I voted on the poll but don't think I actually made a post on it so..

I voted "I will subscribe now" presuming that doesn't literally mean right now but more of a I will be subscribing now for sure by the time 20th March arrives at the latest, For what I would spend on first party titles this year alone will fund me 2 years of Game Pass as I would of bought Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2 and Forza Horizon 4 day one for sure, Crackdown 3 was 50/50 on if I bought at launch or later down the line and Ori if that makes 2018, Them games combined add to around 2 years cost of Game Pass using physical prices and closer to 2.5 years worth if taking the digital price. And that is only the stuff we know of.

January gaming summary:

Halo: The Master Chief Collection - 42 achievements / 470G

The Turing Test - 15 achievements / 1000G

Star Wars Battlefront II - 16 achievements / 410G

Halo: Reach - 34 achievements / 570G

Life is Strange: Before the Storm - 12 achievements / 400G

Assassin's Creed: Origins - 4 achievements / 150G

Gears of War 4 - 6 achievements / 70G

Total of 129 achievements and 3070G. A good month playing some great ass games :) For those who played Battlefront II how do you like these new game modes? I think Galactic Assault just doesn't play as well as Walker Assault did unfortunately. I'm still not sure about Heroes vs Villains but I think I prefer the old mode. Blast is excellent and that's what I've been playing the most even though I usually don't like non-objective modes. Campaign was boring and the writing was awful but visually it's very impressive. Overall a solid online shooter, I'd rate it 8/10.  



300k is good for a closed beta. Also RDR2 is releasing too close to CoD Bo4 IMO.

So Halo Wars 2 shows in the “recently added” section of Game Pass but always tries to charge me $31 to download it, anyone else having this issue?

https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/7uhtu5/shouldnt_halo_wars_2_be_free_with_game_pass_is_it/

Try the workarounds in there.

 

Thanks, this worked. Hope no one bought it on accident.

Also, anyone who hasn’t played it, check out Shadow Warrior on GwG. Amazing game!

That API leaker is now saying it's likely that the second Halo game ID that he found is MCC, essentially this updated version will be a separate client, for Xbox Live they're basically two different games.

I always figured that's what it would be, or an expansion for 5. 😔 just got to wait for 6 now.

 

I figure crackdown should be out by June/July. Which will leave only forza horizon 4 for fall/holiday. Battlefield/COD/ rdr2 area would be death for a first party title. I think fh4 should be mid August and one other AAA game should hit late September. Only game that I can see having a chance for that is halo 6. And even that seams highly unlikely at this point.

meh month, I'm somewhat interested in SAO, probably will get once it goes $20



now that's a good bonus for season pass owners. Though I probably wouldn't play FC3 again. Amazing game, but having finished FC4 and FC Primal not too long ago, then playing FC5, I would probably be sick of the series for a while.



February looks a fairly decent month overall I'm looking forward to SAO Fatal Bullet and Dynasty Warriors 9 and decided on SAO for the poll. Owlboy and Fe are on my radar for purchases later down the line and darkest Dungeon could be a double dip for me at some point as it's an amazing game :)

I'm also interested to see how Metal Gear Survive turns out it actually look quite good in the most recent trailer and it's launching at half the normal price of most games so if it ends up looking decent I may have to grab it, Infact I think other than UFC and Gravel all the games in the poll will very likely end up in my library at some point.

CyberConnect2's self-published Trilogy of Vengeance games are full multiplat, coming to XB1/PS4/Switch/PC. I love the fact that XB1 is finally starting to get a good number of Japanese games.

I wonder how big this game are. To be honest i thought  they would all be mobile games when they announced them. The art definitely looks good though.



Right now I'm sitting at rank 3500 on the pubg solo leaderboards for US. I know from friends positioning that's out of 2.5 million or more, maybe 3 mill. I was about 100k last weekend. Now I'm steadily climbing.

Funny story while I was in a party chat with my cousin we ended up in the same solo game on accident. We may or may not have teamed up and nearly won.

 

edit I'm now 3256. I wish more games(mainly halo) had leaderboards. Both skill level boards and experience based.
