By the way, it seems the rumors of Ronda Rousey playing a younger version of Sonya Blade in MK11 might be true after all (she apparently did mokap, facial likeness and maybe even voice). She posted her invitation for tomorrow's reveal event on IG. We'll find out tomorrow I guess.
Bummer. I was hoping to see her make a return, but not as Ronda Rousey.

Well, I did some further "research" and it seems she will only voice her. Which to me is a bummer because Tricia Helfer did a great job in MKX. But with MK11 having time travel, then..... who knows what they're gonna go. Hell, it all might be hogwash and she was just invited to the event for being Ronda Rousey.

I love all the bandwagon haters. You all shit talking a game that we've barely seen. I'm not going to preorder it because I'm a CAG and paying full price is for chumps. That said, dragging a game before it's even out makes it that much harder for companies to even try pushing out new IPs. Instead we'll keep getting BLops29 and generic RPG 33.
The game is out in about 5 weeks, when should we expect better than "barely seen"? Personally I'm all for new IP and if EA thinks THAT is the issue if the game flops they are even dumber than we thought. There are a lot of factors that have turned people on Anthem. If the issues I'm seeing turn out to be false and the game is great than I'll give it a shot, but for now I'm basing my opinion on what we know about EA as a publisher and what Bioware has been able to well and poorly in their past games.

Even if your IP argument carries weight, EA treats their established IP like shit, and usually abandons it once they've managed to run its reputation into the ground. See Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, Medal of Honor for recent examples. I think Mass Effect can probably be put on this list now regardless of what Casey Hudson says, and even Star Wars seems to be on it's way there somehow.

 
My poor backlog...
My initial reaction - smiling and then raising my hand to rub my forehead. When the eff am I gonna have time to play all these games added to game pass??? Microsoft is really killing it when it comes to bringing varied & awesome titles to game pass.

Regarding the Mortal Kombat 11 Rousey thing - so long as she does a good job, I don't give AF honestly. Sign up Barack Obama to voice Jax Briggs for all I care. Long as its believable & draws me into the MK universe, I'm satisfied. Can't wait for the official Mortal Kombat 11 reveal tomorrow!!!!

Barack Obama as the voice of Jax..... interesting. But I'm afraid Jax's dead. He died in Jacqui's ending, in Sonya's ending and it is implied in Erron Black's ending. Yes, most of the arcade ladder endings are "What ifs" but some do end up leading to future plot points (like Scorpion's ending in Deadly Alliance being canon in Deception).

But I'm with you, all I want is an awesome game, regardless of who voices who.

I can connect to the rewards site, but not the forums. Some other MS sites are also having trouble. Gears forums, messages can't load on XBL profile page, either Major Nelson's site got a bit of a redesign or it's not able to retrieve some formatting info.
More cars and credits were in my gifts tab today, looks to be sorted.

400K in credits

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier in the thread, but I saw a (targeted?) offer/ad on the dashboard for Game Pass that just said "Play A Game", and apparently playing one Game Pass game will net you a $5 gift card. Nothing to opt into, no way to track it, should just recieve it in the messages in about 4 weeks.

I regularly watch tennis and don't know at least half of these players so I'm thinking this contest might be over by the 4th round haha. Good luck everyone!
I had a good run!
 
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Steamworld Dig 2, but also some vague ones about account privacy. Has anyone bought and played this game? Is there anything sinister about it? Or is it good enough to be worth the dice roll?

Nothing to opt into, no way to track it, should just recieve it in the messages in about 4 weeks.
That ad just brings me to the gold store page with the GWG, DWG and sub extension options.

Interesting. I clicked that tab yesterday, but didn't play a game. I wonder if turning on a game today will still trigger the reward.
 
Anthem didn't really feel like Destiny when I played the Alpha. But the one thing I couldn't shake was the feeling I was playing a SP MMO. I didn't do any matchmaking though, and that's probably the way it should be played. The world-building seemed good, story seemed like it had some decent elements there. I'm not preordering it (getting RE2), but am curious how it turns out. The ability to fly was pretty rad. 

TL;DR - Anthem is not Destiny.

A SP MMO? I’d be okay with that as long as the world and backstory was well flashed out. I spent most of my MMO years playing solo and preferred it that way. It didn’t work well in some of the older MMOs but It did in WoW. That being said, WoW is a high bar to measure up to. Maybe the way it has been presented hasn’t appealed to me and what I enjoy. Most of what I’ve read is about the game mechanics. They haven’t shown me a compelling story or reason to be invested in their world. Maybe after it comes out, I’ll finally learn more.
 
I can connect to the rewards site, but not the forums. Some other MS sites are also having trouble. Gears forums, messages can't load on XBL profile page, either Major Nelson's site got a bit of a redesign or it's not able to retrieve some formatting info.
Yeah, MS rewards was being a bastard for me this morning, seems like it's sorted out now? I do see that 12 months Xbox Live is down to 29,000 points. Doesn't have the "Hot Deals" labeling yet on the tile but I think that's the hot deals price. I'm already at 25k since the great pre Thanksgiving purge but of course my dog left me due to the constant clicking. Might have to get Resident Evil 2 to push me over the top for another year of Gold.

29k is the normal price. 24k is/was the Hot Deals price.

29k is the normal price for 1 year (level 2) after they slightly upped it last year. The next hot deal should go up tomorrow or the next day if the people on the rewards sub are correct.

Wow, what's with all the Celeste hate? Celeste was never marketed as an easy game. I for one found it to be magnificent and very well designed. Sure, it was very hard at times (mostly the strawberries and b-sides), but to write walls of text to prove that you have nothing to prove is just absurd.

This thread has pretty wide-spread taste since we're only really held together by Xbox. Plenty of us like Celeste as well.

 
I haven’t tried Celeste yet... I have been on Mario Party on Switch with the kids #WrongThread.

My 4tb external and 1tb internal are full and I don’t have a lot of games installed :( time to save up for an 8 or 10 tb I guess. Those COD games take all my space, luckily I skipped BO4 cuz I just play the campaigns mostly so I don’t need that one, but I just got Infinite Warfare + Modern Warfare remastered for $15, I haven’t installed it yet cuz I’ll have to delete something.
 
Yeah, people wrote walls of text on Celete's difficulty because that's genuinely how they feel about the game.

I mean Celetese is either a work of art and held to the same standards and criticisms or it's just a  shallow flavor of the month indie game that was pushed at the game awards for reasons and needs coddling.

I was hoping the season pass got discounted

 
Late to the preorders discussion, but I'll say my piece anyway. I've always been a cheapass long before I found this site, so needless to say I haven't preordered much. Since the 360's launch I've preordered less than a dozen games. The ones I'm VERY interested in get that honor. Until now. Let's just say all the BS from Bethesda regarding 76 has made me vow to never preorder a game again. Sure, I'll probably preorder Anthem and The Division 2 to get Beta access (or whatever Anthem is calling it) but I'll cancel them both before they release. I paid way to much to Beta test 76 for Bethesda, and no I'm not talking about the very short Beta period either. I'm still Beta testing their damn game. I think my eye twitched a little yesterday when I saw my first bug after yesterday's patch before I'd even loaded into the game. Remind me again what that extra 8 days was for again Bethesda? Testing? Ok, I believe you. Do you also have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell me?

I'm not bitter at all.

What’s more likely when Metro Exodus comes out:
Xbox One Metro games go GWG
360 Metro games go BC

Honestly, neither seem likely. Both are on game pass and they're using that to sell the service. Plus BC on remastered games already out are rare. I honestly can't think of one that went BC after it already had a remaster.

If you ever played the .hack games on PS2 (or the new remake of G.U. on PS4), they are pretty much single player MMOs. I mean, it's a single player RPG simulating an MMO, so close enough. They also had a pretty good story, especially the first series.

Borderlands 2, Saints Row 4, all 3 Bioshock games, Rayman Legends. Pretty sure I'm forgetting at least one more.

The only detail is that some of them weren't remasters, just ports. Still noteworthy though.

I’ll add Shadow Complex, Telltale Walking Dead, and Castle Crashers.

Did Borderlands go BC before or after the Handsome Collection?
 
Finally beat Deus Ex: HR after starting it back in 2014 lol

Whoever designed the boss fights can fuck right off though.
