Agree 100% on all points except the MD, but only because i haven't played it.

I find that some of the claims work better if you wait about 5 min. after getting the achievement. I wish it was just automatic somehow though, I have going through ten different squares to claim 5 points...

What's really weird is sometimes on the daily achievement on the MS points app it works when I haven't earned an achievement for that day.

I really love gamepass for these games. I've waffled on buying SC6 multiple times and if I ever saw it for $5 I'd probably just do it. Now I can buy it, put a few hours into it, and remember why I don't stick with fighting games for a long time and move on.

I also played crackdown 3 via gamepass and man I was bored in less than two hours. Now I never have to think about that game again. Gamepass is worth it if you can find deals on it regularly making it half off, so $90 a year is a good deal considering that $50-60 dollars is for playing online already (feels like xbl gold deals have gotten worse because now it's about GPU). If you play at least two full priced games on it a year and save yourself buying those games, it's well worth it.

If you use Microsoft Rewards you can get it for basically free. I'm paid up through March 2023

i played minecraft and I got way too high and freaked out when those things started coming at me at night and I didn't play it again or investigate the possibility of turning them off somehow, thats my interesting contribution to this apparently ongoing conversation about a game for children I found "too scary"

I lost at Minecraft. I was getting killed by this giant spider so I dug a hole and hid from it but then I couldn't get out. I wasn't even high so I have no excuse.

gamepass is a $1 demo service for games you'll later buy on Steam instead so the Xbox app/Windows store doesn't nuke your drive

With Microsoft rewards points it's free forever. You are literally the biggest sucker if you don't have game pass.

Did the GamePass thing. Currently sitting in three years worth. Amazing.

Other question: is there any way to make Live avatars look less...gender-fluid? I see what Microsoft was going for but I can�t seem to make myself look like myself. The range seems to be super feminine to Daria feminine even when choosing a masculine body type, facial hair, and all the other stereotypical masculine stuff.

I got the Godzilla costume when they were giving that away then I bought the pole dancing emote because are you gonna have Godzilla and not have him pole dance? Of course not.

debt is an inherently bad thing sorry you live in a poisoned land where you buy like bread on a credit card or whatever

also going into debt to purchase something whose value will trend downward from the second you buy it is stupid unless its your only option due to income, especially when its a luxury good already. if its your only option thats fine. if you can afford to buy it buy it.

So for some reason my Game Pass app can't find my Xbox One S. I can't remotely download games from it. This wouldn't be a problem but the download 5 games quest is worth 100 points this month so it's annoying me. I've done all the trouble shooting suggested in the FAQ to the best of my ability but nothing has worked. This is driving my OCD crazy.

I had this happen and some combination of reinstalling the Game Pass app and rebooting the Xbox One fixed it. I'm sure you already tried that, though.

I figured out what's wrong. On the app I can still download to my lap top and when I tried to start a remote download on the Xbox website it said I didn't have a registered device. So for some reason my Xbox account dose not recognize my Xbox One. What's even stranger is this has not affected the function of my Xbox at all. I can buy stuff on it and download from game pass no problem. I left a message on the Xbox support forums but I haven't heard anything yet.

The mp is very fun but half the maps suck or have bad spawns i played it for a couple weeks and fell off.
The sp is cool but very limited in terms of scenarios for missions vs the older sw flight games but if you didnt play those to death you probably wont notice.
I think you need vr to really make it a long term hobby. The impressiveness wears off in meat space after you tire of the content.

The problem seems to be that rewards is sending out promotional codes for new GPU customers instead of codes to add months. I got it resolved but it took some phone calls and it�s a relatively new problem.

Who did you call? I had that problem today and I sent in a tech support request but haven't heard anything back from them.

One of the reasons I was originally reluctant to get Game Pass was because I was afraid I would be overwhelmed by the choices and end up not finishing any game. That's kind of what happened. I'm still glad I got it because it introduced me to stuff like Slay the Spire but I'm playing something then getting tired of it and quieting and I HATE that. So I've decided to knuckle down and play the Yakuza series.

Three things:
1. Viva pinata freaks me out. You breed these things to bust them apart. And it doesn't even kill them. Their life is a constant hell of being busted open. And let's not even get into the forced incest.
2. The bathroom battle in Yakuza 0 is kicking my rear end. I'm still adjusting to the combat system.
3. Also Yakuza 0 related, the cut scenes are so long that my Xbox one S goes into idle mode where the screen dims. Anyway to fix that?

Anyone else get their Game Pass Ultimate Codes problem fixed? I sent in a report like 5 days ago and haven't heard anything. I just tried again and says chat support isn't available for this problem so they sent me an automated thing. It had me try to redeem the code and it says it was expired. So I tried it again on the redemption website and it said it was still for new customers only. I don't know how I'm supposed to fix this.
