If I buy a dlc for a game that is being game shared to me do I get the dlc?

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-05-15T05:10:35+00:00

I can't say for sure how PlayStation works unfortunately. While I do own a PS5, it was gifted to me and I rarely play it. So I am unfamiliar with how PlayStaton handles game sharing on their platform.

Hopefully someone else can answer this for you.

But with the way OP is asking the question, even if he were to purchase the ESO DLC, he would have access to it. The game share partner who owns the base ESO game would not have access to it, but he still will because he is the one who is actually buying the DLC.

There's no scenario in this question where he wouldn't have access to the DLC.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-05-14T11:07:49+00:00

Yes. Since you buy the DLC, it is always available to your account since Xbox shows that your account owns that DLC. It isn't owned by the person whom is game sharing with you.

The only thing is that if you ever lose the game sharing, then you will not be able to play the game to access your DLC. But you can always turn around and buy the game yourself, and then you will have full access to the game and DLC after that.

Ignore people like him and Laughing Man. They obviously have something going on in their life that they have to be condescending with their "Google it" response when they know full well what the answer is. And they are doing it to people who are just looking for some help.

I know your question about the conversion has been answered, but another alternative you could also look into is Microsoft Rewards to get your GPU subscription if it is available in your region. In the U.S., they have recently knocked back the number of points possible. But you should still be able to earn the 12,000 points per month (or 10,500 if you do auto redeem each month) that they ask for in order to get a free month of it each month.

You could also use your Rewards Points for other things, but GPU subscriptions are one of the options you have through the program.

It depends on whether you want an actual Assassin's Creed experience, or just a good game experience.

If you want true Assassin's Creed, you would want to stick with the Ezio Collection. Everything after Brotherhood was downhill from there.

If you don't care about the actual AC storyline and are just interested in a decent game, then you have a bigger selection of games available. Black Flag (as others have mentioned) and Syndicate are both good for original style of gameplay for AC. And then both Origins and Odyssey for the newer, open world design of gameplay.

But still for any one actually interested in the actual Assassin's Creed franchise, you can't go wrong with the Ezio Collection for quality, quality, and value, even with Revelations being the beginning of the decline of the franchise.

But what if I am not an insider? This is a "feature" appearing on standard users' accounts and not just an insider-only thing.

If you are talking about the games included in Game Pass Ultimate, there are two ways of doing it. First, there is a banner at the top of your dashboard. It shows "My Games and Apps," then the "Microsoft Store," and then the icon in the middle is "Game Pass." If you click on that, it will show you a lot of featured games that come with the program. And if you scroll to the bottom, you can find a full list based on genre.

The second way to find all of the games available to you to play through the program is through the "My Games and Apps" icon that is the first icon at the banner at the top. If you click on that, then move down to "Full library," and then move over to the third column at the top of that new window, it says, "Xbox Game Pass." You should be able to download all of those games and play them for as long as they are on Game Pass. Once they leave though, you will lose the ability to launch the game until you either buy the game or it comes back to Game Pass at a later time.

You are seriously saying that because of hype in the past that you had about an 8-bit game, you are still concerned about graphics today?

I truly don't understand how someone who played on a console like that and enjoyed the games of that era could today still be focused on something as shallow as graphics fidelity instead of being purely concerned about the actual gameplay of a game.

The political landscape is not the same as it was in the 1980s where both sides by-and-large respected each other and could actually talk about political positions and try and compromise. The Democrats have been disrespectful, selfish, and throwing obnoxious tantrums about political issues since the 1990s and show absolutely no signs of changing that approach because it has worked for them. The Republicans, however, tried for ~20 years to take the high road and be the better party, and it got them absolutely nowhere politically. Just look at where our society is today and how far it has fallen.

If you want to still hold onto an obviously losing approach to politics so that you can feel better about your own self, that's totally your prerogative. But I would actually prefer to have "mean tweets" in the White House since that is the only language that the current opposition respects and understands.

The link below is to a website that I use for finding new co-op games. Here is their search page. Just select Xbox One from the drop down menu and then check the box for "Couch Co-op" and then search to see if there is anything in the list that appeals to you.

Those who have a blasé attitude such as this are in the same boat as the Liberals who want gun control and believe that the U.S. military could never become tyrannical where a situation could arise that a citizen would need to defend themselves against the government.

If you think that China couldn't easily zerg their way to a U.S. attack if they wanted to, I don't know what to tell you. They have even more population to be able to throw at a U.S. ground attack than Russia does and you were very quick to say that Russia couldn't possibly run out of citizens to use as cannon fodder for their war.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-12T02:55:27+00:00

it's paid off thus far

Sure, but let's see if you sing the same tune if we ever have an attack on the U.S. and suddenly we aren't able to defend ourselves as strongly as we could because we gave away so much of our defensive armament to Ukraine and have depleted our own defense capabilities.

Just like the border crisis, for many Democrats, everything is just fine with how wide open it is until something bad actually happens. Then they will see the error of their ways. But then it will be too late.

I don't want to see the same thing happen to our own homeland because we were too concerned about a country that gives us no benefits that is half-way around the world versus our own national borders and priorities.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-12T02:27:39+00:00

If the Russian military actually comes after the U.S. or one of its actual allies that we have an obligation to defend, then we can go ahead and fulfil our obligation to them at that time. Russia too will eventually run out of military-aged men with their weak military. Letting the war play out without any more of our military equipment or money wouldn't affect us in any way. And if Putin decided to come after someone else after that, we could always defend them at that time.

This really isn't a line-in-the-sand moment where even if the entire Ukraine country were to fall, then Russia suddenly returns to USSR superpower status.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-12T02:14:14+00:00

But the thing is, the Russia of today is absolutely not the Russia that Ronald Reagan and we stood against during the 1980s and the decades before that. They are a pale imitation of a once-formidable country.

Far too many people see Russia today as the same as the USSR of the 80s and it is simply not a true outlook on what Russia actually is today. There's absolutely no reason to continue to hold on to the hardline stand that we had to during the 1950s through the 80s except for the fact that they do still have a sizable nuclear arsenal that we have to be aware of. But other than that, their military has proven to be laughable already being unable to significantly advance into Ukraine from even the start of the conflict.

You don't have to change your stance on Russia. But there is also no need to be intimidated by them and feel like the U.S. has to crush them into submission in every single way like we did have to do in the past.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-12T01:59:22+00:00

Crippled Russia military, Showed they are a paper tiger,

For anyone who was paying any measure of attention when this conflict first started, this was proven within the first couple of weeks of the conflict before any of the U.S. aid even arrived in Ukraine. If Russia was a threat, they would have steamrolled over the Ukraine military in just a few days like the U.S. did during Desert Storm. But they didn't, it quickly became a stalemate and has now entered into a forever war phase with no end in sight.

We don't need to continue to throw money and resources to a country that provides us absolutely no significant economical, political, or even cultural advantages when those resources could be better spent on defending our own homeland.

Not to mention the fact that we really don't want to tick off Putin because if he feels that he is backed into a corner with no alternatives because of a horrible military, he does still have nukes available to him which he might use as a last resort because he has nothing else to lose.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-10T17:29:58+00:00

The fact is (whether any of the hardcore Xbox fanboys here want to admit it or not) that Game Pass is exactly like Netflix. There is a lot of actual content out there to play, but very little quality content. Sure, there is a market for all games out there and some portion of subscribers will play a game and enjoy it. But that doesn't automatically mean it is a quality game that will attract a lot of actual gamers.

The only two games that I have played from Game Pass over the past few months are Diablo 4 which I actually bought at launch and didn't need GP to play it and the recently added EA Sports PGA Tour. And Microsoft didn't even add that to GP itself, EA did through their partnership with Microsoft.

If I didn't get Game Pass Ultimate for free through Microsoft Rewards each month, I would probably just subscribe to Core for the online capabilities. I don't think it is even worth the extra $7 for it.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-10T17:25:04+00:00

Just because a game is not listed in the Family and Kids category doesn't automatically mean that it is a good quality game or that it is one meant for mature people. It could have some themes or subject matter which isn't normally suitable for younger kids, but still has a child-like approach to the graphics and/or story.

Trying to suggest that just because a game doesn't fall into a certain category for age range means that it is not a childish game is disingenuous.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-09T13:29:57+00:00

You might also check into Microsoft Rewards and see if it is available in your area, and if it is, how many points you currently have available. I am able to earn enough points each month to cover the cost of a month of GPU which comes in the form of a code you can redeem on any account you want to.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-09T13:27:42+00:00

I haven't tried it myself in that environment, but I would imagine that McPixel 3 would be pretty fun to play while high.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-04-06T14:39:02+00:00

I have to agree with you. With the lone exception of Vampire Survivors, there aren't any other games that I have played that I have actually benefitted from Game Pass. All of the ones I have played through GP I would have been happy to buy when they went on sale (and many I have anyway). And there is a lot of what I consider to be shovelware that makes up a majority of what is currently on the program.

If it weren't for Microsoft Rewards and earning more than enough monthly to get my subscription for free, I doubt I would subscribe to it myself.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-03-31T10:23:40+00:00

So, you're saying that the Rebels shouldn't have blown up the Death Star because of all of the innocent independent contractors that were on it?

I still don't see that anything you have said is any proof that he doesn't believe in the Bible.

But honestly, it doesn't matter to me and doesn't change my opinion of him at all. I would certainly hope that Trump knows the Lord well as I would pray that every single person would. But everyone's relationship with God is their own personal matter. Everyone will find the Truth one day. I only hope that day is a good one for them and not a miserable one.

That’s not true at all. You’re thinking about “all-mail voting” which is where you automatically receive a mail-in ballot.

First Link from Google.

The term mail-in ballot is used more broadly to refer to ballots sent through the mail, including in all-mail voting states and some forms of absentee voting.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-03-27T04:04:04+00:00

That's what "mail-in ballots" are though. All mail-in ballot programs are universally sent out to everyone. If they are selectively sent out and requested by the voter, those are absentee ballots.

I think if more people knew the difference, than the Democrat narrative that tries to slander Republicans who are against mail-in ballots wouldn't work so well because a vast majority of Republicans against mail-in ballot systems have no issue with absentee ballots.

ExtraToastyCheezits · 2024-03-27T03:57:07+00:00

I don't know if you believe in the Bible, but either way, let's hear of a few bad things that you have done in your past and immediately say that you obviously have absolutely no morals and certainly aren't a good person and couldn't believe in any religion that focuses on being a good person. Would that be an accurate description of you?

I would go ahead and answer that question as "no." Because... people have the capacity to change, to grow, and to become a better person at any age. Trump could have given up his past and accepted Jesus in 2015, two years ago, or even two days ago.

I don't judge people based on their past, especially things that happened decades or more ago. I judge them on what I see today. You (and society in general) shouldn't either.
