@MyThoughts31 You are a wild one I must say. I'm very positive kids getting a series x is the reason so many adults can't get one haha. Sure. Have a good one
@FraserG you have my friend pedro listed only under console and pc, does that mean it'll remain on game pass through xcloud? It just recently got added on there.
Thank you guys for everything. My daily early morning work routine consists of logging into my computer, checking pure xbox, and then checking the status of my patients lol
Alright @FraserG I have a question for you since you love Walking Dead and I'm sure you played this a long time ago but perhaps you remember something that can help me. I am stuck on episode 4 of season 1. I am at the school and I have just collected the 2nd and 3rd videotapes, 1 from the Dr. who is now a walker and 1 from his locker. I know I need to get back into the Nurses room to watch those tapes but the door doesn't give me then option to open it. I'm thinking I need to do 1 more thing maybe before it becomes available for me to open but I don't know what I need to do. Do you recall anything from this episode?
I need to finish RE7 but probably won't get to this weekend. Still looking to give it some time though along with a bit of FIFA and NHL 94 Rewind. Also, I want to try and dive into some Injustice 2 as I just got the Legendary Edition. Never cared for it too much but I got it for cheap and I've always been a Batman and Ninja Turtles fan so it should be fun.
@Dijita I can't speak for all Xbox controllers but I have had the original Xbox One controller for 7 years now and yes it's a tad bit noisy. Maybe the newer models and the Elite controllers aren't but I wouldn't know. I have the same issue with my controller so I always try to muffle the sound by placing my hands and controller under the blanket if I'm up playing early in the morning or late at night when my gf is asleep.
It was a bit annoying that it was a PS exclusive but definitely not the worst thing. KI was so much better and more fun to me. That's what Xbox needs, a new KI! SF VI on Xbox would be welcomed though.
RE7, Gears 1 Ultimate Edition, Walking Dead Season 1, and maybe a bit of FIFA. RE7 is quite interesting so far, I'll save my thoughts for when I've had more time with it and post that in our Pure Xbox game pass club thread. Playing through Gears 1 again just because I hadn't played the Ultimate edition yet. Walking Dead is awesome so far! Didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I am, especially since I've never watched a single episode of the actual show but I got into Tell Tale games after playing through The Wolf Among Us.
Fortunately my experience was smooth sailing. I picked my X up from Best Buy during my lunch break with no issues at all. It was quick, calm, and easy. I didn't want to have mine shipped and risk it getting to me late or not even getting to me at all.
I haven't played any but did download these awhile back along with the Dead Space and Crysis games when I got my EA subscription. One day I will finally get to them, one day..
@YBI that's what I want to know! I'm ready for more but I guess they've worked so hard on testing that it might be a little while before they start up again.
Question for those have played them, looking for an opinion or recommendation for these games: mad max 7 days to live ghostbusters remastered infliction the walking dead telltale series zombieland double tap OG star wars battlefront 1 and 2 OG star wars jedi starfighter OG star wars old republic star wars force unleashed @FraserG or anyone? I would appreciate it
@carlos82 haven't done the math yet because I'm at work but I'm sure I'll be spending around that same amount later today when I go through the sale in full.
This is a great sale for me! Some games are super cheap but with the amount of them that I'll be purchasing looks like I'll still rack up a good amount of $. Can't complain!
Finished Batman Telltale last night. Will probably spend the rest of the weekend playing UFC 4 and Destroy All Humans. I'd like to finish RE7 but I have so much work to do that I probably won't get around to that until next week.
I don't think this shade of green is new. They actually have been using this different shade of green for the Xbox beta app for awhile now. It's a black background with the sphere shaded with this different green.
Not really anything here for me. I would like to finish Wolfenstein but I can probably wait on the Series X upgrade plus it should be coming to Game Pass.
I have owned 6 Xbox consoles in total. I started off with the original Xbox and then got the original 360 model. I had to replace that one with another white 360 model due to the RROD. I followed that up with the 360 slim version. I got the Xbox One on launch day and sold that one to get a Project Scorpio edition when that came out. I have my Series X pre ordered so this one will be my 7th Xbox console! I love it!
For me it has to be Killer Instinct. I waited for that game to make a comeback for what seemed like a century. The originals hold a special place in my heart. It got teased many times over the years prior to being announced and I vividly remember the announcement during E3. I jumped up and started yelling!
I just finished The Wolf Among Us last night. I plan on giving it a quick and short revisit just to grab 3 achievements that I missed to get that 1000 gamerscore. Then I will jump back into Hellblade.
sounds great! I actually just bought this game a few months ago. I made it through a few chapters of the campaign. I'll go ahead and wait to dive back in once the Series comes out.
Never been a Mileena fan nor am I impressed with these 80s action movie guest karacters. Although I will say Rain koming back is awesome! I just hope Ermac and Reptile make it in as well!
@Somberpizza I have yet to play Eternal but I will say that 2016 is fun as Hell so I would give it a go anyways. Unless you want to wait and see if 2016 ever comes back to game pass later on.
I plan on taking launch day off and heading to my local store to pick my X up as soon as they open their doors. As to what I will be playing 1st, I have no idea yet, Gears 5 maybe. I'll see as the time get closer. I will miss the excitement and hype of lining up at midnight for launch or any crazy launch gatherings though. Gathering with friends and other fellow Xbox fans is an awesome experience.
As is @LtSarge , I will be playing some Hellblade with the Game Pass Club. Will try to get some action in on Doom 2016 as well so I can finish that by Oct. 1st. I'm contemplating getting Forza Horizon 3. I'm not the biggest racing game fan but I've heard nothing but good things about it along with the Hot Wheels DLC. I'm just not sure if I should just say to heck with it and play FH4 with Game Pass instead.
I ended up preordering from Best Buy. It was actually my last option but they came through for me after a disappointing 3.5 hours on Target, MS, and Gamestop. I decided to go for the option to pick it up myself on day 1 instead of having it delivered so hopefully I won't have any trouble. I plan on requesting that day off from work because I want to be there as soon as those doors open in case they somehow miscalculate and don't have enough in stock for everyone who did manage to preorder!
@Tharsman I bought a few wolfenstein games and doom 2016 recently. Decided to hold back on doom eternal bc at the moment I didn't want to spend more than $20 on one game alone. So I kind of know what you mean on the feeling foolish part.
Any splinter cell game, geometry wars, infinite warfare, shadow warrior 1, dead to rights. @Dpullam Wildlands would be great! I tried the demo and it was pretty good. Just haven't gotten around to buying it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (Oct 17th)
@Nightcrawler71 i tried it as well but was not a fan. I was really hoping to like it. I miss Top Spin.
