It's one thing Sony has always done better, and Xbox should implement, although it's probably a little late now. Getting a Platinum for a game is so much more satisfying than just racking up points. I had a fair number of games that I platted on PS, but on Xbox, I'm just kind of... 'meh'. I remember when they brought the points in, there was talk of them being worth something. But that never happened.
This is deeply disappointing. I came back to Horizon a while ago and realised I really didn't gel with it. I far prefer the 'sim-light' feel of Motorsport. To hear that this product has been dumped by MS is gutting. I thought Motosport was a game with a bright future. Yes it needed some tweaks, there were parts in there that were a mistake, but with some love, it could have been brilliant.
I let my GamePass sub lapse this year, and I won't be resubbing, and decisions like this are part of the reason why.
I got as far as "I need to go to the video store to return my copy of The Dark Crystal" and uninstalled it. I can't deal with that level of awful writing. We get it. It's the nineties.Tell Me Why was exactly the same, I don't get the hype, they're super clumsy.
This month is the first month since even Xbox Live was first launched that I've let my subscription lapse. This latest drop hasn't convinced me that I'm wrong.
I'm looking at the offering from Xbox, and instead of 'the greatest deal in gaming', all I see is a set of tiers that don't really serve me, and a bloated service stuffed with filler. I want day one releases - but I couldn't care less about Fortnite. I don't want the dog water Ubi+ sub, I'm not even that bothered about EA, to be honest. So, since the price increase, none of the tiers suits me.
Before I cancelled my sub, I had 50+ games installed on my Xbox - three of them were GamePass. Out of the last 42 GamePass releases, there were five that I thought were compelling, and I already owned two of them.
It's worth knowing that 'A Game About Digging A Hole' can be completed in under two hours, and once it's done, it's done. I have it on Steam, and my total playtime 119 minutes.
And, what the hell is a "soulslike deckbuilder"? That's just word soup.

Re: These Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (January 5-9)
Another week, another Kemco RPG Maker poop. Surely there'll be more Outbreak bundles. Didn't MS say they were going to stop those?
