@Zuljaras Nope. Unlike with others in the series, EA have adopted the PC release model for the console game. There are a few digital collections [and I think physical] that reduce the price a bit, but there's not a collection of all the expansions yet. There's still one left to release on consoles, but even then I don't expect a full collection physical release.

So... Is it normal for Xbox to just randomly give people free vbucks, or did I participate in a promotion by accident or something?

I got the yellow Minecraft bundle.

Yes, it is a message from the same official account that told me I didn’t win the game from watching the game awards on mixer.

It says something along the lines of: “welcome to gold! Have the 1000 vbucks we promised”

Edit: ok so apparently they had a promotion for free vbucks with each gold sub when I renewed mine.

Guys, this is probably a stupid question but I'd like to ask if there is a way to stop the splash screen that pops each time I launch Forza Motorsport 7 ? It's about the Xbox Live Gold subscriptions...

To make it short I'd like to avoid that thing forever ! Thank you. ^^

PS : Forza Motorsport 7 is brilliant specially when you start to drive without assistance... wow, Turn 10 did an awesome job to deliver a deep gameplay experience even without a steering wheel... o_O
I never experienced such incredible driving sensations with a standard controller. This is absolutely nutty... o_O

@DarthNocturnal according to the articles I found on it, it's for new subs, and resubs of people who cancelled before october.

It's odd because I still had gold like one day before the promo ended.

Wow the 1x treatment of nuts and bolts makes me really want to play the game again. It seems like do much better a game than the first time.... And it looks so great now!

Conker on the other hand, never played it, i wish i could, i love the characters and world, but dang that gameplay is intolerable..... Thats way too frustrating to suffer though. Such a shame. Definitely didn't age well.

What’s the point

@Cobalt It's cool but it only works in Developer Mode so we would have to switch from one mode to the other. It still is really cool though. Some games will never be published again after all, those that are in limbo. Happy New Year!

P.S.

What was up/wrong with season 6?

I thought it was the worst season by far. I thought people had generally agreed on that but I just checked the various fan polls and it turns out there's no agreement on that at all. Lol.

Unravel is way better than I expected. Actually, it has become my favourite indie game. I will play the sequel afterwards.

So we subscribed to the EA access thing on Xbox. Being able to play through all the Dragon Ages and Mass Effects and Dead Spaces for 5 bucks a month isn't too shabby.That mixed with game pass is really a generous offering of "free" games.

Also, Celeste is a fun little game. It's a super well made game, and I'm glad the developers have seen such success.

Going through Rare Replay, banjo aside, I feel like most of these games, unless you played them "in their time" really don't hold up well. The controls are just so horrible on so many of them. Banjo is "modern-ish enough" to still work (but even that gets iffy at times.) Conker 64 is an unplayable garbage heap if you're not already familiar with it. I loved the characters and world but was really bummed that I"d never subject myself to that horrid gameplay control......but I've discovered the OG XB remake of Conker is available and X Enhanced! That makes me quite happy now!

N&B is just stunning and way cooler than I'd remembered it on the X. I'm impressed with Viva Pinata...it's nothing like I expected it to be. But it's oddly pleasant to play!

I do have a weird problem with the main RRP menu though. All the games that have their own 360 version won't launch from the RRP main game....it says they're not installed even though they are. And I made sure to install the "Rare Replay" tagged ones instead of the untagged ones. Weird.

@NEStalgia You are not supposed to install games, Rare Replay install them for you, you probably were playing around with the Xbox and the downloads as usually. I found Conker's Bad Fur Day a joy to play on Rare Replay and I did not played it back in the day. It can get brutally difficult at the end but it has checkpoints. It's also Xbox One S-enhanced (like the other N64 games) because it runs at 1080p and smoother frame rate and it's also the most impressive N64 game ever created visually, which is made more evident in HD. Yes, as I said many times, Viva Piñata was the biggest and nicest surprise for me too, the more I played it the more I liked it. Happy 2019, in between!

@BlueOcean Hmm, in my case when I bought RRP, my "ready to install" tab listed RRP itself, and two separate versions of each game, the RRP badged version, and the non-RRP badged version, so there were a ton of tiles in the "ready to install" tab. So I went through and installed RRP itself, and each of the "RRP badged" versions of the 360 games (the non-RRP versions still show in the "ready to install" tab though...) But the RRP menu still thinks it's not installed (not a big deal, I just run it separately, but just a slight sadness at not being able to use the cool menu for them.) Maybe it wants the non-RRP badged one? I doubt uninstalling will help unless maybe I uninstall everything and start with just RRP again. It's definitely clunky, even if RRP does it itself, if it leaves 16+ tiles in your "ready to install" menu.

It's also possible it messed something up because I'd already bought Kameo separately and had the non-RRP badged version installed, I guess.

Hmm...Conker in 1080? Hmm, when I run it from RRP I get a small letterboxed window inside a border like for the arcade games that doesn't use even the full height of the screen. Is there a way to get 1080p full screen at least in 4:3 that uses the screen height?

For me it's the controls and camera that made it problematic, not so much the appearance. Conker moves hyperactive like a squirrel and is kind of hard to control. I just found out about the OG XBox remake though, so I'm pretty excited about a remaster! Definitely buying that! It could be that I skipped that whole era of console platformers so I never developed muscle memory for handling it. I jumped from SNES to PC where things control fluid with mice, back to X360/PS3/Wii where things were "modern" already.

Viva Pinata reminds me of the kind of thing that would have been on PC in the late 90's. It was really a leap ahead to manage to put something like that on console, on the 360 no less! I think that will be my springtime game.

Happy 2019!
