Add an option to remove the motion sickness inducing head bob and I would be able to play it for more than 5 minutes!

The AA batteries are the best thing about the Xbox controllers! If they change something then let’s have better rumble like Switch and PS5 - that’s the one area in which it falls short of the competition…

Smart Delivery is the reason I barely own any Xbox games this generation - PS5 games have current gen on disc whereas the Xbox version usually has just last gen.

I don’t like that it’s online only, but I would still buy it if they would include a single player option for races.

Very weak month for me. Only one I enjoyed was Rematch, but with it being online only aside from tutorials/training I didn’t play it for long.

The first Lost In Random was kinda interesting so I was looking forward to trying what I had assumed was a sequel, but was disappointed to find it was just a Hades clone.

It’s great! I’ll buy it if they add a single-player/offline option.

I was disappointed with this sequel. I think the move to third person was a bad call and it didn’t feel good or fun to play.

I didn’t enjoy the game so I didn’t recommend it or buy it or buy the DLC. But I do do some or all of these things with the Game Pass games I enjoyed (including this game’s predecessor which I bought after trying it with Game Pass).

KT made some great WRC games, especially from 8 onwards, so I hope they will be the developers (just once they have added single player races to TDUSC 🤞).

Atomfall has been my Game Pass addition of the year so far. I am glad it has done well for them!

@NishimuraX

I didn’t say it was, although I can imagine it being a 10 for some. I’m sure there would be people that would say the same thing about the games I score a 10.

And yes I imagine some folks vote 10 to boost an average (although is an average actually calculated here?) and similarly some voting 1/10 might have a similar aim.

Glad to hear the bug has been fixed. Looking forward to getting back into this!

Btw… at 28%, 8/10 has not received the majority of the votes, it’s just the most popular option.

However, you could say that the majority of the votes were for 8/10 or higher (54% at present).

I am still hoping they add a smooth movement option to address motion sickness. Looks like this time they’ve added an option to make it worse (so at least they are aware of the problem I guess).

I heard the combat wasn’t so great so I dialled down the survival and combat difficulty (leaving exploration on challenging with just the compass to maintain immersion) and I’m having a blast with it. However, as others have said, sometimes the sound just stops working, so I will bench it and wait for a patch. Still, the best GP addition this year so far for me!

I was looking forward to this, to have some events and objectives and so on, but it takes too long to load, and once you are finally in it seems you have to do loads of tutorials and tests before you can get anywhere close to doing the exciting looking missions from the trailers. Beautiful graphics but I won’t go back to it unless there’s a ‘quick play’ way to access the fun bits.

Still need more than two groups on the homepage. It’s still two more than PS5 and Switch though. All the platform holders want us to forget about any games we didn’t launch recently so we’ll buy new ones.

The one that includes Daytona 2, of course!

Fantastic news!

Still want to play The Crew 1 again though; it’s the best one imo!

P.S. The Crew 2 is currently discounted to $1 / 80p

Shenmue 2
Outcast: A New Beginning
GTA 4

I’ve actually only played the demo of A New Beginning, but I loved Second Contact and I think it would be good to have a fresh game in the mix.

@Arcticpandapopz Rotastic is a lot of fun, similar to the now delisted Carneyvale Showtime.

XBLA games have trials so you can try before you buy so no need to waste any pennies 😅

I’m definitely going to pick up Fireburst at that price 😀

It was much better when we could have more than two groups on the home page, and we didn’t have to scroll past an extra ad group to get to them.

I would like to see them add the Skylanders games, but patched so you can play without the toys/portal. This would be great for newcomers and those that have declutterred. They could still support the portal for those that have kept their already levelled up toys.

Test Drive: Eve Of Destruction

It’s still a firm favourite in our household - would love a new one though!

And how will I continue to access my save file and progress in The Crew when you have turned off the servers?

GTA 4, Bioshock and Portal 1&2 are all strong contenders, but it’s Deadly Premonition at #1 for me!

Jusant - 4 points

The Heat Is Back!!
: D

I went straight to the arcade and I have been playing Daytona 2 ever since. 10/10.

@Cashews Switch is slightly better than Xbox now in terms of number of inputs required to get to groups, but I preferred just scrolling down to my groups on the previous Xbox home screen. Xbox also lets me customise the guide, choose the colour scheme (beyond just black or white) and have a wallpaper background.

I have my games carefully organised into 10 groups. The home screen is now useless beyond the recent row at the top, and so I’m having to get into the habit of navigating to groups within my games and apps now. The customisable home screen was the best thing about Xbox compared to the other platforms, but not any more 🤮
