Continuing my first playthrough of Lies of P. Great game. The atmosphere is amazing. I usually only play one game at a time but once I finish this definitely stalker 2
Maybe just me but the maps seems to be the worst in terms of 'flow,' ive seen ina while. And spawns can use some work. I have repeatedly been shot in the back seconds after respawn
@Ricky-Spanish I assume they are free, but who knows anymore. They'll probably add it as one of their "games" for the second half of Novembers gamepass drop.
Currently still playing Lies of P, but I'm a pretty big fan of the dragon age games. Ive beat all of them (some more than once). Might need to switch over to that especially with all the positive reviews. I'm having FOMO.
Pushing through Lies Of P. Fantastic game, but only on chapter 5 so far (out of 11 I think). I have tried out a few weapons but honestly I am still sticking with my starter weapon and I keep pumping upgrades into it. It's worked well so far but hoping it doesn't bite me in the ass later.
@GamingFan4Lyf but they also need to consider how many of those 30 million are xbox only console players? I think a lot of people own an Xbox and playstation in today's market. So are people going to buy the game twice if they have it on another system already?
Never got to Remnant 2. Hopefully that stays a little longer cause I did want to check it out. It's a big list but I think anything else I was interested in I got around to.
@TheEstablishment that huge drop is likely just Black ops 6. I think they feel like that alone is going to cause a spike in subs. Hopefully more though.
I had a lot of fun with it for a couple months when it came on GP. Glad they are continuing to add new stuff. Not sure if I'll buy it though I already had my fill of it and too many other games to move on to
@GamingFan4Lyf I agree with some of what you said but I don't think MS is securing the future of xbox. I'd say the opposite. They are securing their space as a 3rd party publisher and xbox is last on the list for them. If they were securing xbox they'd make exclusives. If they put games on playstation after 3 months (Indiana jones) soon it will be same day.
It seems like since the xbox showcase they have drastically cut back on the amount of games coming and the quality. Could just be my taste though. I guess they thought putting MW3 on there was gonna coast them until black ops
I think I'll check out the back ops 6 beta. Otherwise I'll also start diablo 4. Haven't played it yet so will be starting from the beginning. I figured with dlc coming nows a good time to start a character.
@Feffster how is AoE4 on a controller? I love RTS and have been thinking about trying it on my xbox. Do you play against people with mouse and keyboard and does it seem work okay fairness wise?
I thought they said "when looking at games to bring to playstation we looked at games that were over a year old, and/or small passion projects that made sense". They need to stop talking cause within months they just end up reversing whatever they say.
Forza, halo, and gears are pretty much what defined xbox for the better part of a decade. I have a feeling the others will follow suit at some point. Great game though! Love the forza series
@Burnfeeling I specifically said xbox exclusive. You added in a 3rd to fit your narrative. Sorry I dont celebrate dlc as new releases. You can keep making excuses for them. I expect a little better
So this year is hellblade and indy. 2 exclusives with about 40 studios. I'm all about giving games time but this is another drought year for xbox. At some point you gotta question their ability to manage this many studios.
MW III for me. I've been wanting to play a multiplayer shooter for a while and it's nice to just play a few matches and be done for a bit. I think I was getting open world fatigue and needed something different for a while.
Took about a week break from jedi survivor because I was getting a bit bored but think I might jump in and finish it. I feel like I've gotta be near the end
If they can get on a consistent schedule of releasing quality games every quarter and continue to get 3rd party support for gamepass the brand has a good chance. But xbox sales are extremely low. They really need to give people a solid reason to buy an Xbox (exclusives would do that). Despite all their studios, the first party games are slow to come out. Hopefully that changes beginning this fall. I much prefer to game on my xbox then anything else so I hope all works out!
Jedi survivor, I might shelve this. It is a great game but I've played so many games recently like this lately that I think I'm getting open world fatigue, even though I know I could just jam out the main quest I can't help but explore every little nook and cranny and side quests that I'm burnt out. Need a palate cleanser after this for sure. Any suggestions?
@WhiteRabbit I know and i believe it does have to do with their own parity clause like baldera gate 3. I just was meaning why are they saying "we can't talk about the deals are partners make" then in reference to this game? Like if their is a deal in place just say it...what are they gonna do?
I really never understood why people can't just say what the problem is. Like just come out and say "Sony paid for timed exclusivity" if it is the case. What are they gonna do? Sue them? Judge: "why are we here?" Sony: "MS said we paid for time exclusivity" Judge: "did you?" Sony: "yes".
Thinking about getting back into Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I played it a lot when it came out but stopped for a while. Looks like they've added new maps and characters the past couple months.
Every time they said world premiere I did a small prayer that it would be gears lol. The other games looked fantastic though. I kinda thought Gears would be something they'd close out with, like dropping the mic after such a good showcase as they walk off stage. Happy with the direction they're going.
Honestly surprised they are still updating For Honor 8 years later. Didn't think it had a big enough player base after all these years to justify the dev cost. I played it for the first 6 months or so, it was cool, but I eventually moved on.

Started Lies of P and really liking it so far. I've been wanting to play it for a long time and am worried it'll leave gamepass.
Re: Xbox Shocktober Sale Now Live, 250+ Games Included This Year
Metro exodus for $4.50 is crazy.
Re: These 10 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (October 16 - November 5)
Counting cloud additions of games that are already on PC/Xbox gets my hopes up haha.
Honestly I see 2 additions that aren't f2p or have already been on gamepass: South park and mech warrior.

Started a rogue in Diablo 4 so I'll he grinding on that. Never played it before so first run through

Re: These Three Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (September 19-24)
Raise the price, cut the amount of games in half. Sounds about right.
Re: Xbox Legend Major Nelson Asks For 'More Varied Experiences' At Lower Price Points
I'd just be happy with games at all at this point, at least from team green.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Sequel A 'Big Priority' For Warner Bros In The Next Few Years
Gotta recoup those suicide squad losses.
Re: These Five Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (September 3-17)
But, but, gamepass is supposed to be all about me and what I like.... not the other 25 million subs.
That being said this month so far isn't for me lol.

@Realist what did you expect it to show? Showed some gameplay reels, kill streaks, and maps. It's a trailer, not a state of play.

Re: These Three Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (August 7-13)
@GuyinPA75 yeah it's still pretty popular. They've added a few new maps and killers/survivors. I have played since day 1 and still play occasionally

Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (June 18-27)
Still wakes the deep, and I still have a ton of gamepass backlog games. Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen, Far Cry 6, Diablo 4 and the list goes on.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 15-16)
Thinking about getting back into Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I played it a lot when it came out but stopped for a while. Looks like they've added new maps and characters the past couple months.
Re: Preview: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Is A Confident Return for BioWare
