Welp.....

You know what I have been on this board for years and I rarely comment on things that bother me. I have been gaming for many years and I am a huge fan of Xbox. Why else would I be on this board? When I complain about something you might want to think about why I am voicing my opinion. That's all I have to say about my "complaining".

 
I know everyone is talking about Gears, but this new Plants vs Zombies game is awesome
Love the great deal on the game for 26.99. PvE is great, cant wait for the zombie map. PvP is great but the plants need a nerf or the zombies buffed. The zombies are still weak compared to the acorn and ninja mushrooms lol fuck those little guys
 
Sorry if I am whining. I just am getting tired of the constant outages for a service we are all paying for. I would be fine with an occasional outage here and there that is resolved within minutes. We should never accept outages for several hours multiple times a year. That is totally unacceptable for a paid online service.
With all due respect though, prior to this week when did you experience an outage? I just feel that your use of the term "constant" is a bit egregious. Obviously none of us are on 24/7 but I have experienced just as much stability with XBL as I have with Amazon, Facebook, or whatever other mega online dependent entity you can think of.

It sucks for sure though. I have been enduring my 12 year old agonizing for the last hour and a half that it's the end of the world because he can't play Fortnite.

There have been multiple outages this year. At least 5 I can remember. This is certainly not an isolated incident. That is the reason I am voicing my opinion. If this was a one off I would be totally fine with it.

 
It must be pretty serious if you feel compelled to complain to strangers almost a dozen times.
I don't consider this board "Complete Strangers". I have played online with some members here and I follow this thread every day. A dozen times? Now who is exaggerating?

I should have bought that physical ;) How far are you? I'm not saying I'm great at games, I've beaten all the Dark Souls humblebrag, but man I was kind of surprised on the difficulty in some parts of this....
I’m not that far honestly. Think I’m towards the end of the Find Marshall / Old Boys Club mission. Have been a few tough battles but love the combat.

Some serious frame rate drops though even on the X during the more intense battles. Some of those things are like more of a war zone than a Battlefield game, lol.

Edit: just finished Old Boys Club.

You know what. I work all week. I rarely get to game during the week. Friday evening is one of my prime times to play on Xbox, Tonight I have not been able to login for the last hour or so. How is that acceptable for an online service? This is not the first time I have encountered such a problem this year. I am seriously doubting Microsoft's ability to deliver next gen at this point. I am sorry. Outages like this are just an indicator of Microsoft's inability to deliver reliable services in the future. I am done with gaming on the Xbox platform moving forward unless these serious issues are addressed soon.

I know most of you think I am whining, but I feel very strongly about the current lack of  reliability of Xbox live services.

 
Played Superhot on my One and achievements weren't popping so I started playing Superhot VR on my PSVR and got trophies. Problem solved'ish!

For some reason I don't have access to the Halo Reach characters in Gears. It says I own the ultimate edition.
The Ultimate Edition stuff in general is pretty borked right now. Just give it a few days since it seems like a pretty wide spread problem.

 
I started up the Gears 5 campaign. Got to the 3rd Chapter in Act I and it wouldn't let me progress. I'm guessing because of the Xboxlive wonkyness. I go and do a full reboot and now I can't even sign in. Not real motivated to play video games now.

 
I didn't even know NBA2K20 released today also, so yeah Gears 5 on gamepass, Madden 20 free to play and throw that game in the mix. Bad cocktail. 

 
I am cursed to never play gears
Im still in my feelings about being kicked from wave 32 horde lol. You cant teamkill, I wasnt stealing the gems or whatever the locust drop when from when teammates did the kill. I purchased fortifications when possible. IDK....Im going to drink some horchata and sleep on it lol

 
My shitty internet has been down all night so I didn't even miss Live. Lol

Played through Act 1 of Gears 5 tonight. Tethered to my cellphone and popped my achievements.
 
Love the great deal on the game for 26.99. PvE is great, cant wait for the zombie map. PvP is great but the plants need a nerf or the zombies buffed. The zombies are still weak compared to the acorn and ninja mushrooms lol fuck those little guys
Be careful what you wish for. Plants were completely broken at the launch of the last game. After a couple months or so of constant nerfs combined with zombie buffs it got pretty bad in the other direction and they never fixed it. Last time I played the game, conquest, zombies won 11 of 12 games (yes I counted) in a row and I gave up on it. The game shouldn't be that hard to balance relative to other games I'd say.

 
This happening on a Friday night is adding to the irritability I’m sure.

My kids are pissed cause it’s the first night they can stay up since school started and I wanted to watch the new Into the Dark on Hulu but too lazy to log in to my smart tv since I always use every app on my Xbox.

I almost never get logged out even when there’s problems cause I have my X1 on 24/7 but of course I’m affected this time.

Ooh boy Gears 5 campaign has been glitchy. Got stuck in a building and the prompt to shimmy past some rubble never appeared, so I reloaded the checkpoint only to spawn into a completely blank area and then die after five seconds prompting a reload into the same room with the same results. Had to close and relaunch the game and lose a little progress. Then later on I paused the game and it crashed to dashboard. Might be time to go back to Astral chain until they finish squashing bugs.

But I am looking forward to play horde with the CAG crew! GT Echogod
 
Ya know I don’t think it would be too crazy for MS to have sone kind of process or setting in the box that would allow you to play a downloaded game for x hours a month without being signed in or something like that to offset these types of things. I’m sure they could do it in a way that wouldn’t leave them open to being overly exploited.
 
It's all relative. As far as conversation subject matter in a video game thread on the internet is concerned, Xbox Live being down is pretty serious. Of course, no offense to anyone whose girlfriend is in a coma.
Just remembering some The Smiths lyrics

My Switch is working fine, my kids are playing Minecraft Super Mario Edition right now.
I just downloaded the SNES games app, this should be amusing for 30 minutes

If you are playing on your home console and the game isn't required to be online, you can take your console offline for at least the evening and play just fine.

Sadly, my home console is several states away and I would be playing Destiny 2. :)

Still can't login to Xbox Live on Xbox One. Totally unacceptable it is taking this long to resolve.

I guess I should game on Nintendo Switch from now on? At least that system is working tonight. Pretty sad Microsoft can't get their system working in a reasonable time.

They usually go up at midnight UTC Friday morning (8pm Eastern Thursday), but I saw they weren't up last night. They sometimes have trouble, and I thought maybe MS was diverting resources to try to get Gears 5 somewhat stable.

They appear to have pushed a patch that screwed with campaign collectibles.

I had checked a few times as the week went on and he still had last week's post up. As posted, he didn't include the 360 deals, though there's nothing there that hasn't been on sale before, and many at better prices.

Ahh thank you so much. I know it seems kind of silly to still look at 360 deals but it's all I have at the moment and I never really caught up with all the seventh gen games that came out.
 
I feel bad for all those not on GPU. All this early access to Gears 5 has really given me an edge: I can scroll through the menus and acknowledge constant errors so fast.

That's about it, though. Only played a couple matches all the way through; otherwise kicked a few minutes in or unable to matchmake.

I know they're scrambling to stabilize and fix things, but I'm sure the wide release on Tuesday is going to substantially delay a smooth experience. Really dropped the ball on this.

Just imagine if they didn't have the Tech Test a while back to stress test their systems.

 
I find it hard to get upset about day 1 issues related to server load. Most problems are fixed within the first day from people not all trying to be there. I would much rather it be up as it's silly not to be able to sign in and use video apps.

Imagine a big store on Black Friday. They have multiple registers and more workers than usual, yet there are still issues and waiting. You plan for big capacity but sometimes it's never enough and you can't have max throughout constantly.

And why do you come here and complain? You're a bit of a twat.

I just turned on my XBOX so I could join in the complaining, I guess it must be back up. So I'm off to play games instead.
Can't remember the last time service was down for 10 mins though.
 
I like when betas don't have restrictions for unlocking bonuses like the gears tech test did. I didn't have time to play so didn't get any of the gears special unlocks. It makes sense for gears since it was all multiplayer but if the ghost recon betas had requirements you have to meet it would be more frustrating because it would mean playing through the intro 3+ times before the game actual comes out if I want any of the special cosmetics.
 
Im still in my feelings about being kicked from wave 32 horde lol. You cant teamkill, I wasnt stealing the gems or whatever the locust drop when from when teammates did the kill. I purchased fortifications when possible. IDK....Im going to drink some horchata and sleep on it lol
Was playing with a team around wave 31 we all got kicked because of server issues.. it was 3 am already..was a bit gutted lol. But so far I'm really enjoying the game!

For the Rockstar cans, you need 5 can codes + a Walmart code (obtained on your receipt by buying any Rockstar can) + a Circle K code (promo not yet live). For the cookie, I think you need 4, but I haven't done that one.
Does anyone know if you have to do anything special for the Walmart code? I purchased a can through the self-scan lanes this morning, and nothing printed on the receipt.

However, it was a non-Gears discounted flavor (50 cents). I'm willing to accept that it changed category or something else when it got "rolled back", but maybe it has to be purchased via a human?

According to the website:

Purchase any Rockstar Energy Product at Walmart and get unique pack code printed on receipt. Every Rockstar purchase at Walmart also earns (1) bonus code per transaction through 11/30/19.

EDIT: Also, anyone with Publix in their area, Chips-Ahoy! are B1G1 this circular week.

Most times, XBL being down for a night isn't a total day-ruiner, but I'm super annoyed you can't use video apps without being signed in. There's no good reason we can't watch a movie on VUDU with an internet connection, XBL account or not. 

Also, last time I used "offline mode" while we were waiting for internet in our new place, I got a notification every time I was on the main screen that I was offline and some services required internet  :bomb:
