The stream is fine most of the time for some of the simpler games, but started to lag by the fifth bridge in River Raid. I live near Seattle and can stream 4k movies without a problem on my setup, but a few of these slowed to a crawl.
And the whole concept of needing to use gems to retry challenges makes it feel like a mobile game scam. Not something that should be part of a $20/month service.
I only game 30-60 minutes a day. I'm still on Act 2 of Expedition 33 and have yet to boot up Indiana Jones, Metal Slug Tactics, South of Midnight, or Doom Dark Ages.
I need to retire (or give up other hobbies... Nah!) just to catch up.
There's a Monster Train 2?!?! I just pried myself away from the original after about 50+ hours with it when Expedition 33 released. Can't wait. Such a great deck builder Roguelite.
I kid, I kid. I have three of these Hallmark ornaments (NES, SNES, and Genesis) and absolutely love them. Will be adding this for sure, just wish it played the Gears theme instead.
I grabbed Dicey Dungeons because it was on my wishlist, but I've got such a huge XBGP backlog, not to mention finally picking up Super Mario Wonder for Switch, there really wasn't a need to but much.
Were we supposed to have expected that the system with the larger install base and that doesn't have Game Pass, would have had anything else? Of course it's having higher sales on PlayStation. Why wouldn't it?
Monster Train. I know it's not new, but I finally gave it s try when it hit Game Pass last month, and I can't stop. I'm loving it so much. And that it plays perfectly on my Backbone over cloud makes it all the better.
I count the PGR series among my all time favorite game franchises, and enjoyed FH4 quite a bit (80+ hours), but FH5's annoying personality and bloat, combined with its overwhelmingly confusing structure and menu system made me quit it after just a couple hours. Haven't played it since launch week.
Would happily play hours of Rock n Roll Racing with a broken controller before ever installing a game with "survival" or "crafting" in its description. Hope Atomfall is great for all of you who are looking forward to playing it, but I'll be rocking out with my truck out.

I have one pre-ordered, but I'm mostly getting it for retro stuff.

Re: Nintendo's Doug Bowser Just Channelled One Of The Most Infamous Xbox Quotes Ever
At least he didn't say the Switch 2 is an "aspirational" product.
Re: Switch 2 Feature Reminds People Of The Disastrous Xbox One Launch
Will be fun to pay $10 more for the "physical" version only to have it be a key.
Re: Lots Of Activision Blizzard Games Aren't On Xbox Game Pass Yet, But Why?
I'd love to see Hearthstone added to Gamepass.

Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Would You Love To See Relisted This Year?
Would love to see Project Gotham Racing 2 or 3 return.
But even more so, I'm dying to play Culdcept Saga again. Selling my PS2 and X360 copies of the Culdcept games is probably my biggest gaming regret.
