Has anyone had CEC issues with their Xbox? I am not sure what's to blame here. For the most part, when I turn off the Xbox, the TV turns off. But sometimes the TV doesn't turn off, so I have to turn the Xbox back on then off again, then the TV switches off.

That must be your TV or Cable? Maybe it needs an update?

Have a Samsung TU7000 58" and never had any problems with either turning it off/on or switching to a newly powered on device. (Have Pi/PS3 and Xbox that all work as expected)

Yeah I'm not sure. There was a recent update but it didn't help. I have a MU7351. Maybe I will give it a reset sometime and see if that helps.
 
Decided to go "f it" and picked up Assassins Creed Origin & Odyssey on above mentioned sale (R500 for both).... Haven't played any since No 2.

From what I saw they rate Origin lower than Odyssey so decided to play the Origin 1st. and My word!, what a beautiful game. Cant believe I skipped them. Only 1 hour in and can already say Worth it! Plays smooth as butter on Series S so would put it in my "Must have" pile.

Just take a break between the two games, play a few other games before you start with Odyssey.

I enjoyed both but Origins is my favourite.

That is/was the plan. Wanna finish Origin and then mix in some other games I picked up, before I go Odyssey. I just bought em while on sale did the same with Tomb raider and Batman Games. 5 years of MMO's left me with some serious catalog of games to play ;)

I checked which was the best and they rated Origin as no 3 then Valhalla and then Odyssey as no 1. Will maybe get to Valhalla by December or later :D Last played 1 and 2 back when I owned a 360.

Pulled No Man's Sky from Gamepass. I know I'm 4 years behind the curve, but this is a pretty game with a fascinating and very chequered history. You can get a sense of it from a channel I highly recommend:

Your link resolves to just "youtube", but otherwise that was a great vid. Unfortunately I was on the hype train and preordered. I really only experienced the game as it was at launch. I am now too burnt out for that game.

I'm glad to say that it does!

Already completed the first two prologue missions and then two normal missions. So 4 out of the 14 so far.

When I first heard about this free play days thing I thought it was lame. As soon as I saw your message I started the download. Happy to say I'm also jamming :D
 
On xbox is there a way to see how many hours you played a game?

Would be fun to see how many hours ive been jamming in AC Origin...Love this game.

I have seen stats displayed in the process tab of the "official club" for games. But it's touch and go. I guess it only works for series console enhanced games, sometimes.

I don't see it working for doom and squadrons, but it's there for Forza horizon 4.
 
There is an issue with squadrons and resuming. Earlier when I trained, it was a slide show. Later in the evening after doing other stuff, I resumed again and everything was WAY too fast. I was zipping around in space. It's not playable either way so I had to kill and restart the game.

Forgive me, but why are you paying for games when you have been espousing the awesomeness of game pass for months now?
