I started Dodgeball Academy. It’s similar to Golf Story if you played that. It’s pretty good. My biggest complaint, which is common in text heavy RPGs, is the amount of time I need to mash A to get through parts of the game and its dialogue.

ort Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 So I wanted to try this out and was initially annoyed that my Xbox Live renewed for a year before I could upgrade to Gamepass ultimate or whatever, but now I find that there is some sort of "glitch" or loophole in the system to where if you take advantage of the $1 trial month, it converts all of your remaining Xbox Live Gold time to this game pass ultimate without having to pay extra. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tip: How to get 3 years of access to hundreds of games for dirt cheap WWW.PCWORLD.COM You can save hundreds on an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription with this method. And if your timing is lucky, you'll pay even less to pull it off! Has anyone tried this? All of this stuff is kind of confusing if you don't live in this world all the time. If I have 11 months left before my Xbox Live renews and I upgrade to this gamepass ultimate it just works? I'm trying to figure out if it really is that easy? And once I do this, I will be able to stream all of these games on my Mac and my newer iOS devices? Has anyone actually tried this and can tell me how well this works? Particularly on iOS or a Mac browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a glitch, you can just stack it. It's been like this since the beginning and yeah I bought like 2 cheap year codes a while ago before I converted.

It would convert all remaining Live time to Game Pass Ultimate, so you could basically get 3 years Game Pass Ultimate for $180ish or less if you got it on sale. They may have changed it to convert at a 3 months of Live = 1 Month of Ultimate now. So if you have 3 years of Live left, you'll get about 1 year of Ultimate now, or basically MSRP. Or that maybe just for adding more time with 1 Year Xbox Live Cards for existing subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Okay, I signed up for this and it all seems to have worked! Thanks for the confirmation info people... As for streaming... so far I'm not impressed at all. The games look great and move pretty smooth... but there's just enough input lag to make it a completely frustrating experience. It almost feels normal, it's close to being playable... but it's just off enough that it really isn't. It's very annoying. I'll keep trying. I wonder if I had a better internet connection if it would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I've tried this a few more times and the input lag, while a little better, still wasn't good enough for me to consider the game playable. It's so close... yet so far away. Ugh. Another annoyance, that I probably should haver expected or learned via research... two people can't play at the same time. My kids are always fighting over the Xbox... my hope was that one could play on the iPad and the other on the TV... but you can only have one player at a time. Pretty much nothing I bought this for actually works in a. way that is useful to me. It's pretty frustrating... but since it's also basically free, I guess I can't complain... but it would sure be nice if something just worked out for once. Oh well.

ort Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Yeah, I'm still glad I did it, since it really didn't cost me anything over what I already pay for Xbox Live Gold... but it still fails to do the things I most wanted it for which is somewhat frustrating. My kids will enjoy all the games... although my kids are weird and only play like 4 games. They have so little interest in anything new. They just go where all their friends are and thats it. For the time being I can't use it at all. I never shared it here, but a giant tree fell through my house a month ago and my kids room has damage so they are sleeping on the floor of our TV room, which means no game time at all for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I keep trying to stream games hoping against hope that they will suddenly work... but they never do. It's complete and total horse shit trash. It's fucking unplayable garbage. It's endlessly frustrating because I really fucking want this to work and it just doesn't. They shouldn't even call it a beta. It's unplayable. It's a fucking joke. There's enough input lag that you can see it in the fucking menu screen. I just want to play some fucking quake and I can't. I've had the worst fucking day and I want to kill some pixel demon knights and my kids are sleeping in the room with the xbox and my whole house is literally destroyed and ripped apart n and everything is broken. This isn't even a fucking beta. This is nothing. It's broken garbage shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
