Do it as a raffle. Sell tickets for it then winner gets it. Honestly though id rather put that money to charity like we used to do. We used to do donations for extra life which was a charity for video games in hospitals for sick kids
Some coworkers and I are doing Extra Life streams this weekend starting at 10am Eastern tomorrow.

https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.team&teamID=44311

Haven't staked out a streaming time in the rotation yet, but I'll be doing some Tetris 99 (with donations made based on where I place in each game), Pokemon Sword and Shield, I picked up Fallen Order and will be doing some other gaming.

 
I picked this up a while ago. I SUCK at driving backwards in the demo derbies. I tried to unlock other stuff for a bit but got side tracked. Wish I could just play more of the other forward going tracks without unlocking them. I think I still have only the base car. I just want to drive around forward and smash stuff.
I think the game was designed to pretty much only drive forward. Yes, unfortunately there is a lot of unlocking to do. You could always just do online matches and chose whatever style track you want.

I am doing some of the early demo derbies and those seem to work better (or at least the car/vehicle lasts longer) if you go backwards. I don't really enjoy those that much.

I will have to check out some of the online stuff next. I haven't messed with that yet.

Anybody feel like posting the bing rewards top search answers? You can't retake it so if you get it wrong you lose the points.  Would be much appreciated for me and a lot of others on here.  

 
So I had the Gamepass EA Access, Discord and Spotify offer. I clicked it but then backed out before selecting anything. Now it is gone. Any way to get it to appear again?

This will always have the answers your looking for https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/

Same here, it was late last night and I wasn't going to start scanning in QR codes with my phone and yeah never came back. Although even that tile looked all kinds of jacked up to begin with.

 
I was at the same spot and didn't have time to deal with it right then and there. 

I took a picture of the QR Code and URL and dealt with it later.  Just did the Spotify deal.  Had to create a 3rd account and use a different credit card.  

I used the URL later after signing into my wife's new Spotify account and it worked.

Same thing happened to me. On console, go to Games and Apps. On the left side, scroll down to Gold. On the right, click on first tile (Xbox Live Gold - Play together with Gold). On the next screen, "Claim your Ultimate Gift" should be a tile on the right, under Featured.

Just checked and mine still shows up in the xbox live section of the store. Sometimes it's in the gamepass tab too, but for me it's always been in the Xbox Live membership section.

Thanks!!!
 
Underestimated how similar Remnant is to Dark Souls. Was hoping for a laid back WWZ type game, but this is absolutely not it. Disappointing.
 
so is mortal kombat premium worth $44. Im asking since I am highly tempted by it for that price
Are you a big MK fan? I love it, and bought it at launch for $80 or whatever it was. The costume/armor setup isn’t as fun or intuitive as Injustice 2, but it’s still a great fighter.
 
Nothing super important, then. Man, I would have flipped out if I had missed the Mixpot from a couple years ago with Rare Replay in it...

Since they patched it load times are much better and it is in 4K now. Also, online is a blast! One more thing - you can create your own single player custom races and I believe you get XP for playing them.

 
I've only played the intro mission for Jedi Fallen Order so far, but I sincerely hope there isn't nearly as much jumping and traversal in the game going forward.  I feel like I'm playing Tomb Raider or Assassin's Creed rather than a Jedi game :whistle2:(

 
Is the Destiny Shadowkeep Deluxe Edition worth the extra money? I could care less about it but my son is obsessed with that game and I see it's on sale now, but I don't understand what's so special about it besides cosmetic stuff?
 
So busy playing Star Wars that I didn't realize Mandalorian ep2 was out already. I liked it but hope the next episode is longer than 27 minutes.

 
Hey guys,

Are the deals on XBL Gold (12 months for $35ish) still reliable to expect between now and February? I've been out of the CAG game for awhile, so I'm a little rusty.

I see a deal at Apac Mart, but I've never heard of them. 

Throwing myself on the mercy of CAG to see what you've experienced lately with those deals.

Thanks!

 
Is the Destiny Shadowkeep Deluxe Edition worth the extra money? I could care less about it but my son is obsessed with that game and I see it's on sale now, but I don't understand what's so special about it besides cosmetic stuff?
Outside of the cosmetic stuff, it comes with four seasons ($10 each separately), so basically all year 3 content. The standard Shadowkeep copy only comes with one season.
 
For any Costco members out there just got an email starting tomorrow they will have $200 in Xbox gift cards for $89.99. You get a $100 one and two $50 ones perfect for the Black Friday sales!
 
I've only played the intro mission for Jedi Fallen Order so far, but I sincerely hope there isn't nearly as much jumping and traversal in the game going forward. I feel like I'm playing Tomb Raider or Assassin's Creed rather than a Jedi game :whistle2:(
Umm...I think I have very bad news for you

 
It’s just 2 $50 cards for $90.

My bad didn’t see the print lol. Still a pretty good deal until another Rakuten deal comes along.
 
And does their code work for existing GPU subs or just new? Not sure I am going to give Discord my CC either way.
I just did the Discord 3-month gift tonight. It worked just fine with my existing GPU subscription. As others have stated, the 3-month Game Pass code gives you 2 months of Game Pass Ultimate

 
Does anyone have an external HD to recommend? I’ve been using a 4TB WD My Book for close to three years if not a bit longer. I started hearing it run more often with a slight tremble if I put my hand on it. I’m a little concerned it might be failing. Am I imagining things? If not, which should I consider for a potential replacement? Thanks.

No offense, but did you not research this game at all before buying? It's kind of like Uncharted + Dark Souls + Star Wars.

 
PSA for those that occasionally hop onto Fortnite. There is currently a pretty cool Stormtrooper skin in the shop. 1500 Vbucks, or free if you buy the Epic Games (PC) version of Jedi Fallen Order. Supposedly it's only up through the 17th, but I'd be surprised if we don't see more Star Wars stuff when Rise of Skywalker is close. There is also a Star Destroyer in the sky but it's really far away.

While I'm posting this stuff, Overwatch has yet another event skin to unlock for free. This time it's "Recall Mercy" who is just wearing normal doctor clothes. Lore-wise I think its supposed to be what she was up to when the Recall signal went out that leads to OW2. 9 wins as usual.

I'm not sure what this means. Jedi focused action games have generally been pretty platform/traversal heavy. The Jedi Knight games are probably furthest away since they originated from an FPS, but we had all the prequel games and Force Unleashed since then.

How much of it is like Dark Souls? Not a star wars fan, but it seems like a fun overall game that's more adventure than star wars. However, if its heavily Dark Soulsy I'm out. We have WAYYY too many Souls clones for whatever reason.

I've seen some Dark Souls boss fights on YouTube, but never played it, so I can't really elaborate on how much it copies. It does have four difficulty settings though, in case anyone is turned off by Dark Souls' difficulty and doesn't want that in a Star Wars game.

I played through the opening area and the first planet after that, and I like the game well enough. I preferred KOTOR where there were areas with characters to talk to and barter with and all that, but I'll take what I can get. Hopefully they patch out the framerate issues though. Performance mode on an Xbox One X really shouldn't chug like it does sometimes. It's not a constant thing, but some areas get hit bad with it.

Edit: I only really got it because I like Star Wars. I've never been interested in Dark Souls. Personally, I would have liked it more if they copied the Batman Arkham style of combat, but oh well.

It has some of the systems of Dark Souls, like "bonfires" save points, tons of shortcuts and get your XP back from the guy that killed you. I'm on my 4th planet and it's never once felt punishing like Dark Souls where I've lost an hour of progress to some BS. There are save points a plenty. If anything I'd say combat is closer to Sekiro than the slow combat of Dark Souls. Moving around pretty quick and using force powers and the "parry" window is very generous on Normal difficulty. The back half of the 3rd planet I was on felt like a huge Zelda style dungeon we should have gotten in Zelda Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch.

I got it with GCU + the $10 bonus so wasn't too worried about the cost side of things. I remember from the E3 demo the guy was doing a little climbing with force manipulation of a fan and so on, I just didn't think it would be so heavy on those elements. I figured it would be more lightsaber focused maybe with Dark Souls difficulty and execution which I'd be fine with.

I guess I don't see the fun in clambering around in these games? There's always a path, it's usually pretty obvious, and so you just have to hit the right key at the right time. I don't find it very fun, sort of like one step up from 'hunt the collectable'. In a jedi game it really slows down the flow and and action; imagine playing Doom or Crysis and then inserting long climbing sections. Oh well, will see how it goes today.

 
Like most people who hear a Souls comparison, I get worried about unnecessary difficulty. As someone who likes to coast through on easy difficulty, that is an option in this right?
 
I still have about $80 left from that Staples promo with the discounted space bux, if MS is selling the Fallen Order bundle direct for $200, that's definitely the route I'm going for a spare system. 

Until xCloud makes it obsolete via laptop streaming. 

 
Since Contra: Rogue Corps is free to play this weekend, I downloaded it.  I have to say that I don't really like it.  Putting a required cool-down on the character's gun is stupid.  One of the things that made the Contra series great is just shooting things and watching them blow up.  Having to stop shooting long enough to let your gun recharge takes you out of the action for way too long and makes you a sitting duck.

 
Is it still one hit and you die? There was a King of Fighters character or two in Metal Slug that would take 2 hits before dying, and that helped the running and gunning enormously.

Yeah I downloaded it and was like OK, it's not great with these graphics and this camera angle but it's kind of a twin stick shooter and it's crazy presentation is like what someone in Japan must think that America is basically still playing Duke Nuke Em. I could overlook all of that but the minute I found there was a gun over heating mechanic I was out.
