I got the Diablo 4 beta from KFC. I have 2 Xboxes, my son can play on his account on my "home" Xbox, and I can play on my account on our extra Xbox at the same time, correct? I don't need a second code do I?

This is usually how game licenses work but it's not impossible that Activision Blizzard Microsoft Pepsi has some extra shenanigans going on where only the purchasing account is entitled to it because it's treated as a consumable or MTX or something weird like that.

It might work, but you might need to double down on the Double Down.

You might need 2 codes for this weekend if you're using 2 separate accounts on 2 separate consoles. Though D4 has couch co-op that only needs one person to have beta access if you want to play on the same console.

Next weekend is the fully open beta that doesn't need any codes or anything, so you can definitely play together on separate consoles during that weekend. The KFC/pre-order stuff is only for this weekend's test (that doesn't even have all the classes unlocked like next week's test will)

I played for 4 hours last night on Series X and it runs pretty well.

Of course my high rear end took off in the wrong direction this time, missing all the prefab buildings I could repair, and instead hiked all the way to the shore where I built a house and stockpile from scratch.

Way more difficult than it should have been but now I have lots of stuff..

couch co-op might be a good idea for my kid since he always wanders off and then wonders why he got beat down by a gang of monsters far above his level and expects me to go find his body and give him a portal to it.

this is a neat game, put the difficulty down to easy because the combat ain't it, but if you have a soft spot for weird japanese games reminiscent of the early 2000s, give it a go

D4 beta only goes to level 25 fwiw. Much like D3 only containing a portion of act I, I wouldn’t expect it to be representative of whatever the game is going to be in the end. Not a case for/against doing the beta, just good to know I think.

Waiter, this band keeps shooting pearls at me.
Valheim is on my list to check out too. Looks good.

Guilty Gear on game pass is extremely polished: Presentation. Online settings. Matchmake settings. Genius tutorial. Great characters. The tower mechanic. The seamless connection. All of it.

Except for the Xbox controller part.
Unplayable for a 2d fighting game imo.

It killed SF anniversary for me too. That game had other issues, but the controller was the main reason for me.

Xbone controller. I don’t know about the x/s controller.

10 years ago I would have fought through the garbage dpad because GG is so good otherwise.

It did get me thinking though- on og Xbox there was an “S controller” and it had the best dpad I ever used. I played cvs2 and 3rd strike for like 5+ years with it.

I have a stick that I’ll give GG a shot with but I think there was a dpad menu thing I won’t be able to use with it.

Long post here but the top xbox versus fighting game is probably still for honor or fight night.

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.
Ill need to borrow a stick because I retired from fighting games over a decade ago because I wrecked my thumb on dpads on Dreamcast and Marvel vs Snk2/Soul Cal 2 and later GG/Blazblue.

But I'd like to try G.

Use the sx pad. You can ride the ridge and theres no inputs or issues.

any modern stick should have a switch to swap what input the stick itself does


this is an example from the 8bitdo stick but any of them should have something similar

I have the Hori Fighting Commander (PC/PS3/PS4) for the layout and dpad and is really good and great to play emulation on PC and Streets of Rage and other stuff on PS4. It's wired and has no analogs though
