Day 2 on Everspace 2. Must have just been grumpy and learning the game yesterday. Its definitely pretty cool. Getting a hang of the flight options and navigating the menus. Gotten to see some cooler space vistas and abandoned stations. I definitely see some similarities to Starfield now and some things they could learn from this game.
Story is pretty much incomprehensible still. And the music can be super cheesy at times.

I don’t get why it’s not all on there. They keep talking about Xbox on every screen. But maybe that just means some of Xbox lol. But why does it matter if you’re paying. You should be getting it all if you have an ultimate subscription. But EA does the same.

Well it looks like Dead Island 2 is on GP properly now!

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Still worried it’s a mistake and they’ll pull it.
Well, not worried but you get the idea.

Started up Return to Grace and got more interesting story in 10 min than my 30 hours in Persona 3 so far. Supposedly the game is just 2 hrs. Seems pretty interesting so far. Really cool premise.
Update: beat it in 1 sitting. Really enjoyed it. A solid 8 out of 10. Very minimal gameplay, pretty much all story. The writing and voice acting are pretty great. Shocking how you manage to develop an emotional connection in such a short period of time.
Never heard of this studio before so I looked them up. Looks like they made that blind RPG The Vale that was on Gold. Might have to play that soon.

Played about 2 hours of Lego 2K Racing or whatever its called. It starts heavy on the tutorials and excessive dialogue but once you get to just drive around it's a pretty impressive game. Graphics are nice and tons of objects and vehicles are fully destructible into lego pieces. Your vehicle automatically switches when you get on different terrain between car (roads), ATV (off-road), boat (water) automatically and they handle a bit differently. You also get some Mario Kart style items to use. It plays out like a Forza Horizon game almost. Large open world maps with quests and races to pick from or drive to. I don't know if I'll stick with it but it's clearly well made, I just don't really like the Lego brand and some of the menus are a little too complex for an arcade racer and they drag down the pacing.
Also been playing Hotwheels 2 and honestly it's probably even better. It's not better graphically but the sense of speed is definitely more pronounced. Played about 10 races and specialty objectives and a boss. Even has some saturday morning cartoon style cutscenes. It's pretty good.
Good time to dabble in some arcade racing while playing other stuff.

Absolute cheapest: MS Rewards (Free but if you're starting from scratch, it'll take some time to build up points)
Cheapest bulk conversion: Get 3 years of Gold / Core codes and convert them to GPU. You will get a 3 : 2 conversion (i-e 3 years Core will turn into 2 years Game Pass Ultimate).

That's 3:1 no? You mean 2 years?

Do you happen to have the link where you can convert them?

Yes, good catch. 3 years Core will turn into 2 years GPU, my mistake.
You don't have to go to any specific page. Once your Core / Gold is loaded, just buy 1 month of Game Pass Ultimate (it's $1 if it's your first time) and it'll tell you that it's converting the rest of your Core stuff to Ultimate and how long that lasts.

Is the maximum time still 3 years or 2?
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Max you can load up is 3 years in most of the world, they recently dropped it to 1 year but only in some countries like Brazil, Turkey etc where people were farming the cheap codes.

MS might have quietly reduced it to 3:1 it seems:
So you can't buy 3 years of core to convert at 3:2. If you buy more than a month to convert it means you only get 3:1 conversion which is kind of shit. I suspect they did this because the 1 month of core has no discount compared to buying yearly. Be careful how you do this

and calculate the best method prior to buying anything.

The conversion in that answer is something that happens if you have on-going GPU and use Core / Gold codes during that.
The 3 : 2 ratio is for when your GPU has lapsed (like
Spyxos
's is about to in 2 days).It's better if he lets his current GPU lapse before doing the conversion, doing it right now will get him fewer days.
The full conversion tables are listed on this page:

Just finished the Quarry. It's not a gamey game at all, even the QTEs are almost impossible to miss unless it is intentional. A decent little horror story. If you like Until Dawn and things like that, I'd give it a go.

You should post a link. I can't see anything in your post, some browser setting I've set is blocking the embedded content.
In the event that there are other idiots out there that are unsure of how to correct this problem, direct links or screenshots help to fill us in. LOL

Another absolute gem I would have never noticed had it not been for GamePass.
No wonder AAA pubs hate GamePass, it’s loaded with little A/AA games that retail for $5-30 and shit all over their AAA $70 titles

This is one of my routine games I play for the Rewards console stuff. I appreciate the accessibility options that just make you feel like an overpowered mofo.

Cdkeys has 12 months of gamepass core for $39.69, I’m thinking of finally doing that conversion trick to get two years of ultimate, if that’s still possible.

If you don't have an active sub, that is a really good price. 2 years of core + 1 GPU (you can even get a cheaper price than retail for that on CDKeys or Eneba) and you get 2 years GPU for < $90 or so.

I'd buy these now to stock up but they probably expire at some point.
adamsapple
Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I wouldn't say expire, but these grey key resellers will probably resell the same key to someone else after a few weeks. Only get it from them if you're redeeming at the same time.
