As a casual player NOT interested in multiplayer aspect of the game, is the Horizon 5 Premium add on bundle worth $39 for single player content? Or should I just get the $17 Hot Wheels add on and call it a day? I am not really sure what all the add on content consist of as I never buy these sorts of things...I barley finish the mainline stories to most games...

As also a casual player for FORZA I’ve found Hotwheels Unleashed to be more fun than the last Forza hot wheels dlc.

Movie for you

 

https://moviesanywhe.../SQMNN28HMDV39P

[TheOldGuy]

For three straight days now I am getting achievements that either are delayed showing up on my daily or flat out don't ever record. For yesterday's 100 point weekly set and the 50-point daily achievement, I got an achievement in death's door and under achievement hunter in the weekly it still shows 0/3 and no matter how many times I click on the daily achievement it never shows up. I have tried restarting the Xbox but nothing is working.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I’m having the same problem

Movie for you

 

https://moviesanywhe.../SQMNN28HMDV39P

Thanks. I picked X-Men first class

[entexman]

I’m having the same problem

I am having issues as well. After popping an achievement I need to do a full shut down on my series X  and wait a bit. Restart Series X and then I can claim 50 rewards points for achievement and get an update to the weekly reward. I only need one more achievement to finish the weekly reward.

 

What a pain! I really hate how inconsistent the rewards are with the Xbox rewards app.

Blade Runner Enhanced Edition is out and only $9.99!

[SIX min WHISTLE]

Instant buy at $10. I wonder why it's cheaper than average, if anything it sounded like it may have taken more effort and resources than their normal porting work.

[p0rn0saur]

got that $5 so probably going to grab it, I remember having a PC that could barely run it almost 30 years ago.... see how the Series X does

Yep same problem for me the last two days. Although it eventually worked a few hours later.

 

Also had an achievement straight bug out on me on Diablo 3 today. Read up that I'll have to fully delete my game data and start fresh to fix the problem as the challenge popped in game. Hopefully they won't have any incentive in D4 for playing a lot of D3.

I’m waiting to hear about how Blade Runner plays with a controller.

I think alienwarearena.com added more dell rewards that you can redeem your arp with. I redeemed all the dell rewards a couple years ago but now they seem to be back. I dont have enough arp to redeem any of them.

Before, the site had arp tiers. Every time you made it to a new tier, you would get a dell reward. Now the tiers are gone and you can spend your arp on stuff including dell rewards.

Do we actually think Ubisoft+ might eventually be part of Game Pass? I mean they recently added AC Origins and Far Cry 5 is coming. Its tempting to buy $5 Watch Dogs 2 or be happy to see Far Cry 6 drop in price more, but playing via Game Pass would be better all around.

They are adding small subsets to both Game Pass and Playstation Plus Premium.  I'm guessing they're just taking money from both for right now.   

 

Eventually they could be part of the others services at some point, but I wouldn't bet on it happening too soon.

PS Premium has Ubisoft+ Classics which is a lot more than what Game Pass has right now. Something I find interesting is that PS Premium is missing the Ubisoft games included in Game Pass so far (Rainbow Six Siege, For Honor, AC Origins, Far Cry 5). I wonder if that is deliberate due to the deals signed. The PlayStation/Ubisoft blog does mention that Ubisoft+ Classics will expand to 50 titles by the end of 2022 though.

 

I don't think Ubisoft+ will come to Game Pass because it is a premium service (since it comes with the latest releases and DLC). I think the move to split the Ubisoft catalog on PS Premium and Game Pass could be a 4D chess move to sell you on Ubisoft+ proper when it comes to consoles. I'm actually very curious if Ubisoft offers their backwards compatible OG Xbox/360 catalog to Game Pass. Been wanting to both Pandora Tomorrow and Double Agent from the OG Xbox.

They announce Ubisoft+ will be on Xbox.  People get rumor crazy during the June showcases.  I think it'll be on it's own for the $15 a month or w/e it is.

I’m waiting to hear about how Blade Runner plays with a controller.

I only downloaded it last night, not going to be able to play for a while today.

For what it's worth, they've been pretty good about controls and options in their past games, but those are all shooters.

You'll probably be fine with the 541 cars (so far) in the base game, so you can just look to the expansions.

 

Spoiler

Here's a breakdown of the bundle :

            MSRP  Sale  Game Pass DLC 10% discount
Bundle       $50   $40  $45
Hot Wheels   $20        $18
Expansion 2   ??
VIP          $20        $18
Car Pass     $30        $27
Welcome Pack  $5        $4.49

Expansions   $35        $31.49
Formula Drift $7        $6.29

Expansions is a bundle of just the 2 expansions, nothing separate.  The Formula Drift pack is also part of the Car Pass.  Based on precedent, and the pricing of the bundles, can expect expansion 2 to also be $20.  So $95 MSRP piecemeal for $50 in a bundle, nearly 50% off.

 

VIP gets you double money from races, 2 weekly super wheelspins, 3 Forza Edition cars, some cosmetics and one of the in-game houses is granted for free (1.5M credits to buy otherwise, doubles Forzathon point payouts from Horizon Arcade).  The free house and extra credits and wheelspins are useful early game.  Play long enough, though, and money doesn't mean much and if you manage to fill up your garage, you can't use spins until you make room.  At least that's what happened in FH4, I assume the same is in FH5.  Haven't gotten there.  Yet.

 

Welcome Pack has 5 pre-tuned cars (one of which I've used quite a bit) and another house granted for free (700k credits to buy, unlocks Horizon Promo).  Also a voucher to redeem for any single car from the autoshow, and some vouchers for cosmetics.

 

Car Pass is 42 total cars (8 in Formula Drift), with 3 cars left to be released.  I don't know offhand how many of the cars I've used, aside from a couple Formula Drift ones.  I haven't cross checked each of the individual car DLCs for the game, but there are a bunch up for $3 each that are in the pass.

 

If you don't care about the extra cars and don't think you'll stick with the game long enough for the extra VIP money and spins to really pile up (and eventually become meaningless), you can probably skip them.  The game still throws quite a bit of money at you, so as long as you don't buy multi-million credit cars from the autoshow out the gate and once you buy the houses for their various perks, you probably won't be hurting for money.

It's a weird feeling remembering just now that the XBox Showcase and every other show thing was last week and I can't think of a damn thing worth looking forward to in the coming months from it.

Not much from the showcase.  The Outriders expansion and Saints Row are the big ones for me because of co-op.  Redfall sounds like fake Far Cry co-op, so I'm even less interested in that.

I Can only remember Calisto Protocol as coming out this year because nearly all the game shows showed something from it and it looks more Dead Space proper. Besides that really the only big news with any immediate effects I can think of was Ninja Turtles on Game Pass because I played it with friends yesterday and that game rules ass.

Hot wheels DLC because I already bought the premium add ons. Otherwise, nothing for me either so I cashed out all my Microsoft reward points for Amazon gift cards.

I think the games presented were interesting and I’m looking forward to most of them. Of what was shown in the showcase, I’m excited most for Persona and especially because 5 will be out in October. The only other game I’m really interested in that’s supposed to come out this year is the Hogwarts game.

I kind of regret buying Watch Dogs 2 on sale, mainly because I won't be playing it any time soon and I already own it on disc, but also because I'm getting a feeling that this is just Ubisoft's way of cashing in before these games come to the service. It's a good game though.

 

I don't see how Ubisoft gets away with charging $15 for Ubi+ when EA Play is just $5 a month for comparable quality of games. I can see Ubisoft getting bought out at some point. EA is already looking for a buyer too.

 

I can see why MS went after Activision but I can see them going right back into acquisition mode right after that deal is done.

With all the legal mumbo jumbo about Microsoft becoming a monopoly in gaming in the US over this Activision deal, I doubt they'll be acquiring any major AAA studios for awhile. Maybe buy a minority stake in a large company or owning small studios really at best, but they can't go full Tencent.

So did A Plague Tale: Requiem have a release date prior to today? Because Game Pass has it for October 18.
