I never even looked! That means I'll finally be able to get back to the 0 or 5 by getting some of the achievements!

Unless you fully complete it, then you'll be back wherever you started. :D

The highest-value achievement is 199 GS, awarded for...playing the game in snapped mode. Really, developers?
 
Someone sell me on Game of Thrones. Im a big fan of the show but would I be better off just waiting until all the other episodes are out too?

Its not like I don't have enough to be playing at the moment and I've never really forgiven Telltale for Jurassic Park >.< (Never played their other stuff either).

£4 won't kill me, but as I said, would I prefer to play the episodes together when they're all out? It probably would annoy me having them released and waiting for the next one...

Btw, i've updated the OP if anyone still uses it, its 95% done, just got a few things to change tomorrow (Ori now 2015 etc)

Lol I launched the game in snapped mode so I got that instantly. And so far I'm up to the 384 block.

Threes for $6.99? 6, 9, 9. It all makes sense!

But seriously, for anyone who is OCD about gamerscore, note that every achievement's GS ends in 3, 6, or 9. I'm not sure how reasonable the achievements are for a full completion since I've never played the game, but if you don't get the full 1000 GS then you may have a problem.
lol I might buy this just so I get rid of my uneven achievement points currently needs 1 point to round it off. So if I get one 6 pointer the leave it forever lol
 
I didn't even think <5 achievements were allowed anymore with the change to 1000GS for all games.

I don't know why exactly, and I don't even care about my gamerscore that much, but an uneven one would definitely bug me.

Just wait if you are on the fence..you know it will be on sale soon... first episode was fantastic though and I have no problem paying full price for them. Borderlands was also fantastic.

Seems like kind of a steep price for what the game is, especially since it's (what else) $3 iOS. But man would it be nice to have a gamerscore ending in a 5 or 0 again.

My brother wants to use my account on a borrowed Xbox One because I have live and no Xbox One. Does he need to do some special deactivation like on Playstation when he gives back the console? He will do a factory reset.

Asking before I have problems activating my account on another Xbox One when I buy one.

No. He can set your account to Be the primary one on thr barrowed xbox one, so Live and games Will be shared with other accounts in that console. He can remove this option before returning the console, but a factory reset will erase it. And you can set another console as primary later, the last one os the valid one, no need for deactivation (but since you do not have another, the factory reset will erase it).

Decided to buy the first season/episode/whatever of the GOT game. Never read the books or watched the HBO show. But man, by the end of my first playthrough, yeah I think I'll be hooked on it.

It is the first time I've ever tried out a Telltale game. Never thought I'd have any interest in that kind of thing but now I realize I was wrong. Kind of reminds of me the 'find your fate' books I used to buy when I was a kid. It is very fun!

There is a Twitch stream for Playstation with more than 100k viewers. So if you still need that achievement on the XB1 Twitch app, there you go. Based Sony lol.

I just beat Ryse. Best looking game I've ever seen and it's a year old. I actually really enjoyed the story (albiet, cliche) and don't understand the hate. Sure, it's repetitive but the game is a rock solid 7/10.

Yea, I enjoyed it when I played it. Beautiful Game, when you are outside and you can see the grass blades blowing with the wind, I was amazed! The faces amazing too.

It is one of those games, where those who have played it, really enjoy it.

The reviews I feel were very harsh, and do hope we get a sequel of some sort.

Some more indications Rare is working on an Unreal Engine 4 game:

&#8226;Self-managing and organised with excellent artistic sensibilities
&#8226;Basic practical skills of implementation inside of UE4, Unity
&#8226;Good technical understanding of how to create optimised UI
&#8226;Excellent cross-team communication and influencing skills
&#8226;Demonstrated experience in directing and managing others

https://careers.microsoft.com/jobdetails.aspx?ss=&pg=0&so=&rw=3&jid=158234&jlang=en&pp=ss

I think it's also interesting they are mentioning Unity here. Based on the last couple of Tweets it seems like Rare is working on more than just one project. I'm not sure if they are able to handle two large projects - but something like one bigger game + Battletoads (remember they also extended their trademark here) made in Unity or something like that does not seem unrealistic.

It is also worth mentioning they are still hiring on many positions.

Oh - and we got this:

Hi guys,

this probably isn't the right place to post this, but thought I'd ask anyway. Has anyone heard any more information on the Xbox One version of Smite?

I've never played the PC version, but seeing the trailer for the XB1 interested me very much. I know they said 2015, but wasn't sure if it was early or late 2015.

Any info is much appreciated!

Thanks.

I know I complained about the price, but I really want to play the new Lara Croft game. Picked up the preorder today. Does anyone know when it unlocks? Is it midnight tonight?
 
I don't think that information is right on the website or console.

It says 12/9 12:00am UTC, and I think it's ~12:30am UTC right now.

I only quickly looked when I bought it. I thought it only gave the date not the time. Geometry wars unlocked 8 or 9 pm EST the night before. Skinner did you pick it up too? We'll have to try the coop.

EDIT: Looks like it's unlocked now.

idk if this is the right place, but I noticed there was a khan academy app now. pretty cool stuff. i wonder what else we'll get in 2015.
 
Escapists seems neat, but I thought it was pricey on Steam, and I'm sure they're going to hit us up with that Xbox premium again. :/
 
Regarding Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game, can I invert the controls? I stopped playing the Walking Dead five minutes in because of that.
 
I can see the discounted price for GoT on the website and on the console.

On the console, it doesn't list it as Gold-only discount, but on the website, it won't show it unless I log in.
