Looking forward to playing Just Cause. It's my kind of stupid video game fun, but just a little too stupid to directly pay money for.

So I got the Mass Effect Legendary Collection and I’m not getting my Microsoft Rewards for it. I had activated the punch card prior to buying it. Whom do I contact to get this fixed and my 6000 points?

The new batch of FPS Boost titles hit. There's a lot. https://twitter.com/xbox/status/1389251517782183941?s=21 Highlights for me include Far Cry 5 and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I'm sure a full list of the new titles will be out soon.

Fill in the form with details, I've never had to do it so good luck.

Ineffiable posted:Current rumor is Alan wake may get a remaster so it can be on Playstation consoles to help tie in with Control. Could be why it's getting removed too. It is extremely heavily implied in the Control DLC that there's new Alan Wake on the way, too. So I could see something like a remaster to promote their next new game that will probably be a sequel to both Alan Wake and Control.

Tomb Raider and Division 1 are the most notable for me, didn't honestly think they were going to go back and offer improvements on so many earlier iterations of games.

My series X is really muddy on my Samsung 7 TV -- noticeably so from my other consoles. Is there a setting I'm missing? Seeing others are having similar issues on other TVs. The Diddler posted:Have you done the TV calibration? My Samsung TV was pretty unimpressive until I did it. I did the calibration on the system. I'll check for the UHD per port. Might factory reset the TV and try again. I oddly noticed because Peggle 2 looks really muddy. Snacksmaniac fucked around with this message at 20:44 on May 3, 2021 |

MS was busy trying to get stupid rear end Games For Windows Live off the ground and once they said no, Sony didn't exactly do anything to further cross-play as a concept other than sit on their own balls like Mr. Belvedere

I wish xbox studios had released like a single hype game since the tail end of the 360 era so that they could have stayed more even in sales but i'll keep waiting for e3.

Kinect launched very strong and Sony was competing with the Move, so it became clear the strategy for both was to try and prolong the generation with each of their respective peripherals. Probably a big reason why the PS4/Bone generation got started like it did is because the Move failed and Sony had to realize that strategy wasn’t gonna work, whereas Microsoft didn’t even have reason to draw that conclusion. That plus the big success they saw with putting media apps on consoles with the 360 made the Bone’s strategy logical, in a way. I do kinda miss the HDMI in port.
