@Dr_ENT Yeah, when GTA6 comes out there's a good chance I'll pull the trigger on the Pro as I'd like to play the best version of the game available. Just a shame it's not coming straight to PC where I could have played it at on much higher settings.
Don't go into a subreddit for a game expecting to find fans of said game, you'll be horribly disappointed. You'll actually tend to get downvoted and called a shill for saying anything positive. It's awful.
@Jark well, they've changed it to only being able to get them on Gamepass games now so that stops people using these super easy achievement games (and encourages people to engage with Gamepass more).
@Widey85 Yeah, played it a bit last night single player (not into multiplayer at all) and was irritated by not being able to pause. Otherwise in the couple of hours I played I found it quite atmospheric and fun. I'll see how I feel when I get more time in on it. Certainly would rather have had a proper single player game.
@UltimateOtaku91 I hadn't read all of the comments when I posted and saw that the subject of your original post had been quite heavily covered by this point so despite my agreeing with some of the earlier responses I chose to remove my post as some later replies had gotten a little mean spirited I felt.
Give it a go if you have gamepass man! You never know, it might surprise you 😁👍😉
Wouldn't necessarily normally be my type of thing but I'm down to give this a go on gamepass, it sounds odd and I like anything different. I'm particularly keen now I've seen SWERY made it, I loved Deadly Premonition. Not that this looks at all similar.
Doesn't seem bad using cloud streaming on my laptop on that smaller screen but I did try it once on my desktop which is on my 70" and it looked horrendous blown up that big (500 mb/s connection through ethernet). Dunno if this was a one off. It'll maybe do just to quickly try stuff out without downloading at least.
@Beermonkey My thoughts too in regards to rewards. Handy if it's a game I've not downloaded to quickly jump on and get them. I was using my laptop for this purpose previously.
@Nightcrawler71 Absolutely, four player split screen there's still nothing quite like it. Particularly in 4k it'd be great. Given how everyone has huge TV's nowadays I'd love more four player split screen games!
Personally I don't particularly care to read any kind of content warning before digesting any kind of art/media, like in the example of this game it would have been a surprise to me (knowing very little about the game upon release) to find that it dealt with deeper subjects than I'd expected going in, this may have made the affect of that content more engaging to me. However I do appreciate that perhaps there are people who have underlying issues that could be triggered by certain types of content. My solution would be to start putting some kind of start menu option labelled 'content warning' or whatever in place for games featuring potentially contentious material whereby you select it and it gives you a run down of the kind of content to expect in game. This way folk like myself can avoid any kind of content warnings whilst those who feel differently have the option there should they require it.
Yep, I've had this issue. Lost around 6 hours of progress. I'm not going to play anymore until a patch is confirmed by which point I've chance to have lost interest completely with so many games releasing atm. May well be a waste of 60 quid as I tried for a refund but got this reply....
'I understand you're requesting a refund. Here's what I found out after looking into your request:
We can’t provide a refund to this request. Your purchase is not eligible for under the Microsoft Stores Terms of Sale.'
So yeah, a product not being fit for use does not provide eligibility under the Microsoft terms (I bought it digitally)...

Hmm, hope this is good as it totally look like my jam. I'll be all over it as long as it gets middling reviews or higher.

@NeutronBomb do you need a lie down there buddy? You seem disproportionately agitated about something you don't care much about.
