Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

So from what I’ve read you shouldn’t renew when it’s on the day when your subscription end.

Some people reported few bugs.

Wait at least 24h or the be safe 48h. Personally I waited 48h.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Anyone aware of any deals on GPU at the moment? I’d like to top off my subscription before prices go up.

@Zip posted a deal in the deal thread.

Yep. Looks like I missed it.

The only one I’ve seen today is Amazon & it’s not AS good a deal but still a little discount.

Amazon.com : game pass ultimate

they have 1 month for 13.82 or 3 months for 41.66. 3 one month would be 20 cents cheaper but not THAT big of a difference.

I think Eneba usually has pretty good deals. I used them a few times and had no issues getting codes (until they suddenly decided I wasn’t a person and refused to let me buy anything else)

My buddy recommended me to try out Eastward. I am in chapter 2 now and I don’t know what to think of it. I enjoy some of it, but I can’t say I’m super engaged into this. Does it get significantly better after a while? I just saw that the game is 20 hours, jesus, I did not expect that at all.

Could be a good thing depending on if it gets better, if not, I’ll drop it. 20 hours is just too much.

Bramble the mountain king is really good. It was just added, i download it and try it.

I played it for about an hour and besides the beautiful pixel art it looked like a cool little game but I was distracted by REmake 4 IIRC, definitely planning to return to it hopefully sometime this summer.

Played a bit of Bramble and F.I.S.T. yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised! both games look beautiful and run great plus they were really engaging and fun from the little I played. I will continue Bramble today because I assume it will be the shortest of the two and after that I will focus on F.I.S.T. because it is a metroidvania and I will 100% it for sure. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

2023 is a great year for Game Pass! :partying_face:

Got the full 1000g

The combat stays the same and story is rushed and confusing. I still enjoy my time, but if you don’t like the first few hours, drop it.

Just to circle back on this for anyone looking. Eneba does have good prices on GPU codes, both US and Global. I picked up some 3-month US codes for less than $35 (including tax), which was at least $5 better than any other deals I could find right now.

Ghost Bike looks really cool. A chill and vibe game while driving around.

Annapurna always delivers. That was a nice show.

That looked cool indeed. But what is the gameplay loop?

I’m a bit annoyed that its another cycling game where cyclists don’t really lean in bends. Looks goofy.

From the steam page

Bramble…

A annoying boss fight and it’s starting to ruin my fun and motivation to keep trying. I hate game design like this.

During this fight I must hit certain targets, I see the fucking target but the game doesn’t let me aim at it because the aiming only goes so far to the right or left. Ffs. So I must keep running in circles until I can hit it.

Really? Not too bad you’d think, dumb, but not too bad, but this is while the boss throws annoying attacks at you.

Happy weekend all! Just wanted to know if Benedict Fox was updated yet or not. I’d like to play it but have been holding off for the big QoL update they spoke of. Thanks!
