Welp, figured out why my digital copy of Anomaly Hunter: Observation Duty keeps crashing to the home screen of my Xbox immediately upon starting the game: on the storefront in tiny letters under the name it says "Not compatible." God damn it, thanks, Microsoft. Not only for offering the game for sale on a platform you already KNOW it can't be used on, but for further allowing me to BUY it without so much as a warning that it can't be used on the platform I bought it on. I'm so mad, right now, I could just...

So Dragon's Dogma 2 has only one save, and in some cases it can be corrupted. You are kind of screwed if you are on console, whereas if you are on PC, you should download this.


Why the fuck do I have to download a mod just to get a game to work? What about the people that don't know about that and get their save corrupted or... are on console?

I hope they give you your $ back.

Crew 2 did not work, I think as it hates that I have my accounts to my various apps linked, which is required in many instances. Not gonna unlink them for a game I got for $1. Tried on Steam 1st and they did give me my $1 back.

Ticked that I went to log into my OG Xbox One (2013). As the kids lived with me when I got it, 3 profiles. For some reason, it wants me to re-authorize on all of them. F'em. Playing PS3 instead.

No refunds for digital purchase, and no easy way to get in contact with an actual human to plead my case. It was only $10, but still, it was MY $10, and they literally sold me a bill of goods.

I am so sick of all the construction 🚧 and utility work that keeps popping up in every place I'm driving towards, or is within my destination.

I’d put a complaint in. Product is defective and there was insufficient to the point of non-existent warnings available for you to make an informed purchasing decision.

I might research other avenues besides links on Microsoft's website, but for $10, I'm not going to waste too much time. I recall years ago when I somehow wasn't able to access my account at ALL, and raised enough dust that I managed to get someone on the phone, but for the life of me, I have NO idea how I got there.

Understandable. I actually got a $10 refund from Sony, when a game I downloaded, wouldn't work on my PS4. Slice, Dice, and Rice. When I got my PS5 last year, the game would work all of a sudden. I guess I was really unlucky at the time and something was my PS4, and would not play that game no matter what.

Rubbernecking at a car accident/pulled-over vehicle on a highway should be punishable by immediate and permanent loss of driving privileges. Twice in the last week and a half have I seen traffic on a major highway slow down to less than half the speed limit, in all three lanes, because of a police car having pulled someone over. You're not going to get to see a dead body; KEEP FUCKING DRIVING!

Speaking of Sony and refunds, I wish I could refund Nine Sols. The PS4 port has memory management issues that means area transitions are likely to crash the game. It's usually 50/50, but certain triggers will crash the game 100% of the time.

There's a list floating around that has mapped out the minefield of glitches and how to work around them, and I can verify the game is technically beatable if you're willing to treat the thing like you're trying not to wake up the ebola honey badger across the room, but my position is I shouldn't have to. Not that it matters any. Sony's is that so long as the devs are aware there's an issue at all, that must mean they're working on it, and therefore I can go fuck myself.

The human body sucks. Flex your leg too hard and you'll get a cramp in your calf that will make you fall over in pain. Brilliant design for when you're sprinting.

Not too much of a complaint, but I dropped and unsubscribed Second Wind, Sphere Hunter, and Gaming Brit. I'm sick and tired of all their shit or they are really boring now. I'm satisfied not watching them anymore. Especially GB.

So Microsoft has this Rewards program where you can gain points for using their products, like doing searches on Bing for example, which you can then redeem for stuff like gift cards or free Gamepass and stuff. Wasn't great or anything, but I didn't mind those couple minutes a day for the occasional Bol gift card. Except this month, they have been reducing the point gain and streak bonuses left and right, by half or more. Must be their Christmas present.

Guess they want to get rid of it by nerfing it into the ground so people fall off. 'Conclude' no likes it, then use that as an excuse to shutter it altogether.
