@EvilSilentFrame I'd try the Pirates of the Caribbean content. All of that is single player and helps get the hang of some things. Also the Maiden Voyage. I love the game but it's better with friends. If you are going to solo it's definitely still fun you just have to limit your approach and haul.
I’m fine with all of these. To me it’s games I don’t own to try out. I already pay for my game pass with my reward points so it’s all “free” gaming. I see a lot of criticism but at least their is a method to it and a standard. If you are on the one you get these, s series you get them and x series. If they are 360 games you keep them.
I’ve never returned a game. I hardly ever return things in general. Hopefully these EU laws also change our consumer protection laws in the US. Thanks for caring about your citizens.
I love extreme sports games. The more on game pass the better. Sunk quite a few hours in descenders but didn’t really like skate bird. I’ve been eyeing this one for awhile.
I’d love a new Warcraft rts. I’d love for stand-alone Warcraft and StarCraft games in a different genre focusing on the lore. I love Diablo but sick of the grind. Tony hawk is great plus skate and skater xl make me want them to revamp and go with the better controller scheme. Call of duty can be great again just have it every few years and a little slower. All these titles are great though.
I’d love to see a horizons blur dlc add on. If it sells well do a horizons blur and compete with Mario kart. I’d love to see stand alone Warcraft games and star craft games and Diablo. Let ninja theory try a single player on that. Or obsidian. Let the studios shine and let them do what they want and the audience will be there. Now I see how Microsoft wants a first party game out every three months. Totally achievable now with 30ish studios giving AAA games three years.
This is huge news for me. I love that it’s coming over and I would of bought it but glad it’s on game pass. Microsoft is firing on all cylinders and every month I’m happier that I switched back from going to Sony last generation. My switch, PS4 and gaming pc are all pretty much packed up but I’m also moving too.
Excited about every game hitting game pass next week. Good online coop, couch coop, single player games. indies to AAA. Actually pretty excited for pupperazzi too to relax.
I just want to cross play with all my friends on whatever console we own and if I'm not with them I'd like to be able to select Xbox online or console only. I do think the controller only method works quite well and splitting teams up based on input so 2 key 2 controllers vs 2 key 2 controllers. Just give us the options and I'm fine. Changed a lot just going xbox on Sea of Thieves.
@GuyinPA75 You can easily stack about 10-20k "tickets" or points a month and it lets me try new games. Use it to buy game pass every month or get gift cards and purchase games and enter into raffles. NFT's have nothing to do with Microsoft Reward Points.
Yeah take out the griefers, racists, toxic, tantrum, over braggers, cheaters out of my games. You can be great but you don't have to gloat. If you want to cheat go do that offline and break the game. No need for any of this in the real world so there is no need for it in the "online" world. It's VERY easy to be a civil and polite person in the world and especially online. Go in your own party with your friends and be toxic and racist and annoying. No need to spread your hate.
I agree 1000%. It's great not having to convince your friends and family to purchase a game to play it with you. I've been able to show many friends Sea of Thieves because of it's inclusion on game pass. These are people that have played it only a few times and got burnt and hated it. I got to teach them the ropes and a lot of the advanced stuff and they are eager to play again. COOP and GAME PASS are a no brainer.
Bring all the coop games to game pass. Makes it really easy to play with friends and I don’t have to be in marketing to convince them to buy the actual product.
Super happy it's on game pass. Game Pass and Coop are a perfect gift. All my friends can now try it out and the ones that love it can stick and the ones that don't can not feel bad about spending money on the ownership of it.
Olli Olli. Starfield. Red Fall. Stalker 2. Hellblade 2? Plagues Tale 2? ESO expansion. Lots of indies. Sea of Thieves updates. Great year catching up on old games, updates to games I already play and brand new games. I hope Microsoft has a showcase before E3. I really like their videos with developer commentary and all the enthusiasm.
I'm excited to try out Spelunky again. I got it on the PS4 and never got too into it even though I've heard great things. Now that it's on Game Pass I should be able to rope a few friends in and see if it's better coop.
I fear I'd get sick. I get nauseous just wearing safety glasses at work. I'm fine with my 4k television, game pass, with my hue lighting system and headset for immersion. I still need to do chores and be aware of my surroundings with the cat and partner. I'd like to see them do stuff with AR which Microsoft is more transitioned into with the holo lense.
Good for him. Hopefully he can spend sometime with his family and friends and figure out what he wants out of life after achieving so much in his industry.
I'm excited to play these two games. I have the Phillips Hue system for my television so getting to try and fast paced games like twin stick shooters and shmups. Not sure about the argument about PS plus. You only have those games until you end your subscription. Also 2/3 have been on Game Pass for a year and the other isn't even on Xbox.
They are going to keep making these articles because look at the reaction. They are going to keep making paid cosmetics in games because they sell. They are going to keep complaining. I love my Halo kitty ears because I love my cat and my partner thinks they are cute. I don't care what a bunch of strangers say on the internet. I work enough to purchase what ever I want.
I can wait. I'm fine with them showing it "early" because it was supposed to showcase this generation during the X event. I have faith in Rare and in Microsoft. Even if this goes through the "early access" treatment so they can take feedback from the fans and shape the game i.e. Sea of Thieves.
I bought Sessions, R-Type 2 and Sine Mora Ex. Only thing really missing in Game Pass are Schmups. Sessions is hard to play because I've played so much Skater XL and Skate 1-3.
I absolutely love sea of thieves. I was in the closed beta on my old laptop and I still enjoyed it but it didn’t run that well. Now with all the updates and it being on my series X it’s my most played game. What a success story!
@Cherip-the-Ripper @mousieone Yeah Phil and Sarah have both expressed that family orientated games is an area that they want to see Xbox expand. I think they are doing pretty good with Minecraft and with Game Pass.
I had to restrain myself from buying series S for each nephew for the holidays.
90%. Bought a few games not on the service like battlefield and riders republic. I try my best to try every game on game pass because I like to play different games.
Yeah there needs to be a way to stop it. I probably said some stupid stuff online when I was a kid too. Racism, sexism, griefing and bullying need to find a way out of online gaming. I report as much as I can when I find these people out in the wild. Bans, suspensions and if it keeps having start taking levels away. Probably these people need help and education and they are in a community that can breed these ideations. You say something dumb and get a laugh out of your buddies. Well you are going to keep saying that nonsense until someone puts you in your place or you yourself find out that what you are saying "online" affects people "offline."
I played Recompile, Dark Alliance and Skate Bird all on game pass. I thought Recompile was pretty good and I want to go back to it. I felt like dark alliance just needed a lot of polish/patches and I expect to try it again soon. Skate Bird was bad. I would of bought it too and I'm glad I got to try it out.
Just beat it today. My partner was watching the entire time. Very reminiscent of old school platformers. Had a few bugs but everything is very casual until the end. I loved the music and thought the story was enough. Perfect game pass game. Probably 6-8 hours. And I got most of the achievements.
