Kingdom Come for less than a pint is outrageous. Yes, it is kind of a pain to play, but it is such a great game when you are settled into its rhythm. Worth a try for anyone at that price.
Until we see something on this gen of consoles that GENUINELY couldn't be done on the last gen (and not just a largely last gen game with a higher frame rate and resolution) then I genuinely don't care. I remember playing SSX on the PS2 and being floored. There was no way that could ever have been achieved original PSOne. Same thing when I played the original Ridge Racer. Those were generational leaps you could get excited about. A genuinely new experience. My favourite game of this gen is the Witcher 3. Same as my favourite game of last gen but with a (admittedly very nice) lick of paint.
Botany Manor is exactly the kind of thing I like to try on Gamepass - something that, on paper, is really not my kind of thing but gets good reviews and isn't a huge time commitment. I've played some gems that I would never have played that way, thanks to Gamepass.
Ooh shadow of the tomb raider is the only one of the 'new' trilogy I'm yet to do so that will do me for the rest of the month probably (along with mopping up some other stuff).
This game has gone from being utterly devoid of content at launch to now being overwhelmingly content rich. It's a great game but I can also imagine it being near impenetrable for a newcomer.
Not complaining mind. It's a fantastic game and Hello Games have done themselves proud.
Well, I could act like most of the commenters here and make out as if the sky is falling or I could go and download one the many games on my Play Later list on Gamepass and actually play some videogames. Honestly, this stuff is so unimportant unless you immerse yourself in it.
Yawn. Too busy with playing games to worry about this kind of thing. If Xbox and Gamepass is still a thing in the future then great, if not then I'll play on something else. Honestly, if someone didn't spend anytime on social media (which is a great idea for anyone, let's be honest) then all this 'controversy' wouldn't even register on your radar.
Don't buy many games anymore due to Gamepass (Hogwarts Legacy was the last one) but this is one of them. Sucker for Star Wars and always will be. Hopefully it'll be a detailed world with decent gunplay and exploration. Looks good so far so hopes are high.
@Tasuki unfortunately I have to agree. It was just missing 'something' and I couldn't persevere with it. This is a bit weird, but the thing I enjoyed the most was exploring the Hollywood style mansions and thinking how cool it would be to have a house like that....
Too much to play on Game pass to pay full price for games these days. Definitely one I'll play at some point in the future. Baldur's Gate 3 is first though.....
SSX3 representing the OG Box brilliantly. At 4K and 60fps (or is it 120?) it looks brilliant - and not brilliant for an Xbox game, just brilliant full stop. And there are very, very few games from that era that play as well. It hasn't aged a day, and is one of a very small number of games I would describe as being nigh on perfect. I honestly can't recommend it enough. Seriously - give it a go and you'll be staggered that a 20 year old can look and play that well.

Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In May 2024
Had Sniper Elite 5 on my watch list for a while. Good excuse to actually get it downloaded.

Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In April 2024
Nothing for me in this round but fine by me. Have no chance of getting through the Gamepass backlog as it is!
