Nice. I hope Cocoon and Lamplighters League are good.

I need a Time Pass.

Oh man, Weird West. Barely gave that a chance. I could now, but absolutely wonā€™t. Itā€™s all about space for me now.

Gotham Knights, nice get!

Interesting part from the leak highlighted here for those who wonder why we donā€™t get big AAA games.

Some of those are equivalent to an entire months Game Pass revenue.

Jesus Christ.

It likely puts into perspective why Sony wonā€™t, probably canā€™t do day one exclusives on their service.

And why itā€™s much better to acquire and own the means of production (even if games are kept multi platform) than sign Game Pass deals.

Not linked from what Iā€™ve seen, though you should probably play those instead of GK. Much better usage of your time!

I own the Arkham Collection and my gaming time is limited. Gotham Knights will go away at some point, but those games will always be there. If I donā€™t like GK, Iā€™ll drop it quick.

Iā€™ll have to buy Weird West whenever it goes on sale. Beacon Pines and Prodeus are also really solid games too.

I tried playing Solar Ash and im not really liking it unfortunately. Really liked Hyper Light Drifter and interested in Hyper Light Breaker whenever that comes out but Solar Ash is just a different kind of game.

Very good month for Game Pass.

All I care about is Starfield now though haha. Will play Gotham Knights and Lamplighters sometime before they leave the service though.

It makes sense. The cost will basically be covering estimated lost sales of the users who have gamepass. Itā€™s why a lot of the AAA games that are out on the service are either games that are new ip/studios so it covers some of the risk or games that have been out for a little while so the costs are lower for what is considered a big AAA game

Ace Attorney Trilogy is coming on next week on 26 of September.

Everybody play this game, its awesome!

Gotham Knights is way better than what reviews are making it out to be a piece of shit, but its not. Its actually pretty good.

Its why i hate most game reviews nowdays and donā€™t even bother to look at them.

A day one Yakuza game is wild. No wonder they stay on Game Pass and left others. This is going to be exciting.

When is Ishin?

still on 2023, no date, I bet October or December. (November will be Gaiden)

And story wise for Gaiden itā€™s best to finish the previous Yakuza games first, right?

Well, Jesse said it was good in his review so itā€™s been on my radar since. :wink:

Iā€™m pretty decent and fond of ā€œsouls gamesā€, but something about the attack/dodge in Lies of P (LoP) feels off, like itā€™s clunky or delayed somehow. It might just be the animations and adjusting to the timing, but Iā€™m struggling in a way I never have with any souls game including Bloodborne/Sekiro which is probably the most adjacent I can think of.
