Basically any Double Fine game.

Misleading news like this just create unrealistic expectations.
While I havenât played it myself, if youâre into Borderlands, I would say Tiny Tinaâs Wonderlands as itâs definitely more humor based than anything but can also be seen as cringy dialogue/writing wise so it depends on what exactly youâre looking for. I would suggest watching a few reviews or a walkthrough of the opening and see if itâs for you.
Itâs ok. Let the disappointment build.

Lets get this straight
- Spartacus is supposed to be a GP competitor according to those inside Playstation
- It wonât include day 1 1st party titles
- It will force BC to a sub service and possibly stream only after the head of Playstation and their fans said who wants to play old games, new games only matter
- It will only include demos of their 1st party and it will most likely cost the same as GP
- Subscription services are NOW sustainable and great for the industry

Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango, Secret of Monkey Island series, Discworld (PC), Thimbleweed Park, The Procession to Calvary and Space Quest series (PC) are super funny if you are into point & click adventures. I think the South Park games are good and true to the show if you are into this. Newer games are slim pickings, i thought Brutal Legend, Saints Row 3 and West of Loathing (PC) pretty hilarious. Psychonauts 2, Portal, Tales from the Borderland and Conkers Bad Fur day are other picks. Sunset Overdrive is very hit and miss with people.
People were suprised about GotGâs humor shows the sad state of the AAA video game industrie. I assume if you crunch for months you are not in the mood for good jokes. And as you said if your games main interaction is about murdering other humans, the possibility of humor is fast diminishing. See my pickings above and then contrast it with something as unfunny as Bulletstorm.

Are you looking for something light-hearted and âaction blockbuster movieâ or something sharp and witty, or more cerebral? Basically, are you looking to turn off your brain and laugh or think and chuckle? Both are incredibly viable in my opinion.
This game is free on Xbox and itâs fun. I believe this was announced at TGA two years ago. Fly around on a dragon and combat other dragons. Looks good, sadly itâs only 30fps and doesnât seem stable at that either, Iâm sure itâs being worked on. Hopefully they can bring it to 60fps, since it IS optimized for Xbox Series.
MP only.

In their defense, I think they always meant âsubscription services that include AAA, 1st party titles on day 1 are not sustainable.â
And as we know, theyâre holding to that.
I think a majority of people who are saying that is because of console wars, they donât actually care if itâs sustainable or not because why would you care if a trillion dollar company can afford it or not. If Game Pass was not sustainable all that would change is they would get rid of the service and thatâs that, theyâre not going to shut down Xbox if Game Pass wasnât sustainable.

Iâm a couple of hours into it on my Series X, and so far I agree with this. Although last night I finished the Du or Die mission, and my experience with it has given me a little bit of hope.
My first couple of attempts I just ran head first at it, guns blazing, Rambo-style. That didnât work.
And as you suggest, all out combat is just not that rewarding or fun.
So, then I thought Iâd do it a bit more stealthily, yet also murderous. First Blood-style. And that worked like a charm.
Sneaking around that fort, killing people from behind with my machete, looting whatever components and cash I could find in storage rooms and barracks⌠I will admit that that was a fair bit of fun.
Although it remains to be seen how much I can replicate that in further missions.
Agreed. But I also think itâs perfectly sustainable. For two reasons:
First, my uninformed reason: To me the math suggests it is. We know thereâs 25+ million subscribers. We know the cheapest Game Pass tier is $10. Therefore, we know theyâre pulling in at least USD $250 million per month. Thatâs $3 billion a year. And that number just continues to grow each month.
Iâm just some armchair analyst who donât actually know very many cold hard facts, but Iâve gotta think that kind of cash is more than enough to fund the whole operation. And Iâm not even accounting for the various synergies they are able to leverage due to Microsoftâs size, things like Azure and whatnot.
And yes, Iâm also not accounting for people who are subscribing at the $1 price, or paying for it with Microsoft Rewards points, etc. But then again, Iâm also not accounting for those who are paying $15.
Second, because Phil Spenser said so. More precisely, he said that Game Pass is âvery, very sustainable right now as it sits.â
And I just canât believe heâd straight up lie about something like that. 
Yes most of our media and countrymen are supporting the anti-US narrative blindly by justifying with the fact that US gov fucked us over with sanctions in past and it is the Soviet who has always supported us on international platforms. But honestly not only India but few other south Asian countries are also supporting the Russian side this time. Itâs the result of a herd mentality and rise in populism that our people suffer from nothing elseâŚ
I read a tweet a few days ago about Russian bots targeting BRICS, not so much the West right now. That would explain that.
Donât know about yours but Itâs called freedom of speech in our country⌠The YouTube channel is simply reporting what happened in NK (sure it is exaggerated and presented in twisted way which media around the world often does and I hate it personally as well)
Also the comments are mostly sarcastic. They are not against any nation or their people but against only their governments which are greedy and have done similar things in the past.
Seriously, donât bring such topics in forums like this with provoking stuff like âcan our Indian friends speak on itâ
You should have checked that there are only 0.2 million views of this video with only 1.4K comments where YouTube user base in India is 450M+ in 2021. You could even error out 0.2 million figure against such huge user base. This doesnât tell anything about India and its attitude.
This is high level Geo political stuff which if discussed would open up lot of can of worms. Lets not do this here or anywhere I suppose. And letâs not discuss it any further.
I wonder if it should go to Ukraine topic thoughâŚ
I have seen many of my people in social media glorifying Putinâs recent âeffortsâ and that âUkraineâs president should just keep quiet and take it from behindâ. Itâs like they are pro-imperialism when itâs another country thatâs suffering.

Anyways⌠We have much more important topics to discuss like Spartacus VS Gamepass marketing / Joke
And I am again going to flag your comment because of your inappropriate slang used against me
Have a good day sir
