How do you patch a microsoft store game? Gears 5 says my version is out of date then kicks me but it doesn't have a manual update option anywhere.

I had this problem. I tried to update in the beta app, didn't work. Tried to update in the windows store, didn't work. I paused and restarted the install, restarted my computer and it worked somehow?

Thy ended up solving it for me too, just rebooting seemed to be the kick the update needed to finish.

Bloodstained runs fine on PlayStation and Xbox, the only place I run into stuttering was the map where they try to recreate mode 7 effects. And that’s going to stutter no matter where you’re playing it on.

someone confirm/deny my suspicions: Bungie came to Microsoft with the basic idea of Destiny to shake up the Halo formula, but it freaked out MS too much and one side or the other put their foot down and caused the split.

I literally laughed for a good long time when I finally tried playing Destiny because it IS so very much Halo with a bunch of WINK WINK legal cover re-skins and a half-assed story to explain why a bunch of different alien species are being mean to you.



Edit: from the wiki it looks like they were already de-coupling a while before that so maybe not?

Yeah Destiny is a lot closer to what Halo was initially pitched to people like 20 years ago when it was a Mac exclusive.

Speaking of, I was thinking of picking up an S. Is there actually a danger with using a VPN to redeem Turkish Xbox Live codes? Is it even worth bothering this close to the inevitable black Friday Xbox Live sales?

Would I actually get much use out of a 144mhz monitor for playing the S on? A lot of what I'm seeing about current games includes a fps cap at 30 or 60.

Giving a few games on game pass I missed out on by not having an Xbox the last 10 years and can play on a new monitor with HDR. Started with Ryse and I did not expect this, game looks great and the story is pretty fun. Feels like if it wasn't rushed for he One launch and the control scheme wasn't cobbled together after the Kinect bombed it would have had a better life.

Apparently you have to have a “store presence” within 90 days.
Boo. Maybe we can still fly under the radar

Theyre either backpedaling or it was an honest error. Either way they're working to reactivate disabled accounts. Which is a relief, it actually was the final domino that pushed into buying an S.

Even if this goes through, Microsoft will still be the third largest game company so we have some time before this.

I was talking more in line with console share and Xbox ecosystem. If they pull significantly ahead of Sony and don't need the gamepass lever as much anymore its an obvious target for price increases and cost saving measures.

I wonder how fluid the final price is, whether they agreed to a set rate to market cap or relative at closing time. Announcing that they're going to add a large chunk of the catalog to gamepass is sure to stymy upcoming sales and affect stock prices when sales goals aren't met.

Interesting that Nintendo, Capcom, Sqeenix and Konami are all seen as targets for retaliatory purchase.

Nintendo is obviously doubtful, as is Konami. Konami's presence in the casino sphere would open the Sony board to a pretty hefty barrage of investigation and background checks before the purchase could be approved. Ownership of a casino product in the states requires a 'key' license, it's also required when you're the direct report of anyone with a gaming license.

When I went for my key I had to fill out a 200 page questionnaire, including all itemized bank account and credit statements for the last 8 years.

Finished Guardians of the Galaxy, what a great Game Pass game. I don’t think I’d replay it even for collectables but enjoyed the entire thing while playing it. Had some pretty emotional bits, kinda like the movies (especially the 2nd).

In really enjoying it, shame it didn't make enough money for Squeenix to allot resources to fix the many, many graphical and sound bugs.

plus the better hardware might be something you don't give a poo poo about now but consider it paying a little more for future proofing. it's possible that there'll be another half-step console generation with games that the series s can't handle, or that 4k panels will become standard in the next couple of years, etc.

I thought about that, and it definitely will happen, but by that time there will be a new Xbox worth trading in for. Microsoft seems to be steering towards Consoles as a Service.

The disc should work fine, the only issue is that you can't buy the digital versions from the Xbox store anymore. Peace Walker is still up on the 360 store and is backwards compatible for Xbox One.

Is the store the only way to download a game to your series S? Can you purchase PW on the 360 store and initiate the download through a browser window or something?
