AlwaysPlaying

@Titntin yes, I am a double the time spent player as well… I can’t dedicate more than an hour or two and by the time I get back forgot something and have to loop back …

I ain’t going lie - I already have the drive space free and ready to go… time to not read anything now and enjoy…

I played an hour of 9 Sols and the button placement is a bit tricky and my old man reflexes cause me to die but enjoyed the experience. First game to come with a cruelty warning and deserving of that honour…

To get rid of Microsoft Jewel as it’s a weird 5 point daily reward …
Allow me the option of finding % off easier on the store…
Reduce download sizes
Give console owners some love instead of PC game pass releases first…
Follow through on your most advanced hardware promises

I can hear the movie soundtrack in my brain - so yeah I’m in the can’t wait group…

Bought the Brotato DLC and enjoying that very much as I have only level 4 and 5 left in the main game… downloaded Genshin Impact to see if I like it… if not then back the PGA 23

If you want a great review then wait until your game is ready before giving out to reviewers- easy peasy… I blame Microsoft as they should have a quality review team that green lights every game that goes onto Gamepass… I still have not played Redfall or Lamplighters league as the reviews were bad with day 1 bugs… every game that gets poorly reviewed gets a horrible death … sure Cyberpunk and No man’s Sky pulled themselves out of a death spiral but those games would be GOTY material in the year it released if bug free

Brotato not being mentioned is a huge omission… it’s a great indie action game!

I bought PGA 2K 2023 for $13 Canadian… really can’t lose at that price

Bought it instantly at that price - however wouldn’t be surprised if it subsequently ended up on Gamepass…. Now that I bought it…

Where’s the all of the above? I voted for Borderlands but Judas was a close 2nd…

I am sure there are some great games in there but nothing grabbing me yet… maybe my backlog is just too good… but I gave Riders the thumbs up

So close on Brotato at 91% so will keep working on that…. I need a certain achievement on cassette Beasts and then finish off the weekend with Powerwash Sim… have a great weekend of games… it a long weekend in Canada!

I am taking the lack of posts here that there has been a collective I don’t care about this game and it’s broken launch…

Still trying to forget that September was so empty of games that October feels even emptier… overall 2024 has been a great GP year - very happy with my sub…

Didn’t the developers say that Xbox wasn’t a priority and with PC sales like that …. Xbox is not a priority…. So unfortunately it may tell other developers to prioritize Xbox last which has been every Xbox owner worst fear that it is already happening… so I find no joy with this…..also there may have been a shady agreement but still…

@cardcrusher29 yes, ironclad… so much so that all three chapters will have to be on PS before any come to Xbox - if you can afford to lose $200 million on Concorde then what are a few millions elsewhere?

Obviously the Templars are fiddling with the timeline…

The last time I played was many years ago and I will probably be gobsmacked so will be day 1

I decided to give Cassette Beasts another try as I need a certain achievement… also started Power Wash simulator as a palette cleanser… have a great gaming weekend!

Ok I didn’t have on my bingo card that September for my console would be so boring for Gamepass….must be some shadow drops coming….

@Elbow As well the full Final Fantasy library is at 60% off … which I think is the lowest it goes for usually but a lot of game for that price….

I thought I saw somewhere in the internet that this was an AAA GOTY contender …. And turns out to be a kids game - too funny….

No way to spin it - September was a lean month so far but thinking a few surprises might come our way…

Well for 10 titles leaving my backlog was spared… none to quickly finish…. All good here!

Just to be clear: the overall, obvious and utterly crystal clear strategy is to make as much money as possible for the shareholders.
If you can sneak in an award or improve something that is an accidental byproduct of the process…

I bought the Starfield premium with reward points … will do the same with Indy… seems like a no brainer for me…

Brotato followed very distantly by Harold Halibut… but enjoyed quite a few GP titles but nothing grabbed me like those two…

Definitely worth the sale price … a cozy game just plain and simple… 8/10

Alert! The Crew 2 is 98% off - $1

Enjoying The Last Campfire. Have Brotato on my up next… If I have time to start a new game it might be Space Trucker… Glad everyone is enjoying Outlaws and Astrobot! Have a great gaming weekend!

Just bought the last campfire as I enjoy a cozy puzzle game and for the price an incredible steal… about 6 hours in and a solid 8

My favorite quote on live service games from Arkane Lyon:
"Don't throw us into gold fever gambits, don't use us as strawmen for miscalculations/blind spots, don't make our work environments darwinist jungles. You say we make you proud when we make a good game. Make us proud when times are tough. We know you can, we seen it before.”

This was on Jim Ryan’s watch …. Just saying

Ok now… that was a list of games I don’t play so nice

Off topic but Microsoft is heavy promoting Star Wars Outlaws on TV in Canada during the US Open tennis… nice to see!

Doing a bit of a bounce around Harold Halibut, Forza Horizons 4, Vampire Survivors and of course Brotato… have a fun gaming long weekend!

Even though some of those games are good … September feels like a weak month for me personally… hoping for a surprise as well

If there is a secret sauce for free to play shooters it is so elusive that you need a Laura Croft searching for it you or you will get impaled on a massive spear of corporate greed….

Marmite! A great love it or hate it… next we can discuss Coke and Pepsi…

Might pull the trigger on Guardians of the Galaxy at 80% instead if the usual 75%

A cozy ARPG for those who find Eldon Ring too difficult might do well…

@Savage_Joe I did some research and it appears to me that all versions have the memory leak but the the S having a smaller amount of RAM (10 vs 16 of the X or PS5)?that it crashes very quickly. PS5 users are reporting after long playing times that there are drops in frame rates but not the crashes. Maybe that the dev also put more resources into fixing the issue for the PS and left the S until later… so I can see what you are saying about Xbox in the bottom of the hierarchy….

@Savage_Joe This is all on the devs putting out a buggy mess… and I’m eating well from the so called crumbs… just no moldy ones and I will be happy…

This game could have been bad but all in all a solid game… apart from a few missteps UbiSoft has put out some good games lately… not sure they will ever be able to create a GOTY game in the future though as they are to formulaic

I picked up Gloomhaven as it was on a great sale… haven’t tried it yet but the reviews seemed positive and I like that type of game….

I have been bouncing around Quake, Brotato and Powerwasher Simulator… maybe at the moment I’m just playing games for a short period of time and later I can try to restart Assassins Creed 1

My rational as same as when I got the Starfield DLC:
Got game pass - check
Got reward points to buy it - check
Going to get the DLC anyways - check
Going to love the game- check
= spent no real money and the perk is the early access which I probably will not use but it is a better perk than any other perk

Much easier to test the Xbox and PS versions with the Pc version? Weirdly makes sense…
