@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.

Definitely going to check out Atomfall

This is an Xbox

I dont really care what they want to call it, console, PC, paperweight...as long as it plugs into my TV and plays games that's all I need

I've said it a few times, but Lies of P is amazing if you like souls types. The setting, story, and gameplay are all great and I can't wait for the DLC and sequel. However, I doubt there is time to beat it unless you binge from here on out

Wow botany manor? Does not feel like a year

About halfway through Doom 2016. Playing on Ultra Violence which is the perfect amount of difficulty for me. I die a fair amount but never get stuck on a part for more than just a couple tries.

...welp... there's always the second half

@Old_Man_Harper this haha. I feel too bad for the monsters lol. But don't care others enjoy it of course and I know it's just a game

@Foxx_64740 thanks! I have subbed to gamepass ultimate since it was created (4 years?) And in the past 2 years there's been so many game options on it i just haven't had the need to spend 70 on a game.

So glad I got to beat lies of P before it leaves. Going to have to buy it just to play the DLC, but it is well deserved of the money (I hardly ever buy games....I know, I'm part of the problem).

@NintendoByNature definitely. Yeah I started Avowed and I will for sure play/finish it, but now just wasn't the time. After I finish a game i generally have to play something pretty different or I find myself getting bored. I'm looking forward to Atomfall later this month.

Playing Doom 2016, then going to move onto Eternal. Getting ready for Dark Ages. Awesome games that I think are what I needed. Was getting a little burnt out on RPGs and souls likes. Needed something more mindless and shorter time commitment

@Ricky-Spanish i agree. And I was partially just joking but looking back on this rollercoaster you can definitely see the phases. I definitely went through a few phaes myself.

The stages of grief... first there was denial, then anger, and now we are in acceptance lol

It's probably best it was delayed. I'm sure they have tons of projects going and this years line up is Avowed, South of Midnight, Doom, Outer Worlds 2, Call of Duty...plus 3rd party biggies like borderlands 4, Ninja gaiden 4, assassins creed, lies of p dlc, GTA6... looking forward to seeing what they have cooking for 2026

@abe_hikura With Avowed, Doom, and Call Of Duty, I'm not sure Fable was their biggest known game coming this year.

No silksong makes me sad

@Kaloudz glad you're doing okay!

Finally going to get some time with Avowed. Only got to play a couple hours this week because work was a little hectic. Looking forward to taking a deep dive the next couple days.
