Played the EA golf game. It's stick flick only which is disappointing. I'm no good at it. Really miss golf games having that three button press.

Speaking of PGA, do you guys plan on reviewing the new EA golf game?

Oh, cool. I played the first one a bit but kinda didn't fully grasp it and fell off pretty qiuck. Will definitely give this one a go.

Can't believe how greedy this dev is bleeding us dry with micro transactions! /s

Day one buy. Dude deserves it.

You can tell when the Suicide Squad blurb was written lol.

Absolutely loving Valheim. Playing it near obsessively.

Surprising tbh. I really didn't like anything about the video that dropped on the Xbox direct. Sounds promising though.

Loving it. Just started mining for ore and setting up for the 2nd boss.

They can't do better than "spring" for the release date of the CK3 dlc for consoles? I swear they have sloths doing the port...

Awesome. Looking forward to both.

Looks great. Glad it's a Gamepass game or it'd end up being a pretty expensive month.

It could be optimised to reduce dips below 30, they just didn't bother... Seriously, the game chugs along on XBSX.

AOE2 will be up 3am AEST for the Aussies in the comments.

Don't care at this point. They absolutely shouldn't get a million miles near whatever the next game in the franchise is though.

@Kaloudz I thought that as soon as MS bought Zenimax. The first new Wolfenstein was amazing and both Dooms are super well regarded (not played the second yet though). To me it shows that they "get" the franchises they work on and are capable of updating the games to feel modern whilst still feeling true to each franchise. Something Halo could use after all this time and what I think they were shooting for with Infinite.

They've also got that Deathloop/Redfall studio that are pretty talented. They're no Bungie or iD but at this point "not 343" is enough to make me more interested in Halo than I am atm.

Half right. The franchise should have been taken off the studio years ago. Well before they even started Infinite. That's pretty bad management.

Can't wait to be disappointed by yet another rare game...

Necessary for whom? What an absolute worm to say something like that.

@IronMan30 "Well yes, but what about second profits?" Pippen. Sorry, not Pippen. Scum bag corporate board members and investors.

The team that made a game that was doa and failed to make it work. Well with talent like that...

Obviously terrible to see anyone lose their jobs but if they're doing a cull the person with the title "Halo Infinite Senior Designer" probably shouldn't be surprised when he finds his head under the axe.

That said this kind of mass firing is gross. All so the company can put on a facade for shareholders. But how can we complain? As we all know, achieving larger returns than last year is the most important thing in the world. Throw newborns into volcanoes if you must. Society will crumble if investors don't get a substantial roi...

@teknium_ Ah, so something weird is going on. I saw people talking about it in the Stranded Deep comments and thought they were just repeating rumours.

It's funny as I've contemplated buying those recently on sale but held off. Hopefully they do get added.

Mortal Shell was added along with this in my Gamepass app but no Street Fighter or Diofield.

I'd like to see them make a traditional AC style game as well as the newer RPGesque style they're currently doing. Maybe do what COD does with seperate studios working on different games concurrently.

That's a shame, was looking forward to it. It's on the PlayStation service atm but the Gamepass one is listed as the GOTY edition do I'd rather wait to play that one.

Didn't realise Vampire Survivors was such a hit. It's so weirdly compelling.

Has a video game ever wiped $700b off a companies market value?

Unpacking is a great game for those that haven't played it.

No text size option means I still won't play it. It strains my eyes way too much.

Huge love for having Pirates! the article art. Adore that game.

NMS hands down. Don't even think it's arguable.

Any of it well written or interesting? Bethesda's writing gets weaker and weaker every game.

I tried it out because it sounded like a game I'd love but it all felt super clunky and cheap. Probably would have pushed through but the biggest issue for me was that there's no setting for text size. It's way too small for me. I'm not giving myself eye strain to play a game.

Looks right up my alley. No pre load as of yet though unfortunately.

Oh, awesome. Looking forward to it.

Doesn't seem like that much to me. Maybe for that game in particular as it's a couple of years old but they've got to make it worth the developers while to make their game free across multiple platforms (assuming it's on pc pass too) world wide.

MS is no doubt making money hand over fist from Gamepass too. $600k would be a tiny fraction of their monthly turnover from the service.

Either way it's safe to assume that the bean counters at MS know what they're doing.

Three Fields are a painfully mediocre studio. They've made how many games and they're still doing the "from the developers of Burnout" nonsense. Pretty telling they never cite any of the games the studio actually made.

@NEStalgia Oh, that's very consumer friendly than. Good on them.

It's a series that I think I like the idea of more than actually playing it if that makes sense. It didn't really grab me when I bit the bullet and tried the second one out though unfortunately. Same thing happened with MS Flight Sim as well.

It does look really great for those that are fans of trains though. It must be a lot of fun to get to operate different engines on different lines around the world if it's something you're into.

Man, they really pump these train sim games out. I feel sorry for anyone that bought dlc for the last game.

Who cares what that con man says about anything? I guess it's good that he doesn't want to enter the market though.

@Dezzy70 It's not an opinion, it's a definition. Yours is wrong and the other users is right.

I just started playing it. It's boring. Just opened up a new Forza area thingy and all the events are super dispersed. Half the game feels like wasted time driving from one event to the other with little more than an xp board here or there in between. That's pretty much the series as a whole but it feels like a lot more of a slog this time.

All the dialogue is painful too. Pure cringe.

So quick time event tag team sequences?

Wow. They managed to kill Skate 4 for me. Amazing.

Sounds like a great setting.

Am I the only one waiting for the Activision buy out to be completed so this comes to Gamepass?

I feel like including Starfield isn't fair.

Yes! Been waiting ages for this. Love the original.

So underwhelming. Really hope the xbox/Bethesda thing is more interesting.

That Meat Boy still has the OG soundtrack yeah? Worth a download just for that.

Companies are still making games cross platform with last gen. Also, can you even buy current gen consoles off the shelf yet?

I noticed 1 was delisted awhile ago but 2 has been up until now. That sucks.
