This news annoyed me this morning. I have dozens of movies purchased through the app and it's my preferred app for watching them. I'm not subscribed to a lot of streaming services and I like older films that aren't often streamed anyway. Several of my purchases can be accessed via Movies Anywhere, but not all. This kind of sucks.
When this game first came out, a friend came over and turned on a gameplay video and I thought it looked amazing. Then I learned it wasn't on Xbox and almost immediately forgot about it.
Now that it's available to me, my interest is piqued, but not so much that I won't simply wait for an inevitable sale.
@Kaloudz For my friends and I, F13 was the best and none of these other games come close to even replicating it. As recently as this week, I was nostalgic to run around Crystal Lake with them again.
I relish the new GWG announcements because they're often games I've never heard of, or have been on my radar for years. I have a crap-ton of games in my queue because of it, whose quality is all over the place. And that's fine with me.
How can we be certain a game is good if we don't have a truly crappy game to compare it to? What genres am I ignoring because of past biases? I understand these aren't truly "free" games, but I do pay $60 a year so I can game with my friends about once a month. These come with the package, and I would be remiss if I didn't give them a chance.
Despite common complaints, I usually find at least one title each month which looks entertaining. I remember watching videos of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet years ago, and now I get to try it. And Orcs Must Die sounds delightful.
Armello alone is worth having Games with Gold this month. This game is terrific and it stinks there isn't a larger fan base on Xbox. Now that it's free, here's hoping we get some new adventurers in the mix!

I'm sitting on 55K points so this is nice to hear.

@Jenkinss It's been running great on my Series X

Re: Another Major Xbox Game Pass Release For April 2025 Has Gone Gold
I only first heard of this game a couple months ago during the showcase, but it looked really interesting and has me kind of hyped.
Re: Sony's PS4 Exclusive 'Predator: Hunting Grounds' Is Finally Coming To Xbox
I watched my brother play this on PS4. It looked alright and he seemed to really enjoy it when he wasn't dying a lot.

Re: Talking Point: What June 2022 Xbox Games With Gold Do You Want?
@PastaBrian I just bought RDR2 for the first time, so I would be miffed. But I'll take RDR as a GWG offering!
Re: Talking Point: Do You Own Any Xbox Games You've Never Played?
Yes, I've purchased games I've yet to play. The technical term would be a "buttload".
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Includes A 'Mumble Mode' For Old Times' Sake
The only reason I don't like the voice acting is because the sound bytes are terrible. They're so tinny.

Despite common complaints, I usually find at least one title each month which looks entertaining. I remember watching videos of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet years ago, and now I get to try it. And Orcs Must Die sounds delightful.
I'm fine with the GWG selections, as usual.
Re: Here Are Your Xbox Games With Gold For November 2021
I love both the Kingdom games! The music alone is so peaceful.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Buying In The Xbox Summer Sale?
I picked up Hellblade and Dragon's Dogma and will probably get the Master Chief Collection, which will be my first foray into the series.
