    My GPU is due to run out 27th.
    I have to let it expire to do the gold+ultimate top up trick.

    Has anyone let their gamepass expire?
    Does it cancel your rewards points or pause them or anything I should know about?

    I don't think it should affect your rewards points as they aren't gamepass rewards they're microsoft rewards, you just wont be able to do the quests anymore I think.

    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I had a rewards balance long before I ever had a game pass sub.

    Double rewards for quests this month but not sure if it will be UK/US only like it has been in the past. I'd suspect not given it's part of the 20th anniversary thing they have going on this year but we'll see later on I guess.

    I think I got a 5 year rewards bonus in the last few months (not that I knew much about it before last year). My game pass is only about 2 years in so that would definitely tie in with the bolded

    Don't suppose we'd get the 6,000 points for MS Flight Sim just by playing it through Game Pass? 😁

    Worth a shot



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Tomorrow, I'll unlock a bonus 2,500 for a 50 week streak!

    Time sure flies when your busy earning points 😀



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    I'm actually struggling for two quick achievements to get this week's streak, not had time go looking.


    Also how bad is the new site? Getting here was a pain in the hoop and then I wasn't sure how to get to the newest post



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Killer instinct : just win a round of survival classic with any character. U can play it on Android touch.

    Day of the tentacle is very small game to load onto PC/Laptop then use Welsh Hunter walkthrough.


    Yes, new site is pants. I have to use desktop version on phone.

    Weekly treasure is there now as is a punch card for 500 points for getting an achievement in one of ten selected games. We've seen that one recently enough I think?

    Any ideas on a quick achievement for this one?

    It's too hot today to put much effort into it 😩



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    State of Decay 2 maybe, theres one for searching 10 containers, Forza Horizon 4 you get one for arriving at the festival site so 10 minutes to get that one maybe.Be sure to activate the punchcard first, I forgot and and to look for another one. All the games are xcloud enabled so no need to waste time installing them.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    ChickenPossible recommends ME: Andromeda. There's an achievement for doing the multiplayer tutorial 🙂

    Thanks for the help lads.. also there's loading up Halo Reach from the Halo Master Chief Collection on the mobile app.. and clicking on the right stick while its loading up for an easy achievement.

    This also seems to save you from downloading the enormous 150gb game



  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭Ultimate Gowlbag


    Anyone with Halo MCC can just go into Reach and into Forge World Map.....achievement pops up after 5 seconds of running around the hanger



  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,073 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    What achievement is that? not sure if I have it already or not.



  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭John Horgan


    Just seen this now, it's called "I'm Sorry, Dave"



  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,073 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Thanks, I do indeed already have it. I ended up doing the andromeda multiplayer tutorial one instead, just did it on the phone through the cloud. Very handy.



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Thanks for the response, apologies for the late reply but the site is so bad now I've kinda stopped using it, it takes too much effort to get where you want.

    Anyway, I've done all the Killer instinct characters. Not sure what the next achievements are on that game - there looks to be a gazillion to get so I expect there are lots more simple ones. So I went for the motor cycle cousin of Day of the Tentacle (which I can't remember the name of) and got 2 achievements after watching the 2nd cut scene. I then saw the 500 point challenge so went for Halo CE and wasted 3 achievements on the first level.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭Treppen


    For killer instinct; You've done:

    all the player Vs CPU achievements

    .....AND ....

    Get each character to level 3 in player Vs CPU achievement

    ....AND....

    Win one survival classic with every character achievements??

    That's at least 60 achievements!

    Full throttle is the name of the game, just look up Welsh Hunter walkthrough

    Another easy one for the 500 points is death by shark in GTA V.

    It's called Out of Your Depth and only takes a few minutes.

    Head towards the pier with the amusements. On the left hand side, under the pier, at the waterfront is a bunch of jet-ski's and a speed boat. Take the boat and head west. If you spot a red blip on the map at any time, that'll be a shark. If not, just keep heading west until the games edge barrier event kicks in. This will kill your engine and your boat will start to sink. Get out of the boat and a shark will have spawned nearby. He might play with you for a few pass by's, but then he'll attack and kill you!

    Gruesome stuff and only worth 5G, but you'll get 500 reward points for it 😁

    went online after doing the andromeda to get the 500, then saw the weekly treasure so that was a handy 650 this morning



  • Registered Users Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    nope, it seems there is more life to Killer Instinct - although I'm on Lv5 with Jago and I don't remember getting any additional achievement after the first win.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭Treppen


    If you go to true achievements you should have unlocked the "Stylish Jago" achievement. Here's the guide...

    Colors for each character unlock at Level 3, so go into Survival or any of the fight modes and win 2 or 3 matches, preferably doing some of the fight challenges associated with each character.


    Maybe skip that achievement mode and go into survival classic, you only need one fight for each of those achievements also.


    Just checked and I have over 100 achievements from killer instinct but I did the Shadow campaign for a bit too



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Golf with friends has a good few easy ones like let the time run out on your shot, or whack the ball out of the course.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭Treppen


    If you have PC/laptop with windows win 10

    100pts

  • Registered Users Posts: 55 ✭✭John Horgan


    Also these can be doubled up on Pc if you've got one.

    I'm always looking for easy achievements for the daily ones



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Didn't get credit for that one, might get on to them later.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Day of the tentacle is easy with Welsh Hunter walkthrough, bout 50 achievements to be had. It's barely any size so even on an old laptop it'd run fine, like Full Throttle

    There's a quick completion guide for Game Pass games on true achievements. It shows you the games on GP that can be done in a few hours for all achievements. I've been using it for ages to pick the next game for daily achievements 😁

    They update it as games rotate in and out of GP too, so it's always up to date 👍
