No, left it after beating it and a bit of chest collecting, might go back as there’s loads more to do I guess?

You get the

high jump

when you get

the last golden barrel by beating the couple of hoards of guys that come at you at the back

of the starting area.

Well worth doing before collecting the rest of chests as you will

be bouncing all over the top

of game area with

the really high jump.

Leave auto renew on and it’ll give you a free month so you’ll get 14 months

does it matter where I buy the various memberships for this to work? as in can I buy the 12 months gold and 1 month ultimate on cdkeys?

Hey guys i added 2 x 12 months xbox live gold about a month ago. I then added a gamepass month for 12euro. Today the gamepass expired and now i cannot access live at all without it seems renewing a gamepass? Is this possible or am i doing something wrong?

Take a look at your services and subscriptions here, see if you can see anything.

Do you still have the Live codes that you used? Is it possible that the codes failed to load on?

It says ‘ Subscription converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate’

Yeah I’m sure they added properly as I had to use a VPN and applied both of them at the time. Very strange altogether ?

Have a look through your order history, search for Subscriptions and you should be able to see what happened when you applied them.

Got through to support on the phone and they were very helpful. I added 2 x 12 months and then a gamepass and it cancelled for some reason and re added itself. But they overwrote the gold sub and when the month gamepass expired I had no gold. They just added the gold and gamepass and now have it sorted untill january 2023

Ah, thanks for the tip, wasn’t clear what that whole thing was about and was too underpowered to clear it before.

Enjoying Control so far, unusual story and decent combat, good difficulty/progress balance, reminds me of Half Life 2 a bit (but not as good).

Literally just watched the end credits. An excellent game overall.

Very much a spiritual successor to Alan Wake and i'm delighted that it might lead to some kind of follow up to that game. I absolutely hated Quantum Break so i had low expectations for Control but Remedy got the balance of combat and exploration just right this time around. I'd highly recommend a playthrough.

I’m a few hours into the main storyline, I presume you can go back and do the side missions later, I’m just ignoring them when they pop up?

You most certainly can.

Excellent, look forward to even more weirdness, great to see a game push the boundaries a bit in terms of storytelling.

Big thanks to all those who have given the details on how to convert Gold to Game Pass - I have followed the instruction and have three years Game Pass for the price of 3 years thanks to you all

Note in my case rather than buy 3 * 12 month passes I bought a 24 month pass and then a 12 month pass which was slightly cheaper again and worked perfectly

Started Jedi Fallen Order this morning. The load times when you die are absolutely brutal, even when playing off the Series X SSD.

Same here. I'm finding with game pass I've no incentive to go running around maps doing silly side challenges. Especially this game where trying to find something can sometimes get frustrating. If I had bought the game I'd probably be looking to get the most out of it.

Control only really gets going when you have all the abilities unlocked, I really liked it.

I'm a bit late to the control chat, but I find I have to nearly force myself to play it, something just isn't grabbing me. I appreciate all the collectibles and sidestory, but there's way too many of them, it feels like I'm constantly picking stuff up and then going into the inventory to read it rather than actually traversing the world. And the thing is, the text stuff is some of the best writing in it.

I'm at the ashtray maze now, so will soldier on to see the ending but I'm not as enamoured with it as I expected, and indeed, I even like quantum break, so had high hopes for this.

What is this 'Waiting for XBox' and 'Check your console' nonsense I see on the Game Pass app?

Enjoyed a few hours with Supraland there, fecking had to turn it off at 23:40. Time just flew, work in the morning

A game in which to live. Nearly more of a hobby than a game.

EA Play for PC integration for GamePass delayed until next year.

Lads, my friends sons game pass ran out. Is it still possible to do whole trick with toping up with one year xbox live and then upgrading it, as far as I remember Microsoftphased out those 1 year subs you could get? Or are they like 6 month or 12 month codes anymore?

Plenty of 12 months subs on there

Can be converted to GPU afterwards by redeeming a 1 month sub of GPU

quad_red · 17-12-2020 05:49PM

Can I just thank everyone on this thread? Just converted up to Feb 2023 to gamepass for nought (from gold).

Brilliant work. Just got a series x and downloading doom eternal, no man’s sky and more now.

So he needs it to run out, add 12 months and then upgrade to ultimate, thats it?

That's it. Once it expires he can stack upto 3 years of Gold and convert the lot to GPU by buying 1 month.
