In other news about this call of duty game, it seems they've killed $60 pricing entirely. The minimum launch price for the game is $70, but includes the game on both XB1 and Series platforms (with a smart delivery disc version). The PC version is also $70 as a baseline. Next gen has finally arrived.

i can only assume you mean a very loose interpretation of the word 'gameplay' here in this video because there was not a single HUD or actual player controlled first person footage in that entire 'gameplay' trailer.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

Sywert of Thieves posted:

but since I got the new console, it always a to pop up a dialog saying "the person who bought this game needs to sign in" when he tries to start one.

I looked it up, apparently I haven't set the new console as my "home console" yet. Should be good then.

Also CoD is the blandest of bland shooters. It may not have been when it started, but it sure is now.

The only COD I ever played that isn't COD 1 or 2, is Modern Warfare on the PS4. I played a whole lot of it, the maps were fun and I liked the gameplay. It's a very satisfying shooting experience!

ITs been 3 whole years since I Gold->XBU. I just let it lapse today, am I good to just buy another 3 years of gold then convert so I get ultimate for 3 years for ~150ish or whatever that is now? Thats not a bad value at all.

Or is there some other step I'm missing before I start buying gold cards.
had my 3 years expire two weeks ago and managed to do that last night. gold cards went in fine, had errors doing the $1 conversion - what ended up working was inputting a one month GPU code on the console, not the PC browser. sub converted until 2025, everything seems fine.

Some minor news tidbits dropped before the Xbox Stream

  • An XCloud app will be released to Samsung 2022 Smart TVs on June 30. Many Bluetooth controllers will be supported, and Fortnite will be free for anyone to play.
  • XCloud is now available in Argentina and New Zealand.
  • Various gaming improvements to Windows 11 (windowed app optimisations, hdr calibration app, controller bar...) and the Edge browser (dedicated gaming home page, clarity boost, games menu pointing to popular freebies, efficiency mode for reduced resource use when a game's running)
  • XCloud starting to add support for non-Game Pass games (ex. games you already own)
  • A new system for curated game demos for Game Pass members, coming next year.
  • XBox Design Lab now available in 11 more countries (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia and Switzerland, with Taiwan this summer) with new pastel and camo-top options.

I know everyone considers Hot Wheels to be the greatest expansion in FH history, but I hope it adds some much needed variety and (almost assuredly) track-building/sharing this time.

It was very cool and changed the fundamental game mechanics of FH3 but very samey after a while.

Yeah it should be much more flexible and open hopefully considering the customization stuff in Horizon 5.

If it has more monster truck stuff my 5yo is going to lose his poo poo.

one thing that really pissed me off about Forza is when I use someone else's design or tuning I can't edit it without deleting the whole loving thing. mostly because people love to put ugly rear end parts on their tunings.

i just don't like the maps they have and since they never patch them or change them like counterstrike maps sometimes do it's just like that until they're replaced completely next game. i have a vague suspicion that each of the main studios doesn't actually have a mapping team that only does multiplayer maps and instead it's just whatever level designer was working that day. there's rarely a coherent flow and especially on the apartment type maps you end up with like, overlooks that can only see 5 feet of a random flank that's never used because there's no cover anyway. in a shooter map there should be absolutely zero wasted or useless geometry, everything should be drawing your eye to main approaches and objectives. cod has semi-random objectives and completely random spawns and while this is fine for an hour or two here and there on the shuffle playlist it absolutely sucks if you're me and used to play search and destroy all day on mw2
