Finished Quantum Break last night. Definitely one of those games where the insane ramp up in difficulty of the final boss almost ruins the enjoyment you had with the rest of the game.
I actually gave up on the final boss. Enjoyed the game to that point but just ...no.

I agree a bit that weird changes to final boss can put a bad taste in my mouth. I had to look it up for QB and then the boss was manageable once I learned one tip.

Still a better game than what people say.
 
The biggest annoyance was the need to change my gun, trigger the boss and wait for the 10 second load to skip the cutscene every time I died but I eventually got through it. Luckily I was playing on normal so it wasn't completely impossible like I heard hard mode was.

Nobody is getting free memberships. They're switching their XBL and/or Game Pass sub to Ultimate.
Wrong. I don't know about you but I essentially just got 10 extra months of Game Pass Ultimate for free. Well technically $1. Instead of both my gold and game pass ending on 2/20, ultimate now ends on 12/20. This is the deal of the year for me so far.

Thanks for the heads up on the Beta ring getting the Ult Game Pass thing, I am good til May 2022 now on Gold and Game Pass thanks to Bing it cost me the $1 for both.

 
Care to explain yourself? I'm actually not wrong, it works. Hundreds of people on Reddit have confirmed it as well.

I got 10 free months, it could be more or less for others depending on how many months they had remaining before activating the offer.

For example: if you have 12 months of gold remaining and 12 of game pass it will add both together giving you 24 months of ultimate, basically a free 12 months added on. For $1 this is an insane deal.

How are you getting a year of gamepass for $1? It's usually $1 for a one month "trial".
 
I had four months of Game Pass from a 1 month trial and my 3 months from bing from a while ago, and now have 3 years and I spent $1 out of pocket so yeah I would say it’s a pretty good deal.
 
Just finished Resident Evil, it got really easy at the end. Might have to do that I played on easy, thought it was normal when I picked as I usually go for normal difficulty.

Now to continue with Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition.

 
Hmm, I've 5xp away from level 4... Can't get any new quests, quizzes or polls to show up despite checking daily for the past 3 days. I have noted no issues that I can legitimately report in Delta ring. Any other ideas? Do the "Insider Opportunities" like sign up for Betas and connect to Twitch, etc. provide any xp? 

Thanks in advance!

Yeah like if you enroll in that "minion masters" game and download it you should get a survey for it, my buddy did that one last night and it pushed him up enough to get into the Beta ring.

I completed Act 3 in Gears 4 solo Insane yesterday.  That first Scion encounter was a pain.  The first one with the Mulcher wasn't bad, but when the second one comes out with a Dropshot accompanied by Juvies and rushing Drones?  Ouch.  Once I finally got by that, the rest of the act wasn't too tough.  Some cheap one shot deaths with the boss, but didn't take too many tries to beat.

Started Act 4 and got to a room with another instance of the Act 3 boss, this time with Juvies - too much, and I know what pains await in some of the later stages.  I will legitimately complete solo Insame eventually, but I want to knock out the Gilded Raam challenge and all I have left is the Hardcore co-op campaign.  Joined a couple public sessions, got most of Act 2 done as well as all of Act 3.  It's almost shocking how much of a cakewalk Hardcore is with a partner.

aircobra was 100% correct. you're not just getting a free membership from nothing. you have to start with something to turn it into ultimate.

Thanks to you and everybody else for posting all of the helpful tips. I'm good through the middle of April 2022. Only paid a dollar, those microsoft rewards points really helped out.

 
Thanks! This did it. The survey popped up before the game was even downloaded... needless to say, I was completely honest on the survey. Level 5 now (typo in my last post, I was 5 xp from Lvl 5), Beta ring was available as soon as I went over and I already see the option to join GP Ultimate so cool. Now I just to put together enough months of GP and Live to maximize this awesome deal. Thanks everyone for laying it out so clearly here, not sure I would have been able to figure it all out on my own.

Yeah like if you enroll in that "minion masters" game and download it you should get a survey for it, my buddy did that one last night and it pushed him up enough to get into the Beta ring.
 
I know Bloomy and some others are really into it, but sorry for those that aren't a fan of the off topic posts. In tetris 99 how is it that my screen gets filled like 75% after a minute when I'm being attacked by one person? Do I just suck at tetris? I played it for the first time last night after seeing if achievements would unlock in minecraft after completing the task in airplane mode. Unfortunately you have to complete the task again on wifi for it to register the achievement.

As for on topic posts. Has anyone played Nippon marathon? It may be the only featured id@xbox game this month I'm interested in that I don't already own. It looks like a good party game but don't know if I need another one of those if single player isn't worth it.

No problem. It's rare I get to meaningfully contribute to the thread these days, been a looooong time since my tenure as the thread owner. This just happened to be a topic I'm very familiar with.

 
I took the family to see Detective Pikachu last night, and everyone really liked it. We all got a special movie themed pack of the cards after it was over too.
 
I completed Act 3 in Gears 4 solo Insane yesterday. That first Scion encounter was a pain. The first one with the Mulcher wasn't bad, but when the second one comes out with a Dropshot accompanied by Juvies and rushing Drones? Ouch. Once I finally got by that, the rest of the act wasn't too tough. Some cheap one shot deaths with the boss, but didn't take too many tries to beat.

Started Act 4 and got to a room with another instance of the Act 3 boss, this time with Juvies - too much, and I know what pains await in some of the later stages. I will legitimately complete solo Insame eventually, but I want to knock out the Gilded Raam challenge and all I have left is the Hardcore co-op campaign. Joined a couple public sessions, got most of Act 2 done as well as all of Act 3. It's almost shocking how much of a cakewalk Hardcore is with a partner.
I'm on Act V on Insane difficulty I believe. This is my first play through and I don't see why this game got bad press. It's fun, challenging and beautiful on the One X.

Wouldn’t say it exactly got “bad” press. It still got mostly great reviews - IGN 9.3, Game Informer 9.25, Polygon 9. Sure there were some outliers like the idiots at GameSpot giving it a 7. But on the whole I’d say it got quite positive press coverage.

The more you know. I always thought it got bad press for some reason.

It's probably just the fact everyone complains about everything on the internet.

As for the Insider Game Pass Ultimate deal, is it going to be possible to reach level five in time to take advantage of it if i'm starting from nothing? I signed up and i'm 5 points short of level 4 right now.

 
Since it's all but guaranteed Game Pass Ultimate will be "unveiled" for all at E3, I wonder if they'll still keep the current incentive of extending memberships for everyone.  I've got XBL set until 01/21 and Game Pass until 10/20, so I need to find a sweet spot of the year to upgrade (I'm not in the Insider program).

 
Has anyone used the Microsoft rewards points towards a gift card for things like Domino’s, Walmart, or other retailers? If so how does it work? I’d appreciate the help.

They may continue to convert your sub-time but I highly doubt it will be as generous as it is now and I suspect it would be for a small window of time.

You also need to have been an Insider for at least 3 months, so no.

Usually it's an e-card that you can either print or plug into the appropriate box on the retailer's website. At least, this has been my experience with AMC Theatres & Starbucks redemptions.

Not sure since it was unveiled during the last Inside Xbox and stated there and in the FAQ it will be available for all later this year, at least has me thinking Fall similar to how the Backwards Compatibility program was rolled out in the Xbox Insider program for about 6 months till it came out for everyone that Fall. I suppose they could do a conversion thing for everyone when they do roll it out in general, but the wording of it on the Xbox Insider app clearly states that this is a "reward" for helping them test it out early.

Thanks. I was going to use some points at Dominos. I’ll check their site to see how it might work with them.

GoT NON-SPOILER (just a general comment)

We finally made it through all previous seven seasons of the show and I'm glad I rewatched it because there were some connections that I didn't notice the first time through (probably due to watching one episode a week).

We watched Season 8 Episode 1 last night and the show has stepped up its opening sequence game.  Love that stuff.

 
Yeah considering I never paid very much out of pocket since GamePass started getting handed out like candy along with all my Gold through Xbox Rewards, didn't sweat any overage on the months. 

 
Looks like I got 2 extra codes for the Capitol Defender Pack when I ordered The Division 2. Message me if you can use one.

 
Don’t know what was addressed in the Just Cause 4 updates, but playing it when it first came out I was super unimpressed. However gave it another chance and been playing over the past week with gamepass and having an absolute blast.

Does it look better?
