Been looking at this one. Never played the original so it would be brand new for me.

I don't know if there is some magic trick, but I just logged on the new Xbox, all my games were listed, and I downloaded/installed the ones I wanted to play right from the "games" screen.

Looks like COD WW2 map pack is out today for Xbox. I'm not buying the season pass, as my interest may wane before they are all out. Anyone play this already on PS4? I see one is a remake, but I don't remember the map. I'm wondering if I skipped the game it was on.

The map remake was Resistance on MW3. Has an alley on one side where B flag was, an area you could walk through apartments in the middle (or through a gate up to a small fountain), and a stairway on the opposite side from the alley side where C flag was at the top of the stairway.
The new map Valkyrie is pretty good, although a bit small. It's well balanced though and B flag is a struggle in Domination.
I'm not a huge fan of Anthropoid. It's a bigger map, but the sightlines are terrible/campy and I'm just not a big fan of the design.
If you like War mode though, I do think the new map is fun. Mostly more of the same (blow up radio equipment, escort tank) but it does add saving hostages to the mix and the map is fairly balanced IMO.
And if you like zombies, the new zombie map is decent. Although I feel like zombies have just gotten way too difficult for your average player. There is zero chance a normal player could ever beat the Easter eggs without looking it up online, and even then it's usually way too difficult for people of my skill level to ever hope to accomplish.

I don't know how it works on xbox but on PS4 it goes like this.
Account 1, Account 2... PS41, PS42
Account 2 sets themselves as the "owner" of PS41
Account 1 sets themselves as "owner" of PS42
Buy all games on Account 2
Account 2 then logs into PS42 and gets to play all the games that are in their library
Account 1 logs into PS41 and gets to play all games at are in the "owner's" (account 2) library

Anyone want to swap for PS4 COD WWII? I am so bad at FPS I hate it.
Love (and have) Skyrim. Have the VR headset. Played a lot of Witcher as well. Didn't really get into Fallout. Don't have the time to devote to getting good at sports games.
LMK what you've got if you're interested. PM is probably best so as not to muck up the thread.

They’re are going to fix it from what I’ve read. Big patch should be out soon.
I haven’t played it since the binder the other night when I posted but I’m itching to play again.
Keep us posted. This will probably be my next purchase. Unfortunately it seems that standard operating procedure should be to hold off on buying big RPGs these days until the developers work the kinks out.

Black Friday purchase. This game looks amazing and right in my wheelhouse.
I have such a huge back log I am playing through and MLB The Show 18 and Far Cry 5 are around the corner.....and I have about 6 other games I want to finish before Black Friday 2018.
The Witcher 3 is simply marvelous. I will finish this plus all the DLC before year end hopefully.

The Sage of Tornado Man: Episode 6: Japanese Fighting Chicken
It wasn’t long after dispatching Ghom that the party was able to make their through hundreds of succubi (which, by the way, Tornado Parents had forgotten have their ####### hanging out) and destroy Cydea. I’m glad myTornado Man is only 6 because if he’d been to the point where hormones were flaring, that would have been a super uncomfortable fight. As it was, we dispatched Cydea quickly and made our way, uneventfully, to Azmodan.
As we were entering Azmodan’s chamber Tornado Dad told Tornado Mom, “Remember, Azmodan instantly kills the first person he sees so make sure to let Tornado Man go in first”, loud enough for Tornado Man to hear. Tornado Man started to hesitate before deciding that Tornado Dad was full of it. With his classic, “Don’t worry, I’m a Barbarian, I’m the strongest” line, Tornado Man led the group into the fray. Azmodan proved to be a chump and cried while Tornado Man cackled like a mad man. Seriously, it was disturbing how joyful he was at the destruction of his enemies.
Upon return to the Keep, it was discovered that Adria had sacrificed her daughter, Leah, to not only summon Diablo out of the black soulstone, but allow him to absorb the other souls that had been captured inside of it. Diablo was gone, having made his way to the heavens to destroy the angels once and for all. Tornado Man and his sidekick parents would follow.
When the group entered heaven they were confronted by the leader of the angels who blamed Tornado Man for the impending doom of heaven. Tornado Man replied, “Dude… it’s not our fault you’re not strong enough! We’re coming to help you anyway. Stop being a jerk”. As Tornado Mom and Dad laughed, Tornado Man said, “What? He was being a baby”.
Tornado Man quickly led his group through the heavens. Tornado Mom and Dad were not sure what happened, but Tornado Man managed to go straight to the next objective in record time. Tornado Man could make no wrong moves. It was as if a mystical force was guiding him. As they were making their through the heavens, Tornado Dad asked if Tornado Man knew what “El Diablo” meant. When Tornado Man admitted he did not know, Tornado Dad told him it was, “a Japanese fighting chicken”. Tornado Mom corrected Tornado Dad and told him that it really stood for, “The Diablo”. Tornado Man decided Mom was right and Dad was “always joking, and your jokes are NOT funny. Especially when you say hi hungry, I’m Dad”. Tornado Man’s a jerk that doesn’t know good humor. Who raised this kid anyway?
With speed run records dashed, the party made their way to Diablo’s lair. Before they entered, they were again accosted by the angel leader who threatened to kill Tornado Man. When Tornado Man's character said it would not be easily done, Tornado Man yelled, "YEAH, THAT"S RIGHT". Right after shouting, the angel would crumble to the ground as Diablo destroyed some item inside a chamber that gave the angels their strength. Tornado Man said, "that's what you get" before leading his party into the chamber. As they entered, Tornado Dad again told Tornado Mom to let Tornado Man lead so Diablo would kill him first. Tornado Man ignored the conversation until Tornado Mom said, “…and take his loot”. At which point, Tornado Man promptly made a U-Turn and refused to lead. After a good 60 seconds of trying to encourage Tornado Man forward, Tornado Mom broke out the ultimate weapon… “Alright, if you’re done playing, I guess we’ll turn it off”. This turned out to be just the motivation Tornado Man needed to lift his spirits as he sprinted to Diablo. The fight was quick and uneventful (thanks easy mode) and Diablo was destroyed. Tornado Man got two legendary items which he said were, “epic loots, bro”.
The group made their way back to the keep where they would sort out loot. This is where Tornado Mom would make a huge blunder. She transmogrified an item. For the next 30-45 minutes, Tornado Man transmogrified every single slot he had equipped. This disturbing trend would continue into the future…

The amount of enjoyment I get from winning a solo Fortnite game is really unmatched. Also I had to clap knowing the guy was viewing me after his death.

I’ve found myself getting closer and closer to the TV for this same reason. They need to start putting a geriatric setting on games for us. Bigger words, quieter music, louder voices.
This might be a good excuse for a newer bigger TV too?

I love my setup where I have two TV's in my living room, main tv and gaming tv. I have it hooked up with an HDMI switch, where I can send my game systems to either TV. When i'm playing something I want to really pay attention to or get immersed in, I can just switch my gaming over to the main TV and surround sound with a couple buttons.
Surprisingly, yes, I actually have a girlfriend that lives with me and "allows" it as long as it's not on the main tv when she wants to be in the room. And that I move the second tv to the bedroom when we have company over.

To be honest, mine likely wouldn't bat an eye if I said I wanted to get a bigger TV for the game room. But, it's only the one game giving me issues. And I wouldn't know WTF to do with another TV. Goodwill I guess.

Every Sunday night we get take out, or pizza or something and eat as a family as we catch up on family friendly sitcoms in the living room. I saw my wife pulling up in the driveway and yelled to my kid in the video game room not to start another game of Fortnite because mom was home with supper. She gets in, we get everything set up and he's still not done. I yell back that its time to eat, and I hear in a protesting voice "but there's only five guys left!" I look at my wife and say "we're going to have to wait" and proceed to explain the importance of his present situation.
He did end up winning.

When my son finally won his first solo match he was dancing around the house like he won the lottery or something. Took a picture of it. Shared it with his baseball team (they all play this game). It was crazy. He did not stop talking about it for hours.

I actually relented and tried the game this weekend. I played three times, died instantly twice as I opened doors. The third time I got in a shootout with a revolved and the other guy had an assault rifle, so I was able to get one shot off before he killed me.
After being frustrated that I insta died twice, my 14 informed me I was waiting too long to jump out of the plane, and that I could jump early and then steer myself to the other side of the board before the bus got there. Thanks for the tip after my third game. Seems like a steep learning curve. I was then informed I waiting too long to play because everyone else is now too good for me. I have news for you...it wouldn't have mattered if I started right away, the kids would still have been too good for me.

See I actually think the game has a nice learning curve / strategy for people who aren’t as good on the joysticks. I won maybe my 40th game last night in duos. I’m 36 years old and not too quick to react, but we built up a base at the end game and I was able to safely shoot to finish out. We literally did not even get shot at once the entire game. Not a single bullet was fired in our direction because we navigated the circle and by the end we had great positioning. The kids drop in the crowded places and fight, I drop out in the boonies and gather.

That's my experience in my 5-6 games a few months ago. If it's on PC, I'd be competitive, but I have no chance on console.
This game looks so boring. I don't understand why so many people are playing it. Mindcraft meets cartoon shooter meets sit around and camp. I'd guess the competitive rush for a game like that is pretty good, but that's it.I’ve won 3 today.

I think it’s amazing. The graphics are cartoonish, but the gameplay is top notch. There’s not really camping unless you want to play that way. I’m booking it for the first 10-15 mins every match, but when you hit the endgame I’m not running out just to see what’s going on. The building adds a huge strategic element to the game.
Best $0 I’ve ever spent for a game.
bigmarc27
Footballguy
Yes and no. There’s maybe 2000 spot on the map where a weapon might be and probably 1000 spots where a chest might be. At the start of each match, I’d say 75% of those are populated with random stuff. It’s the drop rate that changes. You can pull a gold scar but it’s like probably like a .5% chance.
After awhile you know the spots - if I drop where I normally do, I know the 6 possible locations of a chest, but there might only be 3 one game or it could be all 6. What I get is random.

I know there aren't a lot of COD guys in this thread, but do any of you play zombies in COD much? Anyone any good at it?
My friends and I play some, and frankly, we apparently suck. I see tons of stuff around the internet about how the casual Easter egg on Final Reich is so easy and guys easily getting to waves 35+. Well, my friends and I still haven't completed even the easy Easter egg and struggle to make it to wave 20+. I feel like we're doing something fundamentally wrong.
Are there certain patterns or orders to opening stuff or completing the steps that we are screwing up? (I've seen some comments about not buying perks or pack-a-punching too early, but what rounds should those things be done?) Are we just using wrong weapons, wrong loadouts? So frustrating to play for an hour and the furthest we've made it is the blimp step.

2 weeks till MLB The Show 18 drops.
I pick it up on the 23rd......then have a 7 day cruise. LOL. But....loving what I am seeing in the developer twitch streams. Big changes to Road To The Show and how you progress your player. It is all performance based now. No more training points. You have 5 different archetypes to choose from as well. And when you get much older you can change the archetype. Regression begins at age 34. Also the OF fielding camera has been improved.
The game is shaping up to again exceed the previous version (I have been a loyal fan since 2009). Every year this game make subtle yet impactful gameplay improvements. Hands down the best sports franchise on console gaming bar none.

For those of us who are no longer Mountain Dew’d up twitchy teenagers, I’ve had a lot of success in Fortnite riding the storm. Land on the outskirts like Junk Junction, Snobby Shires, Flush Factory, etc. I always ride the bus as long as possible because most people are too impatient to wait. Then pick the location way out from there. You can usually get 100 shield, lots of ammo and decent weapons without anyone bothering you.
Then start running and stay near the edge of the storm if you can so you know nobody is on your back.

My son is quite good at Fortnite, but when I want to play with him, he humors me to duo up with him. We generally drop at Shifty Shafts and go from there. Lot of loot areas for generally fewer people. Getting better the more I play. The wife and my daughters are all gone for a few days so my son and I are hitting Fortnite hard tonight after a BBQ restaurant. He has senior prom tomorrow, so our gaming time is limited.
