@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.
When I had a Switch the only games I had were exclusives. The only game I bought that wasn't exclusive was A Short Hike because Xbox never got a physical version. But I still played it on Xbox.
I still have the first games original and arcade mode maps memorized to this day. I hope it's a 2025 release especially if that footage is already 2 years old
