One Piece World Seeker is quite mediocre too from what I’ve heard, and One Piece Odyssey is way too new. They had One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 on GP before though, that one is apparently decent.

A lot of Bamco’s licensed games are not that great lol.

I mean licensed game be licensed. The supposed curse does linger on in some doses.

They added just about everything aside from Souls and Arise. Their real next move is day one release.

Day one releases is a move I’d love to see happen.

Maybe one of these months they finally add Arise. We had Scarlet Nexus pretty soon after release, new IP, in no way as big and well known as Tales, but it’s more than a year since its release now.

Bamco has been good with them, so I don’t see any negative change between them.

Tales of Arise is constantly on sale for around twenty bucks on both PSN and Xbox, but I haven’t pulled the trigger because I’m waiting for a game pass announcement that may never come.

How difficult is Tales of Arise. The Tales games I’ve played before have all had pretty involved combat. I’m looking for something a little more button mashy.

There’s a demo on the store, if you want. It was pretty mashy from what I remember.

Exactly the same here, just waiting since I got plenty to play as it is. I wonder why it hasn’t happened yet. Can’t imagine Xbox isn’t interested, BN making asking too much for it?

This is exactly why I haven’t bought it. I just know that if I buy it for $20, it’s gonna sit unplayed in my backlog. Ironically if it ever comes to game pass, I’d probably play it right away.

I have pulled the trigger on it earlier this year and didn’t regret it.

With that in mind, it now should probably hit Game Pass within the next two months or so to make me regret it retroactively.

I haven’t played an RPG in this style in quite a while, but after just a few hours I can tell that Chained Echoes will going be one of the best games I’ve ever played.

About Astroneer on Game Pass:

Adam @ no Twitter: “In 2022 we published an article to Medium that outlines Astroneer-by-the-numbers. In it, we show that at that time we had over 8M players of the game and 68% of them came from Xbox, of which the majority are from Gamepass, which MS pays us to be apart of.” / Twitter

Not too difficult but the enemies are really spongy, even on the easiest setting. Boss battles take forever just mashing on them and doing teeny tiny damage. I can’t imagine how tedious some of the bosses must be on hard.

It’s really good, I enjoyed it tremendously and intend to buy it when I have the chance! It does so many interesting QoL things too. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear. There’s definitely a system I almost completely ignored lol.

With Atomic Heart tomorrow there very likely won’t be a second drop tomorrow. So either later in the week or else 28th?

SH2 is good! I imagine people will get upset at the smaller number of titles, but with AH yesterday and Wo Long next week those are two titles with big budgets behind them.

[saintsflow20]

Wo Long still felt far away for me. Didn’t realize it was next Friday. Time is moving too quickly
