Timespinner was awesome but really easy and short. 5 hours to get to final boss and only died on the final boss. There are alternate choices and endings as well as doing the usual 100% everything that will prolly take u 13+ hours.
Sounds like the perfect game pass game.

I already have GPU out to 6/2022, but I'm thinking I should buy one of those $15 3-month GPU codes from Best Buy and then save it until September to redeem. They don't expire do they?
This is exactly what I did, mine expires on 6/19/22, but I already picked up the $15 3-month code. I asked in that thread if you could apply it and get time beyond the 3 year limit but no one responded. I'm not going to risk applying it, but the code shouldn't expire, at least not before you can apply it in September.

If you are too close to the 36-month limit to redeem a code, you should get a message saying so and the code wouldn't be redeemed.

 
You....you don't have a backlog? Who did you sacrifice and to what God?!
A lamb on the full moon, to the old gods and the new. I thought everyone knew this??!?!

(Yeah, I only buy something if I know I have time to play it. Otherwise it's always cheaper in the future.)

 
If you want 4K on that Furious 7, you should redeem it in iTunes and it will port out 4K the other services as well.

This is a long shot, but the game has been out for over two years so worth asking...has anybody played Embers of Mirrim?  If so, what were your thoughts? It's a $20 game but on sale for $5.99 so I'm tempted.

 
Anyone else having achievements not popping on console?  I played the new Borderlands 2 DLC this morning.  Got all the achievements but one.  None popped though.  Got to work this morning opened up the app on my phone and they popped.  Got the last achievement just a bit ago and again didn't pop.  Opened the app and clicked around a bit and then it popped both on my phone and on the console.  

 
Anyone who hasn't updated to the current Windows 10 version (I have the link I'm just lazy and busy) for PC Game Pass beta to work, many of the games on the PC pass are visible in the Windows Store app and come with an install button. A handful of them require the update and the Install button is greyed out, but I was able to install Timespinner this way.

I've had this new bug, I went into the system settings and changed the length they show and made sure they showed up and now I believe they're working. I think it's a bug from the recent system update.

 
Wow, I'm surprised at all the people who don't like the autoplaying of the trailers/videos. Didn't think it was a universally hated feature. I thought it was pretty cool when I first saw it.
I actually love it. It's one of our favorite things to do, for me and the kid, to go into upcoming games and watch the videos wherever we can. It's like watching trailers for movies...
It would've been a nice feature... if the audio wasn't so goshdarn loud.
I actually like it on the Xbox store because it's easy to cycle away from the trailers and stay on the page for whatever game you're looking at. Usually with Netflix, I'm trying to read the description and it starts auto-playing a loud 15 second loop of content.
If it didn't cause my XB1X to load store pages as if I was running a 2002 Acer laptop on dialup then I would like it a lot more.
The trailers are a bit too loud on Xbox. I prefer the way they play on PS4. They auto play with no sound in the background, then if you hit up they fill the screen and sound turns on.

I had a sneaking suspicion this was coming to Xbox, but I didn't dare to think it would be part of Game Pass...
inXile entertainment is a Xbox Game Studio and all Xbox Game Studio games are coming to Game Pass on launch.

I'm looking forward to playing this and the Outer Worlds when they release on game pass.
I wouldn't mind a port of the older Bard's Tale games next!
Oh man, I wasn't paying attention that inXile became a Xbox Game Studio. I just bought The Bard's Tale Remastered on PS4 last night. Thankfully it was only $1.01 in the Humble Indie Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-playstation-rebundle-2019?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_2_layout_index_2_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1_c_psnindie2019_rebundle

It's a little weird, but last month I listed the games I would buy on PS4 with backwards compatibility ending for Xbox One, and every single one of those games is on sale for PS4 this week. (Bard's Tale, GTA III/Vice, Max Payne, Indigo Prophecy)

I know this game is an easy platinum on the PS4. If you're interested in cheevos, might be worth picking up.

 
Ultra OT: I'm giving away a ticket for tomorrow night's AEW show in Jacksonville, Fight For the Fallen. $40 face value, middle of venue. There was miscommunication and I've got a spare seat a few sections over from my wife and me. Trying to unload elsewhere, but free to a CAG that'll go. Main event of Young Bucks vs Cody and Dustin Rhodes(Goldust).
 
Can’t believe I haven’t gotten the 1000 apex coins...I want the battle pass and I enjoy playing the game. They slacking big time
 
Oh man, I wasn't paying attention that inXile became a Xbox Game Studio. I just bought The Bard's Tale Remastered on PS4 last night. Thankfully it was only $1.01 in the Humble Indie Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-playstation-rebundle-2019?hmb_source=humble_home&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=mosaic_section_2_layout_index_2_layout_type_twos_tile_index_1_c_psnindie2019_rebundle

That is still a different Bard's Tale than the one that was announced (Bard's Tale IV Remastered), so you're in the clear.
 
Earn a new Gears 4 skin that transfers to Gears 5 as well. It's kind of ugly but at least it's unique. I think I'm finally going to redownload Gears 4 to try and earn some of this stuff, I didn't realize they announced more beyond RAAM.

Wait are all the skins transferable between the two games? If so I'll start paying attention when bloomy posts they are giving them away again. Collected for awhile then stopped.
 
I actually missed one of the achievements in the new Borderlands 2 DLC.  Did a hard reset of my Xbox One X and also tweaked some settings and turned off and on achievement alerts along with changing something from default to 15 seconds.  

Got the achievement and still had to go into the app on my phone to get it to pop.  Strange but for now I am not going to worry about it.  Maybe it will start working right in the next update or maybe related to the DLC itself?   

 
50 Achievements for Gilded Marcus? That's a lot.
It’s not as bad as it seems. You can clear 20-25 from story related achievements easy playing the campaign solo. A few more of you coop the story. You can probably pick up another 10 during the story with optional tasks. Another 5-10 by playing one match of coop versus online against bots on insane. You can pick up the rest with a little bit of work.

Only the Road to Gears 5 skins are available to both games. The other skins that have been available through streams will not be. This eSports Kait skin is the first Gears 5 skin with a stream related component. Of the challenges that haven't started yet, the Golden Weapon one is the only one that isn't available in the game's achievement list. The other 4 list in-game requirements, 2 should be retroactive, 2 not (playing X matches).

 
So Timespinner was only supposed to be on PC game pass but ended up being on Xbox also.  However, it doesn't show under available game pass games and has to be searched in the store.  Is anyone aware of any other hidden game pass games like this, or is this the first time it's happened?

Only reason it is on Xbox is because it is Play Anywhere — not because it’s on the console GamePass, which is why it isn’t listed. Not sure if there are any others that fit this situation.

Are we sure it was added to console Game Pass? Or do we have access to it through Game Pass PC + Play Anywhere?

To be more specific, it’s only available on XB1 if you have Game Pass for PC or GPU. If you just have regular Game Pass for XB1, you can’t play it as part of your subscription. The reason is this game is a Play Anywhere title on PC, so if you have it for PC (such with PC GP or GPU), then you can play it on XB1 as well if it’s available.

Hope that clears things up for you.

BTW, situations like this are going to get confusing in the future. If it’s a Play Anywhere title, they should just make it available for all GP subscribers.
 
Seems like they didn’t expect so many people to watch. Keeps timing out for me or I can’t log in.
Pretty much every time I've tried to watch these for an actually decent reward their site is shitting itself. I wish they'd just integrate Twitch Drops or a Mixpot instead. I don't really see much benefit from using their own portal other than having a Twitter feed option and maybe the Brackets, but you can set that up on Twitch too.

 
Would’ve loved to be in on that meeting:

“Hey boss, we’ve got exclusive rewards to hype the next game in this week’s stream. Should we add more internets?”

“Nah, no one cares about this crap anyway.”
What's even better is that these events absolutely ruin the chat for those that are actually interested in the esports. 90% of the chat is "0/60" and "Fix quest!"

As for the game, it really doesn't seem that different so far, more like things that could be done in longterm games with patches. Most of the maps they're playing are from Gears 4, I really hope they don't have a majority of recycled maps again. I've never liked Escalation as a mode, it's hard to follow when watched and has a lot of weird additional rules.

 
I thought this stream was playing Gears 4?

But yeah, all the “0/60” comments are ridiculous right now. Which is why I just leave up the quest tab, which says I’m 0/60 after 20 minutes 😂
 
Can anyone name some Xbox One games with easy achievements that I can play in order to get the 100 Bing Points and complete this week's Rewards quest?  I've already used Monopoly before, and I found Refunct to be too damned tedious.

 
Nah, this is an invitational event to show off the competitive stuff in the 5. They've been talking about changes to the Escalation mode and some UI stuff. I haven't been watching that closely but I don't think there are any new weapons in the rotation and the first few matches are on old maps. 

I think we're between seasons or something, during this stream they announced the next season is the first in Gears 5 starting in September.

 
If you have a Family Video nearby, they are having a Gamer Appreciation Day tomorrow with a free 5-day game rental then 1/2 price rentals for two weeks.

What do you mean by "old maps"? If you mean maps we've seen before in Gears 5 footage, then, yes, they're old. But the 2 maps in the first match are both new to Gears 5 (Training Grounds, District), which have been the only new Vs maps revealed so far. The map selection for the first match had some Gears 4 maps, but the first 2 were blocked (one was Foundation, don't recall the other) and the 5th map (Forge Redux / Blitz) wasn't needed. Some aspects of the new maps have similar looks to parts of maps in 4. The map selection for the second match had Dam and Forge Redux blocked, Training Grounds, Foundation and District to be played.

Have you gotten all the sample ones in Rare Replay?

Do you have gamepass? I go for all the bonus points.

Resident Evil Revelations Apex Predator in Raid Mode was pretty easy. Got it on my first game. Unlocks at the end if you get the bonus. Took 10 minutes.

Also counts for the horror bonus punch.

State Of Decay 2 - Heartland FREE DLC - The City Raised Farmer - took 10 minutes just recruit and switch to the first character you meet, can't miss.

Also counts for the horror bonus punch.

Dead By Daylight - The Grand Sacrifice - took about a half hour.

Void Bastards - Specially Selected - 10 minutes

Lego Batman 2 - Theatrical Pursuits - 15 minutes

Lego Batman 3 - Pursuers In The Sewers - 15 minutes

Monster Hunter World - 30 minutes or so for these 3

Honestly I thought what I saw them on were Gears 4 maps, I guess the visual design is just too close. 2 out of 5 new maps is a start, but I'm worried by just how few new maps Gears 4 ended up getting as DLC, not to mention the stuff they pushed as "new" like the maps with added weather.

 
Gears timer is finally working for me. Their twitter says they’ll credit people for time watched that didn’t increase the tracker too.
 
I wish there was a way to know we hit this requirement still. Logins kept being funky for me.
