@Dan1283 Played LL in cloud for an hour or so and it stuttered once, no crash. All good from the download. Dig the artstyle, mix of stealth and turn based works okay. Worth having a look if you're into it. I'll play through it.
Just a couple levels left in Sea of Stars and then I want to see I'd I can properly get into Starfield. Looking forward to playing some F Zero 99 on Switch as well.
With Game Pass and PS Plus I've largely limited myself to those services instead of purchasing new games. Exception is 1st party nintendo like totk, mario wonder, etc. It's still too many games and not enough tome though.
Played some Starfield and will play more, but Sea of Stars is soooo good. It'll get my time for next few days until I reach the end. About 2/3 through.
All about Sea of Stars. Fantastic game. To highlight a point made by the devs - pacing is great. Zero grind and no task or enviro overstays it's welcome - always on to the next thing.
Agreed with all of the above. Tinykin is loads of fun. And much respect for Immortality - from concept, to content, to mechanics, super bit of game making here.
Use it to hit rewards with games I know I won't play further. Also use it on my laptop when traveling. The latter is hit and miss due to wifi strength wherever happen to be. I have received quite a few annoying 2-5 minute delay messages in last few weeks whereas never received them in previous year.
Watched a large part of my daughter's playthough, and it was cool for both of us. But after 'seeing' it, didn't feel the need to have a go myself. In other words, great looking and worth the time, but it's the tour of the environs that's the hook.
One guy's scenario. Had a Switch since launch. Wanted a next gen consol after being away from PS for 10 years. Couldn't get PS5. So bought S. First xbox ever with idea PS5 would come later. Purchased PS5. BUT introduced to xbox and love game pass. If there was no 'cheap' alternative would never have got sucked into Xbox environment. But didn't stop purchase of PS5.
Going to miss these comments every month. Seems like the community goes thru the 5 stages of grief each time gwg are announced- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance
I missed the fact that celeste was coming to Game Pass! Great excuse to have another go. One of my favorite platforms of all time. Looking forward to Sea of Stars as well.
May 2022. Purchased Series S. Had been Nintendo since NES. Tired of waiting for PS5 availability. Sorry X-box for lifers. Absolutely loving Game Pass and the whole modern gaming system thing.
Bad news. Bought a physical copy full price on Switch when it released and was not disappointed. Love the look and humor. Lot of potential as many have said for a new IP so of course Ubi trashed it. Heck, they tried their best to kill it with the whole name change thing before the game even launched. Just Ubi being Ubi.
I think I can speak for all the posters to follow. We are BEYOND excited. Like, "excited" doesn't begin to capture the emotion surrounding Game Pass Core.
Pretty excited about F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow I've wanted to give it a go since release on Switch, but waited for deep sale there. Now with better graphics on GP!
It was great to see the depth in Starfield. I guess that was the big surprise. Like that P5T is coming this November. Cool Neon White coming to Game Pass. Lot of 'nice'.
@UltimateOtaku91 I guess I didn't think to hope for Immortals 2, but would have been excellent. Here's hoping Ubi delivers - I'm into most of what they're selling here.
I've not played PoP, so I have no dog in that fight. But I dig side scrolling 2D Metroidvanias, and in that regard looked pretty good to me. Definitely a "like" here.
Penciling in some TOTK on Switch and MLB The Show 23 on X. both long term givens at this point. Picked up PS Extra for the first time. Playing Kena there and watching the daughter play Stray.
Looking forward to AC. A good Avatar game would be cool. Who knows if Ubi can deliver . . . But a new Rayman would be amazing! (I know, but a guy can hope!)

@somnambulance @GamingFan4Lyf That's the winner right there! Pitfall with some sweet Dolby audio. The rope swing?!?
Re: Xbox Boss Warns Of Potential Delays With ActiBlizz Titles On Game Pass
@Kaloudz My thoughts exactly. I'm sure it'll take a while to sort COD, but suspect we'll get some of the 'fun' stuff pretty quickly.

Haven't played Gris yet so nice add imo. And like many other, I've been looking forward to Sea of Stars

Re: Talking Point: What Would Convince You To Use Xbox Cloud Gaming More Often?
Use it to hit rewards with games I know I won't play further. Also use it on my laptop when traveling. The latter is hit and miss due to wifi strength wherever happen to be.

On xbox hope to close out F.I.S.T.. Definitely enjoying that one. One PS more Rogue Legacy 2 and Inscryption - both as good as advertised.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 24-25)
Looking at MLB23 and going to give NFS a go. Down the rabbit hole with Rogue Legacy 2 on PS. Gotta finish Red Fall and Ghost Wire at some point.
