5's ending is really stupid due to the choice you have to make which assuredly will mess up whatever story they want to tell in the next one or have some stupid out.

The red sand section of the game taking place in the non-cog part of the world is real good and frankly Id be fine if gears 6 had you playing as anti-cog forces and just dropped the whole locust thing.

Can you no longer buy a subscription to ONLY Gamepass for $10 a month? I don't play online and have no need for the gold membership.

Yeah, I've got nothing of the sort. Could it be because I used to be a member?

And going into the store for memberships only lists Ultimate Gamepass. There is a $10 option for Gold only on the Gold page, but nothing about joining on the Gamepass page. If anyone can find it, I'd appreciate a picture of where it is.

So the release of Apple TV+ has led to something more significant for me, and that's the release of an Apple TV app for Amazon Fire Sticks and other devices, which also let you access your iTunes movies and TV shows. Will even do 4K HDR10 on the 4K Sticks, although they're apparently working on getting Dolby Vision and Atmos working for people with the money for that gear.

Now if Amazon and Disney will kiss and make up already so the Disney+ app comes out on the stick it'll be the ultimate device.

Would really love for Apple TV to be on Xbox One, but my digital movie collection is entirely on Amazon right now and so it would be a difficult sell to switch over.

Link your accounts on movies anywhere and it will transfer your purchased movies onto each platform so you can watch them wherever

Officially this is US only. You can still sort-of do it with some services, but not with an iTunes account unless it's specifically a US one.

Apple is the only distributor that knows movies are only worth a few bucks, too.

Yes. You can even set it up so it transfers some system information (e.g. profiles) over as well. It re-asks you for your password(s) and then you've more or less got a 1:1 copy of your old console's setup, just reconfigure for 4K TV and you're good.

Note that some games will have sizable texture downloads, but if you want to get a head start on this you can configure your old XB1 to explicitly download this data.

You can also transfer everything over your wifi network which is slow but could be faster than downloading everything.

I want to make the mistake of playing Anthem.
Does EA Access work similar to Xbox Gold/Game pass where I can use one subscription on two consoles? My main console and whichever my account is logged in on?
Anthem for $2.50 a person for a month doesn't seem the worst.

Nope. Apple used a different 3.5mm jack standard so the mic won’t work and there’s a terrible buzzing noise. I’ve heard there’s a way to turn off the buzz but that won’t solve the mic problem.

Is this the thread for discussing Windows games available on Game Pass such as Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition (releases Nov 14th, beta available now)? Any interest in that?

Edit: I thought that by installing it now I'd get to play the beta. No such luck. 6 days to go. Sigh. I'm one of the few people who really liked AoE1 DE.

I love the Plantronics RIG 800LX I got refurbed on eBay for $50. Great sound, easy to use audio/chat controls and to mute yourself you just swing the mic up which is a super easy reflex move to do.

There is an RTS thread floating around but yeah, I'm really looking forward to AoE2 and also enjoyed AoE1 remaster. Hopefully I can finish Outer Worlds before all my time gets sunk into it!

I use Lucidsound LS41. It's weird to set up (it has a big dongle sticking out of the front of the Xbox and you have to change alot in Settings) but the sound and mic are top notch, especially with the Dolby Atmos app installed. They're expensive though. :v:

I got a Turtle Beach Stealth 600 on sale at Amazon, none of that weird echo the official Microsoft one seemed to have for me, and the game and chat have separate volume levels. Muted when you flip the mic up.

Sure, if you acknowledge that all PCs are Xboxes, and that you play games on Xbox now.

I played it with the Capcom Heroes stuff and it was okay

I looked up the regular gameplay later and it looked like I didn't miss much though
