Speaking of, I guess they detailed that one mystery unlock today. A reply further down says it's retroactive.

https://twitter.com/GearsofWar/status/1156266313582407680

 
Good 1st party Xbox titles coming next month via GWG. 360 is of nice quality too. I own 3/4. I understand some peeps not liking what's coming. Everyone has different tastes. I haven't like Zelda since it moved from 2D to 3D, so yeah. Everyone has different likes/preferences

That Gears 5 beta was a letdown for me. I love the Gears series as a whole, but that beta launch 2 weekends ago was horrendous. And all the little changes.....Gears 4 was a slight change but remapping buttons that have been in place for almost 15 years now? Changing target reticules? And the blandness and genetic feel of the two maps? I dunno. I can always remap the buttons and I guess I'll get used to it. But with the game so close to release and we aren't getting any horde info til just weeks before release??......if I preordered the game, I'd have canceled it by now. Actually glad I get to not pay $60 & play it thru game pass four days early. Worked out in the end I guess

Sucks that Puzzle Fighter game has odd achievement points. Even at 75% off, makes me hesitate. I'll play it on a different profile if I do buy it since some of the achievements are hard af to get.
 
Not a bad month for GWG even if I'm only missing 1.5 games, though I feel like an idiot now for buying Gears 4 from CDKeys a few days ago for $3. Forza was expected, probably getting delisted soon.
Have Torchlight, swore it was already GWG but it's not a bad get. Have Castlevania on disc, but I'll take the digital copy.
 
I always thought Torchlight was a strategy type game for some reason and ignored it. I'm just now finding out it's an ARPG and now I not only want to play the first, but I'm also going to pre-order TL2. I love Diablo III style games.
Yeah man, it’s just as fun and addictive as D3, just on a smaller scale. One of my favorites.

Nice, I only own Gears 4 and that's on disc so I can trade it in. It will be fun to see how much money I have racked up in Forza 6 thanks to the Forza Hub App.

Xbox One: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/forza-hub/9vwgnh0vbzmt?activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab

PC: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/forza-hub/9nblggh2fmvx?activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab

Achievement Hunters:

Gears 4 I believe all 4000 points are in the base game

Forza 6 To achieve 100% you need the following DLC:

Porsche Expansion: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/porsche-expansion/bpzf9t9mcwq7?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab

Nascar Expansion: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/nascar-expansion/c2vbpv80qd5w?rtc=1&activetab=pivot:eek:verviewtab

Torchlight All achievements are in the base game

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow To achieve 100% you need the following DLC:

Reverie: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Castlevania-Lords-of-Shadow-Reverie/9fe46e86-ac8e-4199-88b7-6d3bcc77380a

Came here to share the info on Preacher. Ex-BF loved the comic, said the 1st season was great but didn't like season 2.

The emails I get on my phone usually show the subject most prominently. UV sent out an email that said "Thank you and goodbye" and I panicked because I had a very suicidal patient recently who primarily communicates over email. Not cool, UV.
Yeah, I redeemed another 9 UltraViolet codes when I got home from work this evening. Most were DC Animated Features. I'm still pouring through my DVD and Blu-Ray collection to see if I had more UV codes. The funny thing is that I found codes in several unmarked DVD cases. A few of them were in those cheap DVD movies that you buy at Walmart on Black Friday that cost $3.96, and I'm still checking.

 
As a person who hasn't played Gears 4 yet, what modes are these unlockable character and weapon skins for? I honestly doubt I'll get my girlfriend to play anything other than the campaign, and have no interest playing anything else without her. We still need to play through Judgement first. And 100 other games.

 
I’ll have to look more into Wreckfest. That one caught my eye.
Been waiting forever for Wreckfest. Was well received on PC and was supposed to be out on console at the end of last year and had been looking forward to it. Annoyed that it took this long but will be getting it day one.

COG characters are for Horde and Multiplayer. Swarm/Locust are Multiplayer only.

 
Ouch I own all the GWG games this month. I think that is a first. Only nice thing is I have Castlevania on disc so I won't need that anymore.

 
Just grabbed Doom 3... hot damn are the graphics sharp as shit on X! The character models are shit and there are some shoddy textures, don't get me wrong... but overall it looks spectacular. Haven't played this since OG XBOX and it's such a nostalgia trip. Highly recommended.

Great that Castlevania is on GWG.

Not sure if all Australia but I did not have the last spend $40 get 4000 points punchcard for the big sale we recently had but of course I have the Winter Spotlight (Winter because Australia), where it is new games and preorders only.

 
Mobile and pc searches aren’t working for some reason but the 20 edge points are.

Hopefully fixed in the morning.
I noticed it this morning because I always do my Bing searches before I get my day started. Neither the PC/Xbox One or mobile searches are posting points. But the extra points quiz and the daily poll are working, so those will count toward the daily streak if people are worried about that.

 
Just a reminder for those who will be new to Gears 4. There is currently an event of sorts to unlock special gilded (black and gold) versions of characters, and a few other things like Golden Weapons, in both Gears 4 and Gears 5. The last batch of activities go live on 8/1, including playing the campaign co-op.

You can actually see all but one of the requirements in the achievement list, I know a few of the unlisted ones are play 10 MP games, play 3 Horde matches, and the above Beat the Campaign in Co-op. They all end on 9/2, and even starting fresh I think you should be able to do most of them if you're really interested. The hardest ones to do in a month are probably "Earn 50 achievements" and "Get 2500 kills in Horde in Gears of War 4" unless you're willing to grind a bit. I don't think "Craft the High Roller emblem in Gears of War 4 for 3,000 scrap" is going to be feasible either unless they do some kind of in-game boost or bonus.

Finally, Gilded RAAM and e-sports Kait are already locked out due to date restrictions, though Re-Uping 10 times for RAAM means reaching level 1000, which likely would have been impossible in a month unless it was literally all you did besides sleep.

You can easily track everything here.

Supposedly this stuff is retroactive but I've been playing Gears heavily since the first one and I have zero completion showing on this page when I log in... is this not supposed to be live yet?

I know for sure I have some of these unlocked, but i'm showing big fat zeros across the board.

Anyone else experiencing this or is it just my profile?

When’s the last time you logged in to Gears 4? Might have something to do with it. Just start up the game and see if anything pops, then check again.
 
Just finished up Timespinner. Really fun game if you like the metroidvania genre. Also, not too challenging to get the 1000 GS if that is your thing.
 
What surprised to see after getting Gears 4, it nows asks if I want to install on my tablet, never seen that before, wonder how it would play though!

I Like how a bunch of these quests make me regret beating and getting the most in completion I can get.

 
Dang, had not heard of Slay the Spire, but apparently it's universally acclaimed. 15k reviews on Steam and it's got a 10/10 user score....wow.

EDIT - just saw Pandemic. The GF loves board games and is losing her shit right now when I told her there's an Xbox version.

Love Slay the Spire. It was the first game I tested when the Steam Link app launched on iOS because it seemed like a perfect fit and don’t play PC games much. And it actually plays quite well with touch controls. Believe there is a mobile port on the way, which will be awesome for on the go.

But absolutely glad to see if finally on Xbox One as well and on GP to boot!

So much happiness and acclaim in here, need to bring it back to reality.

Putting games that have been/are in game pass as gwg is lame. Especially with the recent $1 switch over deal. I own one Forza game...it is 6. Happy to play lords of shadow but torchlight and the game pass list all strike me as games that folks in the switch or steam thread go nuts for and I have no clue existed.

But whatever, my backlog persists and maintains my attention.

I just finished it as well. I've been in a metroidvania mood lately and played Timespinner, Bloodstained and Guacamelee 2 all back to back. Timespinner was probably my least favorite of the three (Bloodstained being my favorite) but it was still a very fun game that I definitely recommend.

Downwell is a pretty nice surprise. It's a very simple but extremely addicting rouge like. I put quite a bit of time into it when it first released.

 
As a person who hasn't played Gears 4 yet, what modes are these unlockable character and weapon skins for? I honestly doubt I'll get my girlfriend to play anything other than the campaign, and have no interest playing anything else without her. We still need to play through Judgement first. And 100 other games.
Gears campaign mode is always locked to the characters in the story. These characters work in multiplayer (they're all human so you'd have them when on the COG/Blue team), and in Horde. In 5 I get the impression that Escape is also limited to story characters, and the other modes will likely work the same way as 4.

 
As it turns out i already own Gears 4 digitally, bought it back in Febuary for some reason.  Probably paid 10 bucks for it from CD Keys.  

The Gears 5 tech test was alright, I didn't have the issues others had but I only played once this past weekend.  One game of team death match, it was fine.  I prefer old school gears multiplayer where its one life per round.  Controlled well but I didn't like how fast you get downed, felt like COD where as soon as you start getting shot you are almost dead.

Aren’t you just a little ray of sunshine?

The podcasts I listen to have been raving about Slay the Spire for a while, so I’m psyched to try it out on Xbox since I don’t really game on PC. Pandemic is something I’ve always wanted to try IRL but never have, so looking forward to that one as well.

TTK (time to kill) is always a tough thing to nail in these online shooters. I hear people complain that Apex TTK is to long but I think I prefer a longer TTK, it enhances the team aspect. It means if you work with your team you’re more likely to take someone out if they are by themselves. When they make the time to short then a solo player can go on rampages more because of the easy kills. I’m sure these companies struggle to know where the right place is to set it at, the damage vs health/shields.
