@Ricky-Spanish 😂😂 "a serious fungal infection downstairs"...made me almost spit out my coffee

@NintendoByNature Everwild news lol I see where you were going

I'll be checking out Wuchang for sure

@Ricky-Spanish how are you liking the gears beta? Im a huge gears fan and play a ton of multiplayer and I gotta say....it is utter s**t lol. Hit detection is awful, boomshot better be a direct hit or it does like no damage. I know "this is gears" but after thousands of hours into gears 3, 4, 5...this is not the gears I have come to know. The inconsistent gnasher has put me off and I'll probably skip this one. I hope gears e-day returns to more recent gears in terms of fluidity and consistency in weapons!

"We continue" expedition 33 and a bit of gears beta.

@dskatter one is a first party title (not expected to be on other platforms, until recently for MS) the other third party with no reason not to be everywhere day 1

But i do see your point and honestly the real reason is likely because xbox players dont really play FF all that much. If I was square I probably wouldn't release it on xbox either haha

Hey you don't prioritize xbox on launch dates, we dont prioritize your bank account

Playing expedition 33. Great game and will make good progress this weekend. Also played some matches of gears beta yesterday and will play more today. I was rusty (it's been a few years) but it all started coming back after around the third match

I beat about a game a month on gamepass (I'm slow). Gamepass costs me $20 a month. So in 3 months I spend $60.00 to beat three games that are potentially worth a combined $180 -$200. Even with a small price increase I'm saving a ton of money

Just started but love the parry and dodge increase lol. I just perfect dodged 3 times in a row after a couple drinks and thought I was superman...apparently it was a patch

Keeper looks really good. Probably my favorite of the 3, followed by ninja gaiden. I honestly dont get the hype of outer worlds. It was fun but pretty average in my opinion. I'll definitely check it out though.

No Fable, no perfect dark, no forza, no ever wild, no state of decay 3, no Ninja theory, no O.D. Pretty poor performance in my opinion but keeper and clockwork look cool.

@FarmDog08 yeah I'm loving it so far. Only in Act 1 but I'm going to savor every moment. I can tell this when will have its claws in me for a bit

Started clair obscur yesterday. Pretty early on but loving it so far

Although I'm very tempted to buy Overture. Lies of P is probably the best game ive played in years (to me of course)

I finished South Of Midnight. I wanted to stop around ch. 7 but my ocd made me see it to the end. Once ive invested time like that in a game it's hard to convince myself to not just power through.

So I'll either be starting Doom or Expedition 33, looking forward to both

What didnt make sense to me is to partner with ASUS ROG ally for an xbox handheld then make one of your own a year and a half later. Are you trying to compete with yourself?

Humanity is a fun little puzzler if anyone is into that type of game.

Well, I hate myself. On Chapter 11 of south of midnight and I now feel I have to finish it. I know if I play something else I'll never go back.

The game was okay, but quickly dropped off for me. Very repetitive, very bad combat, very cool story.

I have games like Doom, Clair Obscure, and Oblivios remastered downloaded but here we are....south of midnight it is.

@bensondog every company's goal is to make a profit every year...not break even. You are in the minority with that logic (seen by the record profit numbers) so I'm sure they are okay bensondog from pure xbox is boycotting them

Couple locations near me in LA i could go to

@GoldenPants thanks! That's what i am torn on, I really find the combat a chore, and even getting tired of the repetitive platforming. But I know if I dont finish it now I'll never go back (which I'm okay with) but I just have to commit to one or the other. I really want to check out Doom and expedition 33 and since my gaming time is limited, looks like I'll be shelving SoM.

@gollumb82 I'm on chapter 7 in south of midnight and thinking of shelving it for a while as well. Too many other games I'm interested in that seem more up my ally

@Ricky-Spanish agreed. Gears 3 multi-player was the best! I spent a lot of time with that one, the maps were great too.

Still trying to finish South of Midnight. I'm on Chapter 7... I'm so slow at completing games now it's crazy. I might not finish it though, while it's a cool game, it's getting a little stale. Just waiting for Doom at this point

@fatpunkslim I lost brain cells reading this. You do you, keep up the good fight

@fatpunkslim ? Doom and oblivion remake both launch day 1. I can guarantee having exclusives (even timed) will be super rare for MS going forward. Most games will be day 1. Outer Worlds 2 is another.

Dredge looks really cool. Never heard of it but just watched the trailer. Definitely be on Doom though as well

@Ricky-Spanish i just beat Doom 2016 about a month ago for the first time and it holds up really well. I also had a hard time getting into them when they first came out but this last attempt I thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably won't play Eternal but 2016 was worth it to me. Not very long of a game either (about 11 hours probably start to finish)

Game looks cool. Reminds me Rainbow Six when they made campaigns and terrorist hunt

Nice. I actually have been meaning to play this, glad I haven't yet cause these look like great QoL features

Halo wars 3. I feel like they nailed the rts on console with that series

Is this the sale that puts 5 year old games back at $60 to act like your getting 80% off when they list the sale price?

@Millionski i think it'll have decent support for about 2 - 3 years. Then ps6 and next xbox will come out and devs aren't going to want to support those specs. This is exactly what happened with switch 1, despite 100+ million sales. Specs matter in the end. Even the series s almost missed out on some games because of its specs. Also the value of gamepass versus spending 80 dollars on first party games will go a long way in people deciding what to do.

The series S did come out 5 years ago, while this is just now coming out for Nintendo. I'd hope it could compete with the weakest console on the market

Gears of war would be awesome as an action/horror movie (or show).

I should probably play through lords of fallen before it goes. I beat the one from 2014 and thought it was pretty good.

I'm still on 33 Immortals. Not because I'm necessarily enjoying it anymore, more of i really can only play 1 game at a time and don't want to start anything that I won't be able to finish before South of Midnight drops (I didn't pay for early access). So I'm just mindlessly running the dungeons to kill the time

@Fiendish-Beaver yep. The last two months will see 17 games leave the service, with maybe half of that coming on new (at least to ultimate members).I think they are just going to lean heavily into this being primarily a first party subscription. I do look forward to the upcoming games though like clair 33 and of course silksong!

@Medic_alert tThat's how I felt. Very clunky for me. Coming off of Doom and a few others, I could not get used to how clunky and awkward controlling the character felt. Stopped after about 20 minutes.

Since it's release on GP I've been playing 33 Immortals. Really fun game...but, with only 2 maps released so far and after you play each one 20 or so times, it gets a little boring. Unfortunately I think lack of content will cause this game to be shortlived, the third map isn't expected until end of 2025. The game itself is really fun and well made.

I will probably switch to stalker 2 this weekend as I never started it and after several patches think it's in a much better place

I've been all digital for about 9 years (since start of xbox one), i understand i guess why people want physical as a collectors item, but never understood the argument "cause now I permanently own the game". I feel like most games require an online connection and can still be shut down or bricked whether you have physical or digital, even single player.

If they did this... MS would retaliate by releasing Halo on PS5 with exclusive maps.

I was actually surprised that Veilgard went to PS users before Xbox since Xbox GPU has that deal with EA. I love Dragon Age so I'd welcome it on GP.

@Ricky-Spanish how's the scene on gears 5 multiplayer? Still easy to find games? I've thought about hopping back in for a bit now but just haven't done it yet

Atomfall and The First Berzerker for me. The amount of games coming out over the next 2 months is kind of ridiculous. Wont have time to play them all unfortunately

I planned on buying AC Shadows...but when 33 immortals dropped on GP I had no idea what it was and downloaded it anyway to check it out. Needless to say, I'm hooked. Excellent game and I know/hope they continue to add to it. I'm addicted to it at the moment but when it wears off in a couple weeks I'll then join the AC shadows hype.

@Residentsteven they were still working on DLCs and updates for we happy few well into 2019. Probably didn't start this until 2020.

Been having fun but it sucks getting to Lucifer repeatedly just to die. Hopefully as people learn the game a little more I will finally be able to say I beat him

Just finished Doom 2016 yesterday. Im going to play Eternal next. Fun games to just run around and kill everything that moves pretty mindlessly.

Glad I held off a bit on starting this. It is high on my list, but these patches will make it much more enjoyable.
