XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

[Belgium]

I'm a big fan of the Gamepass as well. I gameshare with a good friend so we split costs 50/50 for games, dlc or services we both want. I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of the gamepass.

Think I'm currently nearing the endgame in Sekiro.
Beat 25 mini-bosses so far and 7 bosses.
Currently stuck on

Spoiler: (Mid-late game and story spoilers)

Owl boss fight at the top of Ashina Castle Apparently there's way more difficult bosses coming up later

Realizing that Sekiro gives me real anxiety

There is nothing more unnerving than entering a new area knowing that some BS can pop off at any moment. When it comes to games From Software has legitimately created a genre and game experience of their own.

It wont let me buy the gamepass and i keep getting an error. The payment will go through but then ill get refunded.

[dakingii]

I definitely suggest you guys sign up for Microsoft Rewards. You can basically earn Gold/Gamepass subscriptions for minimal effort. I just set my default search engine to Bing and I do the daily quizzes. I'm at 40,000 points in a few months.

Similar experience here
There was one recent moment in particular that caught me off guard in that way and I knew I should've seen it coming.
Sekiro can definitely get you shook at some points. Some of the encounters with Headless and that haunting music had my heart racing instantly, regardless of whether I came to fight it or wasn't ready and encountered it during exploration.


How far are you into Sekiro now?
I think I'm in the endgame now as I unlocked the achievement for visiting all areas in the game yesterday and the story seems to be nearing a conclusion.

I'm loving the game so if and when I beat it, I'm going for a NewGame+ run to get the achievements for upgrading all prosthetics and all skills.

Xbox one s All Digital May 7 229€

pretty expensive, something like that should come with a year of gamepass cause the 3 games they give you can already play on gamepass.

seeing lots of stuff on that game "outward" its like a morrowind/skyrim type rpg/survival game, apparently its pretty difficult but at the same time rewarding.

Supply bin glitch in Apex is OP.

 

[joe billionaire]

With the new ps5 talk, and the new Xbox on the horizon

What final games coming out on this gen are you guys excited for?

Me cyberpunk, rage 2, borderlands 3...maybe the outer worlds there’s probably a few more ima buy madden this year too...also if halo infinite but that might be next gen.

I think it’s a great time for gaming tho. Excited about next gen too.

 

[putting in work]

I was just thinking about them saving the big A1 titles for next gen, but still release them on this gen.

Borderlands and Halo Infinite come to mind.

I can't wait for Halo Infinite though. With how great Halo 5 was I hope they don't mess it up.

 

[benzilla427]

Pretty significant patch for Apex went live today. Excited to try out how OP Gibraltar is once I get home

 

[joe billionaire]

Purchased 3 months of gold from the dash for 12.99 and got 1000 apex coins ima save em for battle pass seAson 2 tho

 

[jewseejay]

None of these patch notes mean anything if they cant fix their server performance. Lo key worse than PubG now with the dsync

Really? I haven't noticed anything terrible. I can't remember the last time I got disconnected. I'll lag every now and then at the beginning of the game but it's not too bad.

Yea i hope no battle royals in halo honestly. I like halo 5 multiplayer...ima start to play some of the story modes. I only played halo 4 story.

I really hope if those games drop on the new Xbox that I don’t gotta buy them again lol

Halo 1-3 story is one of the best stories ever in gaming. Definitely worth checking out.

The price for gamepass/gold isn’t bad

The price of the digital console I guess it’s ok...but really should of been $200 or at least come with 1 year of gamepass instead of those games...cause you can play all those on gamepass lol

 

[joe billionaire]

Some of my gamepass games got a trade in boost. I’m probably gonna trade em towards mk11

 

[stay lurkin]

Anyone on MH now?
