Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

Yeah, that’s probably why. I mean, it’d be strong even if split into 2 but that’s probably why so much at once.

My 5 year old - aka the bringer of chaos - will be so excited about goat simulator 3. He loves the first one - especially the part where he headbutts people off cranes.

Two weeks is probably not enough time to play all the way through Chained Echoes at a normal pace. It’s an excellent game though, so if you like RPGs at all, do give it a try. It’s well worth the 25 bucks but try it while you still can!

If you play 3-4 hours a day, it’s possible. Got all achievements with around 60h of playtime

I’m going to play it as much as I can, though I think I will chip in since it does capture my interest. Wished I had time before, but that’s on me. It’s a year apart already; time sure flew.

Thanks for the correction, I beat it well over six months ago so I’m fuzzy on the particulars.

Story of my life!

No worries.

But people should start playing Persona 3 or 4. Should be part of the next batch that will leave GP soon.

For sure, with one caveat: while Persona 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, the remake might be a better way to experience it than the P3P version available on Xbox. I’ve been on a media blackout about it so I don’t know if there have been any red flags :sweat_smile:

The games can stand alone people, there’s no need to worry about where you jump in aside from QoL stuff you might miss.

The female MC storypath is slightly different and is not included in the Reload version IIRC

I had heard that, but I was mostly concerned about first-timers. I love Minako but her path probably shouldn’t be a first experience.

World War Z Aftermath is an expansion to the game?

All these great additions and I‘m like “damn, I knew I have to finish Eastward and Chained Echoes back to back“. Did play the first 1 1/2 hours of Chained Echoes already and liked it and I will now continue. But I would also happily make the purchase in mid-December to support the small German indie dev. Lots of indie love for me on Game Pass right now, also played the awesome Jusant and COCOON this month.

Great month, again. This is that good mix of games I like to see. Bring in some older, big games like RotTR and Far Cry 6 too, very nice.

For me, I own most of the ones I’m interested in here. But there’s always something, Spirit of the North is on my wishlist so that’s very nice to get.

Oh, and no games leaving I care about! Nice.

Truth be told, I didn’t care much for this game but the sales did surprise me. Coming to Game Pass, I could learn why there’s a good amount of audience for it. Game Pass is a gem.

Yeah, I thought this seemed like a very strong batch to just be the first half so it would make sense if this is the full month

Although I wont be surprised to see some TGA GP announcements too but overall I’m not expecting much more this month, that’s a hefty batch

A suspicious amount of Embracer titles there…

Rollerdrome is great fun.

In the blog post they say: This month, we’re going for a “let’s announce everything coming in Game Pass for December” sort of vibe; we’ll be back in early January after the holidays for more games coming soon to Game Pass.

I would guess anything at the awards will be targeting next year unless there’s something big they decide to drop(BG3?).

I had the same thought on embracer my guess with the financial situation they are in , it’s a win win for both Xbox and them. Gives embracer much needed funds and Xbox some bangers for gamepass.

Wouldn’t surprise me over the next few months we see some of their other titles hit
