Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is highly rated. Orcs must die and The Escapist 2 are as well. Good haul will gladly take free games. Even if I just demo them on my home entertainment system.

@hbkay Yeah that is why I love it. Try a bunch of games that if I payed full price I might be bitter about. Found a ton of gems that more then make up for the game pass that I pay for with my Microsoft rewards.

Or maybe just wear what you like because there is no reason to have all the cosmetics? You can only wear one "costume" or "armor" at a time.

@mac70 You might have to buy it on another regions store. Not sure, don't quote me but here's the link

@raftos No problem. Takes some tinkering and searching to find this stuff. I mostly just put [title] + xbox in a search engine and the b/c marketplace is one of the top results. Good luck

I only found 2. Make sure you purchase it on a PC because I was trying to get Skate 2 on my phone and it wouldn't go through. Worked perfectly on my laptop.

I got to play Skate 2 for the first time in 10 years with by partners brother over the weekend. We had such a blast from the past. Thanks for the effort and time!

I think Microsoft Rewards is enough and the only real reason I chase achievements. It's nice checking them out and going for a few but I just don't see how getting a digital trophy really means anything. There are already achievement hunters on Xbox. If it helps ease the pain of PlayStation fanatics crossing over into Xbox then I guess I really don't care either way. Just seems a bit pointless to want a digital trophy but maybe they can make them into NFT's and you can visit your VR Salvation Army and collect other people platinum trophies in 10 years for 10 cents.

Yeah I got an email so I could get this bundle through Microsoft. Really tempted to get it for my nephew. Also got an email for an x which I got for a friend who couldn’t get one. He paid.

Platinum Games make really great games but they really don't have any time management over there.

@SplooshDmg I thought 2 and 4 had the most compelling stories in the series. I thought 5 really took the series elsewhere and it was needed and I thought it left us in a great place for another story.

@StonyKL I use my Microsoft reward points to pay for my game pass ultimate every month.

@SplooshDmg That's what my second play through will be. I want to rush the story in a day or two before the memes/spoilers hit the internet. It was hard for me to want to play 4 and 5 because I heard so much negativity surrounding them. Then I played them and cried during 4 and was shocked during 5.

@OldgamerDave I've beaten a lot of them on legendary but I went back over last summer and breezed through all of them just to get the story and get back into sci fi fps. There is still some rough parts.

Definitely going to rush the campaign when it launches to get the story. Then have a replay for the open world experiments. Try and run legendary on coop with 4 of us web slinging around.

@OldgamerDave If you have the time I would play through all of the Master Chief Collection and Halo 5 Guardians just for the story and to get into the pacing and gameplay finesse. If you play it on easy you could probably finish all 6 games in 30-40 hours.

I got an X and an S. Great for my partner and I. Great for multitasking. I kind of want to get all my nephews an S series so I can game with them. Not much difference between the two if you are a kid.

@SplooshDmg I just got the 923. I have to relearn the whole game over again. Really great just driving around though. Lost a few hours.

You get 6 months to complete the battle pass. I've gotten 5 levels just from playing

@SplooshDmg Definitely agree with this. I just brought all my volumes up and the voice volume is about 60%. I got in a huge argument with my best friend yesterday over the halo season progression. He jumped on the reddit hive mind and I've been playing 3-4 hours a day. He hasn't even played but was complaining about the slow progression. It all baffles me. It's an open world racing game. People are playing this for the dialogue?

Can be a ton of fun and in the next match it can be extremely infuriating. I think the maps being huge is great. Need to find a balance with the vehicles and maybe not have late level unlocks be extremely important in taking down said vehicles. Like anti tank mines. Excited to see where they take it. The structure is solid.

I can’t believe sea of thieves isn’t nominated for ongoing game. With season passes, the pirates of the Caribbean content and underwater dungeons.

I use youtube a lot and never have I ever gotten premium. Guess I'll see what all the fuss is about.

Excited to try Exo One with the Phillip Hue light system.

@anoyonmus I just think there is a lot of brand loyalty which is understandable. I felt burned by the PS4 so I went back to Xbox. Game pass was enticing and very little I was interested in was coming to the ps5.

@BlueOcean I try not to pc game. My laptop was made to music/ video edit and that’s about it. It can game but nothing beats consoles for me personally. Plug it into the huge tv in the living room or use my spare 36 inch if I want to watch something and game. Or set up my s and we can couch coop. Lugging around computers isn’t fun and very bad for the internals.

@SplooshDmg Yeah I was playing with my best bud last night. Nothing is better then getting in a warthog and taking flags. Just pure fun. So many laughs, close calls, and rag doll deaths.

Needs to be a lot more cooperation between all the people that love to game. If we all came together we could change the WORLD.

Bethesda games aren't exclusive because they are all coming to pc day one. Just get a PC or an X/S. We've all made sacrifices.

Halo is amazing. I didn't even know about leveling and I understand the progression very little besides just doing challenges. The gameplay is amazing. The maps are amazing. Gunplay is great. I guess leveling would be cool but I don't see how it's that important. Game is fun and had me and my mates laughing and playing together.

Man it’s great. Gunplay feels tight. Exploration is fun. The maps are well balanced. What a gift.

Good for Xbox to do this. Really irks me that people complain about not getting their game on the list. No other publisher is doing this and Microsoft is doing it for games they didn't even publish.

@Kingleo31 I too was emotional. When they were showing people meet up with their online friends really got to me. Games for me are all about friends, family and community and Xbox highlighted this really well. The BC games were great. I'm super excited for Skate 2. The Infine multiplayer drop, although spoiled, was still amazing to see the whole team at 343 there celebrating. Xbox has really done a great job at showing the love the developers have towards gaming. Here is to another 20+.

I’ve seen so many people ask for max payne, doa and fear. What a list. I’ll be on skate 2!

@Krzzystuff Exactly. I really liked when she talked about the gunk and how her daughter responded to that game. Corporate execs can be fine if they act human.

I'd enjoy a sim, slow paced fps to mix in with halo and bf2042. Something like counter strike or Americas Army. Objective based, one death, friendly fire, tactical.

Sarah Bond seems very passionate and really hits her interviews out of the park.

@Damjam Pretty sure all six of these games are on Playstation. Luckily I got to play them all for a low price of GPU. I love games.

360 was great. This generation with game pass and all the backwards comparability and fps boosts and quick resume and load times. This is the future of gaming and it’s been amazing.

Will definitely be trying this out.

HYPE TRAIN CHOOO CHOOO.

If they ended the event for their anniversary with a halo shadow drop that would be a huge shock.

Yeah we would have a lot of fun playing this.

Can't wait. Going to rush through the campaign so I can get the story. Then replay this a lot especially with coop.

Waited in line for eight hours to get mine and have no regrets. I love being a part of the xbox ecosystem. Have had a lot of fun replaying all the halos, playing xbox one games I never could play, and dozens of games on game pass. I'm really satisfied.

@Snake_V5 Pretty sure you meant to say Nintendo.

Would be cool on camping trips or long weeks fishing with family. Did tons of gaming with my cousins on way worse set ups. The keyboard and mouse is huge. Tons of hope for this.

Yeah my partner and I love to play this and create the story with what she has. Really clever game and looks beautiful.

@themightyant Yeah FH5 30 FPS is so good. I haven't even tried performance because I haven't run into any issues on 30 FPS. As long as frame rates are locked at 30 or 60 and it's a hard lock that never wavers, that's what I care about. I like the two options too.

I've been playing since Thursday afternoon. Game is great. Easy to get lost in.

LETS GO. IM HYPED. Even if it's more xbox shoes I'll be giddy.
