Has anyone ever used a sick/vacay day to stay home from work just to play a game? If so what game was it?
I did that back in the day for one of the Halo games, might have been Halo 3.

“If one of the announced games isn't Borderlands 3 people are going to be pissed.”
Would *not* want to be in the room if there is no BL3...
Don't you guys have phones?

PSA for anyone that purchased the Gamestop 360 last fall and got the $70 Visa gift card:

Per the back of the card. The card incurs a $3 monthly fee which is waived for the first 6 months.

I had planned to hold on to it, but see now that would be a bad idea.
Yeah, holding onto those is a bad idea. I always instantly convert them into Amazon credit.

 
Received a message on the Xbox saying I earned Microsoft Rewards points via Xbox Game Pass quests. Select (launch app) to redeem your points and find this months quests.
I click through and I get no points, and there are no Game Pass quests listed. Anybody know what is going on?
Same here -no idea, trolling us maybe?

 
I took a day off to play both Battlefield Bad Company 2 and MLB The Show 10 - Both came out March 2, 2010 and it was glorious!

 
Any thoughts on the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Season Pass? I am more inclined to buy since I have the base game on Game Pass but $20 still seems steep. I am liking the main game though.

I got that same message and same that I didn’t get the points. I have no clue what that’s about.
 
Who else other then myself still have borderlands in the backlog?
I played the panther piss out of the :360: games (minus TPS) and I bought the Gentleman ClapTrap version for :xb1:. My remote control ClapTrap has an inner ear problem and that game is still sealed.

I got the same. I was also thinking this might be the 500 pts for completing all the GP Quests since it didn't credit me right away.

I got one but it was the tiered bonus points for making purchases promo they ran a week or so back. Oddly, clicking the box on the Xbox didn't seem to work last night but I believe I claimed them on the website a little bit ago.
 
Obviously Gearbox is only making you think they're revealing Borderlands 3 to throw you off the scent of the real news: Duke Nukem 5ever... or Battleborn 2... or Aliens: Colonial Marines 2? You know, all their other fan-favorites.

Disclaimer: I enjoyed Battleborn but releasing within a week of Overwatch was a major mistake and it never found a sustainable audience.

I have not seen anything on the site.
It is weird the message says game pass quests as I have not seen them on the app on Xbox for a few months.

I guess it's time to finally play the first game, I hear the story itself is top-tier even if the game is flawed. I would say I'd like a port of 1 to consoles but looking at the reviews it's heavily suggested to play with a fan made mod that fixes a lot of issues and adds cut content.

Honestly I would like to see a new Duke. They've owned the rights for 9 years now and all we've gotten since Forever is a port of Duke 3D with some new levels and a paid DLC to an extremely overpriced port of Bulletstorm. I don't know if Gearbox could still make a good straight-forward FPS, but it's not like it would have the extreme baggage that Forever brought with it from 3D Realms. It's insane to me that Shadow Warrior is two games deep in a successful reboot before anything substantial could be done with Duke. At least Ion Maiden looks good I guess.

 
Sekiro is pretty freaking cool and just as hard as a Souls game. Some nice mechanics and do like the faster paced combat, through it just means I die quicker, lol.
 
I just got a $10 code sent to me via Xbox Live for being a great Xbox fan!!

And in celebration of whatever sale they are running now.
I also got this $10 code said for "our first ever critically acclaimed sale" so I guess be on the look out? I never usually get the targeted stuff, never the $5 emails so who knows how they are figuring it. Oh yeah got the other message from MS Rewards about you earned points in the Game Pass Quests that goes nowhere also.

 
ESRB rating for Borderlands (1) GOTY edition for current-gen systems has been discovered. Looks like we are getting a remaster of the first game to compliment the Handsome Collection. Still holding out for a Borderlands 3 announcement soon.
 
Looks like we are all guilty of taking time off work to partake in one of our most expensive vices in life.Thinking on paying full price for Sekiro since it's getting high praise and last full price game I bought was ME Andromeda so that's saying alot.
 
People need to chill with this remaster nonsense. Bout to get a new line of consoles and we can’t keep pulling out the old favorites to rehash for cash. Need some new ideas and games to play on my phone.

The beauty with Microsoft's new console (and probably Sony's) is that games this generation of console can play can be played on the next generation.

 
ESRB rating for Borderlands (1) GOTY edition for current-gen systems has been discovered. Looks like we are getting a remaster of the first game to compliment the Handsome Collection. Still holding out for a Borderlands 3 announcement soon.
I'm totally fine with Borderlands 1 if it's a short term announcement and not a centerpiece. I loved Borderlands 1. I would love to see them do some back-end work to the structure of it, though. It was difficult to play with someone else unless you were the same level and same place in the story if I recall.

Find some discount credit in the trading forum or some place like GameFlip and then you won’t be paying full price at least.

And I think this is a wiser choice than ME Andromeda was. Just sayin.

Sekiro looks great and all, but it's just single player story game. From games don't have Ubisofts history of slashed prices, but I expect it will be 50% by summertime. The release is probably too close to expect it in the spring sale...

How long was it before GoW2018 hit 50% off...?

Nope. I have never taken off work for games.

I definitely thought about it though. I love the hobby but vaca/sick time is sacred for family time or healing.

Now, when I used to be an hourly worker or didnt have a regular M-F schedule, yeah I would finagle my schedule at times, but never used pto or sick time


As for Sekiro I am kind of pissed, people bought all of Bestbuy’s ‘physical’ code in a box PC versions. I was holding out on some reward certs so hopefully they get some in stock or we get a patch allowing for changing resolution on X1X to get better frame rates etc.

A bunch of friends and I did it for Halo 3. All night campaign play through. Fun stuff. Since then, though, not again. Server issues almost always plague launch days, and as you said, I now need those days in case of the kids being sick, etc.
 
I've toyed with the idea of taking off work for a game's launch before but I'm ultimately too cheap to do it. I'm a freelancer so my schedule is very flexible and I have more free time than basically all of my friends, but I don't get those paid days off.

Sekiro is pretty freaking cool and just as hard as a Souls game. Some nice mechanics and do like the faster paced combat, through it just means I die quicker, lol.
Did you see that a streamer completed all 4 Souls games and Bloodbourne back to back without taking a single hit? Craziness!

 
Any thoughts on the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Season Pass? I am more inclined to buy since I have the base game on Game Pass but $20 still seems steep. I am liking the main game though.
The latest release "Serpents Heart" has been the most enjoyable piece so far imo. That being said all of the dlc has been a tad forgettable. Some of the side content isn't accessible until later in the game. Similar to Rise's season pass it's price will drop like a rock once they have all been released.

On that note, does MS even have a naming department? They had to know this disc-less Xbox was going to be called the Xbox One SAD Edition by trolls. Of course they didn't know that stupid Xbone nickname was going to become a thing either. :razz:

It definitely needs more than a fresh coat of paint. Inventory management and sharing items was also really cumbersome. I'd prefer it be an add-on or title update to the Handsome Collection, but that is unlikely.

I'd be more into the idea if it was a preorder bonus for BL3.

THIS. Likely also the reason MS is putting so much time/energy into MCC, it'll be the standard experience for next gen, too.

 
Shang Tsung will be the first DLC character for MK11. I'm OK with him. Especially now that he's voiced by Cary Tagawa who played him in the original 1995 movie. He also lend his facial likeness.

I paid full price for the season pass I don't regret it per se but I also wish I would have waited for it to go cheaper. Basically all the season pass is, is 7 challenge tombs which each last probably about an hour give or take. If you really enjoy the challenge tombs I would recommend the pass at $20 if not I would maybe wait a bit longer for it to go cheaper. Of the five that are out already only two of them really stick out in my memory but none of them were bad by any means. Also if you're an achievements hunter they are a pretty easy 85 achievements points for completing them and for equipping the equipment you unlock from completing the tomb. Then the other two achievements are only 5 points each and are for completing the tombs on a speed run and a score attack run.

These are sky high hopes for the company that didn't include co-op or even DLC into BL2 VR. This is almost guaranteed to be an up-res job. Best I can see is a bump to 60 FPS and using high res textures if the original PC version was better off.

 
I took vacation the week NBA Live 10 came out. I was pretty hardcore into 09 (ranked 6 overall at one point) so I thought I would jump in and go for #1 overall online. Didn’t happen. Stupid step back glitch. At release, any step back 3 went in. Literally. Ended my rise to the top.
 
My wife unexpectedly called in sick today. Translation: no playing Sekiro at lunch and likely no playing tonight as she lays on the couch in front of the TV my X is on.

🤦‍♂️

Any????? Step back 3? So people didn’t even play real games? It was three pointer after 3 pointer, unless there was a steal
