Played ARK for about 30 minutes.

I punched a dinosaur. It chased me into the water. I died.

It was awesome. Will be buying.

I played around 30 minutes, found a campfire with 5 peeps around it, I knocked out a few, ran away, came back and knocked out another, then did it again before they got tired of my bs and killed me with a spear. Good stuff. Everyone was talking, everytime I came back I hear "o god Ema's back', 'she's back", "get that b*" (I played as a female). I won't be doing that if I buy it, but since I only had a hour trial, Just wanted to get a quick feel for it. :)

Haha niiiiiice. Yeah I did the same just ran around hitting shit and trying to figure out how the game works. Tried to ride a dinosaur but that didn't go well.

Yes, yesterday. The publisher went bankrupt.

Ops, glad I got it in its last sale. Is there any other game from the same publisher?

I have the game on an external HDD. I am not home at the moment but I can unplugg it later, the game then should show in my ready to install list (without worring about deleting it).

First Xbox One delisting 😢

Foul Play, Pool Nation and Serious Sam 3 on 360 are gone too.

In my country (Japan), MS pulled Thief when GwG started, and someone who purchased it said can't re-download it. So I'm curious if it's just with Thief here or not.

Foul Play didn't just launch on PS4? Well I have all 3 games on my 360.

But something says me that the Xbox One works more like Windows Phone (when it is gone it is gone) than Xbox 360.

I remember Sherlock Holmes was pulled off from our Brazilian Store for a while and I could not redownload it unless I change the console region to a marketpkace that have the game (it wasn't showing on my ready to install list).

So... Do not delete Spectra, since no market should have it now.
 
Spectra's installing without issue. (unplugged my external, UK region)

and it plays fine... apart from those sodding barricades that get placed at the top of the rises.
 
Sad news about Spectra's publisher. The development team is still OK? Or is it one and the same? Even though the barricades were cheap I really enjoyed the game. Also went out and bought the soundtrack. That really sucks.

I hated everything about Spectra other than the soundtrack. It could easily be a muuuch better game. But shame about Foul Play disappearing from the world!

Mastertronic was the publisher that went tits up and Gateway Interactive are the devs, two separate companies. They haven't announce anything about a new project but they've shown Spectra at a few expo's post launch, most recently the Insomnia56 event last weekend.
 
6180 the moon is brilliant. Great puzzle game and only 4 dollars. Nice soothing relaxing music. Very simplistic art style, story and concept but it works.
 
Now you can buy Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One store (US at least). There are half a dozen already listed on the store (release dates put them in the end of the list), but if you use the search function, all should come out.
 
Correcting myself: 360 games are on Xbox One, but now they are back to "bundle only". Yesterday night they were working... They are changing things...
 
Three Fourths Home is not good. I think some gaffers in this thread even said so too... =/

I'll have my full thoughts later once I finish off the 1000/1000.
 
For Three-Fourths Home:

Okay so I've finished off the main game and epilogue. I won't call the game horrible. But two things really annoyed me. Number one, my right index finger hurt/ached playing the main game. Having to hold RT to drive like that for so long was annoying. I like the idea that you can only continue the conversation with your family while driving but I would've preferred an easier way to keep the car going. And in the epilogue, the stick figurine representing the main character is hideous. And the sound design in the epilogue... also hideous - way too quiet.

Having said that, I love the visuals and sound of the main game (not the epilogue). The black and white minimalist art style along with the soothing rumbling thunder and throwback music was great. I love that the main character was female, and I loved the subject matter (daughter living away from home, distant from her family emotionally, failing at life, work, romance and school, insecure about her accomplishments... it really hit close to home).

And Benji's (main character's brother) short story during the main game was incredible. Loved reading about The Beast.

I'll play through both main game and epilogue one more time to get a full feel for the game, and I'll make sure I read through all of Benji's short stories before I pack this away for good.

I think this game is worth the experience. It's not overpriced at 5 bucks. The concept is cool but holding RT to drive hurt my god damn hand, and the epilogue is devoid of life (no sounds, no music, ugly stick figurine). The game is worth it for me in the same way Beyond Eyes is worth it - I want to experience more games like this, short quirky indie titles that are more about the experience than game play. It can't be stressed that game play is horrible in games like this and Beyond Eyes, but... I still feel compelled to play through games like this.

I never played Killer Instinct, but with January GwG I might try. About the Shadow Jago Pack, is the KI Gold used for anything, if I might get both season Ultra pack at some point?

You can use it to buy XP boosters or to unlock customization items early. I wouldn't recommend the latter though personally, way too expensive.

Hopefully the tasks would work now.

Any tips on leveling up? I have on the armor that gives 50% extra souls and XP, play every day and play a lot, and still only level 42. I must be missing some trick to level up easier?

They improved the troop screen, combined the invade and defend tabs into a PVP tab, removed the attacking animations, made the pre-battle screen a lot nicer to organize your troops and such....lots more changes but those were the ones that stood out

Other than play a lot, no. I am also using the armor with 50% bonus, but it takes more than 10 battles to raise a level.

I am at level 82 at 71 hours mark (according to the game hub). I play mainly invasion until I reach tier 1 and then kingdoms quests. Already beat 16 kingdoms with multiples quests each (sometimes a second quest appears after you beat the boss), 1 kingdom left and one did not appeared yet.

Thanks! Okay at least it seems I'm not missing anything. I also noticed one kingdom doesn't seem to appear for me...maybe you need to beat all of them for it to appear(?)

I *think* I might finally cave and get Never Alone with the DLC...worth it for $7.50?
Click to expand...

In my opinion it is. The story and the way it's told is really, really great. The only negative is that sometimes the game can feel a bit clunky, especially in the latter half, but I'd say it's absolutely still worth playing, even more so now that it's on sale.
 
I got Stick of Truth, which was on my wish list. Can't way to play it.

I also got Don't Starve, Fable II and Fable III.

Bummed that MS didn't put the ROTR season pass on sale. Even at $20 I would have bit. I'll probably just buy the Baba Yaga DLC standalone.

Also, if anybody wants a shot at winning a high dollar game, we're streaming and giving out Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate tonight on Twitch: http://www.windowscentral.com/warrio...ltimate-stream

Not to burst this bubble, but for Xbone it's like $12 in store at Best Buy right now... if your store still has copies. I nabbed it for $10 since I have GCU and was getting super sucked in until I got Destiny. Highly recommend it, buying it if you don't win it!
 
This might be old news but Tiny Troopers Joint Ops is coming to Xbox One with new content, was just PEGI rated and I found this on their website:

In Tiny Troopers Joint Ops, you’ll take control of miniature marines as you battle evil foes from around the world with a multitude of weapons and specialist soldiers. Collect medals, dog tags and Intel during the course of each mission. With hours of gun toting explosive gameplay, Tiny Troopers Joint Ops is miniature warfare on a massive scale!

Key Features include:

Over 60 action-packed mini-maps of mayhem including Zombie Survival Mode with online leaderboards!
Recruit specialist mercenaries such as Medics, Machine Gunners and the Elite Delta Force to subdue enemy insurgents!
Twin-stick arcade control system to blast your way through waves of enemy rebels.
You can also experience the ALL NEW Xbox One Exclusive Zombie Wave Maps where the desert-dwelling dead are descending in droves to devour you in “Operation: Zombie Storm”, fight back against a flock of poultry that ain’t paltry in “ZFC”, cruise and clear the airfield of cantankerous cadavers in “Zombie Patrol” or call in help from the skies whilst facing endless waves of Zombies in “Z-End”.

If you think you are tough enough, try the Brand New Ultra Hard Mode – all complimented by a brand new cinematic soundtrack completely Exclusive to Xbox One!
