While this is undoubtedly worth whatever the price of admission will be (I’m thinking 40? Is it confirmed?) I usually wait a while and grab the collections when they hit about half price. I have more nostalgia for the toys than the games I think. Still nostalgic for both though.
I own Numenera… got about an hour and a half into it before realizing that while I enjoy dialogue in games I’m not very much into dialogue driven ones.
I’m sure it’s right up someone else’s alley though. Torment looked like a blast too Ngl but I don’t have enough patience.
I dunno….20 bucks for what took this guy hundreds of hours (probably thousands, I’m woefully ignorant of the dev cycle) is far from greedy. This guy made this thing knowing it wasn’t gonna blow up like CoD or whatnot. Gonna support this studio. I’ve paid far more for far less gaming wise in the past.
Even though I just recently purchased Far Cry 6 I’m still excited for this… I grew up with very little pocket money, so for me, the idea of people and kids in a similar situation getting to play fairly current games while not breaking the bank is close to the heart. This whole game pass setup would’ve blown my mind as a youngster. It still does, honestly.
The only time a wired controller feels right to me is if it’s with a Nintendo console. I think it’s just hard wired into my brain from childhood, since I never experienced wireless until much later in life. 🤷♂️
I missed a day last week so I’m making it up at work today. Probably some more Little Hope when I get home. Maybe some Power Wash Sim …..gonna play it loose
@K1LLEGAL I’ve only played Man of Medan thus far but it instantly sold me on Dark Pictures. The couch co-op is gonna pull my wife in for play sessions, she loves scary stuff. As son as I saw the other two on sale I copped them swift.

Re: Calico Gets Review Bombed On Xbox, Dev Calls For 'Better Moderation'
If you don’t want to deal with negative/b.s. reviews, don’t release your product for public consumption.
Re: Deals: 400+ Games In This Week's Stacked Xbox Sales (August 2-9)
Also, we should game-ify how bad the sales are, somehow. Like get a running tally on “worst deal of the sale” or something
Re: Deals: 400+ Games In This Week's Stacked Xbox Sales (August 2-9)
How do the Timesplitters games qualify for the cheevo Hunter sale
Re: PlayStation Seems Worried About Xbox Owning Call Of Duty
All I have to say to this is LMFAO.
If Sony were the one buying CoD it’d be all good.
Sack up and take the hit that’s coming.
Re: Pure Xbox Game Club August 2022: Marvel's Avengers
Still kinda awestruck this lost to Yoku’s Island Express, which is objectively the better game of the two
Re: Review: PowerWash Simulator - A Great Way To Chill Out With Xbox Game Pass
@Cherip-the-Ripper I had to skin that smokewagon, to see what would happen 😃
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 30-31)
Multiversus, Destiny 2….that’s probably it for this weekend
Re: Xbox Game Pass Feels Like Browsing At Blockbuster, Says Xbox Exec
Light news day eh
Re: Rumour: Immortals Fenyx Rising Might Be Coming To Xbox Game Pass
I think I might have played 10 hours or so of this before getting sidetracked. Would love to go back as part of the monthly Game Club
Re: Xbox Summer Promo Is Offering Up Bonus Microsoft Reward Points
I might hit the 50 if my son wants Rimworld. But he hasn’t mentioned it.
Re: Xbox Summer Promo Is Offering Up Bonus Microsoft Reward Points
Looks like I bought Severed Steel about a week too early. That’s how it goes though right
Re: Single-Player Black Panther Game In The Works At EA, Says Report
@trev666 seconded. We need a third to carry
Re: Skull & Bones Developer Claims The Game Lacks Depth In Every Area
Lmao the game with ocean combat lacks “depth”
Clever. I wish you guys would’ve leaned into the subbheading and kept the nautical thing going
Re: Talking Point: What August 2022 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
The original Bright Memory game and and the recent Samurai Shodown game that never ever ever goes on sale
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 23-24)
Little Hope….Severed Steel….Hot Wheels Unleashed
Re: Dragon Ball: The Breakers Adopts The 'Dead By Daylight' Formula, Heading To Xbox In 2022
@dsar9012 that was my exact reaction too. This is not what I expected for a Dragon Ball game
Re: Xbox Is Currently Giving Out Free Gift Cards In Certain Regions
Good stuff, glad to see love being shown everywhere. Really hope those that haven’t gotten action on this finally get a taste this go-round.
Re: This Next-Gen Soulslike RPG Launches August 2022 On Xbox Series X|S
@Relygon how is Remnant now? I played when it first released and got frustrated by bugs
Re: Bright Memory: Infinite Looks 'Mindboggling' On Xbox Series S
@Gamer83 the sword kills I’ve been seeing in vids look really satisfying. Gonna cop it this upcoming by week.

Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 21)
@Nightcrawler71 I gave Disco a whirl. It’s not bad, just not my cuppa. I might not be Bohemian enough to fully appreciate it jk
I couldn’t get over not knowing what the choices were gonna do. Maybe I’ll revisit one day.
Definitely would be good for GP. Wish I could gift you my already purchased digital copy. I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Re: Far Cry 6 Xbox Game Pass Ad Was A Mistake, Confirms Ubisoft
@Bleachedsmiles At least you recognize it. Be blessed.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (July 21)
@Bartig iirc it’s single player only
Re: It Might Be A Mistake, But Far Cry 6 Is Being Advertised For Xbox Game Pass
That guy up there is dead wrong. My 15 for the month was squarely aimed at Powerwash Sim, even if I’ve been too tired to play it much
I didn’t pay indies much mind myself until I played The Gardens Between….Firewatch……Lake
Those are all good

Gonna support this studio. I’ve paid far more for far less gaming wise in the past.
Re: Review: Bright Memory: Infinite - Tight Gunplay In A Gorgeous World, But Lacks Depth
The older I get the shorter time it takes to complete a game is actually kind of a selling point for me. I’ll give it a whirl
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Are Saying About Forza Horizon 5: Hot Wheels
With the collectors edition of Hot Wheels on sale rn this is actually steering me toward that game
Pun not really intended but I’ll take it

Re: Deals: Xbox Summer Sale 2022 Now Live, 500+ Games Discounted
@K1LLEGAL I’ve only played Man of Medan thus far but it instantly sold me on Dark Pictures. The couch co-op is gonna pull my wife in for play sessions, she loves scary stuff. As son as I saw the other two on sale I copped them swift.
Re: Reporter Claims Next Assassin's Creed Will Be Set In Baghdad, Not The Aztecs
Pre-conquest Mexico would’ve been dope.
Re: Deals: Xbox Summer Sale 2022 Now Live, 500+ Games Discounted

Re: My Friend Peppa Pig Is A Really Easy 1000G On Xbox Game Pass

Re: Random: Someone Made A Functioning Halo Rocket Launcher In Real Life
That’s guy is definitely on a watchlist somewhere.
Also, super cool!
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge Gets One-Of-A-Kind Xbox Series S Console
Super dope! Now I have to reconcile myself to the stark reality that I’ll never own it
Re: 'Hellpoint' Has Been Delayed For Xbox Series X|S Due To 'Technical Specificities'
That was quick. Wasn’t the x/s upgrade announced mere days ago?
I mean, kudos to the dev for knowing it’s limitations…I’m just a bit surprised. Honestly thought the upgrade was announced like, yesterday?
