I will try a game on gamepass and if I like it I will buy a physical copy. I don't limit my gaming to just gamepass though. I'm not waiting several years for GTA6 to come to gamepass.
@Kaloudz Tony Hawk and Crazy Taxi were probably my most played games in late 90s/ early 2000s.
I'm 5 hours in and I agree it's not as good as 1+2 but that game let us use manuals, reverts, and spin tranfers on maps we never could before. And yes, the soundtrack was better.
I'm not far in but I've enjoyed what I've played so far. It's funny to me how much chaos you can create chasing someone but none of it matters as long as you arrest the bad guy.
I can already see it, I'll have one to many and see it on Amazon for $30 and pull the trigger. It will then take me another week or two to actually install it.
I have also done this twice but just last week my Series X overheated after a couple hours in Expedition 33. I took it out of the little cubby in my TV stand and now the fan never even kicks into high mode.
Most AAA games now are too big to fit on a single disc. I have Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones and both came with a single disc and both those games are well over 100gb.
I put 10 hours into it on PC last year and could not get past the driving physics. If this is true it probably wont get a physical release anyway so I won't buy it.
I just used my rewards points to redem $30 to Amazon and pre ordered The Precinct last night. Now I just need to finish Expesition 33 so I will have time to play it.

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Mafia: The Old Country
Some of my favorite games are 7/10s. I'm sure this will be excellent.

Spiderman would be cool. Maybe Mavel could step in like the MLB did with The Show games.
Re: Battlefield 6 Price & Release Date Leak Ahead Of 2025 Xbox Launch
$80 for a game I'll probably put 600+ hours into comes out to less that 0.14 cents an hour. Well worth it to me.

Re: Talking Point: As A Game Pass Subscriber, Do You Still Spend Money In Xbox Sales?

@Kaloudz Tony Hawk and Crazy Taxi were probably my most played games in late 90s/ early 2000s.
I'm 5 hours in and I agree it's not as good as 1+2 but that game let us use manuals, reverts, and spin tranfers on maps we never could before. And yes, the soundtrack was better.

Re: Two 'Exciting New Features' Are Coming To The Precinct On Xbox This Week
I'm not far in but I've enjoyed what I've played so far. It's funny to me how much chaos you can create chasing someone but none of it matters as long as you arrest the bad guy.

Re: 'Huge' Number Of People Cancelling DOOM Pre-Orders Over 'Botched Physical Release'
@GoldenPants
Your Ultima III floppys hold value. The digital version you spent money on is gone
Re: 'Huge' Number Of People Cancelling DOOM Pre-Orders Over 'Botched Physical Release'
Most AAA games now are too big to fit on a single disc. I have Stalker 2 and Indiana Jones and both came with a single disc and both those games are well over 100gb.
