Hello! We don't have a survey available this month, but you can scroll through the MyMissions page to see all the latest ways to earn.
Click to expand...
Looks like they remodeled the XBLR page though. Also there's a MyChallenges now & they have MyVIP Gems to collect? One to complete three surveys in a row and then I get the above message lol. I hate when RPG quests aren't retroactive for things I've already done.

I'm torn on buying the Ultimate Edition now or down the line...if I get it now it's only 87 after tax (with GCU) and I get the preorder bonuses.  

However, I just bought an XB1 in April, got the FM6/FH2 digital bundle in May and I've hardly had time to play it.  Now FM7 is out and either it will sit for months without being touched or if I buy and play it now I will in effect, skip FM6.

I saw the redesign earlier, though it let me do a survey. The Forza page also has a check next to the pre-order option, but hasn't given me 10 keys or 5k credits for it. Wasn't sure if using a code would qualify, or if it switched to a check since the ultimate edition is available and can no longer be pre-ordered.

Still not a fan of it (or any site) that ignores control-clicks to open a link in a new tab and forces me to use the right-click menu.

 
Wow I just finished Gone Home in just over 1 hour and got 85% of the journal entrys.

People want to bash Brothers on here, but I am SHOCKED that Gone Home has a 86% aggregate score for a game that was $15 and last just merely around a hour. I found the story to be drab, and being a walking simulator just uninteresting. How this got GOTY nominations is beyond me.

Edith Finch on the other hand sounds like a masterpiece of it's genre despite only being 1 hour longer and $5 more.

Click to expand...
Any word if you get anything in game for playing BF2 beta?

 
Dragon's Dogma for me, partly as it was a great game on the x360 (that I never finished) and partly to support the game so we get more like it.  Really like the remaster pricing on this one too.

I guess I qualify for the Battlefront II beta too, but with so many new games about to launch, I'm afraid for my backlog and will likely spend time there instead.

Rayman 3 HD actually has a service alert status on the XBox page for not being free yet lol.

I think its because Microsoft forgot to clear the whole Games with Gold thing with Ubisoft first.

Microsoft: "Rayman 3 HD is free for Xbox Live Gold members from October 1st through October 15th!"

Ubisoft: "Wait, what..?!?!!???"

I'm torn on buying the Ultimate Edition now or down the line...if I get it now it's only 87 after tax (with GCU) and I get the preorder bonuses.

However, I just bought an XB1 in April, got the FM6/FH2 digital bundle in May and I've hardly had time to play it. Now FM7 is out and either it will sit for months without being touched or if I buy and play it now I will in effect, skip FM6.

I think considering your situation, just wait. FM6 & FH 2, esp if you grab Storm Island for FH2, will give you plenty to keep you occupied until FM7's inevitable price drop. Forza is a bonafide Microsoft product so expect it to be on sale multiple times starting in the holiday season.

Wow I just finished Gone Home in just over 1 hour and got 85% of the journal entrys.

People want to bash Brothers on here, but I am SHOCKED that Gone Home has a 86% aggregate score for a game that was $15 and last just merely around a hour. I found the story to be drab, and being a walking simulator just uninteresting. How this got GOTY nominations is beyond me.

Edith Finch on the other hand sounds like a masterpiece of it's genre despite only being 1 hour longer and $5 more.

Yeah I remember the critics were saying it was a refreshing change in pace to the fast paced brown and grey shooters on the market. I'm all for variety but that seems to be a bit much.

 
Sounds like Gone Home is the product of an artsy, indie game being made for PC because someone had a story they wanted to tell, and Steam is the perfect place for that kinda thing. It got popular, ported, and slapped with a console tax. I still want to play it but I think the biggest issue is what a lot of console players expect out of a game.

 
Do games releasing this close to the holiday typically see Black Friday discounts? Would it be crazy to think Dragons Dogma would be $15-20 in less than 2 months?
 
Retailers must have realized that a $400 Minecraft bundle wouldn't fly off the shelves just because of a fancy paint job. Other 1TB consoles are definitely going to be $300 during the holidays.

Pretty packed week for non-$60 games, I still think Hat in Time should have tried to avoid Mario.

 
I want that Dragon's Dogma update so freaking bad. I loved the first one. I just can't while I try to continue to finish Ruiner and Cuphead while playing Destiny 2 before South Park comes out..... This year is gonna burn my wallet empty... South Park. Wolfenstein, Evil Within 2, Cod WW2, Star Wars Battlefront 2. I better get ready to start shaking it on the street if I want to afford the special editions....

 
The controls and the graphics are my only pros- The tier system forces you to buy cars you will never want to drive- Most of the tiles on the main menu say "coming soon" - Loot box system is lazy and not well thought out - Most cases tuning and upgrading your car is restricted- Driving with zero assists doesn't earn extra credits. I could really go on

Don't get me wrong, I loved Dirt 4, but I have no issues with Forza so far. Is it just the integration of the loot boxes and all that stuff you don't like? The actual racing is as good as ever IMO.

Yeah Dragon's Dogma is one of my favorite games ever (mostly for the Dark Arisen content but the base game is still incredible), put hundreds of hours into it even after getting all the trophies. Going to buy it as a show of support/desperation more than anything, I want a sequel sooooooo bad, more than any other sequel to any game.

Please Capcom, please.

 
Dragon Age: Inquisition GOTY is counting down to date night.  Riptide: GP Renegade has a discount ($6.99 from $9.99) that is counting down to midnight Eastern tonight.

it's an interesting story and among the best walking simulators, especially if you had no idea what it was before you played it

it gets a lot of flack because of game of the year nominations that weren't deserved

 
Oh fuck it, all the people talking about Dragon’s Dogma got me hyped. So I cancelled Battle Chasers and switched it to DD. I played a bit of the original non-Dark Arisen version on my 360 but never gave it the time I should have.

Hopefully pick up Battle Chasers on the cheap somewhere down the line.
 
I'll admit, Dragon's Dogma remastered I'm tempted to get mostly so I can relive that Monster Factory with the McElroy's where they just spent majority of the game tossing people off cliffs.

I saw on the Featured half of the Games with Gold section on the dashboard they started promoting Xbox Quests. Completing 3 challenges gets you a sweepstakes entry but it also lists you get a free mystery prize (ARV $10). The challenges are misleading on the screen compared to the fine print. The latter says if you are Gold and have Gamepass you need to login 15 different days, request to join 3 clubs, and earn an achievement in 4 different games. If you only have Gold, then it switches the achievement part to sign up for the Gamepass trial. US only.

Expecting something along the lines of the mixer giveaway from Gamescom.

msstore had final fantasy 15 for $35 on black friday laast year and it came out like the same week, so anything is possible.

 
If your stupid like me a deleted pinball fx2 when you go back and reinstall it you can't add Street fighter, plants vs zombies, or the walking dead table back.

So don't uninstall it unless you mean to never go back to those tables. ( On Xbox 1 anyways. 360 might still be fine)
 
Just finished Gone Home. That's the most depressing video game I ever played.

Not as depressing as Boys Don't Cry. And not as cathartic as Blue is the Warmest Color. But still.

Liked the rawness of the music. Game play was rediculously tedious for console though.

I will say as much as I gush over the game and consider it one of my favorites of all time I also don't think it's for everyone. If you don't get into the combat there isn't really much else in the game to keep you going, story is fairly forgettable (though the ending is awesome) and none of the quests are anything spectacular. But there is really no other game out there with combat comparable to Dragon's Dogma which is why I adore the game so much. I loved the monster climbing system and the focus on attacking individual body parts, I found it neat that character height/weight actually effects gameplay, and I really like all the abilities the classes get (in particular one thief ability that just lets you cancel out of nearly any animation in the game at will, incredibly satisfying to use.)

While I enjoyed the core game plenty the draw to me was absolutely the Dark Arisen content. It added a very large and intricately designed dungeon that was fun to explore with lots of hidden areas and shortcuts you can discover. It also added a random loot system to the game. It's not as robust as something like Diablo but I spent a lot of time just grinding out armor sets with the exact abilities I wanted on them. Also all the treasure chests and bosses will respawn after a few in-game days so it's meant to be repeatable. I spent something like 300 hours on the game and around 200 of those was solely in the Dark Arisen dungeon. I crafted an amazing armor set for every single class in the game.

 
I remember buying Dragon's Dogma for the 360. Played for a couple hours, just couldn't get into it, and got super bored with it. Deleted it off my HD. Definitely not for everyone.

I'll probably end up buying it again when it's like $10 because I'm stupid.

Just got done reading a 4chan thread about Cuphead, asking if anyone bought it instead of pirating it. Every response was pretty much fellating PS4 and Switch, and how it's just a Metal Slug clone and the devs were retards for selling their homes to make it and etc etc. fuck the internet.

Wouldn’t say 4chan is exactly the crop of the crowd. I avoid it for a reason.

That said, there’s plenty of haters on less shadowy forums. fuck em.

Don't know what you expected. /v/ is 80% PC focused the console people have heavily favored Sony since last generation, so a lot of the discussion about Cuphead would be bitching about console exclusivity. Not to mention we here in the XBL thread are more biased in favor of Xbox in general that places that talk about all games overall. The general attitude toward Microsoft is pretty negative with the many canceled games, and now people are upset about Forza 7's nonsense. There's a lot of shit to push through on /v/, often too much to be worthwhile, but there is sometimes a grain of truth to the discussion.

I think comparisons to Metal Slug are fair, and knowing anything about the indie scene could tell you an unknown studio putting out it's first game like two years after the initially announced release date isn't necessarily a recipe for success.

Newegg had the preorder for $30, it was insane. I played the fuck out of it and sold it for $25 in late December after an end-of-semester gaming bender. Unless there's a big online component and you want to get in on the action with everyone else, wait til November.

Dragon's Dogma is a $30 MSRP, it'll easily hit $20 in November, even if it's just for ~48 hours.

Depressing, you say? Sounds like I'm going to enjoy it.

Are you suggesting that no one has finished or even opened all the games they bought last year because they enjoy buying things at a heavy discount more than they enjoy actually playing them?

"So where did you hear about that shooting in Las Vegas first?"

"Um, on an XBox Deals thread on a site looking for cheap games when I woke up..."

 
Hey now, let's wait until we get all the facts, I bet there are very fine people on both sides, it's just so tragic we can't prevent these things in the only country where this happens regularly, but here's lots of prayers that won't change anything.
