does anyone know if the halo 5 online community is still there? thinking about trying to clean up a few online achievements before i delete the game
I still play some different slayer fiesta matches each week and they seem to be fairly populated enough to get a match up without waiting too long. I believe most the multiplayer achievements are in the big P vs C mode (I forget the name)... haven't been in there for a while but I believe it's still populated too.

 
If you put in an Xbox redeem code and see what it’s for, it doesn’t burn the code until after you hit OK on the page that it says the title, right? I may have gotten a second code sent to me that I think a bunch of people here would be interested in and will have a contest to give it away if it is what I think it is. But want to verify before I go any further.

Warzone is still pretty populated, doesn't take long to find a match. I haven't got around to my placement matches for those other 5 mp achievements yet so no idea how those fair but I'd assume it is still pretty healthy.

eta: just a note on the warlord achievement, that is buggy as hell. Took me something like 3 wins+ on each original map to register. From reading over at TA there is some desync with the game stats at times somehow and hit or miss if that particular achievement tracks. There is a long convoluted workaround some used but I enjoy the mode and just kept playing and it eventually popped for me. ymmv.

Yes. I usually do this to verify a code before selling it. I use the Android version of the Xbox app, put in the code, hit next, check the content, then cancel.
 
Yeah that's what I'm talking about totally different format for me now
this could be due to the browser or device.

On Pc using Firefox it is the same it has always been for me.

On Firefox on the iPhone it is the same as always.

But when I use a Fire Tablet or some other kind of device it doesn’t work the same and some functionality is disabled
 
I really hope they don't intend to broadcast that on TV. The excitement would rival a bowling league or fishing show. How could the announcers even manufacture hype for that.

"Who's going to finish harvesting first? Oh my God I have no idea how Venom is keeping his tractor on the field. He's tilling that field in record time folks!"
This is legitmately already more interesting than most e-sports games.

 
Realm Royale is open beta now. I'm still a fan of the twist on "normal" genre mechanics. Thinking of buying the founders pack, but those usually go on sale.

There are 2 Warframe packs on discount. 300 Platinum and other stuff.
 
So the subsequent episodes of LiS Season 2 will not launch same day on GamePass, kind of a bummer but good for those that paid for the season pass I suppose.

eSports = Competitive Pretending

I'm always skeptical when i see videos of tournaments in arenas and it sounds like people are cheering really loud. they're just piping in noise to make it seem more exciting, right? how do people get that excited watching others play games?

 
Weird...I did it right before I posted my reply, too. Are you using Microsoft Edge or a different browser? I use ME for the Bing.com searches since it also gets my 20/20 ME points out of the way.
Yeah back to normal on Chrome, but stayed the new format on Edge, we shall see what happens

That's the way it's always worked for me when I want to check a code
 
Yeah, just like you, I've pre-purchased Resident Evil 2 and am incredibly excited to play it on launch weekend - and I, too, will wait for a big sale before even considering touching the dumpster fire that is my beloved Bioware's Anth....WAIT, WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!??!??!?

I kid, I kid. You do you, man.
You'll be happy to know I cancelled Anthem pre-order and moved it over to RE2.

After watching and reading reviews I feel I can safely assume it will get sales soon after release.

 
I 100%ed both LiS and BtS they are both better imho... I've started LiS2 but haven't finished the first episode...it just starts off with way too big of a gut wrenching beginning...gotta build up to that shit.
I loved the first one, and it definitely had a few crazy moments. Still working on BTS, so I haven’t started 2 yet, but now I’m worried haha. I even got a little sad playing BTS the other day...
When Chloe and Rachel were on the train, I was like, “These two are so cute, it’s such a fun scene, pretty scenery, etc.” Then I remembered the story all at once and I said to myself, “Aw, you both are gonna die.”

If 2 is that intense in the beginning I don’t know if I can handle it!
 
Does anyone know if Bestbuy is still giving away the Ace Combat 6 code with Ace Combat 7 orders? Or is it just Amazon?

Alien: Blackout will be out in the US around 11 EST. Even though it’s a mobile game, I’m looking forward to checking it out. Previews of the game have been pretty positive.

Does anyone know if Bestbuy is still giving away the Ace Combat 6 code with Ace Combat 7 orders? Or is it just Amazon?

Edit
Not sure if Best Buy is still giving them out. They did give them with preorders (though It was a huge ordeal to get them). But if you like my post from earlier, you could win a copy. 🙂

eSports = Competitive Pretending

I'm always skeptical when i see videos of tournaments in arenas and it sounds like people are cheering really loud. they're just piping in noise to make it seem more exciting, right? how do people get that excited watching others play games?
The same could be said for those who don't like sports, or Nascar, or horse racing, or whatever. Just because you aren't into it doesn't mean others aren't. Some genres of games can appear pretty impenetrable if you don't play them yourself, so I can see the barrier. But fans can see the skill of the players and that can easily lead to excitement when something insane happens. It's probably easiest to see with fighting games since they're easier to follow at their core with only two players and health bars telling you who has a lead at all times.

Just watch the classic EVO Moment 37 here. You'll get more out of it if you know the history of the players and the specific mechanics of the game that really tell you how difficult this would be to pull off, especially in a tournament in front of hundreds of people. But even without the knowledge it's easy to tell Daigo is doing something impressive as he's parrying Wong, and there is no way you can say people are faking it. Hell, this event was 15 years ago being held at a college and certainly wasn't broadcast back then. It took over a decade to build up to being held at an arena in Las Vegas now, and being broadcast outside of just justin.tv and Twitch.

As for Farming Simulator being broadcast on TV, it's pretty unlikely here in the US at least. Only the most popular games have managed to get on TV, and most times it feels pretty strange because it's being affected by TV channels that aren't part of the community or scene usually, I'm specifically referring to how Street Fighter has been handled, with costume censorship and an overwhelming focus on the definitely-not-going-to-win-but-only-American-in-top-8 Long Island Joe. In recent times, I recall Overwatch League and Street Fighter/EVO being broadcast on ESPN and I think Disney XD. I think Smash and Rocket League have had some kind of presence, and then we had special thinks like the Nintendo World Championship. My overall point there is Farming Simulator doesn't have that much traction in North America. I think it's more popular than you'd expect but the real numbers are in Europe.

A quick bit of Google brought me to some competition from last year, with older stuff also in the results. Events in Switzerland, Poland, and Germany. There is an offiical mod they use. There also was a convention for just Farming Simulator thrown by the devs it looks like, much like Warframe has Tennocon. It must be pretty big.

I loved the first one, and it definitely had a few crazy moments. Still working on BTS, so I haven’t started 2 yet, but now I’m worried haha. I even got a little sad playing BTS the other day...
When Chloe and Rachel were on the train, I was like, “These two are so cute, it’s such a fun scene, pretty scenery, etc.” Then I remembered the story all at once and I said to myself, “Aw, you both are gonna die.”

If 2 is that intense in the beginning I don’t know if I can handle it!
Yeah it definetly made me uncomfortably stressed pretty quickly... I'd think the story would decompress it as it keeps going but so early made me need to turn it off. I'll try again later...

 
Realm Royale is open beta now. I'm still a fan of the twist on "normal" genre mechanics. Thinking of buying the founders pack, but those usually go on sale.

There are 2 Warframe packs on discount. 300 Platinum and other stuff.
I'm kind of surprised they didn't cancel a console release. It's been pretty low on players on PC for a while now, averaging around 2000 players since two months after launch, though there are 4000 in game right now. Maybe Paladins is doing well on console?

 
I was just watching the ESL CS:GO tourney on my lunch break at work on Twitch. I used to play CS competitively with a team years ago so I enjoy watching the league play, I’m not sure what you mean by competitive pretending. It’s just like watching a chess match, watching the 5 players picking routes and strategies. If you understand the gun price economy in CS and the strategies then it’s just as enjoyable as when I watch the NFL or NHL.

I’m sure someone wants to watch competitive farming, otherwise it will go away if it has no audience. People are into different entertainment, I’m glad I have alternatives to watching what garbage is on regular tv like I didn’t when I was a kid.

Chloe doesn't HAAAAVE to die. :)
 
Just got my Xbox Live message for Ace Combat 6 for those considering the regular dashboard store. Bought it on Friday, disclaimer said 7-10 days. Do what you will with this information. 

 
Oddly enough the one who quoted my post was also drawn the winner! #21 drawn out of the 81 who liked it.

Congrats to chriscolbert! I’ll send you the Ace Combat 6 code via PM.
Woo-hoo thanks man! Again, thanks for being selfless and offering it up in here. I know others routinely do the same which is why this is the best thread on the board. Hopefully I'll have something to contribute and can pay it forward soon.
 
Command and Conquer 3 and C&C Red Alert 3 just dropped 50%  to $7.49. Both are 360 games, but are rarely on sale. On XB1, Dragonball Fighterz, Forza Horizon 3 Deluxe, and Sea of Thieves are on sale.

 
Has anyone been able to successfully redeem the Friend Passes for Anthem? I don’t even see the option on the EA site. The directions say to “Click the Get Friend Passes tab” after attempting to launch the demo...where’s the tab??

On PC or Xbox? So far I've downloaded the demo but it just says the demo isn't available yet.

Preordered the deluxe edition from xbox store but don't think I've received any emails or messages from XBL yet...

 
I have EA Access and correct me if I’m wrong but I think I’ll be able to play the demo this weekend. After watching some more videos about it I’m more interested than previously. I’m going to hold judgement until I can try it out.
I did read an article on Gamesrader that Bioware have been trying to make another KOTOR game under EA but haven’t been able to. There is no reason given why but I do agree with the article that it’s most likely due to EA’s focus on online based games.

Anyone been able to get that Amex/Amazon $30 off $60 deal to work? It looks like everything should be good when I add to the cart, even shows taking a point from Amex rewards...and nothing changes.
