Topic: The everything Xbox thread

The current PC flight for Halo Reach has been extended to November 12th.

X019 is only 4 days away.

You going, @Grumblevolcano .... ? Or watching it live? I'll probably try to catch some of it, at least, if I can & certainly look for the announcements

@Grumblevolcano did you play sea of thieves. Was it any good

@BruceCM Just watching the stream, think it's going to be like X018. Microsoft's probably saving the big news for E3 2020.

@Ninfan No, haven't tried Sea of Thieves.

@Anti-Matter

What about the first Fable? That would probably fit with your tastes.

Fable was rated M / PEGI 16
Definetely NOT the game i was looking for.

Probably, @Grumblevolcano .... Should still be enough stuff covered to make it worthwhile, though

Xbox 360 has a new system update!

@Grumblevolcano Wow! It's like a Nintendo 3DS stability update!

Fable 1 is very family friendly. It's more child-like than Final Fantasy 8, which you seem to like.

@Dezzy
Don't lie about Fable. 😒
It was rated M / PEGI 16/ 18 by Japanese rating after i searched from gamefaqs just now.
I will not allow game like that.
Don't try my patience.

@Anti-Matter

That's the same rating as FF8 (PEGI 16)

@Dezzy
Nevermind.
I will find other OG XBOX games from gamefaqs.
Sorry for bothering you.

@Anti-Matter Blinx: The Time Sweeper and it's sequel might be the closest to what you're looking for among Xbox exclusives.

A return of Sea of Thieves content appearing in mixpots:

By watching X019 on Mixer, you get the Obsidian Wheel. Also a Gears POP promo pack and the chance to win 1 year of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

3 months if game pass ultimate on sale for $1 for new subs, $15 if you've had it before. Both are ridiculously great deals!!

@Dezzy @Anti-Matter Fable was rated M on technicalities. It contains alcohol, brothels/prostitutes, and a marriage dating/sim mechanic as part of the "living breathing world" environment. It's not graphic in the typical "M rated game" sense, but it got the M rating for including content that's generally "adult" in that context. Technically its M rating isn't due to the usual reasons you don't like M games. But in the West, even mentioning alcohol or sex is basically an automatic M.

@NEStalgia

Yeah I figured it was something like that. I knew they had that stuff in Fable 2 but I couldn't remember much about Fable 1 at all.
It was for the most part a very family friendly game.

@NEStalgia I wouldn't even bother. The game has already been labeled 'extreme evil, to be avoided at any cost' once again, without ever looking any further than a second-hand source (GameFAQs) and an age rating...
