to be really smooth and glossy, and the pictures used to pop off the page. Then, one day, I got an issue and the paper was stiff and the pictures were smudgy as fuck. I knew at that point they were cutting corners and the writing was on the wall. Ah well. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times.
 
Arnold the Terminator coming to MK11.... this is slick.  Even better if they make him take damage and show the chrome skeleton underneath.  

 
Destiny 2 cross save is live, so I decided to try it out since I’ve been wanting to move over to Xbox with it but didn’t want to replay all the missions I already beat. Thankfully your progress carries over. Also, achievements unlock (whichever ones you already got on PS4) once you get to the character selection screen. That was the one thing I was worried about, since they hadn’t confirmed if you’d get them or not.
 
I'm surprised it went live today, I didn't think cross-save was coming until Shadowkeep.  Cool though.

I got excited but should've realized the free to play wouldn't be live yet. I have up through Forsaken on my PS4 so I don't see any reason to buy anything especially since I only do single player stuff.
 
I think I’m trashing my Xbox account for my psn and spreading it around. More history there yet I’m going months backwards.

Then it said I have silver and it made me pause.

Thanks for this. Forgot it was today. The process was smooth, albeit a little funny having to sign in to 4 different accounts just to make sure everything linked properly (Xbox, PSN, Steam, and Blizzard). Of course then I got the bright idea that I’d boot up the PS4 and try to play, since I have the free version of vanilla D2 that came from PS+ a few months back, and now I’m stuck at the “Transferring Game Content” screen for approximately 4 more hours.
 
Really trying to push through Gears 2. Does it eventually get better (meaning the games afterwards)? Awfully boring locations in this game and WAYYY too much vehicular combat. I thought I was playing a 3rd person cover shooter, not world of tanks.

3 is great fun, Judgement is decent enough, and 4 is extreme YMMV. I don't hate 4's gameplay as much as most, but so much of it feels like "change for the sake of change".
 
I need to spend more than 20 minutes with it, but so far Gears Pop seems to remind me of Plants Vs Zombies with a deck-building element.  Dunno if I'll stick with it to get 1000GS but it seems fun for now.  We'll see if that changes when I hit the inevitable paywall.

I think you're playing a product of it's time. I really don't remember vehicles in that game which is hilarious. I love all of them but can see how just now playing Gears 2 would probably be hard. Gears 3 is the definitely the best, so if you can't appreciate that, it's just not for you. Also, horde mode (in Gears 3) with a friend or friends is quite possibly the most fun in gaming i've ever had.

 
Do we think there will be a punchcard of some kind for Gears POP?

Boo! I finally got a MS ad email, no money I can see.

Got Gears Pop on iPhone and achievements gained after logging into Xbox live account immediately synced with Xbox account.

Loot boxes and paywalls like a mofo. I am surprised that any Gears product is rated 12+. The main screen has two characters fighting with chainsaws gun things. No I don’t know the terminology, I’m not a fan of the games.

It's fine... they're all toys, so when somebody's head falls off and goes rolling away the body can run around trying to find it.

Toy on Toy violence is Comic Mischief at best.

The paywall stuff is completely optional, although I'm sure it gets harder to proceed once you hit a certain threshold. For now I'm having fun with it. If I had paid money for it and it had all those microtransactions, I'd be annoyed, but for the low price of free I've had a lot of fun and have found the real $$ nonsense completely ignorable.

 
MS needs to update Halo Spartan Strike and Assault for modern devices. Those were actually decent twin stick shooters for on the go (later ported to 360). And premium. I generally can’t stand F2P mechanics so not sure if I will bother with Gears POP even if the IAPs aren’t completely necessary.
 
If you live in Chicago or Austin, check the Bing points homepage. I saw an invitation there for $150.
After answering a couple short pages of questions, it asked me if I owned and use an Xbox. I said no and it ended the survey. Wonder if that disqualified me from the focus group.

I was disappointed that they never ported Spartan Strike to console. Seemed like easy money, even if it didn't sell a lot or maybe it could have been a cheap GWG for them.

For whatever it's worth, answering you work in software/hardware development also ends the survey.
 
Having a blast with Gears Pop so far like others have been saying its a nice little mobile game. So far just rollng over everyone I've played haven't allowed a point against an oppnent yet though

edit: and jinxed myself just got rolled
