Topic: The everything Xbox thread

@DarkRula So, you've gone up against the airplane already, then?

The hardest game I've got all the achievements in would either be Halo 3 or Sonic 06. Two For One in Halo 3 is what makes me glad Switch doesn't have achievements and Sonic 06 is just a broken mess.

@ThanosReXXX Yes, all Showcase events complete.

@DarkRula Ah, good. I always hate spoiling stuff for others (even if it is unintentionally), but seeing the amount of time you've already spent on it, I figured it was safe to mention it.

@ThanosReXXX I don't mind things being spoilt for me, though am usually sensitive about it for others.

Couple of Forza videos, just for the heck of it, and because they're great games.
First up, a bit of Forza history:

Speaking of Forza, heads up guys it seems after September 30th Forza Horizon 2 AND all its DLC will be delisted from the digital store! Get it all now if you want it!!!

@DarthNocturnal Only Motorsport 6 and 7 are left for the Motorsport series, 5 got delisted last year. I guess in a sense this is why Forza has the release schedule it has, so there's always 2 Motorsport and 2 Horizon games available at any moment. Forza Horizon 3 came to replace Forza Horizon, Forza Motorsport 7 came to replace Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Horizon 4 came to replace Forza Horizon 2, Forza Motorsport 8 will come next year to replace Forza Motorsport 6, etc.

Well now we know why MS gave Horizon 2 for free. So that way they can get as much money as possible out of the DLC before it gets delisted.

@Tasuki seems smart to me

I’ve 100%ed Horizon 3 and the Hoonigan expansion, but I’m missing a couple of achievements on Blizzard Mountain, and I’ve barely played Hot Wheels. Hopefully I’ll find the time to 100% those aswell before I get Horizon 4, but there is so much else to play and so little time.

Also, I 100%ed Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 last week, so much brilliance in that collection. Some of the best games ever made, for sure!

The From Software game from Microsoft's E3 (Sekiro Shadows Die Twice) has been confirmed for 22nd March 2019.

Got another video for all you Forza Horizon fans. This one gives you some examples of things you REALLY need to do/have experienced in Forza Horizon 3, before you start with Forza Horizon 4:

I have to say both Titanfall 2 and Battlefront 2's campaigns are tons of fun. I didn't expect that. Shame they're 5-6 hour affairs...but still cool and worth the $5 & $9 investments respectively

Edit: I kind of love this line: " After September 30, players who own Forza Horizon 2 will still able to download and play the game and its associated content as normal. However, Forza Horizon 2 and its DLC will no longer be for sale. Forza Horizon 2 is currently available as part of August Games With Gold so, if you haven’t played it already, now is a great time to grab it."

Translation: Forza Horizon 2 will be discontinued soon if you don't already have it in your library. Please click below to add to library and disregard message."

@Tasuki Maybe but then they put the DLC packs (car pack and Storm Island pack) on sale for $5 each last week..... I'm thinking they just wanted to give it out to as many people as possible before it goes kerplunk and it's a great chance to give away a 1st party like Sony does without really losing anything since it's an old game they were deleting a few weeks later anyway

Yeah I played thru the Titan fall 2 campaign and came away really surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Hopefully the don't shelve the series permanently.

@DarthNocturnal LOL I hear you Well, Titanfall 2 is Respawn, not DICE, so that explains it

Titanfall 2 campaign seems like Halo + Mirror's Edge x Mechs. It's short but shockingly fun.

@redd214 Is it a fun game? Yes. Is it a well made game? Yes. Is it an EA game? Yes. So there's your answer, it will be shelved permanently. Technically I'm betting they're rolling it into Anthem.

@NEStalgia yeah they really sent it out to die sales wise releasing right between battlefield and COD, shame really

@redd214 Ea does that for games they hate. ME3 was released randomly in February with no fanfare. Mirror's Edge Catalyst, the most shameful one (one of the few EA games I'd earmark as "classic") they dropped the week before E3 and never mentioned it again.

@NEStalgia Dont quite agree with that take at all but ok.

Just a heads up to everyone, seems Amazon is ditching their Prime 20% preorder discount here soon. Now it will be a $10 credit but only for certain games. Any preorder made before August 28th will still get the 20% off.Seems like the deals for preordering physical games has run its course

Awwwww I still have my GCU for now, but that's depressing A 20% price hike in games is not going to be fun.
