Overwatch Is Free To Play On Xbox For The Holidays

With access to all of the maps and heroes

Hope Microsoft buys Blizzard next. /jk

I'm not gonna play this game again until Overwatch 2 comes out.. burnt out on the first one and have so many other games to play.

That being said i would laugh my ass off if Microsoft bought Blizzard because Mike Ybarra left MS and joined Blizzard and seems anti-microsoft these days on twitter.

I've just splurged lots of cash in the Xbox store. Some very good deals on there. I've sold all of my physical media and my plan in 2021 is to go ALL digital. And I'll not buy games on launch anymore - I'll wait a year or so and pick them up in these sales.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I imagine the quick loading might improve the experience quite a bit, but I can't remember how much loading was in the game initially.

A LOT, and long ones at that. I played through the Witcher 3 + 2 DLC with my wife on PS4 Pro before I hooked up an SSD to it - trust me, it was not a pleasant experience. You can start now for the SSD alone, and maybe leave the 2 DLCs for next gen patch?

 

[Elpidio Valdés]

My Xbox Series X has just shipped. It should arrive on Saturday the 26th. I thought it was getting here on January 12 but maybe that date was a placeholder. I'm super excited! I can't wait to get it.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Halo 5 campaign is garbage.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Thinking about buying Prey Deluxe Edition but it should be coming to Game Pass and I have GPU till July 2023. Moon crash will probably not be a part of GamePass, right?

 

[Concern]

AC Valhalla is $35 @ best buy for anyone interested.

I just bought me 2 games off the gamefly sale. Maneater and UFC 4.

 

[silentstorm]

Well, i doubt Microsoft could do worse than Warcraft 3:Reforged and the new Diablo does look suprisingly good, but i doubt they will be bought.

But if MS bought Blizzard and forced them to do an actual Starcraft Ghost game, MS would be awesome as hell, or something unexpected like a Rock And Roll Racing 2 game or even Lost Vikings 3.

 

[JORMBO]

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Still one of the best FPS campaigns ever, included with Game Pass Ultimate

[Neko Mimi Mode]

After CP2077, I'm not sure how anyone can be upset at another year in the oven for this game

I did the digital shift last gen and haven’t looked back. I also don’t buy on launch 99% of the time, and when I do it’s usually do to hype and I regret it. I wait, pick it up on sale and it has all the patches and fixes figured out.

I made the digital shift too though i DO still have a LOT of games on the shelf i haven't converted over yet... and when i go look at my shelf of games sometimes i'm like dang i wish those were just digital. And then i'll go log into my Xbox and see my digital games and think crap what happens if i lose access to these in the future somehow? Would be nice to have a physical backup, even if it's just a cheap disc in a sleeve.. haha

 

[CatLady]

Well that's unfortunate. This makes me sad, it will probably run like crap on the base X1 and Halo will wind up getting the same kind of hate CP2077 is currently getting. I think they should just make MP cross gen and make campaign for Series X/S only.

It’s way too late for the game to have been in any substantial way improved by cutting last gen. The only way it makes sense is if the last gen version runs poorly, which I see no reason to believe. Gears 5 and Forza Horizon 4 ran very well on the base console, I’m sure 343 can do the same.

 

[Godzilla Emu]

After seeing the thumbnail of John Linneman's Digital Foundry YouTube video, I realised that I haven't even taken the shrink wrap off of my copy of Streets of Rage 4. I decided that it's time to fix that.

So my Christmas Eve game is SoR4 along with a quality glass of scotch. Good times.

Happy Christmas Xbox GAF, all the best in the New Year! Hopefully we can all score an Xbox Series X at some stage in 2021

 

[Mr.ODST]

Yeah Happy Christmas Xbox GAF!

Seriously cant wait to see what MS has in store for next year, even though we know we cant see the full power till 2022 going to be some good titles until then!

 

[silentstorm]

Merry Christmas everyone, anyways, i liked Streets Of Rage 4 but only really beat it once, how is the newest Battletoads game, is it any good?

 

[Banjo64]

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Did anyone notice how incredible co-pilot is for playing with your kids and SO? I’m shocked this feature is not being advertised alongside Quick Resume.

I've actually always said it's weird they don't advertise this. I use it to play puzzle games with friends instead of passing a controller around.

I did a youtube series as well where each person controller one side of the controller.

It's a really neat feature.

 

[Bernkastel]

Gears 5: Hivebusters Has Some ODST Flavor, and It's the Best Experience Available on Series X Yet

The Coalition's Gears 5: Hivebusters is the best experience Xbox Series X has to offer so far, with a tinge of Halo 3: ODST in it.

Merry Christmas everyone, anyways, i liked Streets Of Rage 4 but only really beat it once, how is the newest Battletoads game, is it any good?

I played Battletoads all the way through with my kid and really enjoyed it. I just let myself enjoy the style and sense of humor and walked away having a lot of fun with it. Beat ‘em ups aren’t my normal game but Battletoads mixed in a ton of different level designs and mini games. It was a weird ride but one I’d recommend.

 

[Bernkastel]

 

[CatLady]

Merry Christmas to all my XBros (and girls) and a happy gaming New Year to all!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Christmas? That's not very inclusive

What is this co-pilot thing you are referring to?

 

[quickwhips]

What is this co-pilot thing you are referring to?

It's awesome. Two controllers to control player 1. So if you want to play with kids like my 5 year old I can do the difficult stuff but he is still in control. Example in shooters I aim and he pulls right trigger to shoot. But I do active reloads in games.

You will enjoy it greatly. XSX has an awesome tier D-Pad (click noise aside) so now whether you play 2D games on XSX or PS5 you will not be missing anything. Depending on the day I prefer it to the DS’s DPad and some days I prefer the other one. I cannot understate how big of a leap from their OG Xbox and Xbox 360 D-Pad this is. Bitching at companies works .

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

The best deal in gaming and it's not even close.

Happy Christmas XboxGAF!

OMG - How much do I LOVE the Game Pass twitter account. Rivals fake Kaz as the best account on that shite hole.

Xbox Game Pass on Twitter: "Presents are just loot boxes IRL" / Twitter

WTF - why doesn't the actual tweet show up???

 

[T-Cake]

I'm like a pig in mud since picking up my Xbox Series S. The sheer volume of titles available for GPU will keep me occupied throughout the whole of 2021 easily. Poor PC isn't even going to get a look in now.

Oof the replies are full on salty. (Par for the course there though, to be fair)

Damn, there were only a few replies when I first saw that tweet, I laughed my ass off and had to post it. Just looked now and I have to ask; can people not take a fucking joke without losing their minds?

I found it humorous and apt as well. Unfortunately even on Christmas it seems most of the internet has a collective stick up it’s ass.

Honestly, if i was in charge, i would absolutely get Brutal Legend 2 or a reboot to be made, also more Adventure games, finally get Full Throttle 2 to be made and released at least.

Yes please, especially on the Full Throttle 2!

It's awesome. Two controllers to control player 1. So if you want to play with kids like my 5 year old I can do the difficult stuff but he is still in control. Example in shooters I aim and he pulls right trigger to shoot. But I do active reloads in games.

Is it possible to use the extra buttons for other features. For example. Could I bind the 2nd controller buttons for my windscreen wipers and to move my seat in Asseto Corsa as there is not enough buttons on one pad to do everything and its a case of having to pause adjust seat back and forth until its right when it would be nice to do it of the other pad.

 

[Banjo64]

Anyone know why the cross gen version of Cold War doesn’t have the S|X enhanced logo on the game tile?

 

[Gerdav]

Anyone know why the cross gen version of Cold War doesn’t have the S|X enhanced logo on the game tile?

It does, I suspect you are playing the One version, the game is not smart delivery there will be a completely separate version in your full library you need to download.

 

[Banjo64]

It does, I suspect you are playing the One version, the game is not smart delivery there will be a completely separate version in your full library you need to download.

So I bought the regular version, and then later bought the £4.99 cross gen upgrade.

I don’t have 2 separate SKUs in my ‘ready to install’ list, just one. When it’s installed, it says the ‘cross-gen upgrade’ is installed also.

Sorted it, have to go through the store page for the £4.99 upgrade, ‘included’ and then select from there. Cheers

《ぎゃる☆がん りたーんず》 Xbox One版発売中止のお知らせ​

2020年12月25日


本日は、Xbox One版「ぎゃる☆がん りたーんず」の発売中止をお知らせいたします。

「ぎゃる☆がん りたーんず」は「ぎゃる☆がん」（1作目）のプレイ体験を忠実に再現する事をコンセプトに開発をして参りましたが、Xbox One版のマスター審査中にMicrosoft社と実りある議論をした結果、全プラットフォームで一貫したプレイ体験を確保できないことが判明しました｡

その結果、発売日までの日程を考慮し、Nintendo Switch版、及び、PC(Steam)版に注力することを決定致しました。

Xbox Oneで「ぎゃる☆がん りたーんず」をプレイする事を楽しみにしていた皆様におかれましては、落胆を禁じ得ない状況であることは承知しておりますが、何卒、ご理解頂けますと幸いです。Xbox One版を楽しみにお待ち頂いていました皆さま、及び、関係者各位に深くお詫び申し上げます。

弊社は継続してMicrosoft社と協力しつつ新たなタイトルを開発する予定です。今後の発表にご期待ください。

"Gal Gun" Notice of discontinuation of Xbox One version

December 25, 2020


Today, we are announcing the discontinuation of the Xbox One version of "Gal Gun".

"Gal Gun" has been developed with the concept of faithfully reproducing the playing experience of "Gal Gun" (1st work), but the master examination of the Xbox One version After a fruitful discussion with Microsoft, it turned out that we couldn't ensure a consistent playing experience on all platforms.

As a result, we have decided to focus on the Nintendo Switch version and the PC (Steam) version in consideration of the schedule until the release date.

For those of you who were looking forward to playing "Gal Gun" on Xbox One, I know that you can't help but be discouraged. I hope you understand. We deeply apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the Xbox One version and everyone involved.

We will continue to work with Microsoft to develop new titles. Please look forward to future announcements.
