XBOX GamePass ~*OT*~ best service, best console (now with EA Play)

[brawndolicious]

Can anyone recommend some linear shooter campaigns on GamePass? Rage 2 has some of the most fun shooting ever but it’s wrapped in so many layers of pointless map icons and audio logs that it’s strictly a podcast game

Halo and Gears will be good and probably Crackdown 3, Black, Doom Eternal, and Wolfenstein: Young Blood but I haven't played those last four. I would have recommended BF1/5 from the EA library but Dice decided to go wild with stupid stealth missions that don't work well. The other half of the campaigns are pretty fun in a mindless big war action way.

Quantum Break is a good story driven 3rd person shooter with a striaghtforward, self-contained campaign. No multiplayer, no GaaS, no DLC, no bullshit

All those are real good except for Young Blood. That game is hog shit and I was disgusted by how terrible it was. Fuck that game. This was clearly not the A-team working on it.

Actual footage of me after reading that Control is rumored to be coming to gamepass this month:

[Ghoul]

Apparently 343 are adding a BR to Halo, maybe get the game to a functional and well polished state before you try doing other things? Can see this game not coming until 2022 at this rate.

You after playing Control on GamePass:

[Don Rumata]

Indeed, you do need to have a child's brain, to not appreciate Control. 

[kingv]

I didn’t finish control yet... I wonder if the ultimate edition will read the regular edition saves (probably not)

[Lonewulfeus]

Greedfall fuck yea!  Also in for DQ11, control, and maybe Monster Sanctuary.  Fantastic month

[Joe Molotov]

The real reward this month: 3 Months of Discord Nitro

Can't wait to troll with animated emotes from other servers again. :PogChamp

oh nvm, it's new to Nitro accounts only. Very antipog of you, Microsoft.

[The Sceneman]

aww yeah Control on the 3rd

Call of the Sea looks kinda cool

[Bebpo]

Also EA Play should arrive on PC sometime in December. So Jedi Order as well. Good stuff.

[Beezy]

I learned today that if your XBL account is linked with someone else's, you also share GamePass. My sub ran out last month, but my nephew recently re-upped his and I'm still able to download and play GamePass games. This might be old news, but I had no idea.

[Stro]

Def gonna cash in some bing rewards points this month to play Doom and some shitty Star Wars games

[MMaRsu]

Also EA Play should arrive on PC sometime in December. So Jedi Order as well. Good stuff.

You know if you auto redeem bing rewards you get the $10 certificates for cheaper, right?

[Philip Cardgage]

Well Call of the Sea seems like a technical dud. Looks like they silently cut ray tracing too.

PASS.

Damnit I was just dling it

[MMaRsu]

Also why isnt Minecraft 10 with RTX on gamepass?

 

[Pissy F Benny]

Why would you want to play minecraft, are you 5 years old

[Philip Cardgage]

I'm guessing RT on the series X is a bit hard to do. And yet, the dummies at Ubi were able to pull it off.

[Supermanisdead]

this naruto boruto game fucking sucks lmao.

[Svejk]

There's a reason it's called GamePass.

Uninstalled Call of the Sea after 20 minutes. Hello my name is Lady Expository Dialogue

Hi Lady Expository Dialogue, I'm Dad


 

[demi]

[Bebpo]

Honestly kind of boring lineup after the big recent hits like Doom and DQXI.

I guess I'll try Medan.
Wish Code Vein was PC. I guess the issue with a lot of these is there's no windows store version, only Steam and Bamco isn't going to put the time in to port it between stores.

[Don Rumata]

Uninstalled Call of the Sea after 20 minutes. Hello my name is Lady Expository Dialogue

You weren't kidding holy shit.

[thetylerrob]

I’m excited to play shitty Man of Medan with my grill.

[HardcoreRetro]

Man, I'm excited to play this now. Sounds like a massive piece of crap.

Literally in the first 3 minutes, she starts awkwardly describing everything, like a mad woman.
"Oh no, i've had that bad dream again, that i've been having ever since my husband died in the mysterious train wreck after he started his research on the lost city of Atlantis which was also his childhood dream as revealed to me by that old lady at the fair when i was a child myself, right after my dad left me and my mother!"

I can understand being overly-descriptive when you examine things around the room, it's kind of like PS1 survival horrors, classic p&c adventures or even RPG were, but you could try to be a tad elegant about it.

[Rufus]

Reminds me of the Gothic remake alpha.

[Trent Dole]

Oh shiii Code Vein, been waiting for that to dip into the $20 range but I'll take it on GP. When're we getting Sekiro?

[Stro]

EA Play on PC got moved to next year

Not even a date or anything. Just "2021".

[The Sceneman]

Yeah I clicked out of the Call of the Sea game intro  as soon as I heard the Cthulu(sp?) crap. Im so done with that nerd shit. Maybe I should read the books. Alone in the Dark was baller in 1992. Lovecraft was prob innovative? Who cares. Build your own personailty and interests please. I wanna see dinosaurs playing basketball or something

Been done.

But i agree Lovecraft is overused, especially in this space.

Game Pass January update is pretty unless you really have a boner for futbol.

[demi]

We could play Torchlight

[Stro]

They really just not going to mention EA Play for PC again or what

[Joe Molotov]

And PES 2021 is just a transfer update for PES 2020 without any gameplay improvements so lmao at that

if ur serious text me i will carry you in my bosom

[Nintex]

I'm consistently seeing EA Games chart on Steam so I don't think EA is ready to shoot themselves in the dick yet 

[Don Rumata]

Kinda curious about Edith Finch.

[The Sceneman]

Its a good walking simulator. Its decently written and the artwork/level modeling is great - feels higher budget than it is. Its a little artsy without being too pretentious - a hard balance to strike. It's not too long either. I'd recommend it, especially at zero oppurtunity cost

[Sho Nuff]

Injustice 2 has REALLY REALLY NICE cutscenes

[The Sceneman]

Hades rumored for gamepass. Huge if true

After I bought it on Switch...

[Bebpo]

Game Pass seems pretty light this month. Guess they went overkill during the holidays.

[Sho Nuff]

Fallen Order got a native XSX/XSS patch. Looks fuckin awesome

[Philip Cardgage]

I can't really see the difference. And I'm on version 1.0.12.

Microsoft Rewards is doing a 10,000 Gamerscore promo again so I cranked out some GamePass games recently

- Sea of Solitude (EA Play)

Ok little "ICO" game about some girl's personal issues and her family's issues.

- Eastshade

Weird little game that looks like some Elder Scrolls mod. You walk around the land of Eastshade where you have to paint these 4 pictures of your Mother's last wishes, but in order to access these areas you have to solve some puzzles with people's issues. Theres no fighting you just explore and solve puzzles. There is some material gathering involved.

- The Little Acre

Nice animated adventure game, reminds me of Broken Sword (Charles Cecil was involved). It's very short, the puzzles arent terrible.

- Full Throttle Remastered

It's Full Throttle

- Call of the Sea

Not sure why this is promoted as Series X optimized, nothing really said cum in me that's next gen. Anyway it's an adventure game where you just solve puzzles. I got stumped on 2 puzzles, the rest are pretty easy to solve. I enjoyed it.

- Superhot: Mind Control Delete

First time trying superhot and this game is pretty fun. This is the "DLC" expansion, so it doesnt have the original story and such. It has this Roguelike element where you can unlock new abilities, and as you do a level you randomly get to pick from them as you progress through the level. So if you die, you start back at the beginning but you get new dice rolls for your perks.

- Touhou Luna Nights

Weebavania. You play as some Meido who throws knives everywhere and it has a "graze" gimmick where you brush your tits against enemies and you get HP/MP etc back. Pretty short game, I had fun with it.

- Hypnospace Outlaw

Very interesting game here. I enjoyed mimicing the OS of a computer more than the garish geocities websites. It's pretty much a puzzle/adventure game where you solve them by navigating the websites and find hints to search for stuff.

[Beezy]

What's the promo?
