Not sure why people are saying fake.

"The world of cyberpunk 2077 deluxe edition" in Amazon brings up a listing of an art book that literally has part of the worlds map plastered on the cover, just like OPs picture.

https://www.amazon.com/World-Cyberpunk-2077-Deluxe/dp/1506716997

"Meanwhile, multiplayer matchmaking will offer the usual assortment of playlists you’ve come to expect from Halo games – Team Snipers, Rumble Pit, etc. – and let players vote on which map they want next. But what’s cool is that you may be presented with three choices that span three different games. Say, Halo: CE’s “Wizard,” Halo 2’s “Lockout,” and Halo 3’s “The Pit.” Whichever gets the most votes is the game that MCC will launch, after which you’ll be taken back to the multiplayer lobby with your friends."

Same! I got a comms ban twice while responding to trash talk that was directed towards me. As if the Xbox mods can't read that exchange to see who started that conversation? It's ridiculous. I just don't communicate on Xbox anymore with anyone that isn't already on my Friends List for fear of the idiotic mods.

Groupon codes should also be of concern! I recently purchased Xbox Live Gold from Groupon and received a code issued to a Mexican retailer. When I couldn't redeem the code, I contacted Xbox Support. I got an education when I was informed that Groupon buys codes from Mexico and Brazil to exploit the exchange rate between the U.S. and those countries. Microsoft knows about this and has prohibited those codes in the U.S., but Groupon continues to do it anyway at the risk of their customers. Read the comments on their product page and the disclaimer that "Some cards may arrive in Spanish".

I tried twice to get a refund from Groupon, but they just kept repeating the line that they "need to verify the details in order to provide the best solution." Groupon doesn't have a phone number to call, it's chat only (the better to avoid their victims) and they just stall and stall with the same BS line until you give up. I had to turn to my bank in order to get a charge-back for the money Groupon stole from me!

Because fuck monthly bandwidth caps. Like hell I'm gonna re-download any AAA game @ 40-100 Gb. Just look out for sales on amazon and other electronics vendors. I think I got my 8Tb drive for like $100, and I've seen little micro drives with 2Tb for $50. Just plug in a USB3 hub and you can keep expanding.

Edit: Wow so many responses! BTW I currently have an 8TB as my main external drive, which doubles as a USB hub so I can connect another drive in the future. (link) It's currently $150 on Amazon, but I bought it way lower, so might want to check back around holiday sales. Also, did a google search and found that the current limit of external storage is 16Tb across two drives, though I've seen reports of people using more than two with no issues.

Tom Clancys GRFS?!?!?! Oh HELL YES!!! Amazing title to add back compat team. Y'all are amazing!

EDIT: Just looking around for prices (I have my copy still, doin' it for you guys).

Gamestop has it used for $2.99 US HERE - In store only - Physical

Amazon has it new for $11.99 HERE - Online - Physical

PUBG stats from Steam:

• Current players: 1,531,230

• Peak today: 1,825,432  

For reference, Dota 2 on 2nd place has 642,518 current players and 662,475 peak.

https://store.steampowered.com/stats/

So, while Fortnite is a juggernaut, PUBG isn't doing that bad either.  

It sure feels like this game will start off with The Blackwater Massacre:

>The Blackwater Massacre was a bloody gunfight that took place in the town of Blackwater in 1899.

And from the RDR2 info page:

>After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee.

Destiny is like Assassins Creed, an incredible concept with a amazing core that had some major flaws that keep it from being what it should be in the eyes of many. That doesn't/didn't stop nearly everyone from loving the ever living hell out of the first game but they also realized it had flaws and so did the developers and then we got Assassin's Creed II which was everything the original should have been and MORE.

I know I'm critical of the game as you can see here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/2g818m/destiny_review_giant_bomb/ckgu3ph

But in the end I'm critical because the core of the game is so good and promising that I want to see what can be done when the game is pushed to its potential. That means no fucking last gen consoles.

edit:

and here is the relevant information to OP

It’s important to us that everyone enjoys their experiences in Arena play. To maintain the quality of the Arena experience and sanctity of competition, a number of rules are in place for all Arena playlists. Halo 5: Guardians is engineered to detect and track the following behavior:

Quitting matches

Betrayals or team killing

Idling (AFK)

Intentional suicides

Excessive disconnects

If you repeatedly engage in negative behaviors such as the ones listed above, you will receive a ban and be prevented from entering matchmaking. The duration of each ban is dependent on the offense and becomes more severe with each successive infraction, so continually killing your teammates to steal the Sniper Rifle will quickly lead to long timeouts from matchmade play.

Zombie kill 'em up Dying Light gets a Battle Royale-inspired standalone PvP expansion called Bad Blood next year

Developer Techland said Bad Blood comes "as a response to numerous fan requests for a PvP approach to Dying Light, and the recent popularity of the Battle Royale genre among the survival horror fans", which presumably is a nod to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite.

The big difference between the likes of PUBG and Bad Blood, however, is Bad Blood is only for six players, and it blends PvP with PvE. Here's how it works: you and five other players are dropped into a hostile, zombie-infested area. Each player has to evacuate before the night falls. You have to scavenge for weapons while harvesting blood samples from the infected.

There's word of dynamic alliances with other players to get tactical against zombie bosses, but you can then turn on your allies to steal their samples. The more samples the players harvest collectively, the more evacuation seats on the chopper are unlocked, but everyone pays for their seat individually.

That's all we've got for now. Dying Light: Bad Blood is due out in 2018. You can sign up for the global playtest over at the official website

Update: he's posted an article on Kotaku, he's heard its a brand new Fallout game that takes the series in a new direction https://kotaku.com/over-140-000-people-are-watching-a-fallout-bobblehead-o-1826397799

This also just showed up on Amazon.

Q: WHEN AND ON WHAT PLATFORMS WILL THE FALLOUT 76 B.E.T.A. BE AVAILABLE?

A: The B.E.T.A. will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and on PC (via Bethesda.net). Stay tuned for exact timing for each platform here and @Fallout on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Please note that the B.E.T.A. for Xbox One will begin first, followed by other platforms.

There are newer ones that are called Sentinels I believe and they are much much lighter and with 1080p display too! Obviously they will be slightly more expensive

Here’s a link

Probably not. I'm sure they're keeping it Elite exclusive as more incentive to get that controller. It would be awesome to see those options given to normal players though.

Also, the elite controller doesn't have deadzone customization for the sticks. You can only control the curve, which only slightly affects the perceived deadzone size. Antideadzone customization is only possible by changing the start of the curve, like here in this graph. That's something the app still needs.

Hi guys! Knight Squad dev here. As I can see people are already enjoying my challenges! I'm here to answer all your questions about the game. Also, we made 2 teespring campaigns for those interested in a cool Knight Squad shirt. Purple Knight Yellow Knight

Good list. This is not me shamelessly pimping OneDrive, but if you create in on OneDrive using Excel Web, you can set it up where people can sort on the different columns which could be real helpful.

Here is an example using some of the data from your table. I'm a data nerd of sorts....so I love being able to use sorting etc. Also, if you have the latest desktop version of Excel you can pull it in there for easier data entry etc and push it back to the web.

Let me know if you want help creating it...or not.

From what I understand Microsoft does not mess with the code of the game but rather the emulator, which they are constantly updating. Source skip to 15:00

Heads up for people who want to unlock the Pathfinder armour in game, briefing 4 of 6 with a new trailer is up now.

For anyone who hasn't started this yet, you just have to login with your EA account and watch the trailers.

I do this often lately because the 3.5mm jack on my Xbox Controller no longer works. Instead of buying a new controller, which I don't have money for at the moment, I can still talk with my friends. I usually use the stock White Apple Earpods that come with every iPhone, but my buddy routinely uses his AirPods and it should work with any bluetooth headset which can be had for as low as $20 on Amazon.

It's a lot cheaper on Amazon @ $240

That's not true, that's just what everyone assumed happened. Marvel went to Sony to make a Marvel game, Sony suggested Insomniac, and Insomniac had a choice of any Marvel character and they chose Spider-Man.

Delisted an copyright issues from what I understand. Instead, check out this PC port from the same developers. Includes Marble Blast Ultra and levels from all the other Marble Blast games.

It's a lot better than the last time you played it, but still a ways off from where I have come to expect a Halo game to perform. That is at least my own opinion. There will be an update before the end of the month that addresses many "game breaking" issues and I would personally suggest you wait for that to release. Here's more info on that patch: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/community-update-1-31-15

Aaaand just got to my hotel. IIRC that is a PC reference. Also, the full video of Phil's presentation will be posted tomorrow.

Not all. It had to be within a certain time-frame.

After Titanfall you have:

• MGSGS on 3/18

• Lego: Hobbit on 4/8

• Kinect Sports Rivals on 4/8

• Wolfenstein on 5/27

• Sniper Elite on 6/24

• Watchdogs possibly around 6/30

• Murdered Soul Suspect on 6/30

• Evil Within on 8/26

• Destiny on 9/9

This does not include the [email protected] or arcade games which will definitely be releasing in March/April and on. In addition, this does not include any already announced games that do not have a date. I skipped ESO because of the rampant greed of Zenimax studios with their "no paywall" claim and then they lock Imperial race behind one. For other games that I did not include because they did not have a release date set check here: http://www.ign.com/games/upcoming/xbox-one

For North America only :(

EDIT: Nevermind, you can buy it from Amazon as well https://www.amazon.com/Fallout-Game-Year-Pip-Boy-Xbox-One/dp/B074NL8CBT/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502380988&sr=8-1&keywords=fallout%2B4%2Bgame%2Bof%2Bthe%2Byear&th=1

A stealth hero would be a interesting counter against Widowmaker, Torbjörn and Bastion. Certainly brings more dynamic to the table.

Edit: Sombra's habilities:

https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/heroes/sombra/

Looks like she can also counter Reinhardt and Winston.

That's water.

In 2552 they mostly use hydrogen fuels. The warthog is equipped with an actuator that converts it into usuable hydrogen. You could seriously run the warthog on pee if you wanted to.

My son is 7, we got him basically the same thing and he absolutely loves it.

​

1. Plug it in, set everything up & pre-load the games, there will be updates, etc.. It's the best thing you can do.
2. Purchase rechargeable batteries, I went with these ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07DPNYGST/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I find them simply amazing (charge them ahead of time, load one into the controller so it's ready to go).
3. If he does not have a headset I highly recommend you get one for him. This way he can game without you having to listen to the TV blasting and people screaming. Turtle Beach is a decent brand with options is lower price range.
4. Have a conversation with him about playing with other people on Xbox. This will be a bit of a new word, people say things that might be rude, insulting or just plain inappropriate in voice chat. Prepare him for it, prepare yourself for it.
5. Consider getting him "Xbox Game Pass", it's a subscription service for games and gives your son access to 100's of games without you having to purchase them. For us it's been a lifesaver. We love this. Costco should have cards for this. The "top tier" version of this service is called "Xbox Game Pas Ultimate" and includes "Xbox Live" and also works on a PC. Incredible value for your money, this is what we ended up getting.
6. Keep in mind he will need the "Xbox Live" subscription to play multiplayer, as a side note this also gives him free games every few weeks. If you end up getting the "Xbox Game Pas Ultimate" then everything is included in there.

It might be your power brick, it’s about $20 I believe on amazon

That's not even a real leak :P These are just small info booklets. You can also find them in some Gamestop stores.

Everything sounds great though :)

It's just a freaking info booklet that is available in many Gamestop stores. And that's from a few days ago ... It's just info material for press and retailers. This guy just got one of these, prints his watermarks on it - and that's it. Stop trying to make a mountain out of a dust speck.

Thanks for sharing! We can't wait for everyone picking up an Xbox One X to get hands on with this on November 7th. The team worked super hard on this.

You can get a Duke controller for Xbox one if that floats your boat

My advice: don't even try. :(

Until you see a post on the Halo Waypoint site that says "we deployed fixes on the back end and a patch and it's all TOTALLY FIXED NOW FOR EVERYONE YOU GUYS," just don't even try.

I realize that's a non-solution. That doesn't fix the problem, and you paid good money for a game that doesn't work (or at least, not the very big part of it you care about). But the alternative is to keep trying things that don't work, and get increasingly frustrated and angry that it's not working.

Is it unacceptable that it didn't work worth a damn at launch? Yes. That they couldn't roll out a fix more quickly? Sure... I mean tracking down these problems and fixing them isn't a flip of a switch. It's not plugging in some more routers or whatever. It often requires writing, testing, and deploying code, which doesn't happen in an hour. But everyone saying they took your money and didn't deliver what they took your money for is totally right.

But you can't fix that. You can only reduce your frustration by not repeatedly trying to use something that doesn't work.

On Amazon it's about $500, and GameStop has the same list price of $525.

Finally had to break down and get a remote case w/ magnets in it. Add a magnetic strip on the wall or wherever you prefer to store remote and boom.

(Same link offers 2 magnetic strips for 5.99 in the color section)

i was curious of the same.

This is how the article explains it though. " The Battlefield 1 Premium Pass giveaway is set to run from September 11 to 18, as our way to capstone all the giveaways and rewards from the Road to Battlefield V. This offer will let Battlefield 1 owners play everything <em>Battlefield 1 Premium Pass</em> has to offer for free*. "

This sounds like we get to keep it for free once we download/claim it within that window.

Just a reminder that the complete game is on sale this week digitally for $24:

Via Xbox Store (Spotlight Sale)

Via Amazon

I already mentioned it, but it's worth saying again ...

Beware of Groupon! I recently purchased Xbox Live Gold from Groupon and received a code issued to a Mexican retailer. When I couldn't redeem the code, Xbox Support informed me that Groupon buys codes from Mexico and Brazil to exploit the exchange rate between the U.S. and those countries.

I'm not crazy into flight sims or anything, but I picked up a HOTAS One for Elite Dangerous and feel it's great for my needs. I don't love how short the cord is connecting the throttle and stick, but everything else has been great.

For that price, you could do far worse.

If you don't want to wait on Season 2 but want more of Bigby and this world then you should pick up the Fables comic (the game is a prequel to the comic), there's 22 volumes worth of stuff and numerous spin offs involving other characters.

On topic though I really liked the heavily stylized look of the first game and I'm not sure if I like what I'm seeing of the second game

One of the most common ways that accounts (not just Xbox/Microsoft) are compromised is when you share the same password across multiple sites/services, when one of those sites has been compromised, and when you don't have two factor authentication enabled on your account. A few recommendations:

1. If any site/service offers two-factor authentication, enable it. If given the option to choose SMS or an authenticator app, choose the authenticator app. Microsoft accounts support both SMS and authenticator app two-factor authentication options and also has an authenticator app available on mobile platforms.
2. Use unique passwords for each site and service. Password management programs like 1Password are a great tool for making this process simple.
3. Sign up on https://haveibeenpwned.com/. The site is a great tool to see just how many times your account has been compromised and across which sites, and there's also an option to setup an alert any time your credentials have been detected in a new breach.

I got these, which is tested by Consumer Reports to have best blue light blocking abilities. It works over my glasses too and is made by Honeywell.

The only thing is since it blocks out so much it makes everything really orange too and takes some getting used too. Most others don't block as well and thus you see more color.

Hi everyone, We got a small surge of backers and I was wondering what was going on and found this post. People might not believe it but we don't know the OP. I would like to thank the OP though for posting on this reddit. I would also like to add we are not Xbox exclusive but have chosen the platform for two reasons. The first one is the lack of this kind of game on the platform. The second is that this started as a school project on PC where we needed to support Xbox Controllers. PS4 is a stretch goal, or if sales go well we will also go for port. If you have any questions about the game feel free to ask. We don't bite. For those who also game on PC there is a demo available on game Jolt. http://gamejolt.com/games/antigraviator/250597 A couple of other things Xbox preview is not certain yet and an anywhere version will probably be not possible. I would like to state we are only a four man team and we need to make sure we stick to our planning.

It's not like the operating system is coming to Xbox One, the meaning of it is all operating systems that are historically diverged (Xbox, Windows, Windows Phone) are going to share a common Windows core.

For more information, please read up long time Microsoft watcher Mary Jo's post. http://www.zdnet.com/what-one-windows-really-means-and-doesnt-7000031917/

I also suggest everyone register their email addresses on https://haveibeenpwned.com/, made by renowned security researcher Troy Hunt. You'll be notified of major password breaches and email leaks so you know what has been compromised. Especially if you reuse passwords (P.S. don't).

Well step 1 is to stop getting cheap ass batteries. Get eneloop batteries with a battery charger here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JHKSL1O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Vo-vDb8Q860YJ

Put 2 in your controller, leave 2 on the charger

When the 2 on your controller die, swap out for the fresh ones on the charger

Repeat steps for the next several years.

If you can’t manage to do this then what you need to do is get a new brain because your current one doesn’t work

Try this, doesn't involve soldering

The adapter shown here that the Adaptive Controller is connecting to is the Mayflash Magic NS Wireless Controller Adapter for Nintendo Switch. I currently use to connect my regular Xbox controller to the Switch for Super Mario Odyssey where it works flawlessly, and I plan to do so again for Smash. I highly recommend it!

Agreed. Anybody that has followed Destiny knows the majority of the issues are/were self inflected wounds by Bungie. Jason Schreier's story on this is fantastic.

They did exactly this the first time round they released Avatars, 1 vs 100 was great fun and I actually came in the top 3 a couple of times.

Except a lot of people, and I mean a lot of people aren't legitimately having problems. They have been abusive with their messaging.

They will all tell you BS about being innocent, but the proof is when you look at their chart. High report of others, and high number of reported incidents including messaging.

Case in point:

This is the original poster. See his original post on the first page and contrast with the report!

I currently use this clip that attaches to the controller, and I don't see how this detachable controller would be better/easier to use than the clip.

> The multiplayer team has also been keeping a close eye on playlist feedback and requests for Action Sack, and gathering their favorite candidates from all around, including the Waypoint forums, ForgeHub, Twitter, r/Halo, the front page of r/all (congrats to the Forgers who have gotten millions of views on their creations!) and more, and excited to confirm that the playlist is indeed on the way. Additionally, the team is working directly with several community Forgers directly to get their latest maps, modes, and recommendations. Playtests are ongoing, and the team is working to get the playlist up as soon as they’re able – look for an exact release date (as well as a list of launch maps and game types) as soon as everything is locked. We'll continue to provide status updates on not only Action Sack, but additional playlists as well.

This is not true. If you follow the links they got their info from another site that took parts of a kotaku article and twisted it. Bioware stated the release date was still in flux and if it was pushed back it may not be later than March 2019 due to EA's fiscal year.

Kotaku Article

Will digitally downloaded games be able to be pre-loaded before release, so that they're simply unlocked and ready to go at 12:01am on the day of release?

WHITTEN, CHIEF XBOX ONE PLATFORM ARCHITECT: Not at launch, but you’ll see us do this and much more over the life of the program.

Keep letting MS know we want this feature sooner rather than later.

Lol well he's wrong. Black Desert and Player Unknown's Battleground had "console launch exclusive" as well and they are already confirmed for PS4. It literally means they are timed exclusives. Microsoft worded it this way to intentionally make it confusing to figure out if games are actually exclusive or not. They could have been clear and just said timed exclusive but that would have shown clearly how weak their line up actually is.

It's officially licensed by Nintendo. Also, it even recommends you buy one in certain games. When you launch Smash Bros multiplayer it tells you about it. And in the event that you do own a usb to ethernet plug, it does work natively

And before this, you said

>there’s no way to use a Switch wired at all

Stop moving the goalposts. Just admit you were wrong, and appreciate the new information. Goodnight!

I really cant wait to see what they do with Halo5's campaign... i've read some rumors about the game being open world now&imo that would be awesome if true.

Major Nelson posted a picture of this on Instagram here.

He said, "A little gift I got from the Xbox Accessories team - a custom Seattle themed Xbox One controller. Sorry, these are not available publicly. I may give it away on a future podcast though!"

I disagree. Gears 2 had some great moments, like riding the Brumak and killing the giant worm, but it also had the weakest final boss (Lambent Brumak) and unclear direction when it came to the Myrrah and the Sires.

Gears 3 is the best campaign, in my opinion. It ties everything together nicely, and had pulled some serious emotions when it came to Dom and then with Adam Fenix.

For those interested in picking this up, you get the base game and all DLC when you purchase a new, physical copy of Quantum Break, which is currently $26.99 on Amazon. The FAQ mentions that Alan Wake will be "taken out of physical and digital retail", so future printings likely won't include it. I don't know if they've mentioned if the codes in Quantum Break will be no good after May 15, but I can't imagine that will be the case.

Don’t buy a new controller. It’s a 10$ part on Amazon.... pretty straight forward to swap out. Main difficulty is making sure you don’t let any small parts fall out during replacement.

This one is a little more expensive compared to others. However it is the one I used to fix mine (so it’s verified to work).

Yeah, I noticed that too.

The one in the picture above is the 2012 game The Good Life: The Tropical Paradise Simulation.

The one actually coming to Xbox One is the upcoming The Good Life by Swery's new studio, White Owls.

One of the Xbox presenters also weirdly criticized the concept of the game, saying it was the type of idea one comes up with randomly at like 3am or something.

Given that odd comment and the fact that they put up the wrong cover art, I feel bad for Swery, as he said he stayed up to watch XO18 only to see those gaffes for what should've been an exciting time for his work. Regardless, I'm glad it's coming to Game Pass. I'll check it out.

lol well it should be CTIA to OMPT. blatant oversight on my part, reminded me of the Three Wolf Moon t-shirt reviews.

This is the monitor I got for my Xbox One X and 3 of my friends did as well. I love it and have absolutely no problems with it and neither do any of my friends. I tried to do as much research as I could before the console came out to try and find the best one and this is the best I saw.
