Oh yes, PGR & RalliSport Challenge are my fave Xbox race games (own them all). Or a sequel to Blur & even Rumble Racing (PS2) was a good arcade racer.

@sikthvash Assassins Creed games have been given away free on console? I must have missed those? PS+ has some good additions, even though, I don't like them all.
Still, GP is keeping me busy enough for the time being! & 2023 will be a lot different too

@aj102404 Sadly no but the "tennis gameplay" can be very enjoyable. Switch to Pro mode & it can be addictive at times. Never lost a set & only a few games on that setting but you can try a lot of things that way. I personally like the fact you can hit balls with a very sharp angle. The effort of the dev was put in the animations & gameplay (although far from perfect). Not an Achievement hunter but they stack up easily. Grandslam are like 7 rounds of 3 sets (to win) but you can save during your game anytime & play something else.

Enjoying Matchpoint in SP since the MP is full of lag & "the system" doesn't really work well. Oh, and 3 setters in the French open in a game? A bit of a drag, really! That's almost 20 sets to end a grandslam final!

• Seasonal FH5 + jumping in & out FH3 HW DLC

Played the demo a lot on Pro mode & it can be very enjoyable if you like tennis. It's no TS4 but once you get used to the controls, the gameplay is ok. You can tell they had a tight budget & put their time/money on the right things & that's having fun in "playing tennis". No atmosphere & very bland/flat/almost non existent commentary, generic crowd, floating players, ...)
Had a weird online match though. My movement was slow (& a lot of lag; stuttering player + cursor missing a lot of times) while my opponent was quite fast. Also graphics quality dropped to ... worse! Played 3 in total & all had a low GS & played just 1 game (a lot of new players?)

If you’re playing on the couch people rather avoid wired controllers for obvious reason but know some people on Pc who don’t mind those, even have a wired mouse.
I like the design though & I wish that the big 3 implemented those backtriggers. I’m not always a big fan of the PS DS but I wouldn’t mind the DS technology on a Xbox controller. When done right it can add some immersion to the game (bad = gimmick).

Got the UE & HW Unleashed game & was rather sceptious so went back to FH3 HW & it is different but I rather saw something more creative from PG. Still, was trying to complete HW DLC from FH3 the other day & tend to do so too . Will be fun I'm sure!

Enjoyed Last Stop too 👍

Played some more missions & this game is big, MP big! Lots of paths, in & outs + a lot of good stuff really. The responsiveness of the buttons are so poor in picking up weapons & stuff, it doesn't immediately respond (like Uncharted) & it's buggy sometimes.

Edit: finished it and lowering the difficulty because of the lack of the buttons responsiveness in tight situations made it more enjoyable overall. 8 (!) achievements for the DLC (not free) is not a good either imo.

Started it today & already couldn't complete the objective because of a glitch. I call it the Beckendorf glitch! Anyone else? Had high hopes and I reminded me a bit of the MOH games but this game is so unpolished!

Loved RE4 on the GameCube & interested in the remake & VR so maybe the PS version is the one to get?

Still cross-gen and probably a lot of expensive DLC. Last month I bought the full Tekken 7 + all DLC for cheap & own almost every SF (except the last one). I liked the trailer though 👍

Keeping my expectations low for gameplay trailers but I’m kind of excited to see what GP titles we are going to get because of the delays of Starfield & Redfall.

Edit: plus what about Ubisoft on GP?

On the question in short:
I like to see how it plays out. Saying it’s in the best interest of the PS gamer? That’s a no, it’s in Sony’s interest. First party games make more money in their current system. I know several PS only player’s who would love to have a sort of GP sub for PS. The reality is they can’t afford that. MS had to do something bold but I’m not sure if this model will still work in 10 years when their studio’s are producing games on top tier level. Their war chest is not infinite. I’m not buying less games but play more games because of GP myself.

This game is fun FR 👍

Not a real surprise since we didn't have any gameplay stuff but I do hope this means that the game when released is polished as hell. Let us hope that we get to see some real surprises during the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase set for June 2022!
Also some big Game Pass releases we didn't expected to get!

I get to play PS God of War Ragnarok & some NS games so my wallet/backlog will be thankful. But if you're on Xbox only it's definitely not good news. They saw how people reacted to the whole Halo stuff & probably setting their overall software goals on 2023

@everynowandben Also Prey on PC for free on the Epic Games Store next Thursday

Looking forward to GP titles Trek to Yomi (really hope this is super good), Sniper Elite 5 and Pac-Man Museum+ (probably buy it if it's overall good (14 games?) + still love PAC-MAN Championship Edition DX 2)

Want to know more of:

Evil Dead: The Game (May 13)
Kao The Kangaroo (May 27)

Already owe Hydro Thunder Hurricane & Yoku’s Island Express (played VP) so maybe I'll check out The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk. Bought so many games during XBLA period & mostly played/owe the most Gold games. Happy for others but personally I would like an adjusted version of the Gold tier.

Yoku's Island Express really surprised me on the Switch (love pinball). IIRC I bought Hydro Thunder via XBLA. If you haven't bought/played them, it's a win for sure (via Gold you own them forever).

It’s all about choices imo. Let people decide whether they want a Gold game or a discount. Once you choose you can’t change for a year but you can save the discounts all true the year and be able to have a major discount at the end of that year.

I only want Tekken 7 with all the DLC but it’s a bit to steep for my taste.Own a lot of them and LN II I can recommend!

I was trying my "owned" 360 XBLA games and some are even asking to buy the full game while I already have the achievements unlocked. Weird that some games have a problem & others don't. I wish the overall experience of digital bought games would be "easier" because it's annoying.

Having missed a few few GT entries & favoured FM, GT is back, like in the old days back. GT1 vibes with huge memories. I like playing race games and GT has an unique vibe that makes it totally worth playing today. Circuit Superstars, Hotwheels Unleashed, Grid Legends, FM7, FH5, F1, Dirt 5, Project Cars 3, GT7, Horizon Chase Turbo Senna DLC, Rally Rush Origins & even RR3 on iPad, all have something unique imo (if you like race games). Playing GT7 with the DS is okay but not that remarable imo but the game gives me a whole blast from the past (sounds, replays, licenses, ...). It looks awesome! (Scapes are cool). You can only look forward to see the first gameplay of FM8 (+ new engine).

Lots of people still going for Gears? Loved the first two but got the Gears fatique (did buy 3). Make some new IP's (PD is not new but welcome since so long ago & it's not a Remake/Remaster). I'm a big fan of Uncharted but I was glad they made some other titles. I'm ready for another spin-off. Also want a new Tomb Raider. And a big wish is some awesome dev who could make a well balanced Superman game, before I die
The Coalition is top quality

Surprising since Sony ate them alive last generation, even buying a lot of timed exclusive games like Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo and also trying to get Starfield & keeping them off Xbox. Now MS is spending a lot of money and suddenly the rules have changed? So weird, even with the exclusive COD deals before ... Unless Sony is going to have to pay big bucks (more than usual) to get those multiplats or MS will try to turn COD into another great franchise but exclusive to Xbox? I wonder what their initial thoughts were when trying to obtain AB.

@AFCC The voice is Jen Taylor - Halo Series & Halo games, obviously !!
Everbody has an opnion & maybe she is not all perfect (even modelled after her) but when would it be? People saying she's not blue enough? Really? Same with Aloy ...

@AFCC How is Cortana looking terrible? It's actually her...

‘1000/1000 but it was a boring game’ OK, sill worth of his precious time, I guess?

Thanks for the € pricing 👍

One of my top 5 replayed games on Pc. Some games stood out more than today. So many good games nowadays.

Everyone said it, wow, just wow, + exciting until the end. I loved the first game but this is on another level. Can’t wait! Still some people can be negative. The overall look was awesome!

Perfect, they need to co-exist 👍 making each other better = a win for gamers!

Have had a lot of issues with FH4 + QR

I hope it's a kind of a reboot like Tomb Raider and without the current Ubisoft sauce ...

I. Would love the Tetris Connected one on the cloud

The only GTA money I will spend, is for the GTA6 🙂

Can’t wait but I really hope FH5 doesn’t inherit the little annoying things like no working rewind button, hanging saves, replaying seasons, AH problems, … and polished S7

The 2006 / Advanced War Fighter on 360, fond XL memories

I wish I could Smart Delivery my 360 version

@xMightyMatt14x I would give it an 6 out of 10, not bad but not overall good. There is some nice stuff to do so on that note I would recommend to try it. I played the PS4 version so I'm going to try the XSX verio myself and see if things got better. It is a huge download, had to make space for about 164GB (125GB game).

@sjbsixpack Going to wait too, got enough to play with GP alone. Need to complete The Artful Escape & Psychonauts 2

@sjbsixpack I was waiting for the physical PS5 release. On Game Pass? That would be crazy, ... again Or were you talking about Deathloop? (I had Kena in mind)

@sjbsixpack
Timed exclusive like Kena. Still wonder how much money Sony is/was willing to pay to keep games away from other platforms

Happened with free Diablo too. With a push of a button they made it not playable.

Bought the Special Editions from 2019 & 2020

I'm taking a break and saving some money to buy other stuff ...

@Luigi_Skywalker Yeah, didn't try it yet but had some fond memories on Wii's Trauma Center New Blood (Atlus). Was hoping for something similar ...

@Widey85 ID@Xbox released a demo months ago. First look was, funny, could work, but maybe not deep enough vibes. A bit like Tony Hawk (Bird )

@Widey85 I actually had a good time with Last Stop too. It just was something different, which was a good thing. I wiil look at this one as well ...

Forza horizon 5 & Halo Infinite

Super Monkey Ball on NS
