Last night there were quests for specific games like 15 stealth kills in Dishonored 2 for like 150 points. But, they are strangely missing this morning.
They have daily/weekly/monthly quests in the mobile app but they expire after so many days. I have not seen any added yet this week so hopefully they are just delayed and working it.

Mine stopped working a couple weeks ago, checked the Preview FAQ and it stated the 19th was a scheduled end date for the Preview, not sure if it's a tiered thing or what
 
Sea of Thieves daily special is double xp in all companies(Order of Souls, Gold Hoarder, Merchant Alliance, Hunters Call and even Sea Dogs)! There is also a unique gilded hoard voyage around the Ancient Isles which is in everyone's stash today. I'll continue to grind out Sea Dogs via a sloop in the arena since I'm level 50 in the other factions. Just hit level 31 so I got a ways to go.

Glad to hear peeps are giving Sea of Thieves some love in here. No game is perfect and yes, this game was bare bones the first 6 months. They have improved the game vastly. And to answer those who do get motion sickness, you CAN add an overlay crosshair. Rare added that after community requests. You can go into options and turn it on now :)
You convinced me to give it another go even though I generally despise multiplayer games and wasn't impressed when I tried it out earlier. And thank you for accepting my friend request (I'm FortWorth Piper).
 
A heads up for those that picked up Starlink starter packs for any of the systems the past few weeks for $10 or less

Gamestop now has the

Ships reduced to $4.99

Weapon packs reduced to $2.99

Figures reduced to $1.99

In the Quests part on the Game Pass portion on the Xbox Dashboard all the Monthly stuff was counting down to today December 17th. I was able to do enough to get the 1000 Points for the Monthly completion a few days ago. I skipped the Sea of Thieves and Monster Hunter ones that were worth a 100 points. Pretty sure these are part of a console ring program, but weird you had them then you didn't.

Also to add to the confusion and of note, these are completely different than the Game Pass quests that show up in the MS Rewards App on the Xbox Dashboard. Tracking has been instantaneous for me, and it was kind of cool they were surfacing stuff that wasn't even attached to traditional achievements like that 15 stealth kills in Dishonored 2 and one day I had to shoot like 5 hats off in Westerado.

 
OT but lots of movie fans here, Best Buy has B2G1 on Disney Steelbooks as DOTD, and many of them are already on sale. Just got Toy Story 1-3 4k Steelbooks for $30. I prefer digital 90% of the time, but at this price I couldn't say no to a few favorites.
This is insane. I usually buy them for $35 when they come out! Thanks a ton!

It's weird, they stopped working in the Game Pass mobile app and then the tab is under my profile on my X but the quests disappeared. I'm in Alpha or Skip Ahead so not sure what happened but oh well

Ugh, I want to double-dip on 4k and steels to update Iron Man, Thor, and Zootopia but even for $30 I'm just sitting here thinking it's all on D+ and I haven't watched those movies in years. Streaming as a service really is killing any motivation for me to buy physical anymore. : \

18 more minutes and I won't want to buy any more of these movies...

17 minutes...

 
I Started Afterparty and got up to the point where I got my first achievement. There's a game in here, right?
Really didn’t like that game, quit pretty early. It was boring and the main characters were way too annoying. It was especially disappointing because I loved the premise and adored oxenfree.

I kept chugging along and still didn't like it either. I'm far enough that I feel like I could get to the end relatively easily, but just can't get myself to continue. Also what's with the performance issues? I'm playing on xbox one x and it stutters and just doesn't run smoothly. Also loved the premise and oxenfree, but so glad I didn't waste money on it.
 
I like it, but I can also save myself the time, and watch a 6 hour YouTube video of the whole game. Since there is minimal actual gameplay in the game besides walking everywhere.

I'm glad it wasn't just me. The game's got a nice original look, though nothing that should be taxing even a normal One, but once the game goes beyond a person standing and talking it chugs. It's been awhile where within the first thirty minutes of a game I felt nothing. Like it doesn't give me a hint or reason in making me want to play more. The characters all have the same smart ass personality, there's no weight to your choices and gameplay is nothing more then moving left or right with no purpose to explore. I legit am baffled by this game so far in just how empty it is and wonder who it's for.

Well, thanks to that Best Buy Disney movie deal, I now have $55 in Disney space bucks. So that's a nice double dip

I was going to use the funny money to get some additional movies from Disney's website, but they charge $35 for 4K discs. Might use it for holiday gifts instead, or find someone to trade with

It was well reviewed too, I was playing it a couple days ago and thought I must be crazy for not enjoying it.
 
The new hot deal is Skype unlimited world don’t know how that’s different from regular Skype but talk about a let down.

Skype Unlimited World sounds like a niche JRPG, where you video chat with Anime girls to help them level up, and fight monsters.

Played through all of AfterParty and got all the achievements so 2 full play throughs because I hate myself. Yeah I had some really odd performance issues and even a couple nice crash to the dashboard that cost me a ton of time. As far as game play, there is a couple drinking games you can play, but mostly walking and talking. 

 
Haven’t finished it but I actually liked what I played of Afterparty so far. Liked the idea and sense of humor. Maybe I’m weird like that. But perhaps it would wear off its welcome over the full play through.
 
Those Star Wars reviews are not too kind. Then again Star Wars reviews always are suspect since it seems like a good handful always say "BEST STAR WARS MOVIE YET!" So can't wait to see it two weeks after hype has died down!

 
Haven't followed to closely but the couple sites I know that go with the "If you don't like Last Jedi you're an idiot" take, were pretty scathing. I guess I'm hopeful I might like it then.

Someone dug up some scathing fanboy reviews of Empire Strikes Back that were submitted to various publications back in 1980, which is hard to believe 40 years later. Point being, perspectives change over time, and a lot of fans are more sympathetic to the prequels 20 years later. I mostly enjoyed the last two films, so I'll be shocked if I hate the new one, even if I have issues with them. They are basically high-budget fan fiction and I'm okay with that, their existence doesn't make the original trilogy any less good.

Plus, we got Rogue One and the Mandalorian out of it.

Totally agree. People just hate new things and change.

Watched Home Alone for the first time since the 90s last night... and that movie is awesome :)

I'm pretty sure there are no Holiday themed games out there, but are there any that give you all some Holiday nostalgia or something out there?

 
I fired up Untitled Goose Game last night.  It's mildly amusing but didn't really grab me.  I probably won't play it again until there's a Game Pass quest.  But still, I really appreciated the opportunity to try it out, so kudos to MS for bringing a continuous stream of interesting titles to Game Pass.

 
I don't even hate the Last Jedi, but I wasn't high on it.  I do like Mandalorian although I can understand why some people hate that also. 

I can't think of any holiday themed games, but man to many memories of getting games as a kid. Most of the standout stuff was Nintendo, like getting my NES and since they were sold out my mom actually bought the display model from K-mart, and they had left Mike Tyson's Punch Out in there without taking it out before they sold it to her. So that was a nice bonus.

I hope the “vastly different” Forza 8 means a more realistic career mode. I loved the career mode in Project Cars, as you could pick your starting series and earn rides in different classes, which is more true to life than what Forza does.
 
Dead Rising 4 took place during the holidays.
Underrated game, don't get me wrong probably my least favorite of the later ones but I went through some of the DLC not that long ago and had a decent time with it. The original Dead Rising can be so restrictive I almost think it's a different type of game in a way. Kind of sucks that the series seems kind of Dead because a new one of those using the systems capabilities could grab some attention for the Series X launch. The original one was definitely something where i was like "I think I might need to buy this Xbox 360" after seeing it.

Ironically, it's the SNES version of Home Alone that is my Holiday themed video game. Lots of chiptune holiday music to be had.

perhaps odd selections from me but the first kingdom hearts, a pile of the batman games are great for christmas imo, little nemo, left 4 dead has some mods for candy cane guns and levels and stuff

and [SIZE=12pt]oogie's revenge [/SIZE]

 
I saw a headline about RoS "convoluted yet satisfying" and that makes me optimistic. I'm also staying away from any place possibly dangerous this weekend.

Goose doesn't seem deep, but it's fun in a relaxing way.

Batman Returns on the SNES has a lot of holiday imagery.

Die Hard on the NES is technically a Christmas game.

And oh sweet baby Buddha someone else remembers Little Nemo. I was enthralled with that game as a child.

 
And I'm surprised no one decided to post this here...

In short, I still welcome my vertical base console overlords and have no problems. Though I probably will get one 2-3 years after launch if anything...

Also more coming from our Lord.

Definitely looks better standing up, but I'm good with the design either way.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way.
