The Illusive Man

Not sure if anyone is familiar with the ‘PSPlay’ Android TV app, but the developer behind it has just released an Xbox version called ‘XBXplay’. I tried it this afternoon, really good quality streaming from my living room XSX to the Nvidia Shield in my bedroom (admittedly my whole setup is hardwired though).

Previously the only options for Xbox streaming on Android TV were sideloading the GamePass app and streaming from the cloud, or via an ancient version of the ‘Xbox Streaming’ app from July ‘20 that had horrible bitrate issues when I tried it.

Not clear to me why Microsoft doesn’t just make a TV app with local streaming themselves, but I’ll gladly take this option.

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.

I mean sure, I agree, but I specifically cited the games they mentioned. They might not have known that first-party games stay indefinitely and that's pretty important to know.

Is there any site or sale for Game Pass subscriptions to get a year or something like that? I actually just sub selected months or using the 1€ whenever I can use that again.

There's the commonly known trick of redeeming a bunch of Live Gold codes (up to 3 years) and then converting it all to GP Ultimate (the account must not have an active GP Ultimate sub at the time of redeeming the Gold). The conversion rate is 1:1 that way.

Piggybacking off what Zat said, I bought three years of Gold time from a Turkish site for maybe 70€ combined last summer when my Game Pass Ultimate ran out. You can just use a free VPN like Tunnelbear to spoof your connection to come from whatever cheaper country you get it from, and then redeem it on the website. You don't need to use a VPN after it's redeemed or anything.

Cool thanks! I got a 3ish euro 1month code off cdkeys (non stackable) so I'll do some searching right after this one expires or keep rolling these codes after expiration.

Atomic Heart reviews are going live now. Reviews are very mixed.

GameSpot posted:

Sergei is also deeply unlikable as a person. He's antagonistic to everyone around him, including the regularly helpful Charles, and it's never explained why, leading to the slow realization of the painful truth that you're just playing as a lovely human being. You don't feel good playing as Sergei whenever he opens his mouth to talk to anyone--I empathize more with the people who have to tolerate his barrage of unfunny insults than I do him.

AusGamers posted:

Structurally, as a quasi-open thing, Atomic Heart is impressive. Huge thematic levels are interspersed between open areas that house ‘dungeons’ called Polygons, which offer weapon mods as rewards for their puzzle-combat challenges. It’s more Far Cry with puzzles than BioShock, and you can even jump into a car to get from one point to another.

GamePro posted:

A buzzword that keeps popping up in connection with Atomic Heart is "open world". However, this term raises expectations that the finished game can nowhere near live up to. Yes, after the Wawilow complex, which is quite drawn out, Atomic Heart releases us into an upper world that can be explored quite freely, but which is neither particularly large nor really interesting or offers optical highlights.

Rather, it is the connecting element between the larger-scale main missions, all of which take place in closed building complexes, similar to Halo Infinite. This also creates quite an imbalance between main missions and "Open World". The former also take a lot of time because of the tedious tasks, in the latter, on the other hand, we spend significantly less time.

Are there any good team deathmatch or arena shooter type games on Gamepass besides Halo? Just looking for something to play with a couple of friends. We tried the new Apex Legends TDM mode but it's bad. Objective or round based or whatever is fine too just needs to be enough people playing that we can find a match and where you spend most of your time shooting mans and not waiting around or running around looking for fights (i.e. not battle royale)

I guess basically Halo but not Halo because we've played the hell out of it already

Wondering, I have a 1 month (non stackable) Game Pass Ultimate, can I get 6month Gold and it keeps being ultimate or do I need to let expire this Ultimate month, get gold then convert it for 1€?

Hulk Krogan

You have to let it expire first. If you add Gold time to an active GP sub it converts it at like 3:1 or something.
