After drift killed my last 2 Xbox controllers, I went with Gamesir and have been very happy. Some day there should be a class action lawsuit over the drift issue…
I just got Date Everything and it’s DLC as it sounded hilarious. Loving Dwarf Survivor … so fun! I have Gamepass until the 27 but got some 3 month passes at Costco for 24 per month
As someone else said this is the equivalent of the basic cable package of 500 channels that you only watch 5 of them and the rest is garbage. If you want movies or sports you pay extra. Nothing more or less….
I just cancelled… I have so many games in my backlog that I saved for a rainy day… to be honest I was playing way to much just to get perceived value out of the old price. Also, will come back after I have played every one to death. … in ten years
I am really enjoying this game! I didn’t know it was quite like this and I like! When a boss explodes into gems is really cool and addicting. My new favorite since I 100% Brotato and it’s DLC.
@Kaloudz yes I agree both Trials and Visions were on Gamepass…. But now can not see Visions so maybe it it got taken down and it is back up… seems strange to make it look like a new game
Nice… I have all the other Borderlands games and the Pandora’s box. Maybe the algorithm will give me a just for you price eventually… I can always dream
I have been mainly playing Balatro this week … it’s finally got its grip in me. Downloaded Dragon Age but had to uninstall Indy for it to fit. Three day weekend so will have a bit of time to game. Enjoy your weekend y’all…
Playing Rogue PoP … not sure I like the controls. I really dislike missing something and falling back down…. Oh and started Personal 4 golden. It’s like a graphic novel with cringy dialogue… hope it gets interesting soon…
I can’t even begin to say how that price equals into Canadian dollars yet… I am in wrong hobby … I need to get into race horses or yachts … much cheaper
I think the rumors for UbiSoft sending AC and PoP to Gamepass have come true. The other one for latest the Crew game, Star Wars and Avatar game will happen soon….
@Fiendish-Beaver I believe DA:V would have been on Gamepass regardless if it sold well or not. It is an EA game and all EA games come to Gamepass after about a year. I knew this so wasn’t tempted to buy it. If others did the same then could explain poor sales on the Xbox.
Been playing Vampires Survivors again with new content. I need to play a bit this weekend as I have been largely just romancing my AI girlfriend a bit too much.
Not my favorite show. I will just see what is posted here. Always wonder why Xbox doesn’t do more mini shows. Seems like they have ample resources to one a least every 3 months….
The reviews looked good to me… if you like this series it will not disappoint… reviewers are strange … if the game is linear then the knock is that it’s not open world… if it’s open world then they want a more focused linear gameplay…
@Fiendish-Beaver Microsoft has always kept billions on hand. So not only do they not carry any debt but those extra billions generate revenue which fuel their acquisitions… so they tend to just gobble up competition or patents … which is why the FTC is always one step away …

Re: Microsoft Set To Announce 'Free' Xbox Cloud Gaming Tier With Ads
Just another slippery step down the slope of monetizing everything in gaming. What’s next? Forcing to watch some ads before my console can turn on?
Re: Talking Point: So, Have You Tried Out Hogwarts Legacy On Xbox Game Pass Yet?

Playing Deep Rock Galactic Survivor mostly with Resident Evil 2 as my pallet cleanser… enjoy your weekend!

Re: After Silksong, These Are The Top 10 Highest-Rated Games Of 2025 So Far
I’m still backlogged on GOTY’s as far back when Roman numerals were invented…. No chance at a 2025 one… though a dabbled a bit on a few of them

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Has No Reviews Yet, So Here's What The Players Are Saying
@Vordus what a review… made me laugh so hard that I had to reply. That sums up every soulslike I have ever played! Like you I got lost instantly.

Yes, the getting the console running again from almost a factory reset was a shocker. But it’s working

Is there anyone who wants this in 2025?
Re: Indie Dev Frustrated Over Hollow Knight: Silksong Reveal, Delays New Game Because Of It
Seems more of a marketing ploy. Comments made to get attention for their own game. Much like my own posts for attention…:
Re: Two Huge Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (August 26-28)
Seems like a big week for Gamepass. I really can’t keep up to all the games arriving… just trying Sea of Stars before it leaves….
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 23-24)
Playing Rogue PoP … not sure I like the controls. I really dislike missing something and falling back down…. Oh and started Personal 4 golden. It’s like a graphic novel with cringy dialogue… hope it gets interesting soon…

Not my favorite show. I will just see what is posted here. Always wonder why Xbox doesn’t do more mini shows. Seems like they have ample resources to one a least every 3 months….

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Echoes Of The End
I still don’t know what to expect but it is a sad day when a 7/10 game can’t be recommended….
Re: Xbox Clamps Down On 'Bundle Spam', Says Developers Are Manipulating The Microsoft Store
This is an excellent clampdown! Having to scroll through 1800+ items is a waste of my time
