My year was a little worse compared to 2020. About 120 achievements and 13k Gamerscore less.
However, that's mostly due to me playing less crappy 10-30min 1000G games and more lengthy RPGs instead. A clear indicator for that is my TA ratio in 2021 which was only 1.55.

Getting really frustrated with Halo playlists and challenges.. I've had two Strongholds and one BTB challenge for days.

BTB doesn't work atm and after around 20 quickmatches, not a single Strongholds game. Mostly Slayer which has its own playlist. Ridiculous.

I don't even try with game mode specific challenges and swap it unless it's one with a dedicated Playlist. BtB is broken so I stopped trying with those.

State of Decay 3 on UE 5 is very exciting. Take as much time as needed to fix out the bugs ffs. I'm hoping the jump is going to be quite noticeable then. 2 was fun with friends (lame excuse) that story was terrible. Literally laughed when playin with Noble, "wtf, is this it?"

Wow, this Halo weekly ultimate challenge is bullshit. 5 splatter kills when Big Team Battle matchmaking barely works and only 2 out of 7 Arena maps have a vehicle on them? Damn 343, do you hate us? Think I'm skipping this one, leaving on a trip in the morning and I don't think I can get 5 splatters tonight. I don't even think I could get 5 splatters if I put in like 2 more hours tonight and 4 hours tomorrow. 

Fortunately, their ultimate rewards basically always suck, so…who cares

I'm surprised Samsung are still pushing Tizen with their TV's it one of the reasons I moved away from them and one of the worst UI's I've ever used it makes the Microsoft Store/Xbox app look like great design.

Microsoft sure is slow with xCloud...They have a partnership with Samsung too, lol.

Stadia is still technically better in every way too - Res, framerate, etc.

It's not really surprising when you consider that Jez mentioned on the last podcast that xCloud is hitting server capacity at peak hours. He said himself...what's the point of adding a TV app or whatnot right now, giving more people access, if that access then doesn't actually materialize because there's a waiting que?

Why does Azure have a waiting queue though? I don't really see this for other services, is xCloud simply that much more popular or is it something else? Azure is huge, 2nd only to Amazon and Google is a distant 3rd so why is Microsoft struggling with capacity.

Ontop of that, it's still running at 1080p (I think?) and is overall the worst performance of the 3 major services (Stadia, xCloud and GeForce), it's odd to see Azure which is such a powerhouse, losing on everything except library.

Wouldn't really be surprising if xCloud is a lot more popular than the other gaming streaming services, but idk...
