I use them for xbox codes quite often, never had a problem, and they have most games for xbox.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #901 on:** June 03, 2021, 05:13:29 PM »

Huh, I never thought about buying game codes from third party vendors, always just bought shit direct from the console store. Will check them out

Oberservation is awesome. Im about 3/4 through I think. It draws inspiration from basically every hard-sci-fi film but that isnt a bad thing. Theres touches of Interstellar, Gravity, Stowaway, 2001, Sunshine et al. The result ends up feeling quite original still, especially due to the perspective of the player and subsequent handling of the narrative

Yeah, the ending (no spoilers) is a bit rushed, but overall very cool and unique game.
Although some puzzles aren't really all that thrilling.

I'm intrigued by Maneater, anyone check it out?

I just got a Series X. Is there anything that’s must play on the Series X?

I’ve been mostly playing Outriders with some friends. It’s fairly fun but janky. I’m glad I didn’t spend anything on it. Twenty second load times for the missions is nice. It took forever to load on the One X.

I platinumed the game in like 6 hours on the PS5. It's a pretty decent mid-tier game. I enjoyed it.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #909 on:** June 05, 2021, 09:26:45 PM »

yeah the description sounded very funny. Evolve into an ultra-shark or something. lol. Easy completion = I'm sold. Downloading now

Mainly just getting deep into Hollow Knight now. Man, what a masterpiece

Does this mean Persona is coming to gamepass?! (Or Xbox for that matter)

Pissy F Benny · « **Reply #912 on:** June 06, 2021, 09:40:50 AM »

I thought ooo that's hot then realised that I kind if never wanna play p5 again even thought I beat and enjoyed the vanilla version overall

Lonewulfeus · « **Reply #913 on:** June 06, 2021, 06:12:27 PM »

Persona on gamepass would be amazing. Make it happen Phil!

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #914 on:** June 06, 2021, 06:43:24 PM »

I stopped about 8 hours into Vanilla, if Royale was on my Boner I'd be all in

The Sceneman · « **Reply #915 on:** June 07, 2021, 02:41:28 AM »

Maneater is pretty good. Low stakes chilled out sandbox collectathon. Jokes are pretty funny, the guy who plays Jerry in Rock and Morty does the narration, just sprinkling in bullshit shark "facts" while you play. Even has a free DLC Tiger shark skin lol.

Also I played Hollow Knight for 5 hours straight today which is a very very long time for me these days. Wowee I don't know how they made a game that just keeps getting better but they did it. The design is absurdly good. Team Cherry are INSANELY talented. Almost crapped my pants going through the 'Deepnest' level. They totally nailed the atmosphere there. Terrifying, horrible place.

Bebpo · « **Reply #916 on:** June 07, 2021, 02:45:44 AM »

Yeah, Hollow Knight is good gaming.

- Yakuza 7
- Back 4 Blood
- Plague Tale 2 (confirmed by multiple people)

Imagine paying for games???

Bebpo · « **Reply #923 on:** June 12, 2021, 03:21:12 PM »

Ya, I'll probably skip Y4-Y6 for now and play Y7 to get the better money value before all these are removed from Game Pass.

Btw, Judgment still pretty good demi. The mini-games suck ass, but they always have and always will be nothing but time wasters.

demi · « **Reply #924 on:** June 12, 2021, 03:24:03 PM »

I didnt think Judgment was bad, it's just very middling

4 > 6 > K1 > 0 > K2 > Judgment > Dead Souls > 5 > 3

Bebpo · « **Reply #925 on:** June 12, 2021, 03:31:14 PM »

Pissy F Benny · « **Reply #926 on:** June 12, 2021, 08:15:22 PM »

Y7 is the best game in the series, get hyped bois

The Sceneman · « **Reply #927 on:** June 13, 2021, 11:49:43 PM »

A lot of goodness is coming to Game Pass. Is Yakuza Like A Dragon good? Last Yakuza game I played was #2 on PS2... I liked it plenty though.

Gonna smang Wolfenstein 2 as well

ZombieSupaStar · « **Reply #928 on:** June 14, 2021, 12:34:09 AM »

I just realized I had gpu and I’ve never used it. I did those 3 years of gold thing back in 2019 lol. Microsoft must love users like me! Also helps I only pc game and I’d rather have my prostate scraped than use the ms store.

And I bought the MCC on steam to boot!

YES you will love Like A Dragon, dont worry about the past games

Lol homeboy is getting "clowned" by the "clap backs" in the comments.

Gamers are some of the biggest nincompoops ever. Crying about games leaving service, wanting physical copies of everything, needing to own everything "forever". JFC man society isn't natural and the sun's going to explode. wgaf

Nintex · « **Reply #939 on:** June 17, 2021, 06:25:10 PM »

There's a difference between game dropping from GamePass and a game being delisted from XBL.
If you love the game so much that you can't do without it (after it was playable on GamePass for over 6 months) you can easily find them on sale.

Half the people complaining 1. Don't use GamePass or 2. Didn't play and download these on time.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #940 on:** June 17, 2021, 06:32:58 PM »

Yep. And a lot of my favourite games on Gamepass have been pump and dump titles. Play em once, get all achievements, delete, never have desire to play again. See stuff like Edith Finch, Donut County, Observation. Even Plague Tale

Ugh, didn't mean to include that dumb comment under Wario's tweet. I just wanted to share the games leaving so that people here would get one last chance to play them.

Edit: Nvm, just realized it was Joe who shared it. Time for bed.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #944 on:** June 19, 2021, 07:41:48 AM »

The campaign DLC for Dishonored 2 apparently dropped on game pass. This is fuckin good shit. At least 7 hours here. Longer, the way I play Arkane games.

Bebpo · « **Reply #945 on:** June 19, 2021, 12:27:00 PM »

Free dlc in game pass?

That’s new. Wonder if it was an accident.

Don Rumata · « **Reply #946 on:** June 19, 2021, 12:50:44 PM »

Bebpo · « **Reply #947 on:** June 19, 2021, 12:54:06 PM »

Pretty sure Horizon DLC was still paid.

More recently Outer Worlds DLCs are paid. I can't think of any game pass game with DLC.

demi · « **Reply #948 on:** June 19, 2021, 01:42:19 PM »

He is talking about Death of the Outsider I think, there was no campaign DLC for Dishonored 2

Dishonored (did have some campaign DLC)
Dishonored 2 (no DLC afaik)
Death of the Outsider (standalone game that is basically Dishonored 2 Epilogue)

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #949 on:** June 19, 2021, 07:28:33 PM »

Oh, OK, I was confused. I'd assumed that Death of the Outsider was a DLC and not a standalone. Absolutely worth playing, the art direction in this game fuckin kills me it's so good.

Bebpo · « **Reply #950 on:** June 19, 2021, 07:52:28 PM »

Yeah, Arkane's art direction is stellar.

Wasn't Dishonored's art style by someone that worked on Half-life 2? Because it's basically that same good style.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #951 on:** June 19, 2021, 08:54:23 PM »

Yeah, it's Viktor Antonov firing on all cylinders. Bulgarian guy. I LOVE the paintings hanging on the wall in this game, they are all extremely fucked in the best way

Yeah he honestly "made" Half Life for me.
Also the only reason why i even attempted to play Dishonored (though i couldn't be bothered to continue).

He also worked on the Nazi Berlin in Wolfestein TNO.

Up to you, the only good job is the matriarch for females.
But you can get 1000 just fine with no DLC

yeah I did some googling and the job pack seems to be the only one thats worth it. Will toss Sega a couple of bucks

Bebpo · « **Reply #959 on:** June 20, 2021, 06:30:47 PM »

Trying out Like a Dragon, I'm kind of surprised that Kamurocho looks worse than in Judgment which was two years earlier. Might just be the stylized lighting in Judgment. I'd assume textures & geometry are the same.
