The betas for both CoD and Battlefield were pretty bad. Halo's gonna be my sole multiplayer game this year. Well, that and I'll probably still be playing Nuketown on Black Ops Cold War lol

kri kri posted:BF is good now Yeah, 2042 seemed fine from the three games I played today. Portal seems neat. I don't play a ton of Battlefield, though. Maybe people who are more into it have deeper issues with it. I had fun.

I know theres a TV thread but how are the Sony OLEDs? they are double the price of the LGs in  pretty much so I never looked much further.

They're the exact same panel that's paired with a different processor that has slightly better motion handling and probably a few more nuances if you really wanna get into the weeds of it.

The FPS in San Andreas must be hovering around 15 at points when it rains. How the gently caress is that possible when the game looks like crap. Coming from 60 FPS Horizon 5 to this poo poo is mind boggling. Are Rockstar bad developers now?

They outsourced it to some tiny lovely studio because they were too busy trying to find somewhere to store the trillions of dollars GTA Online makes every single minute.

So I just had a month of Gamepass ultimate for a buck and let it expire so I could downgrade back to regular and it still gave me the 3 months for a buck deal. lol Can you bail out of cars and move the camera with the right stick in GTA3? Those two little things always made it the hardest to go back to.

Man, I’m trying to three star this one challenge where you have to stay above a certain speed in FH5. When I watch other people do it on YouTube they don’t have this big puddle of water that either slows you down or makes you spin out. I think they added that in a patch.

Happy page 1000!  1 - Open MS Rewards App on Xbox 2 - Activate Battlefield 2042 punch card 3 - Go to “My Games and Apps” > Full Library > EA Play > Game Trials 4 - Start download for Battlefield 2042 trial version 5 - Go back into MS Rewards app and the punch card should now be completed After the punch card completes you can just cancel the download if you want.

Laffo Forspoken is coming out to Steam, EGS, and Windows 10 with Xbox achievements on day one so apparently sony's budget for exclusives is just "not a physical device called xbox"

hanyolo posted:3 months is 36000 points so yeah like 2 weeks free nice find! Holy lol I’d seen it mentioned in this thread but I didn’t realise you needed so many reward points for a free month of Ultimate. I’ve only semi-recently got a Series S and Ultimate, and over the last 2 weeks I’d been putting an effort in to open the mobile app every day, play any challenges for games I’ve got installed, etc. I still haven’t quite reached 1000 points. Unless these huge points bonuses come along often (which sounds like it was unintentional as it’s “fixed” already, from the above) it really doesn’t seem worth all the busywork to me. I got the impression you could just pick up a free month by playing games as normal, but at this rate I think I’d rather just disable the notifications and be done with it..

You kinda have to do the Microsoft Rewards app stuff to make decent points, which is seperate from the Game Pass app as it covers both games and other things. In the Rewards app there's a weekly streak thing that's not too hard to keep going (it's usually earn 3 achievements, do 3 Bing searches etc.). More weeks = more points payout. There's also searches, quizzes etc you can do if you can be bothered. Then there's one-off events that can really boost your points, such as earning an achievement in a featured game for 500 points, and the (rarely seen) Gamerscore challenge where you can earn up to 10,000 points.

The 10,000 point challenge is kind of a trap, the rewards app will happily give you 50 points each day for your precious achievements. (Unless you follow a guide to bang out ten game pass games you don't actually want to play, I guess.) Not that it really matters much at all.

Yeah I do the minimum effort of opening the gamepass and rewards app once a day and cashing in the achievement one if I managed to get one and the weekly treasure and that gets me about 30000 points a year which gives me 3 months of free gamepass

(Unless you follow a guide to bang out ten game pass games you don't actually want to play, I guess.) Oh yeah I forgot about the +50 for an achievement. Definitely a good one to redeem. Also for those easy Game Pass quests that have a specific game; if the game is on xCloud you can just load it up that way instead of downloading it.

I don't understand why i see all these posts about challenges to get free gamepass ultimate. Why don't you just buy 3 years of gold and upgrade the whole lot for $1, or $10.99 if you already used the offer? Not challenging enough for you? I don't have to pay poo poo till 2023. Why the hell can't I play battlefield 2042 yet, i thought it was released today
