Just because we had to delete and repost this doesn't mean these games aren't still coming soon! pro tip: play Gears 5 on Sep. 6 (4 days early) with XGP Ultimate all dates: https://t.co/TcXYjowLUz pic.twitter.com/0CCThbSCMd — Xbox Game Pass (@XboxGamePass) September 4, 2019

"I've been told, by very reliable people that Starfield was 100% an Xbox exclusive. I've even made bets about it, and I don't bet unless I know I'm willing to bet. So I'm really, really confident that Starfield is only releasing on Xbox when it does, and I've been told as well that Microsoft is trying their hardest to get the game out for this holiday. They really want Starfield out this holiday. The game's basically sort of finished - it's in bug squashing mode right now, very much like Halo Infinite, and it would be a big boon for Game Pass and Xbox if both Halo and Starfield could launch this fall."

Of all the games presented today, this was the one that captured my interest the most! What Is Obsidian’s Pentiment? - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Josh Sawyer’s just-announced medieval narrative mystery, Pentiment, has been in development for about four years now. But if you ask Sawyer, it really started way, way back in 1992.

WARNING: Mid life Crisis Rant from an OLD MAN. If that sounds like something you don't need to read or experience I totally understand and recommend you swipe down to at least the next topic below. PEACE and GOOD DAY! ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................... THIS is meant to make someone laugh, take a ride down a road with a fellow board member here that's been a gamer my whole life. A very hard worker, a very good husband, a husband of 29 years. A father of 6, with now 10 grandkids. A lover of Cars, the out doors, barbeques and kayaking, walking out 14 year old German Shephard, etc, etc! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holy Moly I do very well think I might just have made the scariest decision driven by me minds inner thought as to NOT FEEL AS OLD as I AM! I wear a T-shirt that says "It's hard to believe I'm the same age as OLD PEOPLE!" because I'm old, I JUST AM. I don't want to be old so what do I do?? Well I have pondered this very thought now for say 15 years? What can I do to make me YOUNG AGAIN? Can't chase down a young woman in her say mid twenties and sweep her off her feet, that comes with too many variables 1. Divorce, yes divorce from the woman that has stood proud by my side through some very horrific situations and NEVER once wavered. Nope this is a NO GO! The only other thing is spend money, yea SPEND A STUPID AMOUNT OF MONEY!! On something, something that would bring me back to a time once beloved. A time where I was care free and STUPID and didn't worry about anything at all ever. Except maybe was I going to run out of gas! A time before any of my KIDS, before all 6 were ever even though of...... a time say early spring 1968! Well not that far, I wasn't born then. I always thought though that I should've been born in 1968. This year in imprintented in my mind though as I was born in 1969! Yes I am 55yrs young. I was born and brought home in my fathers 1968 chevelle ss 396. I was driven everywhere in this car as a small child. Up to about 14yrs old when my dad left my mom and wasn't heard of again. He left in that very 1968chevelle ss 396. I should HATE that car, why is this car the most beautiful car that has EVER been made. It checks EVERY SINGLE BOX in mu car brain. It's my dream car. I owned a 1968 malibu when I was 17. Before I had a license. I mowed lawns, and had a paper route and I saved every penny. The time came in 1985 to buy my first car, that green 68 chevelle malibu. On top of the world and the envy of all my friends I snuck out and hit a deer on the freeway drinking causing bad damage to the cars left quarter panel, front windshield, hood, tires and linkages etc as it nearly rolled but came to rest against a tree rather abruptly. I was ok, a bit rattled. Cops were called we had been drinking, I was underage of course and put on probation and made to sell the car as a punishment also. Over the years I've seen thousands of these amazing cars. They were and STILL are very much my DREAM car. I have dreamt about owning another for now 40 years. My wife is very well aware of my attraction too. Almost 30 years to gether it's come up hundreds of times through the years. Now having raised out beautiful children, half went to collage the rest out into society and have made up proud very much. There are good kids and have rewarded us with may Grand kids like I said above. Back to the last few months leading to my 55th birthday and my wifes too as we are only 6 days apart in age. I'm a March 4th baby and she's a March 10th baby. Kinda cute in it's own way but I'm the oldest and she must respect her elders....lol Anyway, like I said I have looked at these cars many times, even thought about owning one again. They still remind me of my father, and my stupid youth and I have always wanted one. Long story I told you and if your still here I'm sure I'm going to hear about it but it's coming to the end I assure you friends!! The last 6 moths or so I have really ramped up looking for a really good representation of one of these classics and WE FOUND ONE! YES WE FOUND MY DREAM CAR a 1968 SS 396 badged but under the hood is a very modded 454 dynoed @439 HP, 411 at the wheels. That's all fine and good but 90% of these cars are fancy looking engines but are usually a polished turd. There notoriously riddled with rust issues as they leaked everywhere especially in the midwest to the east coast with all the snow and ice/salt. To find a fully Frame off restored 68 chevelle they run in the mid 60k and up depending on lots of stuff. This car was done RIGHT. It's so beautiful underneath just as much as the top and everywhere in between. This was a finished restomod in 2017 painted a beautiful Burgundy with the triditional while nose strip that runs across the front of the cars hood / nose and down the front nose edge and along the bottom of the car on out the back. It has Vintage air conditioning, the 454 motor is dressed in everyth chrome, new absolutely EVERYTHING IS brand new. headlights, all glass, all brake lines and its 4 wheel disc breaks. Power brakes and steering., Led headlights and leg gauges but in a time exact period dash. Interior is to die for all black, with all modern but time looking bucket seats, all belts even shoulder belts! It's a Hurst 4 speed manual with retro alpine sound system, brand new rubber and beautiful time specific rims not those 22" rims with stupid 1 1/2 inch tires on them these kids seem to do to everything. These are right, new and perfect. There were 3 issues. T really small blemishes on the painted hood. and the backup light don't work for some reason. This car is my dream and guess what friends.......Yea: IT"s MINE!!!! We have gone back and forth and even the Camp fire was brought up and us loosing EVERYTHING and have been struggling to start over and firmly plant our feet again. We are blessed to even be in a position to even think about this, but the timing was/is right and it's a DONE DEAL! Money wise 'll be loose and say it started out being 73k This is a very large amount of money, to anyone and yea to us especially. WE OVER A WEEK OF FACETIME AND JUST GETTING TO KNOW HIM THE PRICE WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO A NUMBER iI WAS OK WITH AND HE WAS OK WITH! Mid life crisis? Investment, investment in ME? In the end I do not know but It's a DREAM! A dream that I have DREAMPT now over 40 years! Everyday at least once I have dreamed about owning a 68 chevelle again and that dream is now a reality. Well it's paid for and headed my way. Arrival is saturday! Thoughts? Anyone else getting older and starting to feel like mid life stuff is in the mind more and more> Do you have dreams? Dreams like this that can if you work hard enough and save and live right can be obtained sooner or later. WHATS A REAL DREAM WORTH TO YOU? Thanks for taking this ride with me, the ride with me and my family in 2018 and that fucking fire. Through the Loss of our son and these boards being so fucking loving and comforting and a great place to vent and be among like minded people when we/ I NEEDED IT THE MOST. Most don't know this about me, but I'm not a part of any social media out there in anyway. I have NEVER been on facebook, snapchat, instagram, tiktok, twitter, etc. NEVER EVER! These gaming boards and you people are my only like connection to anytime of social media that I partake in and I appreciate that here I can make a post like this and it's not just sent to oblivion where no one will ever see it. It might get moved but it's ok.....I just wanted to, NO NEEDED to share! I'm getting older but am a kid at heart and I appreciate that I am a member of someplace, a member of here! Thank you guys..... MAY ALL YOUR REAL DREAMS COME TRUE!

We will get to see the balance changes and other updates coming to the game!

EXCLUSIVE | Microsoft plans Starfield launch for PlayStation 5 - XboxEra XBOXERA.COM For many weeks now, rumours have persisted regarding Microsoft’s intentions to release a number of 1st party games – namely Hi-Fi Rush and Sea of Thieves

Did the Skeletons thrones last night with @Emblazon and @kittykat. Man it's weird how such a simple task can become an adventure especially when dealing with other online players. We had to find another crew to help us find and sit on the thrones but had no luck. The first sloop we approached to help us was out at sea. It looked like he was all for cooperating. When we got to the island to search for the Throne, Kitty Kat and Emblazon went on the island while I stayed on the boat to look out for other pirates, the ship we thought was gonna help us out start shooting cannon at our galleon. I didn't realize it was him that was sinking us as I went down to the bright to repair our boat. Then he boarded the boat and started slashing at me yelling "arrrrg". Our boat sank so we spawned elsewhere to look try again to find a friendly crew to help us. The second sloop we found was in the middle of digging up some treatsure. We slowly rolled right next to them using our megaphone stating our intentions and they freaked out and booked it. We had the winds at our back so we caught up quick and we yelled at them that we don't want to loot them but they just kept sailing away so we just let them go. We switched servers and found a sloop out in the distance. As we tried to sail towards it we get attacked by the Kraken. This would be the second time we gotten attacked by the Kraken in the span of 1 hour or so. The sloop just sailed around us watching the Kraken tear up our ship. We managed to get away but then a storm fell right on top of us. We were running low on planks and felt the game really didn't want us to complete this event. We managed to find our way out of the storm and as the sun came out we see the sloop anchored at a sunken ship. Me and Kitty Kat hop on their sloop with treasure. We see one of the players AFK. Kitty Kat waves at Kim and I'm just jumping around with the treasure in hand to show that we are friendly. He comes back to and he thinks we want his loot. We explain that we want thrones and they agree to help us. In return we would give them a mauraders and captains chest for their services. As we pull up to a nearby Outpost so they can turn in their loot before we head off for the Thrones another galleon apporached us. We try to communicate to the that we are friendly and are on our way to do the weekly event. Well they fired their cannons at us so it was on like Donkey Kong. They had no chance against us and the sloop working together. We fired away and did a good amount of damage to them. So they retreated. We continued with offloading our loot and they decided to come back for seconds. But once docked it was an all out battle for the island. We killed most of them and suck their ship. They spawned back and we left stranded at the Outpost with no ship. It didn't have to come down to this if they hadn't fired on us Well after a total of 4 hours we completed the weekly event. I had a blast and working with another crew is definitely the best aspect of it. Nothing like sailing with like minded pirates. Here are some picks of our adventure.

From Andrew Marmo: Internal Wal-Mart inventory system memo: From Wario64:

Bethesda is making an Indiana Jones game WWW.THEVERGE.COM From the studio behind Wolfenstein Interesting. First question would be if this will be exclusive...

And much more in IGN's latest editorial: How Xbox Is Changing the Nature of Exclusivity - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Conversations with a number of industry analysts have convinced me that 2024 is the year we finally start seeing Xbox’s grand ecosystem strategy - and all it entails for exclusivity, multiplatform play, and cloud gaming - finally start to take shape. What a wild time for the industry. Mid-range budget games only viable on Xbox & PC when they can be ported elsewhere. There's gotta be some flaw in the business model here that seemingly caught them by surprise. I can only imagine Microsoft expected Games Pass to take off more than it has by now. @Commissar SFLUFAN This all gives even more credence to the things Larian Studios is saying. Maybe at some point the powers that be decide these types of games aren't worth making anymore, and only the kind that drive subscriptions are worth seriously investing in. That means more of this: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/weaker-subscription-deals-have-hit-indie-publishers-says-analyst
