Microsoft Xbox Discussion Part II

>calls far cry 6, which is another copy and pasted ubisoft title great.

>Calls GotG "meh" and its gameplay bad

I already knew dolemite had shitty taste but now I have my proof

That response shows me how few games you play.

Far Cry 6 is anything but a cut and paste.
Anyone who says it’s cut and paste are sheeple who base their opinions on press reviews.

It’s WAY better than the last four releases combined. They refreshed the story and grinding across the board. The story presentation is new and really fun. The ending could have been better but it’s awesome. The FC3 DLC is very deathloop like and I love it. The special Ops missions are challenging outside the first mission.

GOTG’s story is awesome. Many of the mechanics were very poorly presented and executed in the intro/learning stage.

I don’t think Far Cry 6 was a copy and paste this year. The “core” of the game maybe is the same but I don’t think they should deviate from that too much.

Game added a lot of new things to do that were enjoyable and fun, I enjoyed it. They changed up a lot of the old mechanics as well.

Anyone else get 5 dollars added to their store wallet?

Series S is available pretty much everywhere right now.

Microsoft is offering Xbox Series X bundles direct to "valued customers"

Check your Gamertag mailboxes for Series X offers

Lmao so mad at myself for waiting to get a Series X.

So many opportunities in the past to get one (couldve had one so easily by now) but I was undecided on whether I needed/wanted to upgrade from the One X, especially cause I have a PS5 already so I never bought one.

But 2022 is a big year for Xbox gaming and its really starting this month with Halo and I don't wanna be stuck on my One X playing it. Also just really wanna explore some games I'd rather not buy that gamepass has, but I wanna play them on the Series X obviously lol

Tough luck. Bad time to try and get one too. Really bad time. I even had a shot at a Halo Xbox and didn't do it cause I didn't know if I wanted it or not lol

The Halo X is available from the Xbox console store.

 

[aleshemsky83]

The series S has been available everywhere for like a year. They made a smart choice cheaping out on the GPU. They've had them in stock for a long time.

I feel it was hard to get for like the first 4 or so months. But, yeah, at least in Canada they are always in stock on one of Amazon, Best Buy or Wal-Mart. Seems scalpers have completely abandoned buying them up. Whereas they are still all in on PS5, Series X and to a less extent the Switch Oled.

Yeah, they have not been in stock around here until recently in terms of the Series S. I really hope at some point a huge inventory drops and the scalpers get screwed or people are not willing to buy at crazy prices.

Go to Stock X, it's a legit site and could help you procure one.

That's where I got my PS5. It's a good site. You pay a ton for it but it's legit.

My friend got the Halo X like three weeks ago and it was still three to four hundred dollars cheaper than what you're finding on Ebay (and potentially Walmart). He paid - at most - two hundred bucks more, but if you consider the supply chain shortage, I think it was worth it.

 

[Kcb12345]

Finally was able to get a Series X tonight (after only a few weeks of looking, but still, this was wayy harder than the PS5 to get - mainly cause of that stupid xbox all access thing and that some places only sell them in stores)

I picked it up from Target. My local Target had 10 in stock early this morning after I stayed up literally all night to try and get one from Target online lol (only available in stores w/out Xbox AA)

Did you or do you already have Game Pass? Some great stuff on there right now with the new Halo out next week

I have a Xbox One X atm but haven't renewed my game pass in like a year cause I was waiting to get a Series X for the best experience with everything.

So today I will be renewing my game pass subscription

Any recommendations on lesser known but great games to play on there right now? I haven't checked its library in ages but yeah I'm stoked for Halo. Prime reason I wanted the Series X, and of course the Bethesda acquisition helps

Forza Horizon 5 has been quite enjoyable, and I am not really a Forza/Racing game guy

Psychonauts 2 was added fairly recently, haven't played it but its gotten good reviews

Left4Dead is kinda meh, maybe better online

Oh right, Forza is something I'm looking forward to. Don't think I've ever played a racing game really as it's not my thing either, but that's the perfect example of why I love game pass lol you can try things out with no harm done.

Also I believe you mean Back 4 Blood? I played the beta on PS5 but didn't really know how to feel...another good example of why game pass is great lol

I'll have to try Psychonauts 2, I've heard a lot about it as well. Believe it got nominated for GOTY

Also will be trying Hades if it's still on there. So many people talk about it but I'm not sure if it's something I'll like

Yeah sorry Left4Dead was the good version, or the original version at least

Forza is unlike any racing game I’ve ever played. It’s really fun.

Back 4 Blood dropped off the map before the developers realized that it was too hard and will be making it not so hard. That and you have to play co op to get the most out of it. They really screwed over the single player with this game.

Psychonauts 2 and Hades are just plain fun!

Getting rid of the multiplayer (left 4 deads) was a bad move as well.

If it's not too late for this, stock up on Live Gold (max 36 months) and then buy one month of Ultimate Game Pass, the Live Gold will convert into UGP.

Does this work if your subscription for game pass ultimate runs out. Or is it only for new subscribers? My gamepsss ultimate is about to run out on the 17th and was wondering if I could do the Gold upgrade again.

It worked for me last time, I let mine lapse for a few months before I got my Series X, and I was able to restart with Live, and then convert over, but that was close to a year ago
