First I was talking about Perosna 5 not about FF7R
Second it would hardly be pathetic to release it after timed exclusivity, there's nothing to say it would be full price and if people actually want the game they will buy it so it being on Gamepass isn't the only way that makes sense
Third Microsoft also get timed exclusivity for games it's just on games that aren't as highly anticipated like Stalker 2 or The Medium & indie darlings like - the excellent - Tunic. Microsoft have also just locked off Bethesda which I'm sure you were happy about since it hurt Playstation.
I know a few people who have stopped buying games & are happy to wait until it's on Gamepass, one of my friends won't buy anything multiplatform in the first 18 months just in case it pops up on there. But he buys all the Playstation/Nintendo stuff day one.
I'm still pretty excited about this but that gameplay did very little for me, possibly because it was focused on characters that I don't really like and won't be playing as.
I was so happy when I saw it had popped up on the store, still find it a little weird playing on the TV - I played the first game on Vita - but I'm having a blast mad how much I love the archer class.
@GunValkyrian you mean like the way Sony have bought Bungie and haven't even added them to the roster of Playstation Studios unlike Microsoft who bought Bethesda and locked everything away?
Is the Easter egg bonus quest thing actually working yet? I started Fable 3 (it was on the list anyway) & I've popped a few achievements but it's not registering
@Sol4ris why is it only moneyhatting when it's Sony do it? Does it not count if Microsoft get a timed excluisve game, advertising rights or pay for a multiplatform game to go straight to Gamepass? Maybe if people weren't waiting for it to go to Gamepass Sony wouldn't be able to get those kinda deals.
@BartoxTharglod they said a while back it had under performed but they probably looked at how well Spiderman did on PS4 and thought they couldn't fail. I played GOTG on PS4 last year and I loved it I highly recommend it
@RedShirtRod that's assuming that everyone pays for Gamepass, when I got my Series S I got 3 months free with the console and I've redeemed another 3 months through MS Rewards, I've not paid a penny for it in the 6 months I've been back on Xbox.
Richly deserved, really can't wait to see what's next from DF of the studios MS have picked up over the last few years there the ones that excite me most.
@Cherip-the-Ripper I misread it 😂 crap that it's not just a universal thing I guess it's a wider Microsoft issue rather than an Xbox one hopefully they get it up and running
@Cherip-the-Ripper I've got 34000 in less than 3 months & I've not spent a penny to get any points or done any of the big punch cards. You can get 69000 a year just doing the daily bing seaches.
MSR are the best thing about Xbox right now for me, I got my Series S with my phone upgrade with 3 months of GP thanks to MSR Im 1000 points from another 3 months for free.
I don't get why this is even news, yes they work at rival company's but I imagine they all get on great when they do see each other, there not like the people on social media who nail there flags to the mast of a particular plastic box and will die for it.
My February will be filled by Horizon Forbidden West. Of the 3 on there the one I'd be up for is Elden Ring but when after watching gameplay I can't decide if it's more Souls or Sekiro/Bloodborne, hopefully it's more the latter.
@UltimateOtaku91 I wouldn't have played it without Gamepass, same goes for Forza don't really play racing games, but I had a blast playing Halo Infinite it's not revolutionary but the gameplay loop was fun.

@Spiders Sekiro was definitely easier than Bloodborne, I'm hoping it's more along the lines of those 2 I've never clicked with the Souls style.
