Super salty about this MS Store sale on discs. Some super good prices.

For a company that is pushing digital and a streaming only Xbox, they should be giving us those prices digitally. I'd drop $50 right now if those prices were on Xbox Live.
Typically the store price for the digital version is the same as the physical version (if they sell it), so it might be worth checking. I'm all in for SP:TFBH (digitally) at that price.

 
A pretty damn great price for everything you get with Destiny 2 Forsaken!

Well this tweet just took ALL the mystery out of the mystery. :)
I hope it means Maya is playable again, I usually play a Siren in Borderlands. One thing I'm wanting is more than 4 characters at launch. Hoping to see some of the Tales from the Borderlands characters too.

 
A pretty damn great price for everything you get with Destiny 2 Forsaken!
True. I think I subconsciously skipped past that one because the cover reminded me of the cover for the first Destiny

Anyone down to team up in Division 2 tonight? GT is Biggquis78

edit: Wish I could use the same agent design I used for D1 by default

Also got an apex starter pack...didn’t play apex or watch any mixer yesterday

However I did stream my play through of crackdown 3 that’s all I can think of
 
If the gearbox tweets ends up being borderlands collection for switch I'm going to be disappointed. It likely will be a borderlands remaster, and not borderlands 3.
 
So... I love me some wacky assassin movies, ala Smoking Aces, Polar (new Netflix Movie), and plan on watching Bad Times at the El Royale a little later today. Any other suggestions?

I've played more games over the past two weeks while dealing with crazy panic attacks than I did all of last year. Feels good to be back
The Gray Fox beat me to suggesting John Wick and Leon the Professional.

Boondock Saints is always a go to, but I didn't car for the second movie

Wanted surprised me with it's over the top wacky fun and I enjoyed it

Equalizer 2 was good, but way more serious

For something a little different try The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2003)

 
Realistically that Castlevania collection will at best include some combination of the NES trilogy, Super Castlevania IV, Rondo of Blood, and Symphony of the Night. Personally I'd like to see some of the GBA and DS games, specifically Order of Ecclesia, but I doubt it because of the low res of the GBA and two screens of the DS.

I'm shocked at how much praise Harmony of Despair is getting here, it generally wasn't all that well liked as far as I was aware.
Although I have a couple of copies of Symphony of the Night, I’d buy it again if it was bundled with the DS games.

Yeah, I just don't see it happening since it would take actual work to convert those games. The Requiem thing on PS4 was pretty bare bones, basically modified PSP emulation.

 
Thinking of picking up Far Cry 3, Mass Effect 1+2, and Fable 2 from GS's 4 for $10 sale.

Is it okay if I start with Mass Effect 2? Or should I start with ME1?
I highly recommend starting with ME1 since the trilogy is essentially one giant storyline.

Any thoughts on the Vizio P55-F1 or Samsung NU800D? My nearly 8 year old Panasonic plasma finally died this morning.
The Vizio should be significantly better since it has FALD (full array local dimming) and a few other features. See rtings.

Wacky assassin movies: Try Grosse Pointe Blank and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Thanks, grabbed both GwG before my Gold expires tomorrow. Might renew next month. I don’t remember when’s the last time I didn’t have Gold and when’s the last time I bought it myself. Always received it as gifts or Expertzone. Maybe not having Gold May help me tackle the backlog, currently playing the hell outta Just Cause 3.
 
Can someone recommend a budget friendly 500gb ssd? I'm in the market for one to lower my black ops 4 loading and I game on an S if that matters.
For 500GB probably go with this @ Google Express: https://express.google.com/product/ADATA-Ultimate-512-GB-Internal-SSD-2-5-SU800-SATA-6Gb-s/937130995819603754_1808496413939746084_7517985

use code MARSAVE19 to knock it down to $50 and then grab one of these enclosures from amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/ORICO-USB3-0-External-Enclosure-Supported/dp/B01M08LCXW

https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Tool-free-Enclosure-Optimized-EC-UASP/dp/B00OJ3UJ2S/

 
It's been probably 5 years now but before I was living off free Expertzone Gold I kept getting offers for $2 for 2 months, about three or four times in a row. I play online so much it's hard to imagine letting it lapse, but back then I think I was was just burned out on the MP offerings at the time on top of having a pretty tight budget. 

I haven't been paying too much attention lately but it seems like the really cheap deals now are mostly on Game Pass.

I'd shoot for the $50-$60 range, seems to be the rate since Thanksgiving sales. This one seems pretty decent, but honestly there seems to be different 500gb ones every few days on sale this whole year.

Dead or Alive 6 is already free. It sure didn't sound like this was the plan, but I guess they probably wouldn't want to advertise it as such so more people buy the full game at launch. Numbers aren't out everywhere yet but it seemed like it flopped. It was way lower than 5 in Japan and I don't think it charted in the UK.

Edit with details: 

-Base game is 30 gigs

-I don't see purchase options for Hitomi, Kasumi, Bass, or newcomer Diego so I think they're the free characters. Still downloading.

Prices:

-Each character individually: $4

-Set of all base female characters: $40

-Set of all base male characters: $33

-Set of all base characters: $50

-Story mode: $20

-Base character packs don't include Nyotengu who was a pre-order bonus, or Phase-4 who is in the collector's edition DLC for now.

-Wedding costumes are available already, $2 a piece.

Final edit:

-The temporary "fix" to the apparently atrocious costume unlock period, 100 times the normal unlock rate, has been extended until the 28th, with some kind of change coming to the system at that point. This is also the day the lobbies are supposed to be added.

-The four free characters I guessed at is correct.

-Someone on another forum said you can try all characters in the Training Mode for free.

-When playing at Ready to Install almost everything is locked out, but I think you can play everything but Story.

I was actually looking at the cheapest version you could buy on the dashboard store a couple nights ago and I'm not sure it wasn't at least sorta planned, but yeah sneaky unadvertised. If you scrolled down and saw included contents one of them was an "full game unlock" key and the others were all some unlocked characters and then of course the base game.

Yeah, there was no way it wasn't planned for some point, but they were giving the impression it would be some amount of time. I was kind of expecting it to be with one of the upcoming updates that adds in what should be basic features.

I figured it would be maybe six months before they released a free version - not a few weeks, lol.

They did the same exact thing with Dead or Alive 5 on ps4/xbox/pc

They did it with the Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 on ps4.

You can get a free version and add in the fighters or story mode.

Once you buy the game/install for disc it downloads in 25 parts for the fighters,story mode,and costumes,

The Core Fighters was teased back in January.

If the gearbox tweets ends up being borderlands collection for switch I'm going to be disappointed. It likely will be a borderlands remaster, and not borderlands 3.
I think we're going to see both. The image from a few days ago has "Exit 3" in the corner of the road sign, and the newer one has a scene from 2... So my guess is "Handsome Collection for Switch" and "BL3 for Xbone/PS4/PC"... I'm just not sure if they'd also do 3 on Switch right away, or wait a while so they can sell the Switch version for full price while the other versions are half off.

Borderlands has always been a series that scales well on low-end hardware, like the differences between the PC and 360 versions of BL2. The Handsome Collection is basically the PC optimized versions of the games running on consoles.

There's also been a lot of rumors about Borderlands 1 getting an HD remaster/port with some QOL improvements (inventory, etc).

My guess is ports of at least the Handsome Collection for the Switch, and BL3 on all current platforms, with crossplay between Switch and Xbox, at least, if not all platforms. Although Apex Legends isn't crossplay because the XDK they started on didn't support it, and Respawn explained it would be a lot of work to integrate it after-the-fact - probably even more true for a game they aren't selling.

 
I'll probably do the same with DOA6 that I did with 5. Play the free version, maybe some free play days with other characters, until the (partially) full game goes on a significant sale from the $60 price. A few of my friends have the full game. Some interesting screenshots they are posting on their feeds.

edit: Just started the free version, played the first story battle and one quest. Unlocked quite a few achievements in just those two battles. Game looks good in 4K

Xbox newbie here...  Have a question - Is there a difference between 1) downloading a GWG X360 game from Xbox One webpage that says 'Play with Gold" and 2) 'buying' it for free in Xbox One console Store?  As far as I understand GWG X360 games are yours to keep even if your Gold expires, but now I wonder if the method 1 does not actually let you keep them.

My point was more that it was fast. DOA5 was out for quite a while before they went the F2P route.

Game looks good in 4K
The game actually defaults to 1080p on X to maintain 60 FPS. You have to go in to settings and change the Graphics option for 4k, but the framerate tanks and floats between 35-45 constantly with that setting.

Hmm, I didn't change any settings, I was looking at one of the characters in quest mode clearly in 4k. It must only drop to 1080 during fights.

edit: watched digital foundry results. Interesting choices. I guess it works well though, characters that appear in menus are in 4k, fights in favor of 60fps, story videos in 1080p is the only thing that doesn't make sense.

There was a Pizza Party REQ pack for me in Halo 5 today, had a few legendary XP boosts for warzone and arena as well as 3000 REQ points. Should be able to grab from here as well

Doesn't seem to be any codes for platinum packs for the HCS event, yet. Maybe on Sunday for the Grand Finals.

I’m fairly new to the game pass quests. Last night I finished the last available quest for the month but the one for completing all quests is not unlocking. Do I have to wait till March 31, the end of the period, before it registers? When I click on it, it just takes me to the game pass page
 
Random thought:

Wouldn’t it be awesome if they came up with a Movies Anywhere style system but for video games? Would only apply to digital purchases obviously.

MS has Play Anywhere but they have a vested interest in supporting PC gaming.

Thanks I redeemed it online. I got some pizza weapon camos and XP boosts.

That's how they pitched Xbox One originally and half the internet when into a temper tantrum.

I thought people were going into a tantrum about digital only since that would kill off used games. I can’t imagine anyone being opposed to making digital a single license that would grant you access to the game regardless of platform.

Only thing you’d have to do is make discs ineligible since it would require that system’s disc. It certainly would increase digital sales.

Sony would kill any hope for this idea anyway.
