Impulse buy! Time to try Yakuza!

That's so crazy to me. Knock on wood scenario here, but it has not happened to me yet with Watch Dogs Legion. Is it a platform issue?

Nope, Ubisoft server side issue

[Your Mom]

I've never played a Yakuza game before. Do guys threaten to powerbomb you often?  

[Maxx]

Yeah, its part of their culture.

[Bobfoc]

The new Yakuza game looks to have really gone all-out with the ridiculousness. I like the other ones because all the zany stuff is done straight-faced, which makes it more endearing. I'm not sure I like the new approach all that much. It feels a bit "too cool for school".

Srar: my game keeps messing up and losing my saves

Jericode: put it on easy mode

Ohh I totally missed the post before it, I thought she was just saying it was too difficult.

Point still stands.

What’s the difference between Xbox live and game pass or is there no difference?

 

[Kaney]

Xbox Live is a subscription that lets you play multiplayer games online. Game Pass is a subscription that gives you access to a bunch of on-demand games. I think you can buy combined subscriptions but they do different things.

[Bobfoc]

Xbox Live is just the service that lets you play online, whereas Game Pass Ultimate has online play and a big library of games. I imagine that Xbox Live will soon merge with Game Pass and cease to be its own standalone product.

[Meacon Keaton]

So if I have no desire to play online, I can just get Game Pass and still enjoy the catalog without Live?

Correct!

I usually liken it to Netflix, but for video games. 

[Meacon Keaton]

Thanks. I was worried I'd have to get Live in order to use it, and I have no intention of playing online. Seemed like a lot of money if that were the case.

On a certain tier of XBOX Game Pass, you get games with Gold. 

[Bobfoc]

Also, if you buy an Xbox Live subscription, I think you can still convert it to Game Pass for £1/$1.

Is there a benefit to that? 
 

[Bobfoc]

Well, yes. You get a Game Pass subscription, which would normally be more expensive than an Xbox Live subscription. You're saving money.

GamePass gives you access to games on the XBOX. You give Daddy 9$ and Daddy gives you GamePass. 

XBOX Live lets you play Fortnite with your friends online. If you give Daddy 6$, Daddy will give you XBOX Live to play Fortnite with your friends. 

Or, you can pay for XBOX Game Pass Ultimate, which is more expensive than GamePass, but gives you GamePass on XBOX and on the computer you always see Daddy playing with. You also get XBOX LIVE to play Fortnite with your friends. If you want that, give Daddy 15$ a month.

Oh yes please!

[Meacon Keaton]

I think I understand now, but I know for a fact that I’m now aroused. So thank you.
