My son is having issues with his searches. He can only do a few at a time and they stop. He then needs to come back about an hour later and they start again. Don't know if this is future of it all.
My current 174 week streak means no extra points when it ends. Will keep doing whatever comes next. Points are points and I've not had to pay for Game Pass for 3 years now (and good till 2027.)
I bought the point and click games on my deck the other day. Can't wait for this. Even though I've got ultimate for the next 3 years I might actually buy this.
@Beetlebum91 I know. This morning I spent 20 mins searching breeds of dogs because Microsoft have introduced AI in searches so my random crap search doesn't work... I need my mornings back. Got 3 years of ultimate still so happy.
My OCD keeps me going every day no longer what points I can get. If they stopped it I might be able to take a s**t in the morning without searching or doing a quiz. Still love it.
When I saw this on the Direct my first thought was what system to buy it on. Xbox because of my vast collection and have all the 360 games and new trilogy on it or switch because portability... don't want to double dip on this.
Operation was straight forward. Have had removal of (thankfully) non cancerous tumor and some biopsies done. Pain after is awful. God bless the NHS though. Staff were amazing but struggling under pressure. Got recovery now. 2 to 3 weeks. Although may work from home if feeling better. Joys of passing blood out of orifices that shouldn't and peeing razor blades. Co-codamol, plenty of water, rest, movies and videos games. Do need to thank Nintendo for kindly putting out a Direct on my first day off as well. My Xbox backlog is into hundreds, plus switch (cracked open Zelda) and may dust off my PS5.
Getting banned in a mass ban wave after buying an Xbox elite second hand from gamestation, after about half an hour of playing. Seriously Left 4 dead 2. Possibly the most fun I've had on Live. Co-op at its best.
@Cashews Great game. Had 2 weeks off work after a rather nasty biopsy and it kept me amused in between pain relief and sleep. Still installed and me and my son play it regularly.
@SBandy1 I must be a developers wet dream then as I have loads of games either not loaded or just played once. I keep telling myself I will eventually get round to playing them...
Glad I payed out for it even when it is on Game Pass. One of the few games I've done that with. Worth it. Me, my wife and son enjoy this. Got the old man playing a few weeks back with us and took me back to playing the arcade game at our local bowling alley when I was a kid. 42 years old and got a cool 75 year old dad.
Have an external 8tb I swap games between but would love one of these. At the right price. Been looking at 2tb for my PS5 for less than a 1tb Xbox card.
@Kaloudz @LoquaciousB Same with me. My son was made up by it as well. My dad... He didn't even notice, but then again he just goes into auto pilot and mainly likes the daily quizzes for rewards.
Remember being so hyped at the idea of a remake. Then seeing the gameplay trailer and wishing I hadn't. Take as much time with it. Just don't let it become the abomination it was before.
Some of these replies take me back to being in the playground in the 90s with kids shouting about SEGA and Nintendo. Can't people be happy about great games being released (Late night last night playing Zelda.) I have all the current gen consoles thanks to a retro console clear out and some very aggressive ebay bidders. Used my Microsoft reward points to buy a cheap PSVR. I have enough games to last me several life times on my Xbox, switch and PlayStation consoles. I'm happy just enjoying gaming. I'm excited to see what's next for Xbox. Looking forward to the "Not E3" Nintendo direct. Possibly Spiderman 2 on PS5. Xbox will be fine. They have some amazing studios to produce games and we will start seeing the fruits of their labor soon. People really just need to chill.
Living in the UK they should know that cloud gaming needs a good internet infrastructure, that we haven't got. Honestly seems a crock. Let's hope Europe and US can get this through.
@FraserG I can confirm skylines points as 250 not 25. Think Microsoft rewards team are having a bit of a mare at the moment. Can also confirm no points for res evil 4 purchase. Will see if that changes tomorrow before messaging customer services again.
I will get my 999 day badge in August this year hopefully. Just bought an Xbox wireless headset with points. Last purchase with points was Argos vouchers to buy a psvr. Have 3 years worth of ultimate. My son gets his robux every month and my dad gets Tesco vouchers at the end of the year for his Christmas shop. It's an amazing program.
Blue Dragon is also on the UK list of games going as well. Plus a load assassin's creed games. Check your region as may be more going. https://photos.app.goo.gl/28E8K14MrHFLxAsB8
I'm one of those people who is getting strongly against games being announced way too early. I'm looking forward to this but for it only to be in a concept stage is going to an age away.
@Dr_Luigi My son's grandparents wanted to get him a series s this week (father in-law is end of life and spoiling the family as says he can't take it with him.) Me and my wife discussed the pros and cons together. Disc drive, more storage and a bit more future proofed we put the extra £200 for a series X. Still think the series s has its place but now you can walk into a shop and pick up a series X no problem it's getting less appealing.
I've had 2 bans in my life, one on Xbox and one on Playstation. Xbox ban was due to buying a second hand 360 from GAME and had a ban a couple of days later for reasons unknown but linked to the console (was never told by Microsoft but was a console ban. Luckily was under warranty.) The second was my own stupid fault. Hacked an old PS3 to use as a multi region Blu ray/DVD player to watch of all things an American box set of Malcolm in the middle (that I still have) and stupidity left my profile on it. Jumped on my PS4 to find a lovely account ban and all my digital games lost. Well worth the £2.50 I bought the box set for from a charity shop. Since this I've had nothing thankfully.
