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.

@Onlyboxmatters "it truly seems one of the greatest games of all time" I wouldn't go that far lol ...but it is a great game. I've enjoyed what I played.

@LaurenceJ1987 @Kaloudz 1984 here my fellow 80s friends

Wow, Rogue Trader campaign is massive... 100 hours for Main plus sides on How Long To Beat.. 154 hours for Completionist.

@Kaloudz you were correct on the Tuesday drop! All this time I could never figure out the schedule haha. Thanks!

@Deljo yep, as long as you create a gamertag and subscribe to gamepass MS doesn't care how you do it. They'll still consider that joining their ecosystem since they are heavy into cloud

I know they said that they aren't trying to get PS gamers to switch (which is fine), but if I was seeing this as a PS only gamer and saw that list and I can get all these day one on gamepass...I'd be tempted.

@themightyant thanks for that data breakdown. Honestly makes me feel like I'm not going crazy when I feel like GP is slowing down a bit the last few months yet people swear it's better than ever haha. Either way, still a good value. I think (as someone else said in another thread) they feel like they can put out a first party game every 2 or 3 months now so they don't want to invest too much in 3rd party. But who knows.

@Kaloudz do they usually announce games on Tuesdays? I always wondered when but can never figure out their gp announcement schedule.

@TheEstablishment i think everyone knew they were making one more console since they confirmed it multiple times. I think most people think this new one though will sell a fraction of what the xsx sold and then they'll bow out. But by then you are right, gamepass will be there 'console' and it'll be an app you can stream on anything anywhere.
