Anyone have a link to like the gamepass conversions? Like 3 months of gold gives you X gamepass and so on

Damn why isn't Stranger of Paradise the final fantasy origins game on sale for Black Friday. That was one of the few games on my list I was hoping to pick up

Does anyone here need another follower/friend for the Xbox Ambassador mission? For some removing and re-adding existing friends doesn't work anymore...or maybe I'm doing it wrong this time around. I need two more! Thanks in advance!

I don't need one, but you can add me if you haven't already.

I do the Xbox Ambassador stuff so you can send your GG messages or whatever too.

Might be the first time in a long time I pick up a couple physical games with Sonic Frontier $30 at Walmart on Monday and Stranger of Paradise $30 at Best Buy. Feel like it's a risk on both of those games and at least I might get a few bucks back if I bail on them. There isn't really anything else out there grabbing me, even on other quiet years I had a Jedi Fallen Order or a Control. Still have Calisto Protocol out there, seems like were so close it's not going to hit a delay...

You can't travel there to shop.  You have to have somebody send you a post card.

 

I finished the Deer Simulator game, mostly out of spite by the end.  I played Fight Club on Xbox afterwards as a palate cleanser.

I don't know what this means. Is it a joke?

It means you have to get a code from someone who is there. You can’t just change the region on your console and buy it yourself. That’s why there’s been so much chatter lately about whether MS was allowing gift code purchases in Argentina anymore or not. People have been trying to figure out if this loophole is still open or not

Oh okay. The website just stated you would probably need a VPN so I was asking here.

Stanger of Paradise is better if you have someone to play with.  It's a mindless hack n slash with super cheesy characters.  When you beat the game and/if you try the DLC, you need a good built and a ton of grind to get anywhere.  There isn't much to it before the endgame.  I had fun with it though.

Sonic Frontiers is much better than the reviews IMO. Easily my favorite 3D Sonic. I’ve been having a blast with it. Don’t think it’s much of a risk to me.

Callisto Protocol is already Gold so there definitely won’t be a delay.

I decided to just force myself to 100% it today and God, that game makes me feel like Luke Wilson in Idiocracy when he went to go see a screening of "ASS The Movie" except I feel more angry than I do confused.

A guest host on What's Good Games spoke highly of Sonic Frontiers, basically said that on a technical level, it's a 3/5, but in terms of fun, it was a 5/5. I'll probably play it eventually.

 

Also - about two weeks ago, Callisto Protocol had a 10% preorder discount on XBL, but no longer does. $62 combined with rewards redemption sounded pretty good to me, but the discount is no longer showing.

I just did a vpn today to redeem a gameflip Argentina code. So you should still be able to do that.

Ooh nice price! I’d bite if it was digital. I’ll use my $10 Xbux at the end of the month to make it happen.

I Decided to try the Playstation Loyalty program thing this weekend. Goddamn. That thing fucking sucks. When friggin Nintendo's program actually makes more sense and has better benefits and isn't accessible via only a fucking app (despite only way to earn...whatever their point based system is, is by using their console) then you should rethink everything.

TunnelBear worked fine for me. They give 500mb free per month, which is obviously more than enough to just redeem codes.

Someone else here recommended the one I'm using - Urban VPN. They give you 100mb daily.

I’m on the fence too. It’s a good deal but I don’t see myself playing it that soon, and I have so many MS reward points and credit for a future sale

A Sonic game being mediocre instead of a dumpster fire has become a celebration of sorts. 30 is probably a fair price that we won't see for a while.

As I mentioned earlier, I absolutely love the new Sonic and think it’s the best 3D Sonic I’ve played. Yes it has some technical hiccups but it’s underrated and far from mediocre IMO.

I bought it at Target and just priced match Amazon to get it for $29. "Best 3d Sonic" is not a high bar to hurdle though. The technical issues seem to be a real issue and I am hoping those can get resolved with a patch soon. For $29 it is worth me playing and finding out if it is fun or not though.

Seconded. It’s repetitive, the pop-in is crazy, and the controls are sometimes frustrating, but the loop (pun sorta intended) is addictive and finding new ways to bounce around and above these islands is fun. Probably helps that I haven’t played a Sonic game in years, so even the “stale” parts feel fresh enough.

(As far as I’ve experienced, the “technical hiccups” are pop-in. As long as you play on a Series X or PS5 everything else looks and runs great.)

Ordered it from Amazon since Walmart decided to lock the deal behind Walmart+ and do it too late. Thanks, all.

For the purchase $50 of games or movies to get 2500 points, can those be paid for with a gift card applied to my account, or would it need to be straight purchases?
