@SplooshDmg I really really hope so

Series X has enough storage for this. It's a great opportunity to play that backlog for clearance =)

I wish he replaced my Alexa. She's sounding really smug these days

Almost every new addition to game pass is on my radar. =)

It's never around for long. Luckily it tends to leave just as there's a sale happening.

So I guess you could say you'll be back 4 back 4 blood...or something like that....ahem. I'll be playing this day one on game pass WEEEEEEEEEEEE

Far cry 5, Ascent, Katamari roll thingy, (it's almost too fun) and still dabbling in some zombie slaying on Dying light.

I played it on my series X the day it came out, didn't run into any problems and the game itself ran fairly well. I guess I was just lucky. It's such a waste that the game failed on other platforms. I hope the next gen update offers a kind of comeback story for it, and let's be honest, it's a game that seemingly should never have been released on previous gen consoles. At least I don't think it should have been. You know what, just give me witcher next gen. Um...yeah

@Bdbrady I haven't but I'll try it next pay day =)

Loving these time loop games. Just finished forgotten city, so definitely hungry for more

@SplooshDmg hahaha same. They practically sat back and watched me play mortal kombat, GTA3, Conkers. The only game I was told to turn off was leisure suite Larry. I'm not sure if that was because it was smut, or just a terrible game haha

@SplooshDmg YESSSS! Even chefs love shack would do haha

Ah the days of South park on N64, THOSE TURKEYS were the stuff of nightmares. I would love a remake. I wanna see yellow snowballs in 4K

I'm downloading it as we speak

I want it I want it I want it. Seriously I'm into zombies lately. Maybe this pandemic has made me morbid? Maybe...

@SplooshDmg hundred percent agree.

@FatalBubbles Bethesda, game pass, next gen upgrades. That's why I brought a series X. Of course, like a lot of people, I got wrapped up in the whole "it's shiny and new" motivation but still, I knew why I wanted to go with Xbox after having been with PlayStation most my life. They're more consumer friendly, or at the least, cheaper for my wallet. Now to think Bethesda games, Fable, Perfect dark, and Obsidian are game pass and most probably MS exclusives then well...It's a no brainer

"Not enough Xbox games" or "that's weak not a console seller soooo" honestly, the more insecure and the more vocal these type of so called gamers are is even more confirmation to just how amazing Xbox is doing this generation. But what baffles me most is that there really isn't any need to be so negative and passive aggressive over a console doing well, especially when all the other consoles are also doing well, it's a case of just being toxic for toxic sake. Or maybe it's actual bitterness because they spent over five hundred pounds on a console with only few games and hiked up prices. Maybe it's the not being able to play games like flight simulator or halo on their preferred console. Maybe they're just worried that a certain Sony platform will be a dust collector except for those moments when a 12 hour blockbuster comes along for a spell. I don't know. I guess I don't care. All I know is that everyone I know who has a ps5 is barely touching it. Everyone I know who has a series X has possibly touched it more than they should. Oh well, I'm off to finish the last chapter of world war Z.

I see the usual unbiased commentators are out again, haha.

I guess the team will ascend from here...see what I did there? Okay it doesn't quite work but...ahem. This is very good news, yes yes.

@SplooshDmg the thought alone made my tummy feel weird haha

This was always going to happen. Xbox keeps making waves, it's critics is gonna grab at straws as much as possible, but ultimately it won't matter. Nothing stops a fun game being fun

Katamari! This feels like a nice appetizer before the main course (pscyhonaughts 2) just so long as the scallops aren't RAW I'll be more than happy to feast on all of these.

August is looking mighty fine for game pass. This looks like a nice chill out game to play in between other games. Can't wait!

@Richnj You always seem to be arguing with people, hence why I called you disputatious. Nothing personal about an observational fact. I know this guy, always at the same bus stop, always moaning about the news. At some point you think, dude, just don't watch the news. If anyone tries to engage in conversation it'll always break out into some heated debate. I've watched strangers take the bait time and time again. He's a lovely bloke, very friendly and hard working and would offer you his last fiver if you needed it, but man, doesn't he moan about the news a lot.

@John117 he's one of those disputatious "unbias" commentators = not worth massaging his deluded ego

Left 4 dead sequel is no longer left 4 dead...okay, I admit it, that was a bad joke. Can't wait to play this!

In their place - Psychonaughts 2, Hades, Ascent, Flight simulator, 12 minutes, and more. =)

Don't wanna sound like a conspiracy theories here but seeing as this was an xbox exclusive AND not a game pass addition, it seems like MS are testing the waters for exclusive non game pass games on the market. Nothing wrong in that at all, if anything the two elements might make for a lucrative concoction of exclusive games. Game pass providing day one in house studio games, allowing players to afford third party exclusives. Maybe I'm just over thinking it haha, better get some coffee on the go

12 minutes, Psychonaughts, hades. Wonder what other August game pass releases will come out...either way, what a solid month =D

@somnambulance I thought the exact same thing, they've utilised that Bethesda feel perfectly, maybe better even

@S1ayeR74 agreed =) I ended up selling my switch because of the hefty price for games. It sucks because I actually really like the quality of games both Nintendo and Sony out out, but it also feels like I'm being taken advantage of. Video games shouldn't be a rich persons game, it shouldn't cost you a chunk of your earnings. There should, and thankfully is, a more affordable way to game. I use to be one of those people who waited a whole year for the latest release so I could at least get it at discount. Thanks to game pass I get to play first party day one games. I'm very tempted by the steam deck, though. I'll wait and see =)

@Blessed_Koz I wish my game store screwed the price hahah. Same here though, my wife has my one x now while insane the Series X. I think I'll end up getting a ps4 pro for the same reason, but not in any rush haha

I got three out of four endings so far. I love this game. Imagine what this team could do with more money and more support. Phil has to make these guys an offer!

@Spiders I agree. I use to be super duper into ps4 haha, but when I tried game pass out and started looking at both companies without a bias lens, I learnt that Xbox was under new management and far more consumer friendlier whilst Sony made my wallet ache. Sony have great exclusives but at that price tag, nah. Their whole director cut fee and SSD confusing along with their constant schoolyard critcism of their competitors leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I tend to drift toward more positive outlets and so far, Xbox is putting out them vibes

Forgotten city, Omno, Flight simulator, Dying light =)

And so it begins...full gamepass integration, soon we will have it uploaded into our very minds. =)

You know for a FACT there will be certain groups out there waiting to crap on this parade =( Halo and Crossfire X campaigns are looking awesome

@Fenbops I like the ones who are trying to appear unbias but ultimately lose it when you disagree with them hahaha

The more zombies the better. I'm in a proper undead mood lately, reading world war Z and Year Zero, playing dying light, watching walking dead with my wife, might just full on commit and start eating my neighbours brains.

I swear PlayStation fans are becoming more and more like ISIS. Just saying. Speak out against their console or make any small critcism and it's full Jihad.

This has skyrocketed right to the top of my must buy list

I caved and got it and I have no regrets =) Thought, well, Flight simulator and ascent have spared my wallet so why not.

Due to the timing of these release dates I just add an extra day to release, that way I'm not waiting around to 6pm to play it. So, in my mind, this is out on the 30th ahha

Phil Spencer always congratulating the competition while the competition is busy fanning silly fan wars and moaning about what MS are up to instead of focusing on their own field. Like everyone has pointed out, 10 pound subscription from 18 million plus subs is quite a hoard of monthly income. Funny that this story breaks out just as reports are coming in that Xbox are succeeding at climbing those hurdles. Worse yet is that this kind of half assed comment sparks the whole arm chair self proclaimed business minded playhards who'll jump on this as more toxic ammo for their already shallow arsenal of arguments. I strongly feel this is a tactile attack on MS, at the point where things are peaking and at a time where PlayStation is being called up on their anti consumer BS, we get numpties like this spouting crap.

North Korea to South Korea then to my neighbours house where I crashed into it, hah! My wife showed me where went during her trip to Africa few years back, and then I tried to find area 51 but got lost. Going to check out Tokyo and Egypt soon.

Was really really hoping it was gonna end up on GP. The fact that an official xbox tweet mislead me into thinking it was feels slightly stingy. Maybe I'm just being a big baby, after all there's load to play this month, but still...will wait for a sale or something. 25 pounds is a bit much for me, until payday that is.

@gollumb82 he's no Han solo thats for sure

Crashing into peoples houses like a lunatic YES! Delving into a seedy blood thirsty cyberpunk world YES! Yes is my answer. Just...yes.

I saw the official xbox tweet that Forgotten city was coming to game pass as well. I guess it's not happening now unless they reveal later today or tomorrow. I was really excited for it, too. I'm still of course gonna play the hell out of ascent
