Two Big Additions Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (March 21)

Evil west was my radar and wishlist for a while, so will give it a try at some point.

Tried Evil West when it was free with PS Plus and i got stuck on one of the boss battles and never went back what i played was pretty fun though.

@Rangers420 noooo. it has boss battles? i just wanted a good old shooter.

Oh, yeah, I'm really going to pay attention to review scores all of the sudden. Where pure mediocrity is endlessly praised as masterful brilliance, because apparently everyone forgot what a clone is. No, I think I'm going to give the genuinely interesting looking game a try, thanks.

@rustyduck what old shooter doesn't have boss battles again? Postal 2?

I'd like to try final fantasy but knowing it has subscription turns me off completely. Not want even use free trial just to get hooked and end up shelling out money every month.

The reason I love, play, and buy all the DLC for Elder Scrolls Online, is no subscription needed. Plus it's a fun game.

@GuyinPA75 ESO is an infinitely better game in literally every way. The only people who really enjoy FFXIV are those who have never tried another MMO in their lives, and let the merely halfway decent worldbuilding blind them to the blatant repetition that really is on the same level as a Korean FTP MMO.

Played evil west on the other service... Its worth a look, but it didnt excite me and i dropped it after level 2.
I gave ff14 a go recently too. I dont really understand why I didnt have to pay on PS, but would on Xbox? I hope everyone enjoys it, but after several hours getting stuck in what is the most cumbersome and obtuse UI I've ever used, I gave up! If anyone has links to a resource that might help me better use the UI, Id be really grateful, as Id still want to play....

Both of these are good additions for GP, Im just drowning in unfinished games elsewhere atm or Id resub in an instant!

@rustyduck Isn't that a staple of a good, old shooter?

@SidNightwalker or I dunno maybe they just enjoy different things in MMOs than you do and don't mind paying for it.

Enjoy what you enjoy and be polite enough to give other folks the same courtesy without passively aggressively ***** on their choice just because they pick something different to you.

@Titntin the UI can be set up pretty much as you like in terms of what's shown, sizes and placement of any element. I do agree its a bit obtuse when digging into the options. The simplest suggestion would be to hit up YouTube.

Though I can't recommend any specific vids at this point as it's been some years since I played but this is how I sorted out my own UI problems back in the day. It took me a while to tweak everything but it was well worth the effort.

One of the benefits of an mmo that has been out a while is that it has a ton of resources that will explain pretty much anything. I imagine there are plenty of vids popping up aimed at new Xbox players too.

Hopefully you find something that helps you sort things to your preferences and you find the fun that this mmo offers.

(I will be jumping back into FFXIV at some point in the coming weeks. So I expect I will be doing the YouTube thing as well just to refresh my memory.)

@BBB or maybe what I said is a factual statement, y'know, about the shocking repetitive nature of the game, and you cannot refute that?

Yeah I'm sorry but if that game wasn't called "Final Fantasy" something or other, it wouldn't have lasted long. It's success is undeserved, to put it mildly. I don't even want to go into the ridiculousness of it's cash shop, but it's egregiously ridiculous, so I might as well mention that. Egregious for a game that requires a subscription, most certainly, which again, considering it's shockingly grindy Korean FTP style of gameplay, it really shouldn't have, and again, it only solely gets away with because of it's friggin name alone. 😉

@BBB Thanks mate, very helpful. Ill definitely give it a go again once Ive finally finished Rebirth.
There's always someone on the net who believes the ultimate truth belongs to them and anyone with differing tastes is stupid, its the price we all pay for connecting as we do 😁
