I wonder what Lightyear Frontier be like. Seems like there’s building and stuff probably. I like the look.

While we’ve seen worse, yeah…some of these reactionsā€¦ā€œomg, flamethrowersā€ come on now, really? Definitely could do without that but…yeah.

The bigger question is why have hosts at all if you aren’t going to give them anything to work with? Hey, we are going to show you some games, we wont tell you anything about them in advance… you will just guess at what the game actually is. Alright, have at it!

Oli Oli world looks sick. Is this the first Oli Oli game that isn’t launching first exclusively on PlayStation?

Sam and Max, now that’s nice. Had no idea this was coming.

God I loved it on PC as a kid.

So far so boring. Again.

Maybe Sam & Max: Save The World Remastered was somehow interesting to me.

It seems faster than the last time, less banter, but it’s anyway slow for boomer audience, it’s really aimed to young guys who watch twitch hours and hours every day.

Sarah Bond has a pillow of the Xbox controller. That is dope!

And a demo of Aeon Drive is available now, that’s cool.

Wandering Village looks amazing, been looking forward to seeing more of it.

Had to take the dog for a walk, so I missed like the last 45 minutes or so, did the Game Pass trailer happen yet?

Oh I see the tweet a few comments above me. We already knew about Aragami 2. Not sure what they are thinking with Pupperazi, lol.

ID@Xbox Game Pass Showcase was much better show in my opinion.

It wasn’t so long. Up to 30 minutes. It had several games, some new announcements, brief interviews. Not so much useless talking, fake excitements and cringe situations.

Nintendo’s Indie World is the best organised showcase for indie games.

More and more Annapurna games seem to be launching day one on gamepass…

It was alright, but next time I will just wait it out so I can skip the talks and just watch the trailers. I really noticed once again how I just don’t care at all what these hosts have to say. Just give me the trailers and I’ll be on my merry way.

There are exceptions, the E3 post show with Parris was great, but that’s because the dude asked really good questions, didn’t overreact about stuff and was just a damn good host really.

Parris knows what he’s talking about, twitch hosts don’t have a clue outside mainstream stuff (and even in that case, lol).

I could be wrong but I swear Stardew was on Gamepass a couple of years ago on Xbox one.

I think I won’t speak for everyone but for many of us. This last stream was an absolutely dumpster fire format wise. Hated it. There were some decent games but the format…UGH!

Useless presence of clueless hosts faking excitement, too much talking and annoying blurb for nothing. Overly long & tiring with their filler bad jokes, I had to skip often a lot of stuff. Please just get rid of the damn hosts, make it shorter & show only the damn games. We’re here for the games only, not the fake hype men hosts or whatever. I don’t care.

And if devs have to speak let only them speak between 2:30 & 5 minutes for example to present their games.

How can they not understand such basic things is beyond me. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Parris was really good at the extended showcase, I really liked his style, let him handle it. He genuinely cares about the games & has good focus with interesting questions.

Rant off!

Anyway, the game I’m looking forward is Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. Really interesting one.

Is it really coming to GamePass?
