@FarmDog08 same here. How far are you?

@Lup id loke to try that demo. Thanks. I was. I wonder if it will come to game pass? Wish the demo section was still sorted by newest first. Makes it hard to know when new demos release. Or impossible really.

@FarmDog08 FFIV is one of my faves too. It redefined everything and sort of invented the modern jrpg in a lot of ways.

Dragon Quest VII

From the pokemon devs and the 12 other cheap labor devs they outsourced to

It kinda just looks like rogue prince of Persia, not Castlevania.

@PressR2 super Mario bros ran at 60fps on the NES. Just depends what you’re doing.

It’s nice that it’s on game pass, I guess? But for $2.99…

I wish I cared about activision or blizzard. They were cool in the 90s. Well, blizzard was. Activision has always been a beast.

@Sol-idsnake huh? Who works for Xbox? Been reading this site for years and can’t remember anyone once saying they work for Microsoft.

That’s not good enough to get me to spend my precious time unfortunately.

Brigandine has my attention.

Castlevania might be homage or abomination. Konami doesn’t have the best track record. The last two 2D Castlevanias they made were bad.

Sure has been a lot of farm games on game pass.

Wanderstop is the one I want! Stanley parable dev

Obv gonna be ps, which is sad. It can’t be that much harder to just port it to both, can it?

I certainly have no plans to join the “next generation” or even get a switch 2 anytime soon.

Heck, one of the best times to get a ps5 is now. I’d have said the same about a series x if not for the price hikes.

I love the turn based ones. Always been kinda hit and miss with the action ones. I did rush through the gaiden before it left game pass

@Fiendish-Beaver you have very restrictive tastes my friend. 😆 I thought I did!

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. It definitely has my attention now.

@NicksyStixx12391 maybe, but what am I supposed to do about it? I’ve never had cramps from a controller before in my entire life, but the series controller gives them to me in 20 minutes. I’ve played almost every system since the Atari 2600 comfortably. It would be less of a hassle if they didn’t lock down the wireless architecture and make it impossible for 3rd parties to easily make their controllers compatible.

The xb1 controller was fine and was a better controller overall, just less features.

High on life 1 had games hidden in it? I think I missed them.

I enjoyed high on life, but it got a little long by the end, and I’m not itching to play the sequel necessarily. I’d like to, but there’s a lot I’d rather play.

Always fun when I buy a game day 1, don’t get around to playing it, and it’s cheaper a couple months later. I know I should never buy day 1, but it’s also nice to support what I love.

They keep adding stuff I don’t want and increasing the price. And making it more and more confusing. I should maybe just go to premium. If everything always comes to premium eventually, just not day1, then maybe that’s the one for me. I don’t always even care about day 1 stuff.

Why can’t we get the adventures of Elliott demo?? It’s still switch 2 only. Lame.

@fizban3332 the 3d lost a lot of the charm. I was happy to see sprite work. Either way it’s just a Saturn game from 1997! Not a new game.

The monster hunter stories games are great

Culdcept is awesome.

And adventures of Elliott will be day one for me. Wish more of these were on game pass

Menace is great. I wish it was on console.

Make it like the xb1 controller that didn’t give me hand cramps. I’m tired of using a wired 8bitdo.

Rechargeable battery and the rest would be nice too.

@DaPrince and my point is it’s not even that type of game. That’s like being mad at madden 26 because you can’t date the players.

I’ll definitely give yakuza a try. I prefer the turn based ones tho.

Already own ff2 but might play it anyway!

Not much for me this batch, but I’ll be busy with dragon quest anyway.

Would like to finally play kingdom come. But I suppose it being on game pass means it’s dlc will be full price instead of $5 for all of it.

Only dragon quest for me, it I don’t even have time to finish it In February I bet.

@Deadsea93 so you’re mad because you got hyped unrealistically? And because it wasn’t Skyrim?

I had a great time with it. Wish I’d waited til now to play it tho. They added stuff.

Not for everyone, if it’s for you, you’ll know about the time you see why they’re making you refill a bucket five times and their weird credits roll, if you weren’t already intrigued by the pixel interface, hallucinations, and weird falling minigame

Brilliant game

I wish more of these were on game pass. Death howl looks super cool. I’m also really interested in showgunners and Star Trek voyager (both of which have demos I’ve been meaning to try).

Yep, first time I’ve played it, and first time I’ve enjoyed a kojima game since Snatcher in like… 1995? 1996?

@FrenchVaniIIuxe respectfully, changing character outfits to make them work better as dolls and better in a modern game, is not censorship. We have gone from flat, small, 2D sprites to physical 3D objects. The old outfits would have looked weird and were frankly somewhat embarrassing in some cases (Aishe).

Jeez. That’s quite a spread. The lower scores give me a bit of pause and confusion.

This is going to be my entire February and maybe March too. We’ll see.

I’ll do it. I never really play on pc, except to get my daily PC check, tho, and I never use cloud!

Pretty good month for me. Gave it an A, and the big headliners didn’t really even influence me or lead to the A. February is looking good too.

Jeepers it gets cluttered with all the tiers. That said, I have indeed considered swapping down to premium; as long as everything gets to premium eventually, I don’t really need it day one… especially not the first party games (which I either don’t care about, or prefer to play a year later anyway).

I think this is the first month where I’ve ever wanted to play every single game. Except I’ll have to hope menace comes to console eventually. And I own ff2, but I’d still like to play it! At least indika is short.

Don’t have time with dragon quest 7 coming out!

@IronCrow86 that and “RPGs” coming out and turning out to be rpg-flavored character action games

@IronCrow86 my understanding is that it’s a true rpg. I’m hoping it’s less action oriented as well, but who knows! It’s made by veteran crpg devs. I wouldn’t worry about it being too similar to bioshock. I do worry about it being a disappointment tho 😂

Gross. Two opposite extremes, neither of which I’m interested in.

Drop Duchy is fun tho!

Are they gonna jack it back up to full price again once that happens? 😂 I swear it used to be $1.99 every other week.

@IronCrow86 are you thinking of the right game? Clockwork revolution has almost nothing in common with any bioshock. At least I hope not or I’ll be pretty disappointed!

Clockwork Revolution is the only one left I’m really interested in. But I’ll keep an open mind for fable

I’ve been meaning to play anno for years, and drop duchy looks cool too.

Looking forward to trying it out when I have time. I haven’t played the first but have meant to play them both for years.

Right— don’t much care about either game, but it’s not a trend you like to see. Plus, there are still a lot of other non-exclusive games that don’t come to Xbox, some of which I’d like to play.
