Gears of War 4 campaign in co-op. I played some Gears 5 and Hivebusters before that and I would say GoW 4 campaing is way better so far. Other than that I played some Mass Effect 1. Not waiting for remaster, original works fine via backwards compatibility unless they will add it to Game Pass, then I may play second one remastered.
@DaveOMac It's probably that and this comment is just a justification. People often forget that corporations do not give explanations but justifications to their policies. They are created only after a decision was already made based on financial considerations. They are companies making money after all. Just people fall for justyfing narratives companies make and take them as some serious point of discussion. There is nothing to discuss because it's meaningless. Real point is, do we like or don't like them making paid upgrades seeing that many others have changed their policy?
At launch Energy Saving Mode was terrible, at least for me, because it took more than minute to connect to wifi internet. It seems it was fixed with some patch since now it connects really fast so I don't need Instant-On at all.
Anthem, great example when parent company interfere in artistic creation. EA forced on Bioware online game yet they never have done such a game. They also forced them to use Frostbite engine which they didn't know and had to learn to use. There was a disaster in the making, two issues both technical and creative were upon them to resolve. No one would make it.
@xMightyMatt14x I am great fan of early Bioware, especially of DnD era: Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Kotor 1. I remember back in the day I was sceptical about their newer projects, Mass Effect because it didn't felt like rpg to me but more like fps (!) and Dragon Age because it was based on their own lore which felt generic to me compared to DnD. Now looking at how RPG genre changed in the last decade or so I am willing to consider Mass Effect 1 a hardcore RPG by present standarts haha. Graphics are no issue to me, only frame rate lower than 30 is killing my brain and eyes haha.
I started to play ME 1 on Game Pass, never played it much before and I am on the fence whether to play it or just stop and wait for remastered version.
I'm interested in Pray, Wolfenstein New Order and Colossus. Replaying Morrowind on TV would be interesting experience. Also in the day I never finished Oblivion addons, would be nice to finish it on TV in 60 fps.
@GamingFan4Lyf I wonder if it will be an fps if MachineGames are doing it. Maybe they don't want to make it similar to Uncharted and gameplay will be more like Mirror's Edge in terms of climbing.
@BlueOcean I looked at the reviews of their current games and maybe it is good that Perfect Dark was moved to other studio. And I see that Rare are working on Everwild
I played for maybe two hours (Series X), didn't notice any glitches apart from something like a drift, character was walking on its own in tutorial when finished one of the tasks. Had to move around for it to stop. Graphics aren't that great that's true, not much differences between performance and higher quality except for fps so performance is the best way to play. Other than that, game looks promising, love how it is so interactive with enviroment, especially control panels, computers, hacking, while mini game is tedious, is interesting way to change situation in battles.

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition News Might Be On The Way This Week
@Javman197 Although its 30 fps it works so smoothly compared to PS3 version I played some time before, it was more like 25 than 30.
