Nice of them to do that just as mine is expiring. 😂😂 Got 36 months of gold last month. At least there's still some saving. Will maybe switch and start using the rewards points in 2 years time.
Found Stray to be very overrated. Was alright as a free game though. Will get the plats for both versions someday. Will not be playing on the Xbox though.
@nomither6 They're awful and don't think they've made a game on their own. Maybe WW2? They were meant to release a game after MW 19. They dropped the ball and Treyarch had to rush and release Cold War. Treyarch then had to split supporting Cold War with also helping them with Vanguard. This year's effort they're being assisted by IW. Though with it having zombies they've probably dragged in Treyarch as well. Only way I'll touch it is if it's free on gamepass.
This is probably the reason the game is so bad. If they've never experienced criticism then any turd will do. Not sure which is worse between this and the other guy being proud redfall. If you make something awful people are going to let you know.
@DionysoZ I have it downloaded already and got a good lot of free space. If I needed the space it'd be gone. Done a few of the things using the cloud. There was 1 that I went to do and it said lots of people were using it so wait time was 15 minutes! So just downloaded it and did something else while waiting.
@TakeItEasy Strange take on Utd, guess would be better if they were in a 1 team league like PSG or Bayern. At least Spain has 2 teams in their league. Utd problem is owners and terrible footballing decisions. On the way up now though. We won something this year and the owners are hopefully going to sell.
Yea there's something strange going on. I got more than 3 achievements today on horizon 5 and it's not working for me as well. The daily points for playing a gamepass game and new one for getting an achievement were not available. AMEM is randomly back.
After playing and surprisingly enjoying power wash simulator the weather is finally good enough for me to do it in real life in the back garden. When I do get on to play. I'll be mostly jumping between COD Cold War and MW2. Hated MW2 on the PS5, gameplay felt so slow. It feels completely different on the series X. Though might just be me.
@TJ81 Yea, I hope they don't stop making consoles. I'm not sure if they could keep the Xbox branding if they don't have an Xbox. I saw it on reddit, was a picture of all the xboxes inside glass boxes and then an empty glass box with a question mark over the top of it. Was a flatter rectangle shape, which seems to be hinting at moving away from the tower design.
@TJ81 Why would they do that? I guess you missed the GDC where they were teasing a new console then. Sony have already refused to have gamepass on their console.
@Titntin OK u really turned off the co-pilot instructions that quickly. 😂 It's one of the random shout outs that's not needed where ur racing. In a few races it's like:
MS turning the tables on Sony after they fought so hard against the Activision purchase. Are Nintendo classed as high end gaming? I wouldn't put them in that bracket myself. To me their consoles main competition seems to be a mobile phone. 😂
Elite series 2 on xbox and dualsense edge on PS. No need for a keyboard and mouse. Use then enough every day in work. Broken PS VR2 in its box on the floor. 🙁
@dsar9012 If you want it, you have to buy it. Or wait until the following year when it'll probably get added to gamepass. If you don't want it you don't have to buy it. If you don't like it you don't have to read a month old article on it.

Re: The Xbox Live Gold To Game Pass 'Conversion Ratio' Has Gotten Worse

Re: Call Of Duty 2023 Reveal Reportedly Coming In August, Zombies Mode To Feature At Launch
@nomither6 Was that what it was, knew there was something they did that affected Cold War. I wish they would break the yearly releases.

Re: Call Of Duty 2023 Reveal Reportedly Coming In August, Zombies Mode To Feature At Launch
Being developed by Sledgehammer. So will be a hard pass. Will wait for Treyarchs next one in 2024. Hopefully it'll be as good as Cold War.
Re: Redfall Dev Reveals Sadness Over 'Mean Spirited' Feedback From Peers

Re: Video: Redfall Xbox Series X Vs. Xbox Series S Vs. PC Comparison
@Kaloudz Yea there was only the 50 points card for redfall. I'd be surprised if before the end of next month there hasn't a weekly challenge for it.
Re: Video: Redfall Xbox Series X Vs. Xbox Series S Vs. PC Comparison
Only keeping it installed because there will probably be a rewards task making u play it.
Re: Redfall Dev Says The Team Is 'Continuing To Improve' The Xbox Title

Re: Talking Point: Would You Leave Xbox Game Pass If Microsoft Removed Its Exclusives?
If they got rid of the day 1 additions then the price would need to be dropped, as it'd be more like PS+ Extra then.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 15-16)
After playing and surprisingly enjoying power wash simulator the weather is finally good enough for me to do it in real life in the back garden. When I do get on to play.

Have a good weekend all!

Re: Microsoft Welcomes Investigation Into Sony's 'Anti-Competitive Tactics' In Japan
@Fenbops Yea, just always seems strange when someone mentions high end gaming and then Nintendo gets thrown into conversation.
Re: Microsoft Welcomes Investigation Into Sony's 'Anti-Competitive Tactics' In Japan
MS turning the tables on Sony after they fought so hard against the Activision purchase. Are Nintendo classed as high end gaming? I wouldn't put them in that bracket myself. To me their consoles main competition seems to be a mobile phone. 😂
