I beat it a couple days ago and thought it was great. My wife even watched every time I played. Hopefully some one does a physical release for this so I can buy it.
It's crazy to see so many people not care about having physical games. Even if only part of the game is actually on the disc. You pay the same for a digital copy vs a physical but you have nothing that holds any value. I have some Dreamcast games I bought years ago that are now $300+
Being able to play 5 days early means I can play over my weekend off instead of having a much more limited time on tuesday after work. Plus $9 is less than me getting Chipotle or lunch somewhere else.
@LaurenceJ1987 I'm glad I played this. It's not usually my type of game but if this ever gets a physical release I'm buying it. This is what makes Game Pass great
Stalker 2 easily my number one of this year, and it will only get better. Harold Halibut was a suprise to me. Definitely not for everyone but I found it quite enjoyable. I guess that's how others see Stalker 2.
Best year yet. I played a lot of games I liked but would have never tried if it wasn't for Gamepass. Soccer Story, Cocoon, A Short Hike, Planet of Lana, Botany Manor, Mount and Blade.
I'll quit gaming before I go all digital. It looks like I won't be playing Avowed just like I skipped Hellblade 2. It sucks but I barely have time to play games anyway.
I'm really liking it. I loved the first 3 and was afraid they might screw this one up but they didn't. I'm playing on quality mode and haven't encountered any crashes or game effecting bug.
I bought my Series X on launch day and between me and my kids it's almost always being used. Last gen I had an Xbox One then got a One S, then a One X, then the One X died so I bought another One X. Thank you Microsoft for making a system to last the generation from the start.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 3-4)
If I have any free time, Expedition 33. I made an executive desision to lower the difficulty to story and I'm enjoying the game much more.

Re: Talking Point: Will Any Next-Gen Xbox Have A Disc Drive?
It's crazy to see so many people not care about having physical games. Even if only part of the game is actually on the disc. You pay the same for a digital copy vs a physical but you have nothing that holds any value. I have some Dreamcast games I bought years ago that are now $300+

Dave the Diver and Pacific Drive would be my first go to games. But I'd still prefer an actual Xbox release.
Re: Xbox Series X|S Sales Now Trailing Almost 20% Behind Xbox One In The US
This gen I have only had my Series X. Last gen I went through 5 Xbox ones. Multiple models of the same gen console surely helped sales figures.

Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
@LaurenceJ1987 I'm glad I played this. It's not usually my type of game but if this ever gets a physical release I'm buying it. This is what makes Game Pass great

Tony Hawk 1+2 if I can find anyone online
Re: Talking Point: Are You Happy With The Current Xbox UI As It Stands In 2025?

Re: Croc Developer Insists There's 'Almost No Demand' For A Physical Xbox Version
I'm 35 and never heard of this game until this remaster. This isn't going to sell well on any platform. Digital or physical.
Re: Poll: What Is Your Xbox Game Of The Year For 2024?
Stalker 2 easily my number one of this year, and it will only get better. Harold Halibut was a suprise to me. Definitely not for everyone but I found it quite enjoyable. I guess that's how others see Stalker 2.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Overall Thoughts On Xbox Game Pass In 2024?

Re: Xbox Fans Plead With Microsoft: 'Don't Forget About Us Physical Gamers'
I'll quit gaming before I go all digital. It looks like I won't be playing Avowed just like I skipped Hellblade 2. It sucks but I barely have time to play games anyway.

Tony Hawk 1+2. 20 minutes or so of just skating around with good music

Stalker 2! I've been waiting for 15 years for a sequel. I'll give Indy a shot but only because I have Game Pass.

Re: Xbox's Call Of Duty Series Has Now Sold Over 500 Million Copies
I've bought probably 10 or so of them. The first two and then most of the Xbox One and up era. After CoD 2 all I played was campaign.
