I played the heck out of Doom 1 & 2 as well as Quake … hoping for more of the same type of old school sensibility instead of the later modern running around stuff…
@Tasuki I don’t believe there are tariffs on digital services … yet. Part of the US issue is With countries that are collecting a digital services tax on US companies… which is a tariff
@HonestHick All 15B was paid by the US consumer… tariffs are taxes… worst part is that the US has alienated their friends so just the loss of tourism to the US offsets any theoretical gains.
It used to be that Xbox has no games and now Xbox has too many games on Gamepass and too many of their exclusives on PS…. Just grumble away friends… grumble away… For me I came for Starfield and stayed as Gamepass was just too amazing not to have…
In my mind this doesn’t exist until it exists… got too much backlog to get much hyped about it.. Feels like 2026 at the earliest and late 2026. Where is Perfect Dark btw?
A little bit of everything in these 8 games… not so much a fan of the later Dooms but I am sure I will find fun to play. Revenge of the Savage Planet is at the top of my list…
I told y’all that this was going to be sneaky good… or at least hoped it would be…. now just panicking at the May 15th games leaving before this all sinks in….
Yikes, actually some games in there that are sneaky good but didn’t get to play… I enjoyed the big con and little kitty big city … I may have to reevaluate this weekend in what I play…
Most days I just try and get the achievement for logging onto GamePass and stay for an hour or two… it is really a hard choice what to focus on as I like most games but need to 100% then as well. My backlog is intense as long as I have GP games the backlog stays dormant….
@CoolDadTx one of the consequences of Netflix was less movies but more episodic series. At some point we will see the demise of AAA games and more smaller games instead … we already are seeing remakes and remasters instead of new IP’s….
To call this sale a “Golden Week” is being disrespectful to gold… maybe I will find a gem in there as I scroll through the infinite amount of sale pages…
Towerborne sounded interesting until I heard it was multiplayer and in game preview so no achievements so I will pass…. Far Cry 4 I will play but after a few other games that came in April … so in reality unlikely as the May games will then pique my interest
Show a little love to the non Doom games on the list … any other month and we would be oohing and ahhing over them… I will go out on a limb and say Revenge of the Savage Planet will be sneaky good…
Still in the Oblivion tutorial… running around in circles with Blue Prince… enjoying Tempopo for its puzzles … so spoiled for choice but should be a great gaming weekend- enjoy y’all!
Get PS gamers addicted and then cut them off and tell them only on Xbox… standard drug dealer strategy… seriously though… let everyone play no matter your console.
Gamepass is off to a great start to 2025 and that was just the first quarter…. By the time we get to the June showcase we are all going to be exhausted
@themightyant I agree with everything you said … as much as it hurts to say it please delay the shadow drop til next weekend so not to detract. The release calendar must be packed as they try to release everything before Sept…
I have been dipping in and out of games this week … loving South of Midnight, Blue Prince and Tempopo. Did not really like Crime Scene cleaner for some reason … have a fun weekend y’all
What a month! Some surprises in there with Dredge but why doesn’t Ubisoft just join Gamepass? This slow burn of their games just undermines value of their own service…
I never really gave any of these games any attention… might try Have a nice Death and the rewinder again but not sure if they are worthy of a second try…
Down to one achievement to go for HH but don’t know if I will make it… I can only score this game a 7 mostly based on its great visual style but its second half is a slow crawl of getting to the next cut scene….
It’s Harold Halibut as I have just 5 achievements to go… also a little bit of Blue Prince on the side… BP is definitely the evolution of the Escape Room type of game… enjoying the cozy pace as I am only timed so far by my next move….
