Sophie Turner’s just been in Joan, an autobiographical TV series in the UK about “the godmother of crime”.

She was good in it, often unrecognisable compared to her role as Sansa and very believable as a bad ass - so I’m actually thinking this could be very good casting

Oooh, good to hear. :+1: Thanks for posting that, I’m gonna have to see if I can check it out.

I’m a sucker for “early access” Gamepass games. So that Avowed premium edition is speaking to me…

Only did it once but it really felt good. I understood why they do it, because people are attracted it to it. It feels like you got a leaked copy and get to play it before everyone else, but officially. Getting to play and forming your own reception before reviews and all that nonsense is somewhat freeing too.

Already have this on Steam.

Death Stranding starts with SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS on Xbox

I don’t understand, why not just publish it themselves, get that cut. Unless they do in some way already?

Got $10 balance on my account. Any recommendations for something to get with it in this sale?

Avowed early access should have been 3 days max. 5 days is a lot. Not sure how I feel about that. It’s a bit scummy from MS/Obsidian. I know why they do it, but it should not be the norm going forward…

I’ll be honest, I’m torn on your reaction. It’s not multiplayer with perk unlocked to say, “Haha! I got stronger weapon because of my early access!” I mean can a man wait for 5 more days? Why is it a bad thing now? Legit confused.

I care less about the time and more that it doesn’t include anything that makes me want to buy it (like DLC).

Yeah, that upgrade seems particularly bare-boned for the price. Oh well, I can wait. (Probably)

2 Likes

hmm, maybe there’s just not gonna be DLC…

In any case, I don’t mind it, 3 days, 5 days. Whatever. I don’t see what’s objectively bad about it for the experience itself. I can’t even say spoilers because those can come from previews or reviews etc.

Yeah, I think if there was DLC planned it’d be in there. What they are providing is effectively $0 in value to me without that though, unfortunately. So it’s basically paying strictly for early access. I can only speak for me though.

Yeah no I understand. It’s a fomo play. And you also get a couple of skins :smile:

They must be in a hurry to move to their next project… Fallout lol

Wouldn’t you see the difference a simultaneous release makes?
