How do you boycott something that's not even coming? And you basically just said you're not going to buy them because you already pirated them, which at least is more honest than most pirates who say they pirate to try, and if a game is good, they'll pay for it.

I would have considered them during a sale for Xbox, or played them on Game Pass so they lost a potential sale/revenue by exclusion. I won't go out of my way to get it on PS5, hence boycott.

High on Life is pretty fun so far, 30 minutes in.

Checking emails and saw three from MS for purchases. I freaked out thinking someone hacked my xbox but they were for the free GP Perks I redeemed. Phew. When did MS start sending emails for GP Perks redemptions?

The Masterpiece figure from 2015 (didn't think it was already 7 years ago) was just Star Saber. The HasLab was both Star Saber (new, smaller mold compared to the Masterpiece) and Victory Leo, hence Victory Saber. When it was revealed, there were some gripes about doing Star Saber a second time. Lisa Simpson tried to get in my way, but I yelled, "But he's got a new lion!" and backed it.

I wasn’t paying enough attention when I saw looked at the other Haslab stuff after seeing Deszaras. All I saw was Star Saber and didn’t scroll down enough to see Victory Leo. I like that they’re a smaller so they’re more adjustable and less clunky. Of all the Transformers I don’t have, Star Saber, Deszaras, Victory Leo and Overlord are the only ones I wish I had. Just don’t have the disposable income for them. Thanks for the video.

I'm eager to beat Persona 5 mostly because it's throwing off my sense of timing. It's a damn dry Winter here so it feels nothing like December and the time frame I'm at in the game is in November so I keep thinking it's November in real life as well. On the plus side, looks like I got my unofficial Christmas game.

I saw that happen the last time I redeemed some perks from the PC app (a week or 2 ago?), but didn't see them last time I did from Xbox (a month or more ago).  Maybe that's a factor?  If not, then it seems like the answer might be "Within the past couple months" :P

Just a heads up that I would guess we'll see the New Year sale start next week around the 22nd.  Last year it started on the 23rd.  Don't remember if there was a punch card or not.  Fingers crossed for Ace Combat Maverick Edition for $20

The XBox App on phones and tablets now have their own Rewards quest and daily login rewards. Basically each day you get 5 reward points and each day an additional 5 points get added so it seems you can get up to 25 points by the fifth day. There's also a quest for playing Jewel on mobile and playing a PC game for points.

 

Also if you have 7 or more friends subscribed to Game Pass you get bonus reward points.

I have the Android Xbox app on both phone and tablet and don't see anything, and have the latest version of the apps.  Where are the quests?

Its so easy to get the Auto redeem $10 every month, between that and Gamestop $5 or $10 sets me up for some free cheap games that go on sale.

I Went to my profile (the very last one with your gamerpic) and below profile info and the option to appear offline there should be a tab that says "REWARDS" where it should hopefully be there. If not try closing the app and reopening because I'm pretty sure earlier today I opened it and it didn't show, but later in the day it told me I had started my daily streak. I'm also on Android on my Samsung S10 if that makes any difference.

I'm on Android also and don't see this yet.  I wonder if this is targeted in some way.

 

I've been using the Beta version of the app and I just downloaded and checked the regular version of the app too.

Under the "appear offline" button, I just have Posts, Achievements and About.  Both phone and tablet have version 2212.1.2.  Restarted the app, tried clearing cache.  No go.

Thanks for the heads up. I never even bother with the app. I use an iPhone

Get your hard drives ready! The Witcher 3 next gen update should be out at 7 EST.

I got the same version. Odd. So maybe it's selected... Or this is their way of apologizing for never giving me the random free $5 by making me work to earn 50 whole cents

[bee01]

The extra rewards in the Xbox app has been a thing for a long time now, for other regions.  I see it on my iPhone now.

I have it, here's what it looks like:

Thanks to who brought this up!

So first day one Xbox app rewards netted:

5 points for logging in
15 points for having 7 friends
15 points for having Game Pass
30 points for clearing one level of Jewel in the app
50 points for playing a PC game (just loading Age of Empires II from PC Game Pass)

To paraphrase Randy Moss, straight space bucks, homey!

I shouldn't have traded in my Witcher 3 thinking I will buy it digital after new gen update. The deal price is now $29.99. FML

[gorgo]

Witcher 3 GOTY has been $10 so many times… I’m sure it will be again soon.

I ended up picking it up and it's been fun. Definitely feels like $20 or $30 is an ideal full price cost and not the original $60. Don't really care about any cosmetics given away for free but the songs in the diamond shop are a nice addition. Wish they made events 1 day long instead of a week for the 2 longer achievements but at the end of the day that doesn't really matter.

[bardockkun]

And for those who got the XBox app with added rewards quests, Solitaire Collection on the PC does count for the "Play a PC Game" quest and I think you get a bonus if you have the link social account, Game Pass member and 7+ friends goals checked off.

 

Also...

 

 

Atlus does what Square don't. Or whatever. Regardless if $20 I guess this will go alongside Okami in games I just keep buying repeatedly.

Witcher 3 wants 53 GB for the update. 

 

I think the system has issues with updates to Series games when they aren't on the internal or expansion card.  When I had a space crunch a couple weeks ago, I moved Doom Eternal to my 4 TB external, but the console kept claiming there was an update and tried redownloading to the internal.  Don't know if it was because there's some kind of add-on that it said didn't need to be downloaded (a GPU perk I think).  I just uninstalled it.

 

With Witcher 3, the console says I have it on 2 drives - 61.8 GB on the internal and 40 GB on the 4 TB external.  I don't remember when that could have happened, if an update after moving to the 4 TB external reinstalled it on the internal.  If I'd have to download 53 GB anyway, I may as well uninstall it until I ever think I'll play it.

 

Anyone know if there's a way to search for games installed on multiple drives?  Or across, in the case of a base game on one drive and DLC on another?

I get the feeling it's probably going to be gone for a couple months, rake in the Christmas money from people getting new consoles.

Does buying games from other locations still work now or has that loophole been closed?

Working for now.

 

Prime Gaming is giving away some PC NeoGeo games (again) and SNK 40th Anniversary Collection later this month.

 

[Strider Turbulence EX]

Yeah, if anyone wants to brave the region thing, you can get Witcher 3 Next Gen codes for $2.99.

 

I haven't played Witcher 3 since like 2016 or 2017 and I was right at the end of the game, last section before the final boss I think. I guess I should just start over in any case. I wasn't too thrilled with this game the first time around  even though I loved Witcher 2.

[bardockkun]

I Bought an ACA Neo Geo game from Gameflip yesterday and it came in today from Argentina and was able to get get the code working no problem.
