Just started Gears 5 this weekend and made it to the matriarch fight and it’s a pia. After quite a few deaths had to shut down for the night. Anyone have any tips / tricks for this fight?
IIRC, when you first enter the room, if you go straight ahead, there's an alcove on the far side with a Cryo Cannon you can use to freeze her then shoot her back.

When she jumps out of the hole the first time, try to keep the hole between her and you and shoot her to get her to charge. She should fall into the water again before the hole closes, saving you from needing to use grenades to open a fresh one until the cut scenes.

Spec Jack with the zap ability to stun her as well.

I don't really want to respond with the dumb shit at the end of the post there, but I will say if anyone cares about DOA being censored on consoles, either the fighter or Volleyball series, then get them on PC. They're uncensored and have plenty of lewd/nude mods, as well as normal mods that add cool costumes or model swaps.

Most of the other stuff in that list is just really niche for them to be high on the priority list, while racing games tend to have licensing issues with both cars and music.
excuses are good, its nice to know u are pro censorship/triggered for giving alternatives instead of coming out and saying their faults, ur the type of person who encourages the nintendo with their mariokart cell phone game for changing snowman to snow people....please hand in ur commonsense card for terrorism/ignoranism at least accept who ur are instead of socialist propaganda

Seriously, fuck off and die.

 
What's with all the new people asking to be blocked and/or banned lately? I feel like this is the third or fourth one this month. Must be the holiday sales.

 
Yeah! Keep Halo white!
Wait, it was BigStew gassing on about this? Whoops, let me correct my previous comment.

This is probably one of those guys who bitches about how we've become "too sensitive" and that speech was much more free and open in the old days... even though we've had twenty years of South Park and Family Guy. The reality is that they've lived so long being able to spit out their rabid froth under the cover of anonymity that they can't handle it when those nutty views are challenged. Back in the "good old days," without the internet hiding your identity, the people you've insulted would pound you into hamburger after you spewed your bile in public. Which kind of makes me nostalgic for those days myself, come to think of it.

Any guesses when the next Hot Deal will happen assuming it actually does? I don't recall what day last month's dropped. I'm hoping for that funny money, my GF is dogging me to make a large purchase.

 
I wanted to chime in on sea of thieves. It's much better now. A year later. When it first came out it was bare Bones.

It doesn't give you much direction so it can be over whelming at first. They have added in a Madden voyage and it does pretty well of training now.

I joined in with some regulars yesterday and had a great time. We all worked together. You can navigate pretty well with the on screen commands but it's much easier with mics.

Basically, it works better if you have a captain and the other crew following orders and doing their jobs like setting the sails, repairing the ship, or manning the Cannon's. If you all work together it can be a really great experience.

We were in the 3 person mid sized boat and we were taking on the large boats.

We found a single guy and raided his stuff and sunk his boat. He got pissed and kept sending us messages on messenger asking why we runied his day by sinking his boat. Lol. Dude went off the deep end.

I finally had to tell him....ah...it's part of the game man. You know....pirates and stuff.

I thought the guy was going to track me down and knife me in my sleep.

Anyways..... A long story short. Give it a try if you haven't and stick with it for a bit. Go out on a small sloop with a closed crew by your self to learn the ins and outs then try the larger crews when you become more experienced.

I really wanted to like Sea of Thieves and gave it a try a few times w/ the fiancé and friends, but the biggest problem I have with it is that there’s no option to add a reticle to the screen. The game actually made me seasick while playing - headache, nausea, etc. Mirror’s Edge 1, which came out over 10 years ago, realized that without a reticle people would become sick while playing the game, but they can’t even add an accessibility option to SoT to add the reticle for those who need it?

On a more positive note, still enjoying Reach on MCC, fiancé is back to her old ass-kicking ways in Invasion and I’m along for the ride (aka the guy who runs in and dies a lot while she stands back and picks people off). Wish they had included some form of voting for all the Reach modes they added though. Not having a vote for Firefight is a big miss on 343’s part especially.

What happens if you put a little sticker dot in the middle of your screen? Does it help any? (not being a jerk, just wondering if that might help)

I played SoT at launch and enjoyed it for the most part. But all of these latest updates have made it a full downright addicting experience.

Being a little paranoid about the 5 cents a day actually working, do three months of game pass, and three months of gold come out to be the same amount of days in Ultimate when they are added? Because, it's currently 18,000 for three months of game pass, or 20,000 for three months of gold. Or, should I just wait until I have the 35,000 saved and get the three months of Ultimate? I'm already at almost 13,000 points after 15 days of owning my Xbox One X.

Yes pretty sure they convert the same, 3 months of gold or game pass converts to two months of ultimate

Did you see you can manage your Xbox hard drive from the Gamepass app now?

Woof. What a crappy sale. I guess we're saving up for next week, maybe?

Also, I'm a little late chiming in on the adventure game talk, but those were my post-NES addiction. I loved Sierra and LucasArts. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father is still my favorite game of all time. I'm so glad I held on to my CD version with the original voice cast.

If you get a chance, check out the King's Quest remake from a few years back. It's surprisingly very well done (and stars Christopher Lloyd!)

The original GK1 is my favorite point and click adventure game. Great performances by Tim Curry and Mark Hamill.

I have a soft spot for Zak McKracken as it was the first game from the genre that I played.

How have I never heard of any of these?
You really need to give 8-Bit Adventure Anthology a shot then. Shadowgate was the gateway to the genre for many kids of the NES era. I was an oddball who got into the genre with Deja Vu, which came out a couple years later.

Shadowgate was a sword and sorcery adventure, Deja Vu was a great hardboiled crime story, and Uninvited was a take on the horror genre.

My only gripe with the 8-Bit Adventure Anthology is it doesn’t contain the fourth NES game of the era, Deja Vu 2. But if you’re and achievement hunter, it’s an easy 1000, with all the achievements being great ways to die!

EDIT: Anthology, not Collection, for those looking in the store.

Is the non home console registered by serial number to your account?
Yeah. I used to be able to change default console trhough the GP app, but now only the 'home' console appears. Both consoles are still registered.

It was to install Untitled Goose Game which is available through Gamepass but doesnt appear in store through the console yet. I was finally able to get to it through its xbox club. Just about to try it out.

That’s actually not a terrible suggestion. I’m not super interested in it anymore but if I ever feel inclined to try again, I’ll definitely give this a shot. Thanks.

 
Thanks for the heads up, I’m gonna check that out on GP!

I thought of another set of the point and clicks that I didn’t think of earlier that are fantastic: Shadowgate and Deja Vu. Played those on the NES, loved them then, loved them again as part of the 8-Bit Adventure Collection with The Uninvited.

I was a little kid the first time I played Shadowgate on NES. It'd creep me out but I loved it. I've been thinking about picking up that 8-Bit Adventure Anthology, it's only $8 and I've never tried the other two games.

They also did a Remake of Shadowgate I would like to try.

This talk of Shadowgate reminds me of the N64 sequel, which my brother and I could not get any damn where in as kids. Not only was it inscrutable and hard to control, as I recall, but the character models were kind of hideous, which made them and the game all the more creepy to play ... and he and I hadn't played the original, so nostalgia was not there to propel us forward.

I wonder if I could beat it without a walkthrough now. I doubt it, but I also doubt it'd be worth my time.

On another note: I enjoy Sea of Thieves and think I'm decent enough at it, but I don't play it because I don't have anyone to crew up with. If there were better matchmaking for it, or I knew a crew to play with, I'd happily sink an hour or two a night into it.

 
Thank you! That's exactly what I was doing, got it.

Maybe someone can help me out with this or explain it to me, I got the gears 5 special edition Xbox one x and redeemed the code for the game, but it doesn't say I own the game when I go to the product page, just shows download with gamepass or purchase to own. If I go to my activity it shows it has a code redemption, just want to make sure I will still have access to it once game pass is up. It's strange because gears 4 and all the other games show as purchased, just not gears 5 or the ultimate edition.

I didn't realize that there are even more quests for points in the Game Pass app for phones. Though some of them seem slightly difficult, the more points the better.

My vertigo therapist taught me to pick a single spot to focus on so the dot is a great idea but ideally not on the TV. Close in eye range tho so it's easy to pick it during a wave of vertigo

I suffer from really bad migraines, so I can't do VR. So, I kind of get how you feel. I wish that I didn't, as some VR games look really fun.

Migraines since I was 10, stopped being able to go on rollercoasters and rides by 19. Wish I could do VR as well but nope, not happening

I take pills that my doctor prescribed to me. But, they only mask the pain, they don't really get rid of the migraines. 3D movies also mess me up pretty bad, if I keep the glasses on too long.
