@Tintin I believe you can use mouse and keyboard of you want for this game. Can't wait to play this again. Are all the original DLC included with this enhanced version?
I keep reading that it's been a terrible year, but I've been playing games non stop on gamepass and loving every minute of it. I guess it's because I usually enjoy indies more than AAA. Saying that, I can't wait for starfield.
Thinking about picking up rimworld with 20% off, but with so many games to play at the moment, it'll probably be cheaper still by the time I get around to playing it.
@BBB crossplay had killed FPS games for me. If the option to turn it off is not in the game menu, then people don't do it through Xbox settings, so there are no games available. Worst thing by far about this generation.
@Clankylad that sounds exactly like what happened to me, same year as well. I thought I was getting an Atari for Christmas, but my dad cheaped out and bought me a Phillips g7000 videopac instead and insisted it was the same as the Atari but cheaper. I was devastated.
Football manager works great on a tablet via cloud, the touch controls aren't the usual virtual controller, but proper touch where you just hit the place on the screen. This will be my new default game whilst at work.
The UI in the menu screens is awful on Xbox, it said press L for most options, which doesn't work. I can play games but can't look at the challenges etc. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon in a patch.
@Awp69 and @BBB I'm interested in the Shadowrun trilogy games, do you need to play them in a certain order and of not which is the best one to play? Thanks
@Olimbox Thanks for that, had my series X for 6 months and didn't know about this. I'm now lying in bed playing life is strange on my Chromebook with no buffering. Cheers
@Would_you_kindly Exactly the same here, everybody raved so much about the series that I couldn't wait. Played about 4 hours of the first game and it bored me stupid.
I was really looking forward to mass effect, but after putting in about 10 hours play, I'm really not enjoying it despite all the hype. I've spent much more time this month on besiege which i'd never heard of, but am really enjoying.

Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (January 25 - February 7)
@Jenkinns I might try darkest dungeon again, couldn't get into it last time, which I thought I would because I love slay the spire so much.
Any tips?

@Beermonkey I'm not a stoner either, obviously I'm also a child stock in a 52 year old body.
Loving this game
Re: Review: High On Life - Bland Shooting Action Meets Stoner Humour That's An Acquired Taste
Couldn't disagree more with this review. Loving the game so far and not just for the comedy.
Re: Xbox Winter Demo Event 2022 Announced, Will Feature 20+ Games
Inkluminati and tin hearts look really interesting. Probably a bad week to have these demos though as gamepass looks fantastic next week.

Enjoying it, maps have really improved.
Portal has some great games on it
Re: Review: Battlefield 2042 - DICE's Latest Shooter Joins Xbox Game Pass
@BBB Thanks didn't realise that. Hopefully, gamepass will add plenty of console players. Probably not on Aussie servers for me though.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass Ultimate During Season 3
Hopefully gamepass will bring enough players in to get some decent portal game matches.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (November 8)
Football manager works great on a tablet via cloud, the touch controls aren't the usual virtual controller, but proper touch where you just hit the place on the screen.
This will be my new default game whilst at work.
Re: Minecraft Legends Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass In Spring 2023
I've still got no idea what this game is. What's the point of making a pretty trailer, if it doesn't even tell you anything about the game
Re: Humankind's Xbox Version Suffers Setback, No Longer Hitting Game Pass In November

Re: Fall Guys Is Now Available On Xbox, And You Can Play It For Free
The UI in the menu screens is awful on Xbox, it said press L for most options, which doesn't work. I can play games but can't look at the challenges etc.
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon in a patch.

Re: Two More Games Announced For PC Game Pass With June & July Dates

Re: Soapbox: Remote Play Is One Of Xbox's Most Underrated Features
@Olimbox Thanks for that, had my series X for 6 months and didn't know about this. I'm now lying in bed playing life is strange on my Chromebook with no buffering.
Cheers
Re: Soapbox: Remote Play Is One Of Xbox's Most Underrated Features
How do you start remote play? I play using the cloud through the gamepass app. But can't see a way to remote play.
Re: Another Six Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass Soon (April 11-18)
@Would_you_kindly
Exactly the same here, everybody raved so much about the series that I couldn't wait. Played about 4 hours of the first game and it bored me stupid.
Re: The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe Finally Arrives On Xbox This April
It would definitely go down well on gamepass, not sure I'd put money down on it without a trial or demo
Re: Crusader Kings 3 Is Available Today On Xbox Game Pass (March 29)

Conquest Kings for me, need more strategy games on Xbox
Re: Pick One: What Was The Best Xbox Game Pass Addition In February?
I was really looking forward to mass effect, but after putting in about 10 hours play, I'm really not enjoying it despite all the hype.
I've spent much more time this month on besiege which i'd never heard of, but am really enjoying.

Really looking forward to this game, miss deep strategy games the better
Re: Review: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction - Solid Extra-Terrestrial Siege Shenanigans

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Hitman Trilogy Games Is Your Favourite?
@JayJ thanks, I've never played any and was going to start with the first but now I might go straight to 3
Re: Halo Infinite Dataminers Appear To Uncover Various New Multiplayer Modes
I'd be more interested in a region select box so I'm not playing most games with a 200+ ping.
How hard can that be to implement.
Re: The Relaxing 'Lake' Is Getting A Lot Of Attention On Xbox Game Pass
The premise doesn't really excite me, but I did find firewatch surprisingly good so might be worth a try.
Re: Xbox Adds Touch Controls To Ten More Games With Cloud Gaming
@Trmn8r yes agree, dicey dungeons is a perfect example
