Did they ever fix the buy a reg sub and upgrade it to ultimate trick?

Im about to expire and want to renew on the cheap.

It's not 1-1 conversion anymore but it's still not bad. Buy 3 years worth of gold and convert over for 2 years.

Is it the same format as Fallen Order? I couldn't get into it. Combat was okay, but the first couple small maps that were sort of linear mazes just wasn't interesting. Felt on rails, but not straightforward or interesting enough to not just be annoying.

Same. I got lost in a few maps and couldn't be bothered to look up how to proceed. Cool game, but I think I only played a few hours before I gave up.

Thing I like about games like that is the exploration. Doesn't have to be open world. I love the Dark Souls setup of maps and world. Explore all over to find items / loot.

Then you have this game. You start exploring and .... ponchos. No weapons, armor, gizmos or whatever. Just cosmetics. You'd think after your third one that maybe after this 10 minute jumping puzzle off the beaten path, there will be something. But no, another color poncho. Pointless to explore the maps. Whoever thought that was a good design choice, and the people with the power to implement it, should be fired from gaming.

I liked the gameplay of Fallen Order but hated pretty much everything else. Survivor was a vast improvement. It's a lot less linear and more open world-ish. Locations are generally a lot bigger too.

And the stupid ponchos were almost entirely removed (IIRC there's one left and it's more or less just there as a joke reference to the first game). "Loot" still isn't great but it's at least worthwhile to collect this time.

it is more of the first game, just this time with open world, so if you hated the first game i doubt you'll like the second one but you can try em both on gamepass (EA play etc) and make up your own mind for just a $1 or whatever the trial version of gamepass is

i found the open world of survivor pretty awesome, its new star wars planets and the "intro" mission is on Coruscant I believe so thats pretty fucking cool. Takes place 5 years after fallen order/revenge of the sith and 14 years before a new hope.

I’m really enjoying Diablo IV on GamePass. Haven’t gotten the completionist fatigue I typically experience with RPG’s.

Diablo 4 takes a long time to get through all the mediocre bullshit to finally start getting to be decent at higher levels and tier 4 where it feels like the real game starts and you're actually building your character.

Diablo games have always had varying slogs to get to the end game, but D4 wasn't even interesting the first time. And even when it gets better it's still just decent, not great.

Worth "free" though.

The problem is now you cannot find the 3 month Xbox Live membership cards anywhere to do the 3:2 conversion. You used to be able to go to Eneba.com and buy 3 month xbox live cards for 7 bucks. 90 days would convert to 60 days of Gamepass Ultimate when you would redeem them. I cannot find those digital cards anywhere now :( I am good until August 2026 as I stacked up when they said Xbox Live was going away.
