Official Xbox One Thread

From what I have seen on Reddit in the past people posting from China have said that newer consoles are not hard to acquire.

I know I've heard about this before and admittedly I haven't played my XBO as much as my other consoles (mostly just been watching tv through the pass through), but why is it so damn difficult to look at achievements? I'm actually looking for videos on YouTube right now on how to do it. LOL. I've been playing Guacamelee lately (man I love that game) and want to check the cheevo list but can't figure out how to. I played the game on PS3/Vita before but it didn't have a full trophy list (at least I don't think it did?) so I know this version will have more to unlock considering all XBO games have 1000 GS. The closest I could find was pulling up my profile and it shows the last few I've unlocked, how many total there are and how many points I have out of 1000 but I still can't find the full list?

Edit: Well, it looks like this video explains my issue. It's so dumb why they aren't readily available and easy to access.

November Update Preview

Getting better and better each and every month. I love the DLNA streaming stuff from the October, and the background stuff will be pretty sweet, too.

Man, the weekly deals on the Bone are just awful (both in what is offered, and the discount that it is offered at).

Chariot was at least pretty fun in the brief time that I spent playing it.

I didn't even know you had an Xbox One?

Got it about a month or so ago. An acquaintance won one and I bought his Kinectless one for $150.

You can't beat that.

Just in time for Sunset Overdrive and the MCC too.

Bonus. I'd buy an Xbox One for $150.

Weirdly enough, while I'm pretty excited for Overdrive, I'm holding off for a bit on it. I'm a huge Bayonetta fan and have been chomping at the bit for Bayonetta 2. I really hope that Overdrive is good though. It looks like a video ass video game, so fingers crossed.

It took me a second to realize what you were referring to with "the MCC". I will definitely end up with that, but let's not forget my favorite Halo games are the bastard children of the series

So, Volgarr the Viking has hit the Juan, it's as awesome as it was, and it's FREE for Gold users. Please do yourself a favor and pick it up if you're a subscriber. Well worth it. Really hard, really awesome retro game.

I saw that on CAG yesterday. Looking forward to checking it out.

Anybody that picks up the Sunset Overdrive bundle will get Ryse for free. MS was sending out messages last night

That expired yesterday. I guess it was a one day thing.
