Probably the most over rated game I've ever played, as compared to the reviews I've seen.
The controls are horrible too.

I tried, i tried so hard to like this game after buying it but it too slow.
I never felt like I was solving puzzles, rather than just going through all the choice options and then being told where to go to next to talk to.
Tried 3 times.

I was put off by NPCs asking if I wanted to join their faction within 30mins of starting playing, no lead up, no history, no missions before they could trust me. I felt the game was throwing it's self at me and I just wanted to take my time.

@themightyant
To be fair I take it back, most of the games I played before so forgot about them. SW: Outlaws, Death Stranding & Re: Village all standout games but already played. Warhammer 40K SM2 my mind had put into this month. Agreed a good month.

@ZeD
Feb is a good month but Jan wasn't great (Dec either).

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, wasn't there supposed to be a next gen update for this game too?

@G1lbo
I'm the other way, because I know i'm committing to a game, I don't mind how long it takes, as long as it's fun. 40-50hrs i don't mind. I recently played Lost Judgment and spent 70hrs on that.

@Daffy-Duck
In regards to Daffys comments, I'd be intersted to know how many people can play 2, 3 or 4 games at the same time? Games are so complicated these days, if i started playing another game i would forgot how to play the other one.
Maybe it's my age, I came from a time you had one button, which either made you jump or fire, depending on the game!

Graphically is looks fantastic on the XSX but gameplay is very samey samey. I gave it 7/10 but think i should have give 6/10.
Even the environments look the same.

That is a lot of fixes!

i played and finished this when it came out and didn't notice any issues.

Out of interest, is this new update just a new lick of paint/60fps or have they done any QOL changes? Have they added anything?

I stacked for 2 years via Loaded (old CDKeys). I went for 2 years in case it went up again. For what I paid, it works out to about £13 month.

@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks, I have put both DL2 and Hell Is Us on my wishlist.

Can anyone recommend Dying Light 2: Stay Human?
I loved the first one but the second one appeared to have a lot of bugs when first released. I know they have updated alot, is this game now in a playable state without mission breaking bugs? this game appears to be a game you either love or hate and some reviews have stopped me buying in the past.

Sctaching my head as to why those minor fixes is a 22gb download.

Play it, play it , play it!!

If you haven't played Hades yet then I thoroughly encourage you to try it.

You made a mistake, that is just a picture not a dynamic background.

@Ricky-Spanish Coming from the PS1, the Dreamcast was a fantastic machine. Playing Soul Calibur was as good as playing in the arcade. Although I never played online the DC also introducted me to the internet.
The tamagotchi type memory card was an brilliant (if under used) idea. The downfall being the memory card twice corrupted. The second time being far into a Resident evil 2. I was not a happy person.

Fav games incl
Craxy taxi, Soul Calibur, Soul Reaver, Chu Chu Rocket, Fur Fighters, Dead or Alive 2, Ready 2 Rumble, too many (and too old to remember many more).

Sounds like a poor choice for a remake. Should have spent the time/money making Shenmue 4 by the sounds of it.

I've never played any of the Shenmue games (even though i had a Dreamcast), do they play anything simalr to the Yakuza games?

I'm no programmer, and only watching the attached clip, but I'm sure my smartphone (if not my smart watch) could achieve achieve exactly the same result.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Exactly - I made it an hour before I gave up due to lack of game. Never understood the term 'walking sim' until I played this game.

Wireless controller, back buttons, hall effect stocks, long play time, under £100, this is the first 3rd party controller i'm genuinely interested in.

I remember at the time playing and thinking the game was pretty good.
After watching the trailer and not remembering anything about it, nothing, i guess it was under whelming on second thoughts.

"You’ll probably end up using swear words you didn’t even realize you knew, but if you can stomach the difficulty" - No thankyou, games are meant to be fun.

@munstahunta Yes, this type of games needs a hardness setting '50 y/o with the reactions of a dead mouse'.

I only finished Subnautica last month, i enjoyed it. It's the only 'survival' I completed, or wanted to. Looking forward to number 2.

I just hope they have improved the draw distance for the second game, the 1st one, for a series X game was pretty bad.

I've been looking at both them games for a while on android phone, but the really high cost (£30 for a mobile game) put me off. Now I get to play superior versions for free. Thank you gamepass.

I'll give it ago again but I don't remember not really liking the original. Too much hiding behind things just seemed not to gel with me.

Why do i feel i've tried Rise of the Tomb Raider not long ago on GamePass? I will download tonight to see if there are any game saves already.

I hope this is good, I'm REALLY looking forward to playing the campaign.

Looks better for sure, but enough to replay through again.

With Next Gen hardward due out around the same time as the game release i would expect they aim for that to solve any game performance issues.
I would expect them to start to concentrate on new hardware well before they finish the game.
I wouldn't be surprises if the XSX version runs at only 30fps.

I've been putting off buying the BioShock Collection as there are lots of reports of crashing on the XSX.
A full remaster of the collection would do me fine.

I wonder how Microsoft decide what/how the developers get paid per user.
I personally couldn't get into it and stop playing within a 3-4 hours.

Thanks, not ready to do this yet but will save the page.

I see Farcry 3 is on sale, can anyone recommend playing that on a series X ?

TMNT: Mutants Unleashed doesn't look like a 2024 series x game.
is it a remake?

@jesse_dylan Was 20 of those hours trying to defeat the final boss??

I assume that screen shot of Far cry information is from a website? Does anyone know the site.
I always wondered how to find when the latest bug fixes came out and what was covered.
I see complaints of game bugs/crashes on reviews on microsoft store and wondered if they had fixed the issue since.

4-5 months ago I felt I had nothing to play but the last couple of months have been outstanding for Gamepass games, my drive is almost full with a huge backlog.

Couldn't they just chnage the age rating of the game? Plenty of nudity in other games, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, etc.

I know Far Cry games get a bit of stick but I enjoy them. I'm looking forward to this much more than GTA.

The incredible backgrouds i get on my phone have zero impact on performance and with a lot less power.

I was looking foward to this but the apparent high difficulty/frustration level has put me off.

Not many new faces on that list.

@Th3_Highlander What inputs do you use for searching?
I usally start from choosing 3 random letters, search and then add anther random letter to search again. Repeat, etc

It be good if peole stated where they come from when they answer this, microsoft has different rules for different areas.
Personally i'm the UK i've had to issues (yet).
