Why are you xenophobic?

Oh I love Aliens the franchise

But I guess they just had to butcher R6 even more. Used to be such a beautiful franchise. As casualized as they were Vegas and Vegas 2 were still great. Especially Vegas 1.

Clancy is turning around in his grave.

Also kept saying Rainbow Six Extraction to Gamepass would help that first half lineup.

They really are looking strong now adding that and Mass Effect LE plus all the other titles already hitting gamepass. Strong first half coming up!

It’s probably a given that most co-op 4 player games have a fairly high chance of hitting GP, especially if they’re new IP or have low preorder numbers.

An update on this: I redonloaded Touhou Luna Nights and loaded up my old save and I had barely given it a chance. Started a fresh file and caught up after maybe 40 minutes of playing, so definitely discounting my previous thoughts about it. I’m not enjoying the mechanics as much so far but it’s entirely possible that it’ll improve and feel just as good as if not better than its successor.

Yeah. I tried a bit of it too and im not really liking the mechanics either. I understand why but I don’t like how it costs MP to throw knives. The time stop gauge is a bit confusing too.

If i had to guess a “vault” like EA Play version comes to GPU but there’s no way that day one games are always coming to game pass. At least I would be shocked

I see Valhalla coming to Game Pass soon

That’ll be enough for me.

The demo was so good I stopped playing to save the rest for full release - will probably be my favorite game pass game of this month.

@RelloK

IMO more exciting than all Ubi announcements

[FindTheGamer (Tarik)]

@RelloK

Way more exciting than a ubi game

KOF XV DAY 1 RELEASE

Rainbow Six Extraction day one on GP

KOF XV DAY 1 RELEASE

Kind of a strange thing, is that Samurai Shodown from the same devs got an Xbox exclusive next gen enhancement. Barely anyone knows about this because it wasn’t advertised at all (Xbox TGS is the only place I saw it). I’d have thought they’d put the game on Game Pass for that occasion, but it never came. Getting KOF XV day 1 would be a good boost and message for the FGC on Xbox, and a great push for Japanese games.

[Hearthian]

I’ve played 2 or 3 hours into Olija and it seems interesting. The combat is a bit simple, but its effective enough that I haven’t really got bored with it yet.

The game does a good job in tone and atmosphere to make it feel like you’re in some mysterious, foreign place. This along with the story made it really feel like there’s some kind of inspiration behind the game. So I looked around a bit and found that one of the inspirations are “Out of this World,” and the other is the developers (Named Thomas Olsson) own personal story of moving to Japan from France, with everything feeling foreign to him, losing his comfort level.

Cool stuff.

That’s a cool backstory!

And they don’t have to pay a MP-tax either…

PC has its advantages, but it has its own tax in the sense that it is a moving target and whatever hardware you purchase today will need to be upgraded before generations end if you want to maintain performance levels. On PC the tax is the cost.

That is kind of irrelevant to the issue though. Taxing one part of your ecosystem and not the other doesn’t really go well with the PR speak of the Ecosystem.
