Also, it's smart. Ish. If you haven't played something in a while, it won't grab the update for you automatically, even with automatic updates on. (I think core components/apps are exempt, like Store, the OS, etc etc.)
Oh, Red Faction: Asshole With a Hammer is on sale for 5 bucks. Remastered version, too.
Get yo ass to Mars, and level it.
Anyone into Musou/Warriors games, Samurai Warriors 5 has a demo up before its release on Tuesday. It's got a slimmed down roster (37 from 54) compared to SW4, but there have been some nice additions to the combo system and the watercolor inspired art design is sexy. Demo's only bout 3GB and your progression carries over to the retail release.

I grabbed Witcher 3 Complete. Got a $5 code from MS and it's $10 on sale. Anticipating the Series X upgrade.
Played through it years ago but never any of the DLC and traded away the disc
You're in for a treat, both DLC packs are fantastic and in very different ways from each other. You can hop into Heart of Stone pretty safely after doing 3-4 main quests in Novigrad, as for Blood and Wine i wouldn't recommend going to Toussaint till level 30+.

I really like Touissant as a coda on the main game; doing it after the credits roll leads to what feels like a really good ending for the series, at least for Geralt.

Let's play Mario Kart or something...
Been playing some State of Decay 2 after watching a few hours of footage of it and I was enjoying it, until I discovered that missions have a expiration timer that isn't always clear (as far as I can tell) and after I timed out a second mission unexpectedly, I've lost my apatite for the game.

oh, pretty much all missions save the legacy missions have an expiration timer. for missions that don't suggest danger you may get a bark or two, but yeah.
they still won't let you finish a legacy and keep the same world going so I stopped playing it, also they kept adding higher difficulties, which is fine if you're into them, but they also threw in achievements for them too and if you think what they added was stupid and a waste of time, then having to play a 100 day campaign (150 hours of realtime) would really just kill the game for you.

I would love an option for SoD 2 to disable mission timers. I hate them in games, I just don’t like the pressure.
Especially as it’s on top of the need to keep your base fed and watered, scavenging or building materials, etc.
I really hope SoD 3 doesn’t have them, or it’s difficultly related. Just let me build my base up, then pick and choose the mission I want to do, and when.
I would have been fine if they actually put timers on all of the missions so at least know if it's one of the missions I can wait 3 hours before I have to do, or if it's going to expire in 30 minutes. Had a mission pop like right before I was heading out to kill a Plague Heart and it expired before I got back.
I nabbed Castlevania Anniversary Collection immediately after seeing it was on sale.
I did the same with Contra Anniversary. Shame all that comes out of Konami anymore are gambling devices. I want to shove a pachinko machine up they're executive board's collective ass.

I'll keep banging this drum when it comes to Konami, but getting a Gradius V port onto modern machines would be nice. Still, I'm amazed it even got released as a "PS2 Classic" on the PS3. But it should be on PS4/Xbone (and thus 5/Series) for preservation purposes.
Konami is extremely cursed, but I would buy a "Rocket Knight Collection" (featuring Rocket Knight Adventures and the two different versions of Sparkster for SNES and Genesis) on day one.

Parodius Wars localization for me, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that gets a fan translation patch one day. I understand how others feel, but I don't really hold a burning resentment in my heart towards Konami, probably as I was never a huge fan of their late catalog.
I don’t think it really matters if you miss them, they’re all repeatable kind of random generated missions aren’t they?
missing certain missions for characters requires a new play through (or character with the same background) as they may not trigger again even after a very long time. like the find the record mission, and most of the npc specific ones really. others may never repeat because the enclave hates you now or somehow died.
one of the patches allowed you to customize their outfits too. it's just the new optional-but-not-if-youre-a-completionist difficulties and legacy ending that killed it for me.

For some reason you can load into the game and then are presented with a “join us on 27th, available soon!” Message. Don’t do this games! Just don’t load the damn game if it’s not available yet. Got me all excited for nothing

It’s the 27th at midnight, either unlock the game, or tell us to come back at 6pm or whenever.

Samurai Warriors 5 is freaking stunning to behold in motion and pulls off the watercolor/woodblock look as well as anything since Okami and/or Breath of the Wild. The Sengoku period has rarely looked this sexy. Another positive is the hard difficulty is very well balanced from the jump and is making me have to use all the various attack and defensive commands at my disposal (bout 4 missions in this far), without the stunlocking and bullshit 2 hit KOs that normally plague the highest tiers in musou games.

Ok weird, they had all these banners up on gamepass like “flight simulator out now” “earn your wings”, and now it’s all gone. Guess shenanigans are happening with the launch

Could someone post here when it goes live ?
I'll happily bail from work after 6 hours if I can go home and play.
Although we have sushi arriving in 3 hours, so ideally not before then.
Yeah don’t worry we’ve all fallen for it, it’s a stupid thing to have. Don’t launch the game to show a splash screen that the game hasn’t launched yet, I don’t know who would enjoy that? What’s that for? It has to have pissed off every single person who’s loading it

Blightbound is supposed to have released today, the MS store cant find it even if I search for the name.

Think this is called xbox remote play, and it seems to be accessible only through the xbox mobile app.
Also, it's smart. Ish. If you haven't played something in a while, it won't grab the update for you automatically, even with automatic updates on. (I think core components/apps are exempt, like Store, the OS, etc etc.)
(Disclaimer: I'd heard about Cris Tales, this just made for a more succinct narrative.)
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!
Summer Sale going on until 5 August, with 700 items--so there's probably something out there worth picking up (like Hitman if you don't already have it).

Some are, but some are the start of quest chains, from what I remember. You can get building upgrade rewards.

Poop.
I’ll try again at 1am.
In the meantime, I’ll try to force an update.

Also gamepass is saying flight simulator is out but whenever I boot it it just takes me to that stupid “coming 27th” screen
It looks amazing on Xbox SS.
You should all try it.

Nevermind I was also bamboozled so sorry in advance for the false tags
It's apparently unlocking in 6 hours from this post, or 10:30 Central time.
Woo, thanks for the heads up.
Food at 12, then I'll make a decision about staying in work until 4pm or if I'll do a short day.
Honestly, if it wasn't for the food, I'd head off now...
Looking forward to flying around my city, then heading off to the Greek islands. Then South Korea, then North across the DMZ into North Korea.
Hopefully it won't trigger any diplomatic incidents.
That's ok ! It means I get to stay in work a lot longer than I want to and that's always fun !
I'm having fun, and definitely not posting from the bathroom to take a, frankly, unnecessary tiny wee !
Did the DMZ flight (in very inclement weather) a few months back, mostly VFR by coastal landmarks.
Lots of farmland. Lots of it. But it's a pretty short flight by turbine-driven aircraft to the Taedong River, and you can follow that up to Pyongyang.
Don't lie, you know you want it, or the version that carries a Series X that you need to check.
