Anyone who preordered Ace Combat 7 from Best Buy get their bonus code for AC6? Nothing here yet.

AC7 is really good though. Happy to finally have a decent flight combat game on my X1X!
 
So Life is Strange Season 2 has a 4GB update, I wonder if gamepass users are getting the next episode when it releases.
Probably, I don't think any other games have had just a single episode permanently on there. I think the only other ongoing game on GamePass at the moment is Thief of Thieves, which was confirmed to be adding episodes as they come out. Most of the other episodic games on the service were already fully released before they were added.

I was debating on the One X version or getting the PS4 for the VR thing. Read they really stripped the VR thing down to like 3 missions, which is funny because I originally heard the game was going to be a PSVR exclusive. Didn't hurt that I noticed you get Ace Combat 6 for the 360 for free on the Xbox and looked at my gamertag and noticed that was a gamefly game where I unlocked 2 achievements before it had to go back. It's odd though, I don't think 6 was ever available on the 360 digital store although I could of sworn I've seen it. Store Parser has nothing for it. If that's correct cool and weird precedent to have a new 360 digital game release for something like this, so it can be done.

edit Can't speak for Best Buy, but the Xbox One digital Store said you get the code in a xbox live message 7-10 days after this offer expires, says the offer expires on the digital deluxe on 2/18/19

Yo, we talkin bout Ace Combat 7?? Finally, I can throw this in there just because.

https://twitter.com/watchsymphogear/status/1086169100273897472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

 
Yup, this is the consensus.

And as someone that bought the Far Cry 5 Gold Edition day one - and regretted it - this game is basically the reason to not trust companies on DLC, no matter their recent track records. Far Cry 5's DLC is essentially the opposite of Assassin's Creed Origins & Odyssey's offerings - which have been well-regarded (though recently controversial for narrative reasons, spoilers).
Yeah, but the Gold Edition comes with Far Cry 3 Classic Edition, which even with the sale price right now is $20 by itself. So that kind of makes up for it no?

Yeah, Best Buy didn’t put a date range for theirs but typically they come right after you pick up the game or when it is shipped. But no sign of it yet.

Apparently Ace Combat 6 will only be available with the Ace Combat 7 bundle until February, and won't be sold separately afterwards (licensing issues or something).  Same goes for Ace Combat 5 on PS4.

 
Fired up FM7 and got my gifts from the Rivals challenge. Got about $500,000 and 6 cars - got 2 Escalades which I already had, 3 others which I already had, and the TVR which I was missing. Still missing about 5 cars which I hope they give out through Forzathon soon.

 
Didn’t even realize Onimusha Warlords was ported to X1 and PS4. Never got to play it on PS2. I’ll probably pick it up when it hits $10.
 
I did it. I finally fucking did it - got my first achievement in Cuphead. It was so fulfilling and so amazing that I promptly stopped playing.

I suddenly feel invincible.
 
Yeah, but the Gold Edition comes with Far Cry 3 Classic Edition, which even with the sale price right now is $20 by itself. So that kind of makes up for it no?
Honestly, FC3 classic is what sold me on the season pass enough to pre-order the gold version of FC5. The 3 add on packs - as good as they sounded in theory - was not enough. I did the same thing for Odyssey to get ACIII remastered in march

did you ever get your code?

I got the email for Ace Combat 5 around 1am Friday

 
Congrats. I love the game's art style and the music, but I gave up when I stopped making any significant progress. Shame.
This game is great. You will definitely progress but it will take you some time. I spent almost an hour or two on certain levels but the feeling you get when you complete those levels are awesome.

 
My Australian Open contest for the $10 Xbox Gift Card + 1 Month Game Pass code has finished as only one player made the 4th round.  Results below:

 
 
WINNER
Frances Tiafoe - Khalid
 
 
HONORABLE MENTION
Billie Jean King - dennisb407

Thanks again, really appreciated, I also think I was the last person to click on that like button :). Also a fun way to do a giveaway!

did you ever get your code?
I got the email for Ace Combat 5 around 1am Friday
Update:

While I got the Xbox One version, they just sent me a code for AC5 on PS4! I have a PS4 so going to use it. Think I liked AC5 more anyway. I did send them a message about the issue so maybe I’ll luck out and get AC6 as well. 🙂

As I'm so happy I moved out of Daytona, I may contribute as well. Actually scratch that, next Sunday: ROYAL RUMBLE. 30 entrants
 
Didn’t even realize Onimusha Warlords was ported to X1 and PS4. Never got to play it on PS2. I’ll probably pick it up when it hits $10.
same thing im waiting for heard the game was only 3 to 4 hours i dont wanna spend $20 on a game that short hopefully a discount comes soon

 
I'm completely intrigued by Ace Combat 7 and the limited launch edition with BC Ace Combat 6 only available till 2/18.

The CAG in me is screaming to wait for the game to go on sale but the backlog loving digital collector part of me really wants AC6 digital. Hoping for a hot deal on MS money after this stupid Skype deal ends.

What's the odds of a sale on this game before the launch version goes off? I'm guessing not very good
 
A "bit" is a compliment. But considering he was quadraplegic for a while (he can now walk and drive), he could be and look worse.
The fact that he's a former pro wrestler and over 40 is a miracle all itself. Let alone be 60.

I've been wanting the game for a little while and almost bought it yesterday. I ended up getting a little caught up thinking about which version I was going to buy because I don't know if I want the dlc but also don't know if I actually care about what's included. For now I'm just going to wait a couple weeks and see if it ends up going on a deep discount like bf5 and a couple other recent games. I haven't played one since ace combat 4 on ps2 but this one looks outstanding enough I will maybe even buy a flight stick once I get it
 
How is the Overwatch community now? Each sale I get so tempted to buy it but usually something else hops the line, I’ve enjoyed the trial and free weekends. I’d like to get it next time it’s at a good price but only if the community is still doing well.

I’m having a blast with it so far. I had preordered long ago when I still had GCU and getting AC6 didn’t think it was too bad of a deal. Best Buy accidentally sent me an AC5 code that I used. And have contacted them about the AC6 code which I hopefully will get.

AC5, 6 and 7 will be a sweet deal!

I also love air combat and it’s been sorely missing from this gen.

I'll have to wait in a skirmish every once in a while and only get stuck waiting for more than a minute or two at like 3am eastern. I've never been so frustrated with waiting that I turn the game off. I do usually only play during events when the player base gets a bit of a bump, but at this point it's at most every other month I feel like.

Someone claimed it already but it got me to claim the codes I had in my camera roll for a month+. Thanks.

The game still has plenty of active players, so getting into the game shouldn’t be difficult. The “community” itself is still toxic AF, but if you avoid game chat for the most part and ignore any hate messages received, you can still have a good time. I’m lower level (low-mid Gold tier) so I don’t deal with a lot of the BS, but my fiancé is higher than me and had to turn off messaging from non-friends because of Overwatch. She plays a ton though and never has any issues getting games. From what I can tell, on the beginning levels it may take a while, but there’s so many smurf accounts on the Xbox that there’s bound to be some low level players looking for games until you get high enough for Competitive (if you want to go that route - wouldn’t blame you in the slightest if you didn’t haha).

Not sure but I'm still kicking myself for not picking it up when it was $20 some months ago.

Thanks for the insight.

I've heard it's pretty toxic but in all the hours I've played (it's been my top played game the last 2 years) the worst I've heard is people mildly swearing because the team doesn't work well together. The majority of console players seem to not use mics from my experience. They must be used more in higher tiers if she deals with it more because I am also usually gold. Maybe I've just been lucky.
 
Can anyone explain/point me somewhere that explains about TrueHD and the top tier sound formats and how they work? I know how sound and receivers used to work, the new age of soundbars has me confused. Between owning and acquiring 4k content, a lot of movies have the new lossless formats but I have no idea how to get them and my searching doesn't tell me anything. Does the console output the fancy formats or am I losing things connecting through HDMI? (I know optical doesn't work for them)

I know Atmos is barely used in games, but is also in many 4k movies. That I know requires new speakers due to the vertical component.

I'm not even sure what 'toxic' means at this point but when you are in a 'competitive' (and I use that word loosely with Overwatch) game with a large group of people driven by ego, your are going to hear alot of shit talk. And honestly, compared to something like playing Mortal Kombat II on Genesis online via Xband or Halo 2 back in the day on Xbox Live, it's pretty tame.

 
I think Overwatch only gets really toxic if you rank up in Competitive. I usually place Gold, with the occasional Platinum, and never really heard shit talking. I usually queue up with a couple guys. I have a friend that plays a lot still and generally solo queues that hears more of it, but he was more frustrated by the various bad metas than people being shithead.

Personally I've only seen people being toxic in Fortnite lately, and it's pretty rare. Most of the salty messages I get are in fighting games.
