I don't play enough games to earn enough rewards

Why can't they just give you points based on how many times you get beaten at rocket league? I'd be set for life.

Im curious what specifically happens

you get into the evil cannibal cults science lair and essentially get parasitized by a venom symbiote that puts you into a what is real dream state and then slowly walk around a homeless camp for a while before ending up in like a void of the mind where you die or something, leaving the entire plot unresolved

Kill it With Fire isn't as fun as I thought it would be. You have these side objectives besides killing spiders to get points which are fun until they get tedious and frustrating then you decide to go kill spiders and you can't find any.

I've been playing Streets of Rogue as it's leaving game pass. It's pretty fun, kind of like The Escapists but crazier.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
Speaking of the Gamepass monthly quests, that soccer one they just put up the other day was totally not worth the 75 points. Took me like four matches to finally get a win.

I've been doing it seriously since June and I'm almost to 100k which can get me a $100 gift card to Amazon, already close to the $100 gift card to the MS store. Can't decide if I want to put it towards the all access or just buy games and poo poo.

I feel confident that despite microsoft publishing 3 of the 10 highest reviewed games this year, including the #1 (as of this post), they will get the fewest GOTY awards versus the big 3 publishers.

I mean yeah there are 0 sad dads in Forza Horizon 5 or Psychonauts 2, how are you meant to be taken seriously as a creative industry if you're not giving awards to sad dad games?

I tried Psychonauts 2 because it was made by Tim Schafer and he worked on the Monkey Island series and Day of the Tentacle. But I don't like jumping on platforms. I did enjoy walking around the main hub and looking at stuff.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Psychonauts - the first boss one shot me as I was about to kill him, and then I replayed the fight again and he did the same thing, so I just kind of quit because it was 11pm and I was annoyed.

Game seems cool though, probably my own fault for being bad.

If you change your Xbox region to New Zealand, you can play Forza Horizon 5 right now.

It also works for Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Worth exploring the different accessibility options the game has. If you aren't feeling the combat, there are options available to mitigate that.

The triple press A to hover being an accessibility option is so weird, like it makes the game way better. Should be default.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It's great that one of those options is to disable fall damage so you can just blunder into the depths over and over again.

So if I buy the Forza premium pass for 45 bucks with GPU I can play Forza early and I don't have to buy the full game? What happens when they de-list the game?

For Forza 7 they had this offer but if they don't you either gotta buy it before it's delisted or find a physical copy afterwards. They normally go on very deep discount right before delisting tho.

"Xbox Game Pass players who previously bought any DLC for the game will be sent a token to gain permanent access to the game. If you haven't received a token by 2nd August, you can contact Xbox Support for a token."

Wow I had the complete opposite experience. I didn't die once the entire game (didn't use any assists either).

My only death was in the post-game where I had to kill myself by walking into thorns in order to get the Dream Fluff achievement. :v:

I was pretty thorough with collectibles from the start though so my health bar probably got a bit OP.

Don't worry, they'll sell you all the DLC and the extra 4 days by themselves if you're a Game Pass subscriber.
