[fleet nest]

Poeple on twitter said it

[fluid creek]

@fleet nest please stop making things up or spreading rumors

unless it's on xbox.com, it is speculation at best

[fleet nest]

My bad

[tacit robin]

Again nothing has been said about the next xbox it's just people guessing

[fleet nest]

Lemme check

[hearty plinth]

only thing thats confirmed is that the next gen xbox console will have an amd chip

[vocal gorge]

I’m sure if there was anything official announced we’d all be talking about it right now

[merry palm]

nothing has been announced other than the amd chip

no dates , nothing

[hearty plinth]

plus next gen console is a good few years away

[fleet nest]

Dang

[hearty plinth]

current gen consoles wont turn 5 til november. plus xb1/ps4 consoles lifespan was around 7 years

[fiery sluice]

why $70?

[hearty plinth]

idk anything about any of them

im not going to look it up either

can i make polls here? hm...

[upper meteor]

[earnest sage]

Have the colours of the roles been changed?

[upper meteor]

Hey mintzs

[blissful fern]

M3GAN 2.0 > Supermid 2025

[merry palm]

those are movies right?

[upper meteor]

Let me help you

If you're playing the MCC, you can choose from 6 different halo games

Halo reach
Halo ce
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 3 odst
Halo 4

[earnest sage]

We're all shiny

[granite verge]

https://tenor.com/view/good-burger-some-of-these-gif-12933391

[merry palm]

thats what i figured i would do yeah. but i just want to play one.

like.. if i like it i can play more but otherwise 1

im not promising alllll of them

[upper meteor]

Hmmmm

[merry palm]

pick 4 for the poll?

thats a reasonable choices amount

[gilded granite]

Does someone know how to get xbox gamepass for free (im new to xbox)

[upper meteor]

Sure, just make sure to leave out Halo rea- 🤢 reach then

😆

[merry palm]

if you are in a supported area and of age you can use microsoft rewards.

[granite verge]

If your region supports it and you're eligible to join, Microsoft Rewards

[merry palm]

great minds

[granite verge]

[gilded granite]

what do i do here?

[granite verge]

https://rewards.bing.com/?ref=rewardspanel

[earnest sage]

@gilded granite Have you used Gamepass before?

[soft nebula]

Hi guys

[upper meteor]

Halo there

[sterile pasture]

I DID IT

IN FINALLY FREEEEEE

OMGGGGGGGG YESS

[soft nebula]

Halo there spartan

[neat badger]

Isn’t it the most ironic thing the fact human or not has a captcha

[merry palm]

whats the difference between the 2- 3 ones?

[upper meteor]

Hi finally free, I'm Icky Spartan

[gilded granite]

nah

[granite verge]

Next challenge to beat, turn off your caps lock.
You can do it, I believe in you 🙏

[earnest sage]

So you've not signed up for it at all?

[gilded granite]

wdym

[earnest sage]

Cause I've got a 1 month GP that I got with my 8bitdo controller that I haven't used

[upper meteor]

Main difference between halo 2 and 3 are the graphics (if you play halo 2 with classic graphics that is)

Uhh also the gameplay, halo 2 doesn't have equipment (stuff like shields, gravity lifts, deployable cover) unlike halo 3 for example

[earnest sage]

So if you've never had Gamepass before and this would be your first time, I can send you the code over and you get 1 month free to see what it's like

[merry palm]

and 3 odst?

[earnest sage]

But it's only for people who have never had Gamepass before

[gilded granite]

thats amazing if you do that

[upper meteor]

Basically halo 3 but slightly altered jump height, health system and movement speed, to make you feel like an actual odst

Also melee damage is lowered iirc

Brb walking back home

[earnest sage]

@gilded granite Sent you a message, try that code out, let me know if it works for you

[upper meteor]

Different story than halo 3 too, 3 odst takes place on Earth

[merry palm]

ah. so they get listed seperate

[upper meteor]

Yeah

Back

[earnest sage]

wb

[upper meteor]

Thank you mintzs

[merry palm]

so, both 3 games, 4 and which other one (for the poll lol)

[upper meteor]

Hmmm

[merry palm]

😂 i have no clue so yk. i rely on all the peeps

[upper meteor]

I'd say halo ce, starting with the first game shouldn't be that bad

It's the simplest of them all as well so you can have an easier time learning the controls

[merry palm]

and it'll be up for 3 days lol

[upper meteor]

My answer is not biased at all

[merry palm]

loool

[fleet nest]

Halo 3

[merry palm]

put your vote on the poll 😂

[versed estuary]

Halo 3 for sure

[merry palm]

lemme change my name so people see to look for the poll

[earnest sage]

[versed estuary]

Lmao

[neat badger]

Bruh

[granite verge]

[merry palm]

[versed estuary]

[merry palm]

[bright quartz]

[versed estuary]

It is weird what hot drinks are made with hot orange juice

[merry palm]

wassail

[versed estuary]

Idk what that is

[merry palm]

for starters

im sorry you are missing out there

[bright quartz]

i have a good question - whats ur favourite xbox UI colour?

[earnest sage]

[merry palm]

[versed estuary]

I just looked it up. I am not missing it

[merry palm]

[latent swallow]

Mhmm probs the dark red

[versed estuary]

I chose red

Dark red

[merry palm]

idk i have a pc lol

[bright quartz]

for me its grey-green

[cerulean basin]

Juat dropping by to say Fantastic Four: First Steps was fantastic 😄

[latent swallow]

I wish we could have a custom color like a minty green

[versed estuary]

I have a animated series X background and red outline etc

[upper meteor]

Can't wait for second steps

[merry palm]

anchel.. is this true

[versed estuary]

I’d put a picture but I am not an explorer yet

[upper meteor]

Uh oh

I forgot to do my homework, I'll have to go!

[bright quartz]

fantastic, also whats fantastic is that my fantastic friends decided to go see it without me because i have work at their chosen day :(

[upper meteor]

[merry palm]

https://tenor.com/view/hungry-feed-me-food-little-shop-of-horrors-monster-gif-3428290

[bright quartz]

[latent swallow]

Here is my pet his name is baloo

[upper meteor]

Halo

[bright quartz]

ive actually never played any halo

[cerulean basin]

I wouldn't even know where to begin refuting his claims

[upper meteor]

You should

[merry palm]

me neither!

you want in on this poll lol?

[bright quartz]

no option for infinite

[merry palm]

nope

i had to pick 4. otherwise its too many options

if i like whatever wins , and i play.. then i might play more

[cerulean basin]

Anyways, was just here for the Fantastic Four cokment 😅 I'm on vacation now, finally. Gonna get some rest and start preparing suitcase tomorrow morning. Good night!

[upper meteor]

Have a good night Anchel

[bright quartz]

also why is expedition 33 so highly rated?

[merry palm]

because its a really good game

goty contendor for sure

[bright quartz]

yeah but whats so special about it? when i played it for the first 20 mins i felt a bit disgusted by the art style and music, not gonna lie...

[upper meteor]

Same with halo

[bright quartz]

im not ragebaiting btw. this term is overused.

[trail harness]

I love it when Discord uses 6 GB of my phone's RAM and then proceeds to be sluggish anyways. Fun times.

[merry palm]

you realize 20 minites is like.. barely into the opening scene right?

it isnt even the gameplay yet lol

[bright quartz]

yes

[merry palm]

discord doing discord things

[trail harness]

fr

[merry palm]

no like. its actually a fantastic game that people really really liked.

[bright quartz]

i mean its a turn based game where u fight bosses yeah? whats so special about it

[merry palm]

not using a phrase to mean goty possible

[trail harness]

games don't have to be groundbreaking to be great

[merry palm]

im not going to talk you into it if you decided you hated it after 20 minutes of the opening cutscene

😂

watch some videos or whatever

[bright quartz]

ok

actually, sure.

[trail harness]

Atlus has proven this many times ngl

[bright quartz]

have there been any developments regarding no rest for the wicked on xbox?

[jade trench]

Im literally grieving battlefield 3

Whenever i think about it or see anything about it i get really sad and i gotta do something else

[tacit robin]

While it is turn based it isn't a normal turn based game. There is actions your doing unlike most turn based games. Also of people line that style. The story is also a really good story. The music is also really good

[flint furnace]

yea

[merry palm]

the music is so good

[tacit robin]

You would have to play the game for a good 3 hours to understand

[merry palm]

i didnt continue playing it bc it made me want to cry lol
but it was awesome what i did play

and like .. sad cry

not angry bc i am bad at it cry

[tacit robin]

I've actually listened to the sound track while on the bus to work in the morning

[trail harness]

I kinda like when games do that to me ngl

If a game can get that kind of emotional response from me I tend to like it more

[merry palm]

i love that for you

i'll pass, but i hope you get that from a game you like

[trail harness]

and then there's games that the ending made me sad because I'd never be able to play the game for the first time again

[tacit robin]

It has a lot of rpg elements to it too. Like the builds you can make with the pictos and upgrades and the amount of different builds is crazy

Oh nah nah 😂Ghana isn’t so good economically ,our Libraries are mostly school libraries with academic books n stuff

[trail harness]

I have never heard of a library having games ngl

[upbeat cradle]

And with the Game Center’s ,I’d have to pay about 300 cedis(29$) to copy game files ,and since the game is like 12au$ and already have 7au$ balance ,I’d try and find a way to get it

Relatives get paid and are generous when the month ends and that’s exactly when the sale ends 🤣…damn twister

Hey guys, i havent part of the xbox ecosystem in a minute (switched to PS) but i was thinking about switching back soon. would yall say its worth it?

[crisp shell]

yes for sure

[median schooner]

Hey not so sure if I can post this here but I would really appreciate the help.
Hello everyone, I’m working on a school project where I’m diving into learn more about Xbox communities , and I could really use some input from you guys. I wanna know what gamers like and care about, what features you think are missing, and how Xbox stacks up to other platforms.
If you’ve got a minute, here are a few questions I’d love to hear your thoughts on:
What do you look for in an Xbox community? Is it the chance to connect with friends, meet new people, or maybe something else?
What kind of social or emotional needs do you feel gaming on Xbox fulfills for you? Is it about relaxing, escaping from stress, or competing with others?
Are there any features you wish Xbox had? What would make the platform more fun or easier to use for you?
How do Xbox communities stack up compared to PlayStation and PC? Do you think Xbox does a better job, or is there something they could improve to keep up?
I’m really trying to understand how Xbox can improve for the community, so any feedback is appreciated! Thanks a ton for taking the time to help out!

[pliant kestrel]

top tier game tbh. Most turn based games can be sluggish and collectathons (like dragon Quest and FF) but the pacing of 33 is just so good, once you start learning the mechanics it makes you want to keep playing. At least thats how it was for me

Story, music etc is also great so i agree with the others

[vestal surge]

[somber saddle]

Hi

[upper meteor]

Hello there

[vestal surge]

[vocal gorge]

More recent hardware on the Switch 2 than on the PS4 Pro

[bold monolith]

the server only dates my discord account by two years

I find that kinda funny

[lusty crow]

According to the server guide, the server was created in November 2015.

[amber star]

I'm a Hippo how about yall?

[buoyant knot]

discord lowk washed

[rigid sentinel]

Most servers where created during or after 2015

[bold monolith]

still would be technically 2 years after me because I made this account in October 2018

[lusty crow]

That's 1 month more then 3 years. October 2015 to October 2018 is three years, which means November 2015 to October 2018 is more then three years.

Or 1 month less...I hate math.

[rugged hinge]

Who wanna game share I'm broke

@vocal gorge I'm broke 😭

[ripe grotto]

Who cares! Get a job if you’re broke

[lusty crow]

Game sharing is for people you live with only. Get a job or get a hobby that isn't as expensive as gaming.

[ripe grotto]

Anywho how’s it going everyone

[rugged hinge]

?

i need to ask some questions

[fiery python]

If you have a server moderation query or issue, you can DM Modmail.

If you need technical support, post the details of the issue in #1091756150644555946- Make sure to answer the questions from the bot thoroughly and someone will help if/when they can.

If this is about a suspension or ban on Xbox itself, no one here can help with that.

[left creek]

no i just need to talk to a real person not a bot

[fiery python]

Those are your options.

[left creek]

ok

thanks

[twilit wren]

Hey

Does anyone knows if cod vanguard will be on game pass?

[ripe grotto]

You have 3 wishes from a genie what it be?

[twilit wren]

Having a great time with my family on christmas

And money obviously

[ripe grotto]

If I’d be me I’d ask for a universal save state so I can have all the time I’d need

Yaknow how some games have save states id be just like that

[fiery python]

No one knows until things get announced

[buoyant knot]

vanguard was wasted potential

they could have done better

[twilit wren]

Campaign is pretty good tho

[buoyant knot]

true

[twilit wren]

I love ww2 games

The campaign that i did not enjoy that much was cod ww2

The campaign was a bit unrealistic

And exagerated

[pliant kestrel]

yall think theres actually gonna be a new gen console? or theyre gonna do some weird cloud only console type deal. Just asking bc i feel like theyre focusing more on PC and handheld especially with the new Ally colab

[fiery python]

They already confirmed there's going to be a new console.

They wouldn't be going all in with AMD and claiming the biggest technological leap if it was a cloud device.

[marsh ivy]

What do you guys hope to see added or changed in the new console?

[fiery python]

Better controller haptics and gyro

[pliant kestrel]

lowkey if they added the dual sense haptics into the new controllers that would be sick

[fiery python]

Even Switch has it, so it's about time Xbox got on that train.

[pliant kestrel]

I had the Series X for a brief period around the time infinite came out and i already felt like it was a top tier console. sold it tho bc i wanted to test out PS for once

so i really dont know what else they could add

other than the updated controllers

[marsh ivy]

How was your experience with PS?

Like compared to the Series X

[fiery python]

It does't always have to be things that get added. They can improve existing things.

Smarter handling of quick resume, improved controllers, better hardware to allow for more consistent 60fps instead of adding support for 240fps, that kind of thing.

[pliant kestrel]

I think PS was a good switch becuase ive always had an Xbox and at the time they had more exclusives and the new controller but i think xbox is just more convenient now becuase of all the different ways you can play

and game pass is way better than PS plus

[marsh ivy]

I’ve noticed that as well, the FPS can sometimes be inconsistent

[haughty trail]

wsg yall

what do i get if i boost

[fiery python]

Nothing

This is a verified server, so doesn't need the boosts.

[haughty trail]

oh aight

do the give out gamepasses here

[twilit wren]

I think the question is if its gonna be the last one

[fiery python]

Only trial codes for new subscribers.

[haughty trail]

how do i become a new subscriber then

[pliant kestrel]

i mean both questions work, i was just asking because of all the news ive been hearing about them downsizing their game devs and how theyre not really focused on the console wars anymore (correct me if im wrong just stuff ive been hearing through socials and stuff)

[twilit wren]

Yeah good point tho, they should focus more on pc

But definitely they will do a new console

[tired hare]

370 attepts on melania. Pls help. Im fading

[twilit wren]

I mean, they not focusing on console wars because there are rumors that it will be the last gen

[pliant kestrel]

if it really is the last gen that would be crazy fr

[twilit wren]

Yeah

[pliant kestrel]

not sure if you saw earlier in the chat, but rn i have a ps and was wondering if itd be worth it to switch back to Xbox but atp do you think i should just get PC? kinda best of both worlds with Xbox PC support and PS exclusives going to PC more frequently now

[twilit wren]

Xbox and ps5 are wayyy more affordable than pc, but if you have the money then pc is a good choice

If not

Consider trying to have both consoles

[pliant kestrel]

yeah facts, thats what i did initially but once i got done with Halo infinite i was like tbh i could just play 90% of these games on ps which is why i ended up selling.

But if They start making bethesda games exclusive and bring back a GOOD halo then maybe ill hop on board

[twilit wren]

Fr, I hate halo infinite because items are so mad expensive for no reason, but I still play it at the day

I have a pc but I don’t use it for games

[pliant kestrel]

FR like it wasnt a bad game but idk it just didnt hit the same

multiplayer was fun too but the way they had customization at first wasnt it. idk if theyve changed it since

[twilit wren]

They sayin it will be another new halo but this time a remake of combat evolved

I should be hyped buT considering that 343 is working on it, I reduce my expectations LOL

[pliant kestrel]

bro thats fr the sad part. Once bungie left it was alright and then 343 was doing Ok but between 4 & 5 it went downhill

theyre not even 343 anymore

i think most people left or got laid off

and now its just halo studios

i think

[twilit wren]

You know what? Bungie did a great job with halo but in my opinion if he continued doing more halos I think they would messed up more than than 343 considering destiny is trash

Otherwise they loved doing halos

Unless like 343

They don’t put passion on it

[fluid blade]

I mostly now blame everything that is bad or a setback on Microsoft and how they handle the franchise

Always has been since the CE development days

[twilit wren]

Thats true tho

[fluid blade]

They crunched the devs to push a product out before the Xbox shipped and even worse for Halo 2

[true swan]

Sup

[pliant kestrel]

HAHA thats true, ive always liked destiny from a gameplay standpoint but i feel like it was waaay too live service for me, like i played the first one and that was good and then played the 2nd when it first came out and stopped and tried getting back into it this year

[twilit wren]

Microsoft fires employees every day like it’s they’re lunch or hobbie

[pliant kestrel]

and i was like wtf is even going on

and then just never touched it again

[wild mica]

hi

[covert gorge]

true

[twilit wren]

What could be happened is that without halo, their passion got lost

[wild mica]

hola

[cerulean basin]

Morning y'all

[twilit wren]

Prolly the most accurate explanation

[pliant kestrel]

facts and then now all the drama with marathon

sad to see the legends die lmaooo

[fluid blade]

I feel like if Halo was free from Microsoft or doing their own thing we probably get a lot more bang for our bucks like how GamesWorkshop does with Warhammer

You can get multiple studios to do contract works of creating spin-offs or various projects

[twilit wren]

Samee

[cerulean basin]

It's always difficult to know.
All paths can potentially lead to a bad game.

[covert gorge]

gm!

[pliant kestrel]

ive never played the warhammer games but seeing the latest one they dropped made me want to try. i know thats not the main gameplay style tho

the main line is more strategy based right?

like xcom

[fluid blade]

I think so

[twilit wren]

Lol, I mean, everything has an ending at some point no one will play halo not because its bad, its because its old

Idk if I explained well

[pliant kestrel]

nah i get you

[cerulean basin]

I'm pretty confident Halo can reclaim a lot of its popularity, but it won't ever be again what it was in the Halo 2 and 3 eras

And that's got nothing to do with Halo itself. It's just how gaming franchises move through what's hot at the time

[pliant kestrel]

i think if they brought back the ODST style and made it more hardcore that would be so fun

or reach

[red wedge]

Warhammer 40k games are great action games. Darktide and vermintide are really good

[twilit wren]

Yeah, you know what, what ill say is my opinion but fanbase ruined it more than 343, most of the fanbase are old people in the franchise and they want it to be an arcade game and don’t want to evolve

[pliant kestrel]

bet bet, i gotta check them out

[red wedge]

Space marine is good too and the first one got remastered and is on gamepass.

[pliant kestrel]

the space marine lines are more of the FPS ones right?

[cerulean basin]

We've also seen well known franchises that didn't have gigantic playerbases (but still were considered more than great) suddenly explode decades later with a new entry

[red wedge]

Theres another on gamepass forgot the title but its like classic turn based strategy. Hear its good, only tried the prologue. Those games confuse me a lot of the time. 😅

[red wedge]

Its kinda mix of fps and melee hack n slash

[finite walrus]

yeah bc a cloud console could literally be powered by some crappy Celeron lmaoooo

[pliant kestrel]

Has Helldivers dropped on Xbox yet? that was one of my top recently

[finite walrus]

August

[pliant kestrel]

good for just messin around with the boys

[twilit wren]

@pliant kestrel so you considering getting a pc?

[red wedge]

Yea helldivers 2 coming to xbox is fantastic

[twilit wren]

Im uninformed, is it from psn?

[red wedge]

Yea

[pliant kestrel]

ive thought about it here and there but the price is definitley whats holding me back

[haughty trail]

how to become a new subscriber and to what?

[twilit wren]

Hahahah what im sayin, but you can save for it

[red wedge]

It then came to pc and now coming to xbox with full crossplay and cross save.

[cerulean basin]

You'll have to be more specific

[haughty trail]

someone said if your a new subscriber you get a trial code or something

[pliant kestrel]

i think yall would like hell divers its fr one of those games you can just hop into without knowing anything and have fun

and then once you understand everything it gets even better

[red wedge]

Yea my kind of game.

[twilit wren]

Anyone plays cod?

[pliant kestrel]

i was grinding BO6 up until season 2/3 and then it fell off for me

[haughty trail]

me

[red wedge]

I don't know if i'll get it on release yet though still ways off and money gets spent quick on rl xd

[twilit wren]

Do you know if vanguard coming to game pass

[red wedge]

But plenty of other games to enjoy untill I pick it up.

[haughty trail]

i dont play it oftenly so idk

[twilit wren]

Lol

[pliant kestrel]

i think i saw a rumor that all the previous cods are going on gamepass

[red wedge]

Mostly why I'm so behind on getting anything newer. Always playing an older or see a few on sale and get those instead xd

[twilit wren]

Yeah they doin it, but only the classic ones

[pliant kestrel]

ohh fs

[twilit wren]

Idk if new ones

[pliant kestrel]

i never played vanguard, i think i skipped for Battlefield that year

big mistake lol

[red wedge]

Xbox server does not discuss rumours. Its against their rules.

[twilit wren]

They recently put cod ww2 but they quited it from pc because hackers lmaooo

[pliant kestrel]

WW2 was lit

[pliant kestrel]

my bad!

[twilit wren]

Bro my grammar recently is bad because I deactivated autocorrect function

[pliant kestrel]

honestly, new games are so expensive

[twilit wren]

Im from spain btw

[red wedge]

I try to use it when I think of it and mine still bad so no worries! 🤣

[pliant kestrel]

im not excited for when every developer tries to charge 79.99 bc nintendo did it

[cerulean basin]

Oh hey! I'm going there later today, taking a flight to Barcelona at 3pm

[twilit wren]

Feel you 🥲

[cerulean basin]

It's not just because Nintendo did it. It's because game development costs have continued to go up, while game prices have been the same for very long, even with inflation going up.

[red wedge]

Truth. And so many im interested in playing are on gamepass and comes to the service so I usually don't buy a new title unless its one that just really got my interest.

[twilit wren]

Great, how many days

[cerulean basin]

2 weeks, I'm actually FROM Spain, but I don't live there anymore

[twilit wren]

I recommend you to visit mallorca if you have the chance

[twilit wren]

Oh

[cerulean basin]

So I'll be visiting my sister in Sitges and my grandparents in a small town near Zaragoza

[pliant kestrel]

my bad if this is a stupid question. but what Actually makes game dev so expensive?? aside from the marketing budgets. because im assuming all the devs are on salary and using their own inhouse computers and stuff

educate me lol

[red wedge]

Another game coming out today on gamepass and I was just now checking out abiotic factor which just released other day. Lol

[finite idol]

guys i have a xbox pass code but i dont have a paypal to redeem it so can any one help me on please?

[twilit wren]

I hate nintendo

[finite idol]

even though my parents do not accept to use thier card

[fiery python]

No one can help with that

[finite idol]

...

[fiery python]

You need a payment method. Either one of your own, or your parents. That's the only solution.

[finite idol]

prob is that they are not here

[twilit wren]

Only option is to ask to your parents

[fiery python]

So wait until they are.

[finite idol]

i live alone

[fiery python]

Then get a payment method if you live alone. You'll need one in life.

[red wedge]

Installing wukong fallen feathers now. Excited to play it. 🙂

[finite idol]

i got cash only

[twilit wren]

How do you not have paypal while living alone

[finite idol]

and im 14

[fiery python]

Go buy a Game Pass gift card from a store then.

[cerulean basin]

Developers and their time.
People ask for bigger and more high quality games.
Take animations for example:
Whereas a game in the past could have worked with about 600 animation, nowadays games have THOUSANDS of them. We don't just make a character go from idle to run. They slowly start their pace more naturally and pick up the speed, blend animations nicely as you jump, have tons of variations for each weapon, have facial animations, lots of NPCs... all of that keeps costing more and more

[finite idol]

cash

[twilit wren]

Oh I know why then, sorry

[fiery python]

You've been told your options. No point discussing it further and going in circles.

[finite idol]

nvm

[cerulean basin]

Also in-house computers still need to get updated. You can't keep making games on the same aging hardware. You also need to buy devkits for many on the teams. You gotta buy all the software licenses on a yearly basis for Maya, Photoshop, Mudbox and more

[haughty trail]

do u get free trial codes if ur a new subscriber and subscriber to what?

[cerulean basin]

What do you mean subscriber to what

[haughty trail]

what do u have to subscribe to

to get a free trial codes

[cerulean basin]

If you subscribed, you are paying already. You don't need a trial code.

[pliant kestrel]

cool i get it now, thanks for explaining!

[cerulean basin]

If you haven't subscribed yet to Game Pass ever, sometimes there's free trial codes handed out in #xbox-game-pass, but they get claimed fast

And they don't always include console

[haughty trail]

oh snm

[pliant kestrel]

isnt game pass only like $20?

[cerulean basin]

Less depending on which one

Heh, and these days I can now mention more than ever just how ridiculously expensive it is to make animations for games in both 1st and 3rd person 😛

The motion capture sessions alone are eye-wateringly expensive

[pliant kestrel]

oh im sure the motion capture is $$$$$$ especially with how advanced it is now

[magic axle]

just setup that playnite for all my games saying total of 4224 for my digital pc games

[cerulean basin]

Not just that. The prep work, the actors, it all adds up

[pulsar elbow]

Is it normal for anyone to sometimes not being able to see a message even though the person sent it on xbox

[pliant kestrel]

good points, i am enlightned now HAHA

[cerulean basin]

I've seen projects go upwards of $2M USD just for gameplay motion capture animations alone, not even including the many more it costs to do cinematics!

[red wedge]

Crazy

I wonder how long it will be untill the cost out weighs the gains.

[pliant kestrel]

would you care if they started using AI alot more in games, like instead of having real VA's and stuff. From a dev stand point i could see how it would benefit them bc they keep their costs low, but from an employee standpoint it defintiley sucks bc thats money they lose out on

[red wedge]

For these triple A titles.

[cerulean basin]

LOL that would immediately cause strikes all over

[vagrant mica]

Not every game needs to be a massive open world

[pliant kestrel]

what did Ubisoft say, Quadruple A title 😂

[cerulean basin]

I will forever keep ignoring that AAAA statement 😛

[red wedge]

I wouldnt mind good a.i in games for like npc pathing/interactions and such for inmersion.

But I don't think a.i should replace actors.

[cerulean basin]

But yeah, I think you only need to see the budgets of modern games to see why someone who has to worry about development costs would classify it as AAAA, even if how it was said was absolutely ridiculous

[vagrant mica]

That game didn’t even do well lol

[pliant kestrel]

honestly i agree, lately ive been wanting shorter games because when i play open world games now i feel like i just rush through them and dont get the full experience just bc Real life is busy yk

and you better believe im searching every corner of the map lmao

[red wedge]

Soon that will be the normal then well be calling the next thing Quadruple A lol

[cerulean basin]

Voice actors in games can serve more than just delivering lines. They can be fantastic for publicity, people recognize VAs in games, they also do motion capture themselves in many cases, etc.

[red wedge]

I feel like I do that a lot even when have free time. Instead of exploring some random spot on the map or roaming for a while. Or checking out side quests I often find myself heading right towards the next objective.

[pliant kestrel]

not sure if you guys are familair with this story since this is an Xbox chat but thats how the kratos actor is for god of war like hes one of those actors that puts everything into the character from his real life experiences and it just adds so much to the game itself

[red wedge]

Its really magical when you see an actor you love come to life as a video game character

[cerulean basin]

Well people here play games on plenty of platforms, not just Xbox 😄

[pliant kestrel]

like i think he said that acting as kratos showed him what it meant to be real father and helped him fixed stuff with his fam which then went back into his acting in the game

[red wedge]

Hopefully he wasnt as broody and stoic as kratos lol

[vagrant mica]

I think Richard Schiff was a great VA for Odin and Nathan Fillion was a great VA for Cayde-6

[red wedge]

I love nathan fillion.

Rewatching his tv show the rookie currently.

[vagrant mica]

Yeah, I recommend the Rookie

[red wedge]

Want go back and plau halo odst soon too. He was good in that.

[pliant kestrel]

everytime i hear/see nathan fillion im always like where do i know this guy from and then i saw a video lastnight of all the stuff hes done and i was shocked and then i figured out i knew him as Buck in ODST and i felt so dumb after

[pliant kestrel]

you beat me to it lmao

[pliant kestrel]

should i start watching it? ive always heard things about it but have a hard time sticking to shows

[vagrant mica]

I really like it. I binge watched all 7 seasons in a month

[cerulean basin]

Hope it's fine with the voice over in Spanish (I was editing this video for a school in Spain), but here you can see some clips of the voice actors and the motion capture actors in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Always love watching the comparison shots between the studio and what you get finally in-game.

[red wedge]

Holy crap wuchang going be a long play through. It has 4 endings. O.O

[pliant kestrel]

i love watching these too

[red wedge]

Just going chill with it blibd first playthrough see if I like it first .(Probably will. 🙂 )

[pliant kestrel]

is it similar to wukong??

[cerulean basin]

The voice actor for the character Teylan is amazing. He also does a lot of Twitch streams, so whenever new content drops for the game, he's the first one playing it out of his own accord 😄

[red wedge]

Don't know. Suppose be like a action rpg with china mythology theme.

[pliant kestrel]

oh yeah i just looked it up and it looks similar, im sure itll be fun

idk about 4 play throughs though, im a one and done when it comes to games

i just end up looking up the other endings

[cerulean basin]

And the actor for So'lek loves his character so much that he keeps sharing the comics the character stars in

[red wedge]

Well that just if you want to see those endings and get the achievements as well. Just optional stuff

[pliant kestrel]

when the Va's are like this its so good, like it just adds another layer to the game

[red wedge]

I appreciate multiple ending in a game though if it didnt cost them time and development and robbed the game of a good ending

[pliant kestrel]

its defintley cool seeing different endings in games, especially if you and your freinds get different endings bc you always have thay "Wait wtf?? i didnt get that??" i personally just cant replay a game, it sucks

[pliant kestrel]

have you played the game? it looked interesting when it came out but wanted to wait for it to hit the sales and then i forgot. i saw that theyre adding the 3rd person view though so that brought it back to my radar

[wild mica]

?

[cerulean basin]

I worked on the game 😛

And still do

[fiery python]

Definitely need to get that LEGO set

Love it! So glad to see it has two of my favourite GB games with it too.

[finite walrus]

me when i setup a dev drive so Windows Defender will stop trying to slow down my file transfers

my poor HDD is crying already Defender, dont drag it down more 😭

[red wedge]

So far game looks fantastic. Kind irritating me that I cant find a button to sheath my weapon though xD

Im so use yo sheathing weapons. Being stuck holding one forever is odd.

[magic axle]

I have real one

[lunar igloo]

@wanton willow

[hearty plinth]

Not anymore. Now on series x and pc

[hearty plinth]

U actually using an hdd not a ssd?

[fossil orbit]

Anyone played Ready or not?

[ember escarp]

@steel flame does

[ripe pulsar]

Has the gamepass bug been fixed yet?

[ember escarp]

????

[lime arrow]

bug what bug ?

[ember escarp]

what gamepass bug?

[ripe pulsar]

The one where It cant let you play online even tho you have it

[ember escarp]

i play online

[ripe pulsar]

Idk how to explain It to you

[steel flame]

Yes, i play Ready Or Not.

[ember escarp]

i think i know what your on about

but i think it's your acc rather than gamepass itself

[fossil orbit]

how is it?

[ember escarp]

it looks good

[fossil orbit]

there is none

[lime arrow]

Log out and log in again that fixed it for me the one time it happend

[steel flame]

It's actually a really good game, quite fun too.

[ember escarp]

not me that has the issue

[ripe pulsar]

Wdym

[fossil orbit]

is it replayable?, as in fun to do so.

[steel flame]

Yeah, it is replayable.

[ember escarp]

who plays construction simulator 3?\

[fossil orbit]

usually with these games, atleast for me i play the mission once or twice and then well ive seen everything there is to see

[steel flame]

The enemies do not stay in the same place so word of advice is to check every corner. You can carry up to 9 Chem Lights during the mission.

[ember escarp]

The Chem Lights is so you can marked cleared rooms btw

[fossil orbit]

Are the enemies spawning in the same place?, or is it randomized

[steel flame]

Randomised.

[fossil orbit]

Okay, appreciated

[steel flame]

No problem.

[lime arrow]

Yall should play monster hunter

[twilit wren]

Broski

Kumalala kumala savesta

[shadow moat]

Anyone watch South Park?

[finite walrus]

i know a fix

i had the bug

(literally on day two of owning the console)

[ripe pulsar]

What Is it

[finite walrus]

let me give the steps its a bit of a longer process

1. Goto the account with GamePass, go into settings and Search "Home Xbox", uncheck it.
2. Goto Settings, Console Info and reset the console while keeping all apps and games
3. Sign into the primary account you play on and the account with the gamepass, keep them both signed in, do not sign them out
4. With both accounts signed in, from your primary account (or any account without gamepass) proceed to open all of your games while keeping the account with gamepass signed in
5. Play online multiplayer from the account without gamepass andd there u go

(You'll get the prompt to re-enable Home Xbox on the account with GamePass when re-logging into it, don't worry this isn't counted as a switch)

[ripe pulsar]

Thanks Will try this later

[finite walrus]

np lol

[soft moon]

[desert sonnet]

[autumn plume]

yo i been on p5 for a while but idk if i shoudl switch to xbox or not people saying it better for 2k

[finite walrus]

I switched to Xbox coz gamepass

and i do not regret it lol

my PS5 used to sit in a corner unused but with the Xbox its used all the time

[autumn plume]

what benefits r there though

that u have noticed after switching

[finite walrus]

Quick Resume is amazing.

[fiery python]

Quick Resume is the one big thing I miss when using my PS5.

[finite walrus]

im in love with Quick Resume

[autumn plume]

hmm

[finite walrus]

i have like 12 games on Quick Resume rn

i dont even know how i did that

[autumn plume]

im mainly leaning over bc everything is so much cheaper like the gamepass to js play online is way cheaper

[fiery python]

There's a set amount of space available for QR. If the games you have running are fairly small, you can have a lot paused.

[autumn plume]

anything other than quick resume

[finite walrus]

if u have Verizon u can get gamepass for free

*only if u were a customer before July 12th tho

[autumn plume]

^? @finite walrus

[finite walrus]

full Edge, more nieche of a thing, but having a full blown web browser on the console is very nice

esp if i wanna display web content on my tv

[autumn plume]

i meant of more of a game perspective

what games do u play

[finite walrus]

Black Ops 6, RDR 2, GTA V, Palworld uhhh

[fiery python]

That's really something for you to decide based on what you like.

[autumn plume]

hows bo6 and gta compared to p5

[finite walrus]

OH BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE TITLES IS THE MAIN REASON TOO

GTA 4 in 60 fps is amazing.

oh and RDR 2 runs at native 4K

[autumn plume]

hows bo6 and gta v compared to ps5 jimdude

[ripe grotto]

Pokémon sword and shield have the brightest UI ever!!

[finite walrus]

no difference bruh

theyre literally major games

there will be no difference

[autumn plume]

ye bro i aint switching then

[finite walrus]

besides quick resume on GTA V

💀

[autumn plume]

thanks though

[finite walrus]

while ur popping in $60 remasters of classic games, im gonna be going to the game shops and getting $14 copies of the games :D

[fiery python]

When it comes to major AAA titles that are multi-platform, you're going to see very little difference - unless you compare to a PS5 Pro, of course.

The key differences come down to the exclusive titles and the services/features offered on each platform.

[autumn plume]

i dont really play those kinda things i just play cod 2k and fortnite bro

[autumn plume]

ahh ok, thanks man

[hearty plinth]

is there an premium upgrade for outer worlds 2 for game pass subscribers like how they did starfield and horizon 5?

[fiery python]

There more than likely will be one.

[hearty plinth]

thanks

[finite walrus]

i have been up for so long

over 48 hrs wweeeeeee

[quiet comet]

I think if ur wondering about switching from ps5 to Xbox, don't. Literally the only benefit u get is gamepass and what it offers u. Beyond that there is no difference. Not to mention game companies now focus more on sony and nintendo rather than xbox

[finite walrus]

not even true remotely lol

so many game companies are going to continue to support Xbox

[hearty plinth]

source please?

[finite walrus]

and theres so many more Indie titles on Xbox its amazing

[autumn plume]

only benefits im seeing is 2k being less laggy and gamepass being cheaper, controllers being cheaper etc

[finite walrus]

ive been playing My friend pedro too, i got it for less than $5

i acc got it free thru MS rewards

oh i even got GTA V free from MS Reward points stacking

its amazing

[hearty plinth]

i used to do that but i have been doing gp ultimate 3 month redemptions lately

[finite walrus]

i get free gamepass so yk

i have like 3 years stacked of gamepass now

[hearty plinth]

what ultimate?

[finite walrus]

yup

i will never need to worry abt gamepass

[hearty plinth]

i need another like 9 months to hit 3 years

[desert sonnet]

I should stack up too

[finite walrus]

my friends who all have Verizon donated their free codes to me LMAO

and i stacked them all

i just looked and they ended the promo entirely

so good thing i got in on it before they ended it

[hearty plinth]

the mobile service or the inernet thing?

[finite walrus]

it didnt matter if it was fiOS or mobile internet

u just literally needed an active Verizon account

[hearty plinth]

i just got fios a week or two ago lol

[finite walrus]

damnnn u were too late

they were literally handing out 1 month free codes to every single customer

it was under myaccess tab

the other week they also gave me a $20 Amazon gift card

they were just giving them for free

[quiet comet]

Can't believe I missed such a good promo for free ultimate

[finite walrus]

ikr

and they werent like trial codes or anything so yes i stacked them

[hearty plinth]

i converted last month til june 2027

[fiery python]

I'm currently stacked on Ultimate until May 2028, but I have a 12 month code waiting to add once I'm down to 2 years. So I'll be set until May 2029.

Plus another 3 months probably to add on top of that when I get the Xbox Ally, as that will probably come with 3 free months like the other Ally devices do.

[lusty crow]

And here's me, just letting it automatically renew every month cuz I'm too lazy to buy codes and stack them.

[finite walrus]

hey atleast if ur card declines MS is really generous with the grace period

theyll give u almost a month for free

[lusty crow]

We have a specific budget every month so there's literally no chance of it declining. lol

[trail harness]

unless you do what I did, lose your wallet and have to get your card replaced

[ripe grotto]

Just beat Pokémon Shield with only bug types

How it’s time I go to Alola to beat it with only Dragon types and become the greatest dragon type Specialist of the region

That’s my time with the switch beat both games that are mainline on it

Actually most of the games I will be playing are on the 3DS lol

[meager yacht]

so many games on the game sale i just bought the turok bundle for 23$

[ripe grotto]

Now then I’m glad to be back on my 3DS XL

[meager yacht]

nice i was playing it the other day

[ripe grotto]

Can’t wait until I play the Pokemon X for the first time

[meager yacht]

i hear the ds games are the best

[ripe grotto]

BW2 and USUM are in S tier for me

Oh and HGSS

Can’t forget my boy Scizor’s Region lol

I should actually rank all mainline pokemon games in a tier list

heres my actual tier list

[desert sonnet]

Where is Pokemon Stadium

[ripe grotto]

This is just mainline games

[desert sonnet]

And where is Pokemon Snap

[ripe grotto]

These are just mainline!!

😂

[desert sonnet]

[ripe grotto]

Sorry

[hazy oracle]

My friend asked me to forward following question:

What exactly must happen so that Crash Bandicoot franchise would get its original identity back? Or who in the world could possibly make that happen?

[south beacon]

from what I know about the community, I thought most people didn't like Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby remakes on 3DS compared to the original on GBA

[south beacon]

currently unknown. Since TFB separated from Activision a while ago. Anyone is possible to work on a series like Spyro or Crash Bandicoot

Pokemon games are confusing to me

[hazy oracle]

You mean even a small indie team or bunch of hobbyists can apply to Microsoft or Activision to make official Crash Bandicoot games?

[south beacon]

Specifically stuff like the rereleases, dual releases, and other stuff

[south beacon]

it's always possible. But chances are someone with a lot of credits behind making platforming games.

At the very least, Activision finally made THPS 3+4, after it was originally cancelled

[hazy oracle]

What's that?

[south beacon]

Tony Hawk

[hazy oracle]

Uhuh?

What my friend wants is that Crash Bandicoot franchise would get its original identity back and Toys For Bob isn't responsible for it.

[south beacon]

Originally, THPS 1+2 was going to include 3, but due to budget and time constraints it was just 1 and 2 in the collection, but the studio was working on a 3+4 collection to make up for it. It got canned immediately when the studio was merged with Blizzard to work on the Diablo series

[south beacon]

Honestly I can't speak on what Activision plans to do with all their non-COD IPs. Just that Phil Spencer is interested in bringing many of their IPs back.

[hazy oracle]

The identity in question was originally established by Naughty Dog, so it takes a dev who respects that identity to re...

[hazy oracle]

Phil Spencer, eh?

Is he still a CEO of MS?

[south beacon]

Naughty Dog has changed over the years. They have Jak and Daxter, and I don't know if they have any interest in making another entry in that series

[hazy oracle]

That's why it takes other developer who genuinely respects Crash-franchise as Naughty Dog established it instead of wanting to ruin and tarnish it like Activision's dev companies did (including TFB)

Anyway, does anybody appear to know Phil Spencer's email or other contact info?

[tired hare]

Chat I need help with Xbox rewards

I deposited 7 dollars for a game right

Now I needa pay a remained 16 cent tip

😭🙏

[fiery python]

No one can help with that.

[tired hare]

How can I get 1.3k rewards points

[fiery python]

Do general rewards things. Buy something.

[tired hare]

Alr

@fiery python is that bob from bob's burgers

[fiery python]

Yes

[tired hare]

[desert sonnet]

Oh man that latest South Park episode was something

The end especially was hilarious

[fiery python]

I need to get caught up on South Park

[ripe grotto]

No they’re one of if not the best remakes of all time

[desert sonnet]

I'm still not a fan of their approach to seasons nowadays but I kind of hope they continue this story line

[vagrant mica]

Is it even on any streaming platforms

[desert sonnet]

Idk but random people that showed up on my Twitter feed somehow helped

[steel flame]

Not just that, you can do Microsoft Rewards and you can do stuff to boost your points more.

[vestal rose]

Alguém fc 24?

[fiery python]

Which is the 'general rewards things'.

[south beacon]

I thought TFB did a good job with the IP. The trilogy was successful. and Crash 4 probably was, but there was a problem in terms of releasing it for PS4 and Xbox One first, and during a period when the next generation consoles dropped and saw a huge library of games come to it (Spider Man Miles Morales is one such game)

[south beacon]

I thought HeartGold and soulsilver were

Either way, Pokemon is a community that I do avoid specifically. It's too big.

[hearty plinth]

How long has it been going? 20 years?

[south beacon]

26

Maybe longer if you consider the earlier versions of the show in the early 90s

some real dedication there

[tired hare]

Hey i wanna to ask something, can you get arrest for downloading game for xbox "ultimate"

[desert sonnet]

And they're getting paid for this new season

I think I read that it's a hundreds of million dollar deal

'South Park' creators reach $1.5-billion streaming deal with Paramount - Los Angeles Times https://share.google/jH3Uy0ws7az0x1Hem

Nevermind. It's a billion

[trail harness]

that is a lot of money

[valid pendant]

rephrase that ;-;

[placid harness]

decided to begin 100% all achievements on a game i own

[tired hare]

@valid pendant alright sir

[slow mango]

[hearty plinth]

Which one?

[placid harness]

nfs payback

[hearty plinth]

Gl.

[south beacon]

it's possible, but it will take 50 hours

if you are good at racing games, then yeah

I would like to complete CTR Nitro Fueled, soon as I actually obtain a copy of the game for PS4 (and the trilogy while I'm at it)

[placid harness]

i actually bought and played the game in january

[south beacon]

heheh, I'm screwed

I tried NFS Unbound

That one is pretty annoying

[hearty plinth]

Just brought alan wake 2 with expansions last night

[south beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/sam-lake-alan-wake-2-alan-wake-max-payne-face-gif-17902173910221051017

I platinumed that game recently Rumbly

[placid harness]

got 2 achievements so far today (defeat big sister in a drag race and equip a full set of chidori parts)

[south beacon]

it was my 26th.

The Lake House is probably one of my favorite expansions for a game

That expansion really bridges the game with Control

Meanwhile, guess what I'm almost done platinuming

https://tenor.com/view/jesse-faden-control-video-game-gif-15652036

[valid pendant]

control?

[south beacon]

The games I managed to successfully complete this year so far:
Forspoken, Alan Wake 2 (base game, both DLC expansions, and Final Draft), Stray, Oblivion Remastered, Grounded, Control, and by this weekend Paper Mario TTYD

[placid harness]

i have 100% all achievements on 2 games so far: road 96 & nfs hot pursuit remastered

[south beacon]

I mentioned I wanted to get 10 games finished by the end of the year. I would like to push it to 12, and also include a couple of expansions and NG+ trophies for games I already finished

after this set, I'll have four remaining.

I'm very specific on the games I want finished

[placid harness]

i'm also close to getting the crew 2 complete

[south beacon]

so on top of getting 4 more done, I want to manage to finish a NG+ playthrough for one game (which will likely be either HZD or Spider-Man PS4), and two trophy lists (Astro Bot will be one, the other might be either Valhalla DLC for GOWR, or Ascension for Returnal)

of the 4 games, Outer Worlds 1 is definitely one of them

still debating what the other 3 could be.

whichever I have the most progress in

Maybe Halo 2, then next year I want to get Halo 3 and 4 completed

I want to do something very linear of a completion. Conker I guess?

I need an inbetween after Grounded. a non RPG.

[valid pendant]

lol am i the only person that played most of this in a random june and had no idea what was going on half the time

[south beacon]

https://www.videogamer.com/news/sony-acquires-stake-elden-ring-publisher-bandai-namco/

[lusty crow]

I got it for free on XBox years ago and I've barely played it. I really need to get back into it, but if you follow along with the story, it's not that confusing.

[south beacon]

same here

honestly, I got a lot of free games specifically from Xbox in recent years, and I have not touched any of them lol

Though Metro 33 is a recent one I have SOME interest in trying at some point in time

[valid pendant]

i was lol and i was confused on tyler till i realized what was really going on i dont remember if thats his name

[south beacon]

Suddenly I just remembered I was looking for Lords of Shadow

[lusty crow]

I bought the entire Metro trilogy along with all the DLC for like 10 bucks. lol

[valid pendant]

i got metro free

[south beacon]

I have a friend who is angry at me for "starting Tell me Why" and not really going through it

I called the game boring, and not my cup of tea

Where are the high stakes?

I want more action

[lusty crow]

If you like Life Is Strange, you MIGHT like Tell Me Why. lol

[valid pendant]

it was interesting it just felt slow for me

[south beacon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH4MEtmyDNA

[valid pendant]

i liked life is strange

[south beacon]

Sums up my conversation with them

[valid pendant]

i havent played much cuz i havent bought the rest of the episodes but i like it

[south beacon]

but I don't. I have no interest. Detroit, kind of, but the game is spoiled for me, so why bother?

[lusty crow]

Detroit: Become Human was my first platinum trophy.

[south beacon]

I mean if you do take a peak at my library of games, a common genre you'll find is specifically action

[cerulean basin]

Aren't those games deceptively chill but with lots of high stakes?

[south beacon]

I don't actively play visual novels, but while I like deep narrative experiences, I like something intensive

[valid pendant]

plan on playing that maybe when i get another xbox

[lusty crow]

Isn't Detroit a PS exclusive?

[south beacon]

it's also on Pc, snark

[valid pendant]

tell me why seemed more like a linear game to me

[south beacon]

but yeah, it's PS console exclusive

Tell Me Why, this game is so boring

[valid pendant]

ngl i dont even know i have it on my steam wishlist i thought i saw it on xbox

[lusty crow]

Nah, it's definitely not on XBox.

[south beacon]

🎵 Ain't nothing but a heartache 🎵

[valid pendant]

when my friend asked me what i was playing and i said tell me why

[south beacon]

ok, that's the last time I'll do that. I got warned for mentioning that song a few months back lol

[lusty crow]

It might not be for you, but I definitely didn't find it boring. Then again, I like LIS style games .. I'm working my way through Lost Records atm too, which is an amazing game, but the collectibles annoy me.

[south beacon]

maybe I'm a guy that likes to enjoy skill base games

really? just stop.

if it didn't work the first time, why bother the 35th time

you could either participate in the conversation, or just don't

[south beacon]

Collectibles can be annoying

When there's an overabundance, yeah.

[valid pendant]

LIS?

[south beacon]

I did like how big Death Stranding is, yet the collectibles for that game are actually a short list to find

if anything, you're efforts are less on looking, more on playing

[valid pendant]

i stg especially when they make it an achivement i hate feeling like i have to go out my way in story games

[lusty crow]

I love the Batman games, but the true ending in Arkham Knight being behind the riddler collectibles made me basically give up on trying to 100% the game.

[valid pendant]

this is what road 86 did right collectables was an achivement but they was easy to get because you'd find one every time u make it across the border or die

[valid pendant]

started it never made it far

[south beacon]

Ghostwire Tokyo. hehehehe. That made me rage on collectibles

Ghost of Tsushima had a lot, some where hard to track even with hints and all, because they were well hidden white icons on a cream white background

[placid harness]

just cause 3 pissed me off with collectibles but at least all locations are revealed on the map once you liberate a province

[valid pendant]

ghostwire tokyo lowkey tuff never got to play much

[south beacon]

most games do that

[valid pendant]

nfs unbound collectables was bearable cuz i bought the key thing

[south beacon]

Grounded is probably the most difficult one to deal with directly on your own

This one here

[clever hill]

gn

[valid pendant]

lol im gonna try solo it cuz i got no friends 💀

[south beacon]

The game doesn't tell you which collectibles you DIDN'T get apart from a number that you have gotten, and the locations of the ones you did get

[valid pendant]

gn

[south beacon]

But thankfully, there's alternatives to unlocking this one

So I'm going to cheat on it

I already got 100 milk molars

[hearty plinth]

I did that in less than 2 hours via shared save file

[south beacon]

i got most of the acheivements on my own, it's possible, but the game is a headache

Good luck with the bosses

Especially the Infected Broodmother

Embrace your inner Dark Souls. hehehehe

Or more like DMC 5 Vergil

[molten rapids]

can someone help me my headset works on one side only on xbox but on pc works on both does anyone know any fixes

[lapis ferry]

I found some Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts themes on sale. Is it possible to buy them?
