I still have this on Gamecube. Love it still to this day.

So that means Australia will get $20-$30 gift cards, yea?!

😉

Yep, I'm buying one.

The only punch card I'm seeing is the Top 10 which took a few road races in Forza Horizon 4 to get an achievement. So that's that one done.

I really liked The Medium and finished it for the second time a day ago just to get the last two achievements I missed first time around.

I think they have much promise and really look forward to their next game. I also don't get the hate their currently receiving, seems to have sprung up since they released The Medium.

I have this downloaded and waiting to be played. I might as well wait for the update, hopefully it doesn't leave game pass before that happens.

Hmm... This has me wanting a AAA first person mountain climbing simulator now.

The Nier one still won't pop for me. I guess I'll have to complete the second half of the quest.

Got mine the other day. Easy to setup and sounds good, though I haven't tried Dolby Atmos yet. But I did have a connection issue within the first hour. My Series X disconnected the headphones and the controller, and the bluetooth sync button on the xbox completely stopped working so I couldn't reconnect them. I had to turn the power off but then it wouldn't turn back on. So I unplugged the power cord for a few hours and that seems to have done the trick. I don't know man, I'm beginning to have more problems with it.

No. It is time to stack.

I don't have much gaming time this weekend but what I do have will most likely spent playing THE OUTER WORLDS

Got mine preordered as well.

@InterceptorAlpha ouch.

But I should say I've had to start game updates manually, when I see they have one.

The console updates are automatic.

Cool. I need to gat back to my second playthrough and get the last two achievements.

I started this, I'm about to reach the police station, so not that far in. But I've stopped and haven't gone back in a while. I do want to finish it... But I'm have trouble caring about the narrative. I guess I just don't care about trans issues and it is actually a turn off.

Shame, as I really do like these sort of games.

@InterceptorAlpha can't say I've had that problem.... Until now.

I decided to turn the X on now and see if it would work. It did. Just had to resync the controller. So I checked to see if it updated overnight. It didn't, even though it checked for one at 3am. Weird, never had a problem with automatic updates before. So I started the update. Everything going well until I got an Error Code: E100 00000703 80910002 and had to restart the console. Once back on it finished the update and seems to be working fine now.

I wonder if it got stuck in some kind of update loop last night and that was why it was hot as hell this morning?

But a part from one or two hard restarts I've had to do since I got it, one having to do with the controller, this was the worst experience I've had with it so far. It has been pretty smooth sailing otherwise.

Went to turn on my Series X this morning with the controller. Wouldn't turn on but the controller light was on. So got up and turned it on manually. The xbox light was on but no picture on the tv. Then I noticed the xbox was pretty damn hot, hotter than when I've been playing all day. Hot. So I unplugged the power cord and haven't tried it again yet. I wonder if it had anything to do with the update, because I do have it on always on.

Dirt 5 already downloaded.

Today I've played State of Decay 2 for the monthly reward quest. I ended up playing for a few hours and enjoyed it enough I got 20 achievements before taking out the two plague hearts.
Also started Tell Me Why.

Tomorrow... I'm not too sure. Oh, I know, the Guilty Gear Strive open beta, gotta give that a try.

Working now.

I started to play Carrion and it didn't pop the daily Game Pass quest either. But as soon as I unlocked an in-game achievement it triggered the weekly achievement quest, plus the others, including the Control one. Weird.

Yeah, the playing the daily Game Pass game and starting Control quests ain't popping for me. Logging into the mobile app and download 5 games by app did pop for me though.

Cool. I need a decent pair of wireless headphones for the Series X.

Started a second run to pick up the last two achievements that I missed somehow, I was pretty thorough the first time. Great game.

That looks so much better. Not a fan of the current one. Knowing what's in Quick Resume would be most helpful. Being less cluttered and featuring wonderful wallpapers that change with the game tiles (yes, like the PS5) or permanent themes would be great. And a 4K UI, having it change back and forth all the time is awful.

Vault. Locking up the IP since 2021.

I'm so ready for this! One of my most anticipated games this gen so far, and I only just played Hellblade for the first time after picking up my Series X. Hopefully they expand the game play as much as they have the graphics.

I had a good chuckle at this article, then checked my gamerscore. It ends in an 8. Now I'm pacing the room, sweating bullets, and hearing voices beckoning me into the well.

@ViolentD78 yes, that fixed it. Thanks.

Also the Game Pass Games on the Go quest isn't registering for me. I've installed all the weekly and monthly games by the mobile app but they're not being ticked off.

I see they've done away with the mobile game pass quests. It stopped working for me a few days ago, straight after completing 1000pt monthly quest.

Impressive. I got around 12000 and was mighty pleased with myself.

I don't mind playing the cheap and nasty games here and there for achievements/trophies, but the amount he would have had to play to rack up that score is mind boggling. I wonder how much money he spent or did he already have a lot since he created a new account? And can you stack games on Xbox like you can on Playstation? Can you create another account on your Xbox and set it to a different region to buy games with?

@eduscxbox I wouldn't say no to DLC.

Fantastic news. I also finished it first day, I just couldn't put it down. Bring on a sequel.

I ended up finishing The Medium in one sitting yesterday, only broken up by a quick trip to the tip and making something to eat. Needless to say I think it is fantastic, love the setting and story. Bloober's best so far. Almost got every achievement, just missing two, so looking forward to experiencing it again later.

Today I did a bit of backlog cleaning on PS5, working on improving my completion rate this year. So I decided to continue with the Lego Movie game after only finishing the first level a few years ago. Also hunted some trophies for The Unfinished Swan, beat that one back in 2015 and forgot what a gem it is.

Tomorrow will most likely be the same.

I'm a few hours in and absolutely loving it. I wasn't expecting a AAA experience nor am I disappointed because a few reviews say it's mediocre. Just turn the lights off, soak up the atmosphere and give it a go.

Series X: Horizon 4 and Little Nightmares... almost got the 10,000 reward points this month, only 500 to go

PS5: either Spider-Man DLC or Ratchet & Clank... need to finish the DLC to 100% complete it so I can finally fire up Miles Morales, and working on the Plat for R&C

Subnautica is another good one to achieve 1000GS with. Under 1 hour if you follow a guide. Also on Game Pass.

12 out of 15

The ones I got wrong were Avowed, Halo Infinite, and Outriders.

Also doing the Gamerscore rewards so I completed Fractured Minds and The Gardens Between today, and some Roblox.

After that I lost myself in Tetris 99 for a while, played a number of cross country races on Forza Horizon 4, and a few matches of Dead by Daylight before bed.

Tomorrow will be more Dead By Daylight, probably some more easy gamerscore, and get some spirits in Smash Bros.

Yeah, waiting for a match is like dangling on a meat hook....

I "played" Rec Room for GS last month and didn't have any problems. Anyway, thanks for this list!

I've been playing Forza Horizon 4 and A Way Out.

Bought my first Xbox, a Series X.

Since getting a Series X, only 3.
Wandersong, The Touryst, and The Turing Test. (All 100% completed)
Currently working on A Way Out and Hellblade which I'm hoping to knock out before the new year. A few others I've been dipping into but not seriously yet.

Considering the base Xbox One version would play worse than PS4... maybe.

What are Microsoft's refund policy like? Nonexistent like Sony's? That could be the deciding factor. But then again, Microsoft has an exclusive marketing deal, so who knows.

This timeline we're living in is pretty exciting though. Breathtaking, even.

Just started some couch co-op in A Way Out last night actually, and what I've played has been great. Game Pass delivers again.

I also preloaded Call of the Sea, but currently digging into Haven. I guess I'll check out that Destiny 2 update as well.

Control and Haven will go on my list of never ending games to play.

They were slow to pop for me yesterday as well but it is all good now.

Don't forget to floss in between those buttons.

Crazy stuff.
