Syndicate is one of my favorite games from the old-school Assassin’s Creeds! II, Black Flag and Syndicate were probably the ones I had the most fun in.
While Origins and Odyssey are great games, they are so big and overwhelming that I didn’t manage to finish the story. I hope I can finally finish one of those RPG ACs with Valhalla, though.
I agree, I really like Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. I personally think it’s an underrated title in the series. The setting is definitely my favorite in the whole series, and the assassination missions were my favorite part. Combat was kinda easy after getting used to it, but I still somewhat liked it, and the stealth was pretty good and fun I’d say.
All this Assassin’s Creed talk 
Maybe I should go back and finish Odyssey, Syndicate and Assassin’s Creed 3 remaster. I started and tried Fade to Silence and that is going into the no play pile, too janky and not interesting. Going to try Generation Zero next.
I’m thinking about next month’s featured game options. So far we only have two confirmed Smart Delivery games coming to Game Pass on day one: Haven and Morkredd.
Do you think the current rules are too strict? Should we extend the options to major games being released on December?
I rarely buy new games anymore, with the huge backlog and Game Pass. Mostly pick up stuff patched, complete and on sale nowadays hehe. With a few big releases from 3rd party being exceptions.
So, for me, the Game Pass-route is the best one.

Every GamerScore earned from now until Monday, November 23, 2020 1:59 AM will count towards Week 10’s Ranking. Whoever earns the most GamerScore during the week will gain 10 points, the second place will gain 9 points, and so on. Then the Ranking will reset again and a new week will begin.
Every GamerScore earned until Tuesday, December 1, 2020 1:59 AM will also count towards November’s Ranking. Whoever earns the most GamerScore during the month will gain 100 points, the second place will gain 90 points, and so on. Then the Ranking will reset again and a new month will begin.
Don’t forget that this topic is first and foremost destined to talk about all your achievements and trophies, discuss completions and even try to gather people for a boosting session! The Ranking is just a side activity to take part in.
Good luck everyone and happy hunting!
Top 3 for the first time!
Plus, I earned enough Gamerscore this week to take @TheSego’s place and to leave @Mort a bit behind. You were so close to reaching me, man. I’m glad you started Syndicate 
Grats! And I will catch you someday you…you…bah!
I’m in the lead, yay! 
Though I don’t think it’ll last long.
I finished grabbing every normal Dirt 5 achievement. Now I only need the miles one. I’m at exactly 5% (which will be 50% after the patch!).
I did 10%, which should be 100% once the patch drops. That’ll be 1000G for me, as well.
One step closer to the 300k I want to reach before the end of the year. Looking at my pace, I might reach it by the end of the month, even.
I’ve been holding RT while I re-watch Seinfeld lol Hope to complete the game this week aswell!
In a few minutes this week’s Microsoft sales go live. I know it’s highly unlikely to see some Series X|S games already, but feels nice to have this expectation. I think DMC5:SE could drop in price really fast!
Edit: @FairyEmpire I think the patch is about to go live:
Edit 2: Call of the Sea achievements! Maybe we will have one more option for our next month’s featured game poll!
I want to complete Sea of Thieves, but the grinding there is insane, there are some achievements that require a lot of time and only focusing on that, like I don’t know who thought it was a great idea to do the TALL TALES 5 TIMES
Sea of Thieves is one of those games I really wanted to get into but never could. I guess I really need those objective markers pointing me where to go.
I feel like the game doesn’t need them at all, but the game is an case where you MUST have a partner to sail and learn the ropes together
Yeah, I tried playing solo and I couldn’t read the map and sail at the same time 
I should really give the game another go some time!
Talking about stupid achievements, I’m replaying the Gears 5 campaign while going for the Inconceivable achievement. I still can’t believe they added a 200,000,000 damage achievement lol
Yes! Only needed to finish a Time Trial or something to get it to update. And that’s another 1000G for me 
#125 to be exact.
Completion #92: Dirt 5
Great arcade racer! You can definitely feel the influence of the Evolution Studios staff in this game with the dynamic weather and sense of speed. The game is really good looking, but there are some issues that sometimes take away its beauty. There is an odd lightning pop-in (the lamps only go bright when you approach them), and some shadows bugs at times.
Overall it is a really easy completion. You only have to complete every career event. You can play on Very Easy and even so you don’t even have to win them at all. You will have to grind for the 1,000 miles achievement, since after you’ve done everything in the game you will have raced only around 500 miles.
I do recommend XboxEra’s review of the game written by @FairyEmpire since it goes more in depth on how I felt about the game.
I haven’t got many achievements this week due to ACV being such a timesink, and most of the achievements seem to be end game stuff. Think I’ll finish the story then take a break from the game for a while, it’s feeling overwhelming right now lol
