Earning the 50 pts a day got in the way of playing none Game Pass Games. For the amount of time to earn the points it almost wasn't worth it, now it definitly isn't. Better ways of farming points than this achievement anyway. Looking forward to concentrating on Assassin's Creed Valhalla now that i purchased the other day.
@Lup Really? I found the graphics very poor, and unless there is a bug, half the townsfolk don't have no voice (only the odd giggle or so with just text for speech). I thought the whole game felt unfinished.
Edit
Also there is an issue where detailed textures don't get displayed for 1/2 second when changing camera view.
@Mephisto2869 It's currrenty at £50 (without the DLC). I was looking to buy it in the Black Friday deals but if it's coming to Game Pass for free then why would i do that?
With Starfield, Forza Motorsport and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 either on Game Pass (or coming to Game Pass), I now have my fingers crossed for Cyberpunk 2077
I can remember years ago, a 'friend' of mine showed me online gaming for the first time. He basically spent all that time being a d**k and ramming peoples cars in the first corner on purpose or turning around and racing the wrong way. He put me off online gaming forever.
It's only been 6 months since i got back into playing Xbox after a gap of 10+ years. I thought I'd kept up with gaming in general but i'd never heard of Bethesda, but OMG, every other game i seem to play/try is from them, I'm amazed.
This is what happens when you release a games that keeps crashing. The reviews are appalling. These are the first thing I look at before I decied to play.
With VRR TVs becoming more common I'm suprised there isn't a middle option for most games. I think 45fps (or there abouts) is a really good compromise for the series X
I enjoyed it while playing it. I'm ashamed to say i got stuck about half way through, and with no 'levels' or named areas finding the solution online was near impossible. A gave up looking and gave up on the game. Strange as i always try to complete a game but i've had no real interest at giving it a second go. 8/10
@pip_muzz Thanks. I installed again and did find the autosave. AOE defaults to starting the game again from the beginning but you have to quit the game and go back to he main menu. Originally I looked for the save while still 'playing' the beginning of the game and couldn't see any saves..
@pip_muzz With quick resume I've gotten out of the habbit of doing saves. I did unstall the game and then reinstalled the next day but all my progress was lost. I've moved on now.
I got stuck on Tribute campaign (couldn't work out how buy the settlements). I gave the game up. Shame as i was enjoying it up to then.
I've read a few people having the same issue.
As good as FO4 is (Which I'm currently playing at the moment) I don't want to start a game practacally the same but with different graphics.. After 2-3 months of FO4 i want something different.
@MaccaMUFC i have to say i tried this game, mainly for the easy points, but actually really enjoyed this game. I even carried on playing after i completed the game to complete some of the achievements which i don't usually do.
A Short Hike was a bit of a surprise. I started just for the points but in the end completed the game and made a good attempt at finishing off the extras. A chilled game.
Until i see the reviews the game i'm most interested in at the moment is Hades 2. I bought the original only a month ago while on sale, it deserves the top ratings.
Need a cheap controller with extra buttons for remapping. I detest press clicking the left of right sticks as run. I'm starting to unistall games that i find on game pass that does this.
Graphically, probably the best game I've played so far, 60fs would only make things better.
Absolutely stunning in places.
The game it's self i found to be too much 'trail and error' and gave up 2/3 the way through.

Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying Baldur's Gate 3 For Xbox Series X|S?
Where's the options for
1) I'll see what the reviews say first
2) I'll wait until they iron out all the bugs first.

@Kaloudz Just purchased RESIDENT EVIL 2 Deluxe Edition in the new sale, £8.99 !
Thanks for the heads up.
Re: Xbox Head Thanks Bethesda Veteran Pete Hines For His Services
@Kaloudz
Thanks.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla - waiting for Black Friady sales maybe. Odyssey and Origins were both great games.
Dead Rising 3 - never heard of but will check out.
Resident Evil 2 or 4 - Resident Evil 4 definitly, already have my eye on this.
Moonlighter - Never heard of but doesn't sould like my type of game.
Stardew Valley - Already played on mobile, good game.
Edit:
Dead Rising 3 = Probably not unless it's on GamePass. I have a series X and fussy with the graphics!
Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (October 19 - 31)

Re: After Just One Week, Paradox Is Already Admitting Defeat With The Lamplighters League
@XxEvilAshxX It's a ashame, I liked the look of this game and would have played it eventually. Now i'll never look at it twice.
Re: After Just One Week, Paradox Is Already Admitting Defeat With The Lamplighters League
For a fact, I do not play any games on day 1, never. Just becuase of all the bugs. I'll easy wait for a couple of months.
