Loving this double star day for Gears 5. I've gained 22 stars today and that's just from yesterday's reset.
Was just about to post about it, since I didn't think I'd seen it mentioned. I have 2 3 star tasks and a 2 star, plus the 0 iron reset. Going to spend some iron on it for new challenges as well.

Before anyone asks, unless they screw it up, it's only supposed to apply to the daily tasks, not medals. Running from 5am Eastern this morning until 1pm Eastern tomorrow. Covers 2 sets of daily tasks, the ones from last night and the ones that will reset later today.

What!? fuck! I just finished two x2 star challenges last night!

On that note, I wish you could gain 2 stars per level up. The supply drop contents suck. And blood sprays are pointless. I haven't noticed or stopped to look at them in game since day one.

Not seeing that deal in the Dollar General weekly ad, and when I went in there on Wednesday, it was a 10% off deal on Burger King, Taco Bell, and Wendy's cards. Does this start on Sunday?
I’m not really sure there was just a paper tag taped to the hook that said 15% off GameStop gift cards and then it rang up 21 bucks for a 25 dollar gift card

Just got out of Ad Astra IMAX and enjoyed the heck out of it. That movie felt more Blade Runner'ish than I imagined from the main character narrating to the harsh architecture and set coloring.

Also my OCD goes off every time I see the Gears 5 reward quest in the Rewards app where they mirror Kait's picture for no friggin reason on one of the tiles and it's made even worse that there's another quest with her face displayed correctly. Like somehow had no other pictures and had to do the extra work to make that thing.

 
I put in some time with the modern warfare beta and I must say, looks great on the X, cross console play is nice, and I’m having a lot of fun. Even the 32v32 brings more chaos and mayhem with vehicles that I always felt was lacking with battlefield. I think it has me hooked.

Only complaint I have is that it's fairly obvious as they're lumping in PC players with PS4 and XB1 users, that PC players are getting a bigger advantage with response time. I wouldn't mind it if they lumped just PS4 & Xbox users together, as both play with a controller. Also already spotted a few players glitching out the game by shooting through walls from across the map.

Also forgot how bad campers were in COD games.

I got my fortnite controller the other day. Was not expecting it to be that dark of a purple. I had low light in the room and thought it was black until I held it directly under the light.

They actually promised to match input types across platforms so controllers play controllers and mouse and keyboards play only mouse and keyboard. There’s also the ability to do mouse and keyboard on ps4 and Xbox.

I got the X1S bundle for another room, and at first glance I thought someone at the store swapped my controller with a black one. I was pissed for about 3 seconds before I realized it was actually purple.

Of course it’s obvious when they do, they literally show you how each person is playing before you start a match.

After buying the Gears 5 controller followed by the Purple Fortnite controller the gears controller is superior in every way. That purple is barely visible and it doesn’t have the hand or trigger grips.
 
I don't know about the others but the Gears 5 one has some kind of texturing on it. It feels fantastic.

Therefore you figure that every controller moving forward would have that. Nope not that Fortnite POS

Playing the Blair witch game and man that's a creepy game at the end. Way more scary then the movie.
Dark home with headphones in is the way to go.
I started playing this for the 10k/10 days MS Rewards event and I have to agree. Jump scares usually don't get me, but I've been falling for them everytime with the dark/headphones combo. Thankfully stopped for the night right before my one kid sleepwalked into the room or I would have had a heart attack and/or screamed and woke everyone in the house.
 
The stupid dog popping up randomly in woods got me a few time

The game gets really scary at the end. Walking through the dark and hearing the monster breathing behind you. Oui.

Great sound effects at the end. It's up there with hellblade for sound.
 
Last week's episode of What's Good Games has a pretty good in-depth discussion about Gears 5:

Makes me wish I could get the GF to play co-op on it but its too gory for her. I showed her the Lancer when she asked and she immediately nope'd out of the room.

I wrote about that about a week ago and it scared the shit out of me wandering around on the dark. I barely made it through to the end.

I’ve never tried it myself so I don’t know how much of a difference it makes, but would turning off the gore help? I know there’s an option for it but I’m not sure if it just changes the blood color or it makes it go away entirely. Or that style game just might not be for her, which is understandable.
 
Ok, a bit OT but I just experienced fantastic customer service at the MS Store. I’d been having the local save cache corrupted error for about a year. I’m way out of warranty on my X so I tried all possible options to resolve it myself, to no avail.
I finally made an appointment at the store, brought in my X, and they gave me a new one, no questions asked! So happy!

Awesome. Have had similar good experiences.
 
Playing Gears 5 horde as Jack is...strangely empowering?? Like I can wander anywhere and turn invisible and I am best at saving everyone's ass to the point where if I die, I know they're screwed. That and I am fully aware I am playing like an asshole when I grab all the weapons on the field to melt them down for points, but they just have to sit there and take it.

Ok I have to try this now :)
 
What's the active CAG crew for Gears Pop?  I see there's CAG XB and CAG XB2, which are both full, as well as CAG Gears and CAG Clan, which only have 5/50 members.

 
Has anyone just randomly had an external drive stop reading on their Xbox One X. Woke up this morning and my 10TB drive is not working.

I've done a huge amount of troubleshooting steps even including doing a soft reset on my full Xbox but it's still not reading.

Try unplugging the hard drive for a minute or two with Xbox turned off then plug it back in.

The only time my hard drive messed up was because the usb cable went bad. I had another external I was able to grab a cable from to confirm that was my issue.

 
I've already tried all the power cycling and switching of cables. It's driving me nuts.

I even wiped my Xbox and left the preview program just to be sure. Might have to contact Western Digital
 
Well, did my first 50 wave run through of Gears 5 with a bunch of random's and one CPU. Man, it makes a huge difference playing a game where the one building is an actual engineer and not some jackass constantly building normal barricades. That and I really wish Jack had some kinda execution, I mean it's still fun electrocuting people until they explode, but was really hoping he'd have a finisher where he angrily just sits on someone and they explode.Also curious, but is there no Brumak/Swarmak or evil helicopter in this one for boss fights in this one? Or at least unless we get some for the seasonal updates.

 
Playing the Blair witch game and man that's a creepy game at the end. Way more scary then the movie.
Dark home with headphones in is the way to go.
I started playing this for the 10k/10 days MS Rewards event and I have to agree. Jump scares usually don't get me, but I've been falling for them everytime with the dark/headphones combo. Thankfully stopped for the night right before my one kid sleepwalked into the room or I would have had a heart attack and/or screamed and woke everyone in the house.

It's one of the shorter games on the list as well, but the minimum is two playthroughs for all the achievements. About 5-7 hours for the first and if you got all the EASILY MISSABLE collectables in the first run, then about 2-3 hours for the second playthrough. I screwed up and used trueachievement's collectable guide. While it was thorough (there are some items in ridiculous hiding spots), the guide spoiled every single jump scare and plot point. It kind of ruined the immersion, but it's my own fault.

I noticed the opening screens of the game mention binaural audio. Usually this type of audio works best with in-ear headphones and gives an amazing 3D audio effect. For my second playthrough I am going to have to make sure to try it out. If you've never checked out binaural audio, put some in-ear headphones on and play the following video. It will be super pleasing to you ASMR freaks ;)

I've seen the Swarmak a few times as well as the choppers.

They really upped the gore in this one. I chuckled a few times when I first started playing campaign at the enemies exploding into bits.

Just started playing Escape today with randos. Seemed like a decent mode but not sure I can keep playing with randoms. That said, if anyone is looking to play some Horde/ Escape, hit me up! I don't really have anyone to play these modes with. :cry:

I haven’t gone online with it in over a week but I wasn’t able to figure out how to easily select an engineer character last time I played. That was my favorite class in gears 4 and I was really frustrated they got rid of the class system.

There are only two engineers and that's Del and the female Spartan from Halo Reach. You can press start or whatever the hell the button is called on the main screen and I believe can preselect there for the character in the customization option. If not just when you go to Horde and it takes you to the lobby, I believe just place the cursor over the character and press either the shoulder buttons or left or right on the d-pad to select your character. Unless both are taken in which case send them a passive aggressive message saying it's fine and you wanted to be playing as Marcus anyways.

 
PSA to those doing the 10K quest: For the first 500 points part, apparently anything over 500 will NOT count towards the remaining 9500. I had 490 (didn’t know it), got a 40 point achievement, and my first step says “530/500”. Checked off that and the points, got my 500 points, and now the third step still says “0/9500”. So I guess shoot for as close to 500 as you can to maximize your earnings if you’re going for it.

Seriously, that's who the engineers are? Then that one rando I played with was a complete asshat! Went 1-50 and the guy playing Del just kept run & gunning while collecting a bunch of energy and not using any of it, that I could tell. Ended up with about 90k just stockpiled.

I haven't played in about a week but I'm in the XB2 group. It seems like either people don't play much, all stopped playing, or just play at different times. I'd be lucky to find someone to do horde mode with whenever I played. I know I've said it multiple times but restricting horde mode to only being between group members is only hurting it.

After buying the Gears 5 controller followed by the Purple Fortnite controller the gears controller is superior in every way. That purple is barely visible and it doesn’t have the hand or trigger grips.
I'm a little bummed with the quality but I'm hoping the fortnite code will get me the majority of my money back. If it hadn't come with that I wouldn't have picked it up.

Spoilers for OT talk.

I got Mario Odyssey with it, since that game has been praised as one of the best Mario games ever made, and I know first party titles won't go down in price much (it was $50 at Target). I'm going to do my best not to go too crazy but I'm getting my girlfriend a Switch too so we'll share the games and that makes me more inclined to buy them and not mind if they cost a tad more. Mario will keep me busy for awhile. I also got the Mana collection because it was said it would be a limited physical release (joke is on me, it seems widely available).

I want Link's Awakening, but I have that game memorized front to back, and reviews suggest that the dungeons are all basically identical, it's more visuals and QOL. I'll get it eventually but the original is one of my most played games and I can wait for a sale.

I loved my Vita, but Sony never supported it adequately. PS+ definitely gave it a lot of value.
I've only done the first two dungeons but from what I remember they are the same. It was my second most played zelda game after ocarina but it's been years since I've played this one so it's a fresh reminder even though I remember a good portion of major details. I don't have any complaints so far other than there's an intentional blur on the border I'm not used to yet. The crane game was a pain in the ass. It took me 12 tries to get the item that starts the trading quest.
