Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@ThanosReXXX Also to point out my complaint isn't ommiyamoto these women are big breasted (even though the proportions/figures are not realistic at all but we all know it's the most common superpower in comics and video games) as I got hit with the top heavy stick myself, but it's ...what is in your shirt?...Jello? Flan maybe? Water balloons?

(I'm worried about size so much as I am sensitivity, personally. Butts should be firm...it's a muscle group for cryin outloud...) What? You mentioned what you liked...

It would be like if the guys looked like somebody put a squirrel in their pants or I guess had a flat butt like Snake since that is apparently cause for concern.

Makoto from SF is one of my favorite female fighting game character designs (and Nakoruru from SamSho but she has a hawk...that is awesome).

@ThanosReXXX You mean the Dictator clone? Not really a young teenager. So much as an empty souless doll that broke free of her conditioning.

@Ryu_Niiyama Well, them being realistic isn't necessary, since it's a game, and even though they try to give it a somewhat realistic look, in the end, it's still a bit cartoony/3D anime-like.

Funny, though, that you think that the male equivalent of the female jiggle should be in the nether regions:
there are plenty of well-muscled men that can roll their pecs almost as if they were also made of jello, so I'd say give the male in-game characters the same treatment as the female ones: a jiggly chest, or at least a rolling one. No need for squirrels in pants. The though alone... ouch...

We men are VERY sympathetic to accidents happening to other men in their nether regions, as is easily shown by how so many men cringe in absolute horror and sympathetic pain when we see another guy getting hit in the bells and whistle, even if we see it happening on the TV...

Erm... and what I like? Sure, butts should be firm, but I wouldn't want a woman's to be too muscular: a bit to be able to hold on to, is always nice, but nothing out of proportion, though.

@ThanosReXXX LOL I don't look below a man's eyes really (I tend to make constant eye contact in general though but I don't really retain information about things that don't interest me. I literally use eyes and eyebrow shape and voice to remember most men... it's a running joke with my brother because after about 2 months I won't know who the person is...not kidding. To be honest in general most people "blend" together for me, but men are the most unremembered when I meet someone later. Example. My boss cut his hair recently and didn't say anything for an hour and it took about 30 minutes for it to click that it was the same person. I thought a manager was using his desk. ) and all my hetero friends mention the pants location (as do male comedians) so shrugs misinformation I guess?

LOL I was referencing a Ron White joke (who also only talks about pants region). So that's what American culture has taught me that men care about and consider their pride point. lol.

I wasn't asking what you liked, I was following up on what you said and putting a disclaimer so I wouldn't get asked why I said it. lol.

I feel like this spiraled somehow...which was not my intention.

Man, all this off-topic talk of jigglies and wrigglies has got to stop, so back onto the Xbox track again...

Microsoft is currently making their own bid for cheap subscriptions:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/xbox-live-gold/cfq7ttc0k5dj...
Wouldn't surprise me at all, if this is instigated by more and more sites offering subscriptions for far lower prices than Microsoft has ever done...

But they need to take another step, because comparison sites STILL mention them as the more expensive option:
https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/buy-xbox-live-gold-membership...

@Ryu_Niiyama Haha, don't worry about it. I don't get steered, I do the steering. We're back on topic again, as per the comment above this one...

@ThanosReXXX If they can slash it that much why not set that as the price and undercut sony?

@Ryu_Niiyama No idea. And it still isn't cheaper as the other sites' offers, so they have some ways to go, far as I'm concerned. 12 months Xbox Live is still cheaper on cdkeys.com...

@Ryu_Niiyama The water balloons in doa move like everyone at Doatec gets implants at Dollar General. It's unsettling.

"I tend to make constant eye contact in general"
I have to admit, this made me laugh more than i should be willing to admit. . I know... I'm evil...

Cool about the price slashing. Ms is the one that started this whole subscription nonsense to begin with. If they want to show up Sony, kill the pricing and show everyone what a copy cat they are. Don't already cut psnow in response to gamepass. (Either that or because they have no subscribers)

Aside, mk x it's really cool. Best impulse buy on a game in ages. Didn't think appealed. The trailers undersell it. Mvc, dbz, and doa still top it though. And still hoping to like bb better with ctb instead of chronophan. Also, where is new sc?? Tried the old one in gamepass and it's great.... It's a lot of doa actually, but faster.

(I can hear thanos head pressurizing from all the acronyms already)

***SUMMER DEALS***

Even if you are currently subscribed to Gold you can top it up on Xbox.com for £26.50 for another year. This gives you free Games with Gold, discounts (Deals with Gold) and online multiplayer:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/xbox-live-gold/cfq7ttc0k5dj...

Also, LOTS (700) of games featured on Ultimate Game Sale:

And three months of Game Pass for £7.99 instead of £23.97, if you are not currently subscribed:

If you live in another country you can access any Xbox site and change country clicking on the globe at the bottom.

ENJOY!

Oops, I forgot a game in my top fighting game list:
1) Smash Wii U
2) Brawl
3) Smash 3DS
4) Mario Tennis Aces
5) Pokken DX
6) ARMS
7) Melee
8) Killer Instinct (XB1)
9) Smash 64

Nah, I'm good. Trying to keep calm in this climate, so not going to bother myself too much with all these fighter game names. Besides, I actually think I got most of them:

mk x = Mortal Kombat X
Mvc = Marvel vs Capcom
dbz = Dragon Ball Z
doa = Dead or Alive
bb = BlazBlue
ctb = ...?? okay, you got me there...
chronophan = is that even an acronym?
sc = SoulCalibur

Not too shabby for someone my age, huh?

@BlueOcean Hope you don't take offense, because I feel like I'm repeating myself, but look a couple of comments back before yours (five comments before, to be exact), because I already beat you to it (again).
I had both the Microsoft discount, and the ACTUAL summer deals from other sites, because cdkeys.com is STILL far cheaper than the official prices.

I actually bought another 12 months from cdkeys yesterday...

@Grumblevolcano Wii U? Mario? Pokken? ARMS? Smash Bros? Are we still in the Xbox thread?
And since when is Mario Tennis Aces a fighting game?

@ThanosReXXX I haven't read all your comments but I don't understand why you call me out for trying to help people in my own way so I will keep posting what I find interesting, no offense! This is not a competition for me and I just checked your comments and they aren't the same anyways.

@BlueOcean Not calling you out, just notifying you, which is also why I hoped you weren't offended. And although I didn't mention Game Pass and the game discount page, I most certainly DID mention Microsoft's own discount on Xbox Live Gold, and that page in itself leads to the other discounts, so it actually is more or less the same.

But regardless, the other offers from third party sites are still cheaper, so why limit the choice to Microsoft's offers alone?

@ThanosReXXX Well, you'll just have to deal with this, I'm afraid. Besides, I found your explanations more confusing than mine, especially the one about Xbox updates.

Yes, you added a third-party site, congratulations. I haven't said that that is wrong and I have never called you out for anything at all. I remember thanking you for letting me know about cdkeys.com, so it's not like I am against any independent seller, although I might be more cautious if I don't know them yet.

If not you, I am sure that someone will find my posts useful.

@NEStalgia ? You don't keep constant eye contact when you talk to people? That's a sign of uncertainty.

@ThanosReXXX ctb is likely blazeblu cross tag battle.

@BlueOcean Confusing? I explained the EXACT steps you need to take, and I did that as clearly as possible.
If that's confusing, then that's not on me, no offense.

As for getting Xbox Live codes from other places: I can imagine people being cautious about sites like that,
but cdkeys has literally been around for more than a decade, and seeing as I and several other people I know frequently make use of their Xbox Live codes, I feel pretty confident in recommending them to others.
The codes are sent to you within minutes of having ordered them, so it's near instant delivery.

And I also don't feel like it should be a contest, and I don't consider it one, but I simply can't help when people double-post stuff or notify people of things, whether partially different or not, that has already been posted, and not just by me. I usually keep track of article or forum threads I'm in, so I'll notice what's already been posted.
But again: It's not an accusation or anything, it's just how I see things and how I work, so I can't help but notice. Nature of the beast, so to speak. Sorry if that offends.

In the forums it isn't as bad, but in the comments sections of articles, it's really bad sometimes; at least 3 or 4 people posting the exact same thing, because they haven't browsed through the comments, but instead were (too) quick to post their own after either only having read the title of an article or having only read the article itself, so to me, that sticks out like a sore thumb.

@Ryu_Niiyama Ah, mystery solved, then. Thanks.

@ThanosReXXX It's not double-posting, my comments are original and I don't copy you. Thus, you'll have to deal with them, I'm afraid, as people have to deal with yours. You can always ignore me so you don't have to read me.

...what...what is this? Grumble you got jokes?

Well servers do have a cost that a 3rd party retailer isn't going to take into account. My thought is if MS themselves can afford to set prices at the price that they did for a sale (and likely still turn a profit to cover server costs) they could undercut sony easily and say "hey our online is better and cheaper". I know that a company is in the business to make money and I certainty don't want a race to the bottom because the cost will come out in another way (multiplayer games costing more, and since I'm mostly single player and they are already shoehorning multiplayer into my single player games means I'd still get hit with the tax).

@BlueOcean That's the thing: like I explained, I simply read all the comments, ALWAYS, more so in order to save myself from making a comment, either partial or complete, that has already been made by someone else before me.

And I wasn't really talking about people copying me, or anyone else for that matter, because it isn't about me at all, but rather about linking to a Microsoft discount for Xbox Live that was already linked to in a previous comment (the only difference being that one was the US site, and the other the UK site, but still the same offer nonetheless). It really is as simple as that. And again: not meant as an accusation, an insult or to offend, simply an observation and stating a fact.

I'm not out to get you in any way, shape or form. In fact: I often read your comments and have often enjoyed and liked them.

@Ryu_Niiyama Well, whatever the case, if they remain more expensive, then they will never see me buying from them again, well at least: no Xbox Live subscription. I did buy a Forza Horizon 3 expansion from the official site recently, because that was on sale and actually was a good deal.

@ThanosReXXX Agreed. Back in college I would get a 3 month sub for summer break (even though I was still on campus doing research but I digress) so I could get my fight game on but I can't justify paying money that I could spend on another game. I hung out with sony during the Ps3 era but once they went sub and I realize I still wasn't online that much I just don't see the point. It's a waste of money for me and I can't afford to just set it and forget it like I would other things.

If they allowed you to KEEP the xbox one games for gold I'd be more tempted to jump in. Alas. Odd sidestep but after seeing the spiderman pro 4 (which as a big spidey fan I'm going to try very hard to get but I have a conference I have to foot the bill for the next month) I'm wondering if MS will do a Gears X1. I'm looking to upgrade my twins but since I haven't actually touched them in over a year (blame the switch and being homeless but mostly the switch is at fault) I'm overly bothered about it. However it would be nice to have some themed versions of the systems spruce things up a bit.
