Yes with ultimate (since it’s gold+gamepass) you get free games every month to keep...

You don’t need to buy games there’s a bunch of games on gamepass you can download and play as long as you got the subscription...when the subscription ends you can no longer play those games. However you can still play the games you received for free monthly.
No (well half right), only the XB360 monthly free games are playable with expired Gold/Ultimate. The XB1 monthly free games are not playable without a current Gold/Ultimate subscription (like PS+). If you re-subscribe you can play them again though, they don't get cleared off your account if it lapses.

 
I don't pay much attention to it but aren't most physical games getting huge ass patches anyway? I mean if you buy a game on disc because of bandwidth caps aren't you still downloading most of it anyway? Don't most online games force you to update? Or is there still a significant bandwidth savings installing from disc?

Just seems with all the huge patches those with small caps are in trouble anyway.
Games like The Division II and CoD Black Ops 4 might as well be digital only considering the disc required mandatory updates. Then you have games like Street Fighter V or Gears 5 that can be played offline but you need to download a ton of shit regardless.

 
At first I was against that idea of an all digital console the beginning of the XBox One generation, but with how heavy Game Pass is a part of XBox now and how I can get games either heavily discounted or for free via Rewards, I'm not really against the idea for next gen.
I don't have a problem with an optional console that is digital only, but I still don't like the idea of having a lower spec console like this rumor mentions. It seems like a guaranteed anchor in the long term if devs have to design with it in mind.

 
Meanwhile December additions to PS Now...

PUBG
F1 2019
Wolfenstein: Old Blood

Hmm, Sony’s really competing with GamePass, huh? LOL.

Oh they will attempt parity for a while, with a few less graphical whiz bangs, but eventually (as is happening now), the lower spec system will simply not be able to keep up (from what I've seen Jedi Fallen Order on the regular XB1 is significantly worse and barely up to snuff). Some developers don't even bother trying to optimize for the lower spec now.

I'll still get the disc version after two years or so (gotta feed the physical movie and game backlog), but a part of me is curious if they can somehow make the empty promises of "The Cloud" a reality with the budget console. Since Crackdown 3 made so many promises of The Cloud being able to handle all the destruction in the game, but of course not living up to expectations, I'm curious if now with them focused on streaming if it's actually doable now and the console and the internet working together.

 
If it gives you any peace of mind, I've had a bunch of games that said "Disc made in Mexico" and doesn't make a lick of difference in the game. Hell, I even have a version of Rise of the Tomb Raider with Spanish on the back instead of English, but when I put it in my XBox it's still in English and all fine and dandy. Also on the subject of XBox on the Game Pass and other nerd talk thread...

Codename Lockhart? I bet it has a unique system shell shaped like FF7 Tifa's chest so Microsoft can finally make a run at the Japanese market.

Yeah I could probably consider an all digital console at this point. It seems a hell of a lot more reasonable now that I will likely only play gamepass games and only buy about 1-2 others per year as long as this lasts.

Looks like they're dropping support for Gwent on consoles starting Dec. 9th. You'll be able to transfer your progress to PC or mobile instead.

  • There will be no regular updates for console versions starting with the December 9th update
  • Future expansions and additional content won’t be released on consoles
  • We’re disabling all real-money purchases on consoles, starting today - After the December 9th, 2019 update, matchmaking on consoles with other platforms will no longer be supported

Buuuuuut, aren't :xb1: and :ps4: consoles really just specialized PC's under the covers, all utilizing x86 architecture?  Of course I have no insight into their development process, but I wouldn't think that the version of the game for each of these platforms is wildly different.

Also, it doesn't look good for a dev to abandon otherwise popular platforms so they can focus on mobile and PC versions.  It looks like they've bitten off more than they can chew by trying to expand to other markets and instead of halting that new development (or growing their dev teams) they are chopping off the limbs that are already there.  That doesn't seem to make sense.  I wonder if we can expect layoffs from them.

In the end it doesn't matter to me because I've never played the game, and maybe it isn't affecting that many players, but it smells fishy to me.  Certain small parts of the internet will probably be on fire after this.

Also, it doesn't look good for a dev to abandon otherwise popular platforms so they can focus on mobile and PC versions. It looks like they've bitten off more than they can chew by trying to expand to other markets and instead of halting that new development (or growing their dev teams) they are chopping off the limbs that are already there. That doesn't seem to make sense. I wonder if we can expect layoffs from them.

In the end it doesn't matter to me because I've never played the game, and maybe it isn't affecting that many players, but it smells fishy to me. Certain small parts of the internet will probably be on fire after this.
I'm guessing PC and mobile are more active for this type of game, and the money and time they spend going through getting updates approved by Microsoft and Sony isn't worth it, especially if they have a small team.

WTF are you talking about? My Friend Pedro got great reviews on Switch and PC. Demon’s Tilt looks awesome and also great reviews on Steam for the PC version.

This lineup absolutely blows PS Now’s December additions out of the water.

Think it’s time for me to bring out my friend ...the ignore button.

Gears 5 Operation 2 begins next week.  2 maps for Vs (1 new, 1 returning), 14 player Free for All mode with 3 dedicated maps, 2v2 Gnashers maps, new characters, new Tour of Duty.  Haven't seen any mention of new achievements.

Forza Horizon 4 will have a free car in the Forzathon shop each day in December.

 
The Season of Dawn Reveal Trailer is now online for your enjoyment, if you weren't able to watch the stream live.

The actual video starts at about 10:40.

 
Also, i don’t have many games to begin with so d/ling patches is not so common with me. I just live with what i can manage and enjoy gaming. Thanks everyone for your take on this.
 
I thought maybe we'd get an Xbox Live Gold deal sometime through Black Friday but the drought continues.  I don't need it because of GPU but I need to get a 1-year sub for my nephew for Christmas.

Also my VCR XBox One is running HELLLLLLA slow these days. As in pressing guide button takes a few seconds to pop up or when I go into storage management it takes especially long. Even loading up Far Cry 4 is a chore as in it takes about five minutes to go from start up to an actual game.
I highly suggest a factory reset for your console. You can save your settings to an external hard drive and then factory reset with the option to keep games installed. You won't lose anything and the system will be running like brand new. I went from 5 minute + load times to 1 minute loads. It was like night and day!

Another CAG mentioned it awhile back and I was skeptical, but I'm glad I tried it.

I'll probably do that tonight, thanks. I've done a few hard resets and tried deleting a few things, but seen no difference so I think this is my only option regardless.

Card games aren't really console things, they live on mobile and PC. Hearthstone easily could have come, but it wasn't ever worth it. I don't read much into this other than trimming the lower producing area.
 
I’m trying to finish Before the Storm since it’s leaving Gamepass soon and I don’t know if it’s me but it hasn’t grabbed me like Life is Strange 1 did. I’d like to find out more of the story but it moves so slow. Anyone else like the first one but disappointed with Before the Storm?
 
That's rather astounding to hear. I get that it's likely a dev kit. I'm amazed we haven't had any real leaks from either new console about architecture instead of conjecture. It certainly puts to rest any backwards compatibility questions.

Come on now, ignoring someone because their opinion differs to yours? I mean if you don't like pinball and haven't heard of My Friend Pedro then the line up looks pretty suspect compared to previous months.

Sounds like the hardware is near final. Next year is going to be fun.

Also you're the one that made it about a console war even though I agree, Sony's lineup for + and Now are shit tier.

Oh, it’s not just that one post. He’s constantly ragging on Xbox in this thread. Not sure why he’s even here. I don’t go into the PSN thread and bash Sony’s line up. Heck, I just got a PSVR. No console war issue here. Just saying to act like this GP line up is just absolute crap is wrong. Just my opinion.

Oh, I wasn't aware of their post history, carry on then. lol And I edited out the console war line, but you quoted me too quick. :)

The best part of before the storm is the damn DLC chapter about the last day Max and Chloe spent together. Think they should've maybe done the story a little later into Chloe and Rachel's friendship than they did.

Couldn't agree more. That said I love the series so far. I've been holding out for all the episodes to drop before starting Season 2. Probably going to do it this weekend. Hope it holds up especially being based around different characters.

I enjoyed LiS but couldn't get through BtS. I only managed to finish the first episode and that was by forcing myself.

The first episode is a slog except where you play D&D. Rachael seems interesting but I wonder if Chloe being the main character is part of the disconnect. I wasn’t fond of her in the first one. I may skip to the extra chapter because Max was a great.

I liked Before the Storm, but my god, the bonus episode from the deluxe version is brutal. But I highly recommend for anyone who played the first game.

Looks to be releases only up until Dec 12th. Still another 19 days.

The games I hadn't heard of seem to have great ratings too.

They already announced other stuff for Dec. last month. Only good game is Witcher 3, and considering it's the best game this gen, I'd wager probably only 10% of gamers havent played it yet. Other than that December is pretty dull gamepass wise.

No idea where the dude got the idea I'm specifically here to shit on xbox. I have both and the only reason I use my PS4 is for exclusives and netflix. Where people get their ideas from is bizzare
 
Do you know about the different ways to get rewards points? It can help pay for game pass just by spending a few minutes a day doing searches and clicking the mouse a bit. There are also quests within game pass and the rewards app on your console.
Yeah, I've been doing Bing searches for years for the free gift cards.
 
Toy Story 3 is pretty fun if you can get past that first slightly annoying train level. It turns into a semi open world RPG/town building game. And, it's good for a licensed game.
 
I hated him so deep in my soul
Don't worry, it's not like he'll follow you into other games...OH GOD!

Also got my One X today and I got to ask, is it suppose to give out so much warm air?

 
Just in case someone didn't see, this image was leaked on the Playstation Store yesterday. It's likely we will get a Xbox/PS4 announcement this month. Now I just need Capcom to give me a Dino Crisis Collection and a Power Stone Collection
