Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

Yeah, I am also pretty sure about that.

In the last few days I’ve played Doom 64, Undertale, Unto The End, Costume Quest 2 and HyperDot – and I loved them all!

I seriously doubt FF7 in itself is gonna be on Xbox for at least six more months, but sure, we’ll hopefully learn soon.

How’s hyperdot difficulty wise?

Its hell on console on higher level while easier with mouse on PC. The randomness of it make passing certain levels a real pain or real cakewalk even once you get the gist of the level.

Don’t expect easy game completion, unless the achievements glitch on you if switching between console and pc.

On which dates we get announcements for month Game Pass releases?

First April week maybe? It is rather random. Could be next week.

Very difficult, even with the Windows exploit. I spent nearly 3 hours to get an achievement for surviving 25 seconds.

I played using the keyboard arrows, btw

Just tried the medium since I had it installed. Wasn’t really my type of game. Played the first hour and it just didn’t grab me.

I just beat it last weekend. It picks up a bit, but I didn’t love it (not a big fan of the genre) It was an interesting experience, if nothing else.

I’ve heard people say you need to make it to ā€˜x’ point but with the constant amount of games I have to play, if something doesn’t hook me right away then I’m probably not playing it.

Oh yeah, I feel you. There’s so much to play on Game Pass alone, why sink more time into an experience you aren’t enjoying?

I use to make myself finish games I wasn’t having fun with. A terrible thing to do to yourself

I used to 1000/1000 games I didn’t even like because I was way too into ā€œcompletionā€. Glad we respect our time more now :laughing:

Edit: To get back on-topic, this is a reason I really appreciate Game Pass. I can sample games that are ostensibly outside of my wheelhouse without putting down too much money, and I don’t feel like it’s a sunk cost if I bounce off.

Also, I hope they can convert the 1k achievement into a discount for buying the game. That would be very tangible.

They should just say - For any Gamepass game that you 1k, you get a 25% discount on the game retail price on the store.

I used to do that too. And yes while there has been a lot of stuff I’ve bounced off of I’ve also found a lot of gems that I wouldn’t have normally played

So will all the games shown on Thursday premier in Gamepass?

no, a good portion of them will though.

I used to do that to myself. Think it was partly the mindset of ā€œI bought it & I’m going to get my money’s worth.ā€

This is one of the main reasons that I’m into Game Pass. Now I can try out stuff that looks interesting & if a game doesn’t do it for me? It’s no hassle to just stop & move on to something else.

If nothing else, gamepass is putting the pressure on devs, big and small, to make sure their games are front loaded to hook people early
