I played a decent amount of the first one but didn't finish it, but since they re added it to Gamepass Ill probably finish it eventually, maybe, probably. To me it just seems like the 1st one just came out not to long ago.
That's a complete lame comment stating they became uncool, sounds like they became uncool to them. Genres are subjective to the ones playing them, the players if he thought they were uncool then say that, don't assume all or most gamers felt that way...lol
Used to be a huge Gears fan, fell off the past 2 titles...Looking foward to Helldivers, Theres about 4 of us that will be playing it. Haven't gamed since we used to play SoT.
I liked this game and will definitely buy the dlc for it. This is the kind of content that needs to be released for people to buy if there game is on Gamepass. The dev from Raccoon Logic said he didn't get the extra sales for his dlc in his game. That dlc was nothing and not worth the price. Put out something that adds something to play and many with Gamepass will probably buy (dlc) it if they liked the game and game is still on Gamepass.
This is the 3rd time Epic has given Deathloop away for free. I got it the first time they gave it away for free. Its a solid game so having it available again is always good for everyone who didn't claim it the first 2 times. Also it's EPIC doing the giveaway.
I'm going to go with the 1st one. Just seemed like something special to me and I remember picking it up on day one at Gamestop. The good old days of physical media. Seems like it was a completely different era and time.
I have many games that have been added and a few more are coming out this month to my backlog. This game is 1 of them but is lower on my list but it is there. I should try it sooner rather than later bc its filling it fast and I don't have the time to play as I wish I had.
I've always been a Gamepass and Ultimate member. There is a TON of stuff that's been released and a lot of upcoming games as well. Just from Gamepass my backlog has grew significantly and will over the next few months.
For me South of Midnight is an okay game. Its not great and it's not bad. I am about halfway through it and it seems like the more I play it the bored I am becoming with it.
It's ridiculous that have actually released as few as they have so far. There are so many games if they released a couple every month I would be ok with that but NO.
@Kaloudz This has happened to me once I bought a game on sale and within a week it hits gamepass....lol...I've also had games that i almost bought but didn't and they ended up on gamepass soon after, that's always a pleasant suprise.
I have Gamepass and will definitely check it out. I liked Avowed very much so if this can be as much fun that would be cool. I guess I'll find out when it releases.
I have played about 5 hours of it and am enjoying it very much. This game is more fun and enjoyable for me then the last big 1st party title that was released.
They don't do a good job at letting players know that they even have free play weekends. You would think that one of the ad boxes they have would be dedicated to this kind of stuff or create a box for things like this or specials.
It's not going to run at 60 fps on any console this generation. They will add that update to the 10 year anniversary edition available for purchase in 2035/2036.
Gamepass is great, I've been subscribed since it came out. For me it's been worth it for sure. I have got to play and experience some great games because of it.
Death Stranding was on PC Gamepass it debuted in 2022, its not in PC gamepass anymore but has been available to buy on Xboxs PC gamepass and store since 2022.
That picture is night and day difference. The one looks so much better then the other. Wow, I am completely Wowed by the screenshot comparison. Just complete fidelity at its finest...Superb... not really
My favorite was the 1st one, i remember pre-ordering it and got a blue shirt that said 'Chop till you Drop'. I also did like the last one they made as well.
@antonioacm I got them both as well, and Xbox Gamepass Ultimate is lightyears ahead of PS when it comes to gaming subscriptions. It's really not even a competition, just plain facts.
I've been using the reward system for a while now, I have not had to pay for Gamepass Ultimate in almost 2 years. It's part of my daily routine while drinking my coffee. However it's been nerfed at times for me, not allowing to collect all the points in a row. There's a cool down sometimes and sometimes there's not, who knows but I'm still collecting as many points as I can.
@redd214 It was the exact same way for me then a few weeks ago, they nerfed all my internet searches. I can no longer claim points doing consecutive internet searches anymore. It is the same across all Bing for me. I can do 3 searches then it won't give anymore points at all. I remember hearing how they nerfed searches many months ago but it didn't effect me untill a few weeks ago.
A few months ago it was possible to get up to 700 points regularly in a single day, thats using all means (Bing, Web search ect..Through all of that I had a daily regiment that took roughly 10/15 mins) 2 weeks ago it was about 400 points. As of now it's so nerfed, barely making 80 regular points in a day. Its a joke. They made it all almost worthless. They made it where you can not do consecutive searches anymore to complete your daily searches.
I went and looked and Immortals of Aveum is NOT $8. The only special for me was $8 off the $70 full price...A savings of $8, still have to pay $62 not $8.... I guess my JUST FOR YOU just doesn't give me the same deals. Who knows but yeah big difference.
They keep touting Hellblade 2 as a huge release, that game was definitely not something I liked and many others I know feel the same way. Its followingvis more niche than anything.
I already bought and am playing it on Steam. Its a good game, i love it and its ashame it wasnt on there to begin with. For anyone who hasn't played it, you will be pleasantly suprised how fun it is...i bought it played about 20 minutes of it, and didn't think much of it. Tried it out again a couple months later played about an hour of it and it just clicked with me, very glad i went back to it. I have 50 hours in and still going. I think its a great game and if you like it youll love it.
@eire-shabba I tried it and did not care for it either, just not something for me at all. There is ALOT of talk about it being good and the 2nd one seems to be really talked up for some reason. I guess some like it but I definitely did not nor care for a 2nd one. To each their own.
Yes, my recent favorite was Valhalla. I started it and couldn't get into it. Tried again a few months later and ended up completing the main game and dlc.
