You can more easily discover game hub content from activity feed items. You’ll see activity feed items when any of your friends follow a game,
and you’ll also be able to get back to a game’s hub from activity feed posts related to the game – including feed items about the game’s achievements,

We’ve added a link to game hubs from the game’s page in the achievements app.

MKX on my Birthday.

Steverulez · Apr 1, 2015

Good OP as usual!

Not much for me this month, I might get Stealth Inc on Friday and I'm definitely in for State of Decay.

Hopefully Shovel Knight does make this month and I'm still waiting for Lifeless Planet.

malfcn · Apr 2, 2015

MKX and possibly ACC for me.

Doukou · Apr 2, 2015

Don't post a lot in here but I always check it out, thanks.

Newlove · Apr 2, 2015

Is anyone else not getting the video showing on the Twitch app? It has only really started happening recently. I'm in the dash preview. I's just blank space.

Hans.Gruber · Apr 2, 2015

Great thread!
But it looks like this month I won't get any game.
Too bad the Witcher 3 got pushed to may

smurphdogg · Apr 2, 2015

This is a fantastic thread! This might be off topic, but I don't know where else to pose this question, if you know of a better place help me out.

Now that Broadband has been redefined by the FCC as 25 Mbps (http://gizmodo.com/fcc-redefines-broadband-to-bring-you-faster-internet-1682516928) and considering the decision for broadband as a base requirement for Xbox Live on the OG Xbox was a critical part of its success (http://www.polygon.com/features/2013/11/11/4849940/xbox-live-millennium-e) do you think that Microsoft should consider upping their requirements for Xbox Live either soon or with their next console?

I'm no expert, so I have these questions. Would it make it easier for developers to establish stable P2P or Server based connections if they didn't have to worry about users with lower speeds? Could multiplayer games see larger more rich experiences with a much higher minimum bandwidth?

Thanks so much.

Anyone gone for RBI? Curious if it's any good - can't find any reviews at all...

malfcn · Apr 3, 2015

Sounds like Pool Nation is a clunker, at least Child of Light looks good.

Not bad. Have to see if I'm good, I think so. Have an empty case full of codes and cards.

I am having this issue as well.

jond76 · Apr 4, 2015

Since UFC and Channel 9 apps kinda just popped up unceremoniously on the 31st, I thought I'd mention they were out.

malfcn · Apr 5, 2015

Welp, the video fur Twitch worked today. So who knows why that big happens.

I'm in a slump right now. No games I really want to play. There is a back log, but it's strange turning on the 360 now.

Since I had the season pass for Watch Dogs, I'm playing that. After that, perhaps the Unity content. By then I hope to have something, maybe MKX.

Then there is all the Mass Effect content I have bought, but never played. And Revengeance, Blacklist, Witcher 2 etc..

malfcn · Apr 9, 2015

Looking at Stallion83, found three games this month.
We are Doomed, Project Root and Infinity Runner.

I'm in a bit of a funk, too. Just finished up Game of Thrones E3, which I enjoyed, but now there's not much to play. Guess I'll go through Halo 4 in MCC, play some Lego Marvel and some Sniper Elite 3.

Really hope we get a Shovel Knight release date soon. I also really really want to hear more about Rogue Legacy.

dskillzhtown · Apr 9, 2015

I am probably only going to get State of Decay this month. Really looking forward to it. With that said, I have been playing Hardline pretty much daily since launch and now I have started Neverwinter.

malfcn · Apr 9, 2015

Anyone else seeing more "ads" on the main dashboard now? I have one for Dora on Amazon.

backflip10019 · Apr 13, 2015

I'm enjoying the additions to Geometry Wars 3. They added a ton of adventure content which makes the game feel new and fresh. Also finally beat the Topaz boss after trying for several hours over a few days. That guy was a real sonofabitch.

Looking forward to Goat Sim and Shovel Knight later this month. Also hoping for some info on Rogue Legacy.

Don't know if this is the right thread, but I've got a weird 360 hardware issue. Got a severely damaged (I'm sorry, "very good", grumble) copy of Akai Katana Shin from eBay today, when it's running it occasionally makes horrible sounds, I immediately ejected it. I'm playing Mushihimesama Futari (disk is in great shape) and I hear no weirdness.

Is it possible the noise is actually the disk somehow and not the disk tray that's damaged? Will playing the disk damage my drive/disk? This is a Japanese (and limited edition, Reach style) 360 so I don't really want to risk it getting damaged.

If it is playing other discs silently, I think it'd be back to continue letting it making noises. Can you install it to the HDD?
We have no room left on our 360, so during a party we popped in our Lights, Camera, Action game. It made noises (but never used to), but other games were silent. We decided against playing it just in case.

Also, May preview is going out today.
But it says no new features, just ground work.

backflip10019 · Apr 14, 2015

Goat Simulator is out on Friday, April 17th. Not sure about price.

My Xbox One has a bad drive. Had problems installing Mortal Kombat. Lovely, since I've had nothing but problems with this replacement. And that the warranty expired on it.

malfcn · Apr 22, 2015

IHeartRadio app dropped the other day.
And done indie titles today.

Seraph_Nicholas · Apr 24, 2015

So, I'm out to sea with this issue... Any 360 hardware experts here?

My room mate's xbox just stopped connecting to networks. The odd part is, both wired and wifi connections are disrupted. We've reset the router, taken the xbox to new locations and tried there, factory reset the 360... Nothin' doin'.

My gut says this has to be a software issue, as both the LAN and WiFi modules are affected, but I'm not at all familiar with 360 troubleshooting. Googling only shows me Microsoft troubleshooters for connecting. Halp?

Even I have been poor at following this thread.
Did your problem ever work itself out or get fixed?

Daigoro · Apr 30, 2015

Afraid not, though we don't have home internet atm, so it's something of a non-issue~
