Whenever I hear AAA, I think tepid garbage that tries to appeal to everyone in its watered-down gameplay design and graphically overpriced style, while pleasing no one.

I want games with lower budgets, worse graphics, and more creativity that isn't watered down to appeal to "everyone". AAA graphics and the idea that a game needs to sell 10 million copies to break even are killing the industry.

The Sierra games are great. I just wish the console had keyboard and mouse support. It doesn't run on my PC (black screen).

Kind of sad to delay a mostly-digital release just for physical stuff, but I guess they have no choice.

Either way, I'll be happy to see it whenever it comes out.

Agreed on Lost Odyssey. I wonder why he didn't mention Shadowrun with the other FASA stuff. I guess the recent Shadowrun stuff wasn't first-party, but Microsoft still owns console rights.

Shocked to be somewhat interested in all of these, but I wish they were on console too. My PC is not what it used to be.

@Kaloudz I mean it's a turn-based RPG with a storyline and rock/paper/scissors combat that is way more compelling than it sounds. I really loved the demo but never took the plunge. I will on Xbox (although I might wait until it's not $5 more than the PS and Switch versions, cause wtf)

Kind of a kick in the crotch considering it’s $29.99 on switch and PlayStation. We have to wait years and then also have to pay $5 more? Wtf.

Been waiting for this for ages

I hope they don’t wreck it.

@Kaloudz yeah but the gameplay is completely different. I loved the demo for 2. I’m not a big fan of the normal monster hunter games tho.

Took so long they should just put them on game pass at this point. I still want to play them tho!

@FrenchVaniIIuxe it’s refined, not censored. The original ps1 translation was bad. They refined the war of the lions script and expanded upon it. So yes, it’s changed.

I will never understand why people insist on a game needing to include every single burp and fart and feature from every edition of a game in order for it to be “definitive”. Sometimes leaving things out is the best choice. War of the Lions didn’t have annything extra that we need.

It’s crazy they’re still fixing this game two years on. They never fixed the weird audio lag either.

I did play through the whole game twice tho, and would like to make a third run eventually.

I want them to announce their next turn based game. I’m tired of all the action games.

Like hearing about marvel movies selling well… keep churning out the mindless money makers

I slept on this, expecting a crap deal, but there are a ton of games I want on here, and it is actually a good deal.

Why isn't this on their website so I can shop there? It's clunky on the console.

Dang I just bought hades

I’ve idly considered getting an S for my friends house so I can log in to game pass there. I spend more of my free time there than home, and it would be nice to play some stuff!

@WildConcept6 I’m just mad because I lost $10!

Too bad the money you buy with points expires in 90 days! I lost $10 because of that. But I guess I’ll spend my 90,000 rewards points and go on a spending spree

@Valhura you prefer asleep trash?

It feels more like god of war than an rpg

I don’t want anything. I played it year 1 for 150, finished it, and I’m done. It’s a single player offline game. I don’t want it to be Minecraft or Fortnite.

They’re smart to sell it cheap when they know they’ll sell a billion copies.

I don’t know if I’ll play it. I wasn’t really about the first one, and I’m kind of burned out on metroidvania.

@Markatron84 That's okay! I can wait! Honestly, if it's that awesome (which I actually have no doubt it is), I should probably just skip the demo and buy the damn thing as soon as it's out. I liked Shovel Knight (and spent way too much backing it and buying it multiple times), but I think I'll like Mina even more.

This series got tired before the first game and all its DLC even ended.

@Markatron84 Yeah that's me too, and if I know I'm gonna play a game, I don't bother with the demo (unless it's different from the game... or I want a head start and it carries over, which usually I don't care about). Is the Mina demo on there yet?? I saw a ton of demos but didn't see that one.

They didn’t really finish or polish the last zone much, so I was kind of expecting this to be similarly unpolished. Rome and Giza were great. The rest was kinda jank.

Mina the Hollower looks badass

Weak month for me personally

I want to see Japanese games.

@AlwaysPlaying yeah. I’d like to try it out. A lot of people are interested in video game history.

@johndoe89 Gen Z is interested in the NES and Game Boy; both of those are pre-16-bit. Even Gen alpha is interested. It just depends on the game and system. For some of these tho, yeah, the gap is a little too wide.

Do they actually work with the controller, or do you end up needing a keyboard?

I enjoyed the game, but it got buggier and less well designed as it went. Not sure I feel like returning for dlc. But we’ll see. Curious what reviews will say too.

DLC for game pass stuff doesn’t usually go on sale.

It’s been delayed before too. I don’t mind. The demo was great, and I think the previous delay was used to make the game better.

I can certainly understand their frustration. For me, I don’t know if I’ll even play silksong, but I’ll definitely play demon school.

I enjoyed my 150 hours with it when it came out, but it’s not like I kept playing it after it was over… I don’t usually go back to games.

Kind of wish I’d just waited. But, I had a great time!

@themightyant it’s Xbox, and PlayStation before that, that reversed it… in playstations case they literally reversed. It was supposed to be O (true/“maru”) for confirm and X (false/“batsu”) for cancel. Yet here with are with X being accept.

I agree it’s annoying that they’re not all just the same though. But Xbox was just following PlayStations lead. And Nintendo has kept it traditional.

Ugh. I wish someone would make a wireless option that’s good and has a budget price.

Triangle Strategy should be game pass at this point

I see I’m not missing much unless they announce ff tactics for game pass.

A person can always charge their own batteries, altho I’d prefer usb charging built in.

More importantly, I hope it isn’t so damn clicky next time, and I hope it doesn’t give my right hand a cramp after 30 minutes. It was a real step back from the xb1 controller.

Would be nice to get a 3rd party wireless pad that doesn’t cost more than the 1st party one…

@Balaam_ yeah some of their headlines make things sound exclusive to game pass, or to Xbox, when they’re not. I get that this is a console specific website but it’s still kind of jarring.

2026: stalker 2 at 100%
Also 2026?: stalker 2 leaves game pass

Colonels Bequest is great. I’m happy to see Microsoft doing something with their properties instead of sitting on them.

I do wish they somehow allowed them to be played locally. But if you have decent and unlimited internet, most stuff works ok.

Some of their choices are a little weird.

Yuck. I hope she gets Tyson foods to implement some ethics.

Two games that were already on there 😆

About what I expected
