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 …
@themightyant I am going to go the other way and say the game will be so large and amazing after all the time they put into it that the it will raise the bar even higher… at this point it is either a disaster or GOTY
Seems like we will get more of these types of games as developers rush to get them out for Switch 2. Just proves the porting from the Switch to Xbox S is an easy port. A wonderful side effect…
I buy a lot of games but with Gamepass they usually just end up as backlog… at some point I will cancel and focus on my purchases… but 2025 GP has me hooked
My reflexes will not allow me to progress too far I believe… early reports say it is one of the toughest souls likes ever … I will give it a shot but expect to run away screaming
I buy all my games on sale but because of Gamepass I never get to them … I think at some point I will discontinue GP just to work on my backlog as how will I ever chip away at it?
Going to try and play Turnip Boy and as well as Back to the Dawn and My Friendly Neighborhood. Don’t get me started with my AAA backlog … just going to enjoy these indies as every journey starts with a single step…
This definitely looks like must play for me … I really want to play Turnip Boy before it leaves at the end of the month though… will give a few hours on the weekend
There is a lot of good with Starfield… the general consensus is that the games needs a redemption arc like Cyberpunk 2077 … but Bethesda doesn’t do that kind of thing
Back to the dawn sounds intriguing as who doesn’t like crime with animals… I also bought Robocop so that gets downgraded … catch me some fallen feathers… ok I’m good!

All three have some interest… but Wuchang is the obvious winner of my playtime
