Just waiting for the release for the first content drop.

Just noticed that the game that Amazon Orange County(double helix) was making got cancelled about a month ago. I’m not a big fighter fan but I’m told their killer instinct game is fantastic.
Maybe amazon would sellthem to Microsoft?

I think it sold very well, especially for a platformer on a non Nintendo console and when you consider that Metascore...

I agree I think for the scale and budget of the game it sold enough to be considered successful and I enjoyed it when I played at launch, I do think it scored a bit low on metacritic but it did arrive shortly after Super Mario Odyssey so that probably played a part and I would probably add another 10 onto it's score to make it a 75 or so for my personal score.

They have surprised me with the DLC's dropping though as I never expected any.

My gamerscore recap for April is short

Sea of thieves - 34 achievements for 400G

Master Chief Collection -  21 achievements for 185G

I'm replaying Witcher 3 and I'm about to start the end of game missions, Isle of Mist. I collected all Gwent card and only missing four, 2 in Velen and 2 in White Orcade. In my second playthrough I started marking the places I won a card from with a blue dot and the places where I couldn't win, I marked with a red dot. Unfortunately there is a limit to the marks on the map and I couldn't continue doing so.
Is there an easy way to find those missing cards? I won't visit every village on those two regions, AGAIN!, to try to find them.

April was my worst month for achievements in ages, thanks to Sea of Thieves :P

Sea of Thieves - 18 achievements / 250G

The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy's Grand Adventure - 1 achievements / 70G

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham - 3 achievements / 60G

i don't think there's a way to find exacty where the 4 cards you're missing are.

The best option is to google a list of all the cards and their location in White orchard and velen, check to see which ones you already have and then go get them.

Velen is a big place but white orchard is small and has very few cards to get so it shouldn't take that long.

When you find the ones you're missing, make sure to save before you get it because sometimes the achievement doesn't unlock, If that happens reload and try again.

I was just going over the upcoming changes when Xbox rewards merge into Microsoft rewards.

https://rewards.microsoft.com/explore/xbox-to-ms-rewards-myvip

Says you get 10 points per £ spent and then your currently MyVIP level will add more bonus points until the end of 2018.

Did a few calculations using my current VIP rank of 2 which gives 40 points per £ spent along with the 10 baseline totalling 50 points per £ spent and presuming I'm on the right track/maths purchasing a standard new release at  £44.99 game will give you 2250 Microsoft rewards points, Sounds pretty nice to me.

For those who have the max level 5 VIP rank that would give you 110 points per £ spent and from a £44.99 game a massive 4950 Microsoft Reward Points.

For reference a 3 month Game Pass redemption is 17,000 points.

Xbox Rewards > Microsoft Rewards FAQ

There will still be the pre-order punch cards and monthly missions and offers like the current Xbox reward programme offers but they will give you Microsoft reward credits now but not sure how much, I've always liked the Xbox reward system and value you get back through digital purchases especially when stacking offers can give big savings and it's by far the best around so hopefully it's still as great once merged into Microsoft Rewards.

It’s possible that the multiplayer spinoff for halo isn’t what we think. I think it’s possible that it’s halo 6 versus in 2018 and Hali 6 campaign in 2019 couple reasons why I think this is possible-

- if halo spinoff is 2018 and Halo 6 campaign is 2019 than it will fragment the community.

- 343 has yet to ship a feature complete game in 3 years. All of a sudden they are supposed to ship 2 in a 4-5 year period? I know they staffed up but I still doubt it.

- multiplayer for 6 should be completable in 3 years. Campaign obviously needs more time.

- works better for gamepass. Have the mp release in December(away from rdr2) for 40$. Pump dlc all the way till the campaign is released for 30-40$(Alternatively u can buy both for 60 at this point) doing this would help their lineup for each year.
