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

[MMaRsu]

Uh, Gears Tactics has been on PC Game Pass for like a year 

Nevermind then lmao  . I think I actually played it when it launched, cool game.

Sadly I dont use the service enough.. I kept it on for Forza Horizon 4 but honestly I should have just bought it.
I dont think it offers too much for PC users.

[demi]

What a waste of oxygen, bye

[Pissy F Benny]

The recently added section has been flooded with ea trash today

Is there really any need to have fifa 14 or nba live whatever on there, no one in their right mind is gonna download that shit

[MMaRsu]

What a waste of oxygen, bye

As if you can argue that Gamepass on PC is a worthy 10€ a month 

[Pissy F Benny]

maybe not if you've pirated everything already

[The Sceneman]

Finished Full Throttle, man that was a short game. BS trial and error action sequences at the end. Defo a weaker SCUMM title but the setting was cool. Easy achievements.

Grim Fandango next!

[Sho Nuff]

That high budget star wars game is on there, is it actually fun

[Hamarr]

Jedi Fallen Order?  If so, I enjoyed it a lot.  It kind of reminded me of a cross between the Tomb Raider reboot with a Souls type game.

[The Sceneman]

Am interested in Star Warse

[Cerveza mas fina]

Just beat the first boss in Tactics.

Good game so far on the normal difficulty.

[Bebpo]

Halo 4

Required disc space 161 GB


WTF, guessing you have to install every MCC collection game or something? I don't even have that space right now with Watchdogs Legion and Forza 7 installed.

[Pissy F Benny]

isn't halo 4 a 360 game too

[Bebpo]

Xbox One

Well deleted Forza 7 and downloading it now. Will give the campaign like 30 mins and see how it looks/plays on PC. Going back to Reach's visuals was...yeah, pretty dated. Hopefully Halo 4 being one generation ahead looks a little nicer.

[Cerveza mas fina]

A bit but...

Game is bad beps

[Bebpo]

Nm, Halo 4 was a X360 game. I wonder why I never got it/played it. I was into Halo and got them all through Reach. Thought I didn't get 4/5 because they were on Xbox One.

[Sho Nuff]

120FPS Halo is insane, it's like butter

It still doesn't make Halo 4 good though

[The Sceneman]

Grim Fandango is so good. I missed this one back in 98 due to only owning a ps1 (I had played the other T Schafer games on an earlier 486 w/ CD ROM I had access to eg. Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle)

Manny's voice acting is so endearing and likable and the whole milieu of the game makes so much more sense to me as an adult with knowledge of film noir, smoking, and Día de Muertos.

Probably bc 343i

I beat tactics on PC a few months ago. It’s good but gets really repetitive

[Skullfuckers Anonymous]

3 month game pass ultimate for $20. If you remember to disable auto renew before activating then you’ll get an extra month so it’s $60 for a year.

https://www.target.com/p/xbox-game-pass-ultimate/-/A-81874854?preselect=76626995

[Beezy]

Won't a year of gold still convert to a year of Ultimate if you let your sub run out? You can get a year of Ultimate for $60 this way also.

[Transhuman]

I'm starting to think that the 343i studio was built on a native american burial site or something. I'd love to watch the behind the scenes of this wreck

[Ghoul]

It’s built on a Bungie burial site and only ghosts of Bungie work on the games.

[mormapope]

Halo under Bungie was space war opera that revolved around around conflict that spanned a short amount of time in the Halo universe. Halo at its best revolves around large scale war.

343 tries to tell a story incorporating lore into everything, and trying to inject storytelling into Halo when it doesn't need it. Halo 4 didn't invoke large scale conflict. Halo 5 didn't. Halo Infinite most likely won't.

Halo 4 should've been Earth getting destroyed, pockets of humanity escaping, Master Chief and the remaining Spartans end up being the remaining line of defense. A Halo ring ends up being habitable, Humanity fights to seize it. There's vaults on the ring to ensure survival if you use the ring. Space drama, betrayal, cliffhangers, yada yada.

Large scale and interesting conflict. Instead we got "how does Master Chief feel about this??"

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

[brawndolicious]

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)

Scroll down for the exact dates.

[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.

[MMaRsu]

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

Eh game isnt that great

[Supermanisdead]

impulse bought a series s and gamepass  my first game will be sunset overdrive 

[Bebpo]

Doom and stuff is out on PC now.

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

Perfect for trying for free!

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

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

[MMaRsu]

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

[Supermanisdead]

this naruto boruto game fucking sucks lmao.

[Svejk]

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

PASS.

There's a reason it's called GamePass. 

[Sho Nuff]

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

[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]

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

You weren't kidding holy shit.

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?

[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
