My experience with Watch Dogs was the same - it seemed like the mix of Assassin's Creed and Deus Ex type gameplay that I would go nuts for but the game was just a damn slog. I tried it again at some point on the XSX and still just couldn't make myself get really far into the game.

Watch Dogs 2 any good? I got the first game on GwG a long time ago never got around to playing it.

It's better than the first game and much better than the 3rd game. It's a lot of fun once you unlock the ability to hack most of the things in the world. It runs 60fps on the Series X, but the game was never updated on the One X, so it was only 900p and doesn't look so good these days. I guess it's upscaled now? Still looks kinda poopy overall.

I downloaded Far Cry 5, been in the mood for a modern setting shooter for the last few months. I'm bummed to see that the FPS Boost on this completely deactivates all the Xbox One X enhancements and runs the Xbox One S code at 60fps.

I think it does the same thing in Far Cry New Dawn as well from what I've played of it so far. I downloaded FC5, but haven't gotten around to playing it. I never finished it on PS4 because it was annoying always

Getting kidnapped.

House Flipper devs: Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass team "the best of the best"

House Flipper was a hugely popular surprise addition to the Xbox Game Pass library when it joined the service back in June, so we reached out to developer Frozen District to learn more about the Xbox Game Pass experience.

"It definitely helped us to expand our community, and we're all here for it! Many new people are eager to talk and share their experiences, which is excellent," says Patryk “Roumyan” Przybyła, Frozen District's head of social media. "We're happy we've been able to make it happen!" As for the experience of having the game joining the Xbox Game Pass service, Przybyła adds, "it was surprisingly good! The game dev industry tends to be a little unpredictable, so it's usually quite difficult to do something for the first time because you don't really know what to expect. In this case, the Microsoft team made it really easy to figure stuff out. They're the best of the best!"It's always interesting to hear how these arrangements to bring a game to Xbox Game Pass come about, so we asked Przybyła for more info. "At Frozen District, creating games is about having fun, constantly improving, and exploring our options," he tells us. "We're a part of a PlayWay Group," — a successful Polish company behind a number of simulation games. "They are the ones who told us about this opportunity and offered to help with making it happen," Przybyła says. "We felt like joining Xbox Game Pass might be an amazing opportunity to show our game to a broader audience, so we just went for it!"

"Of course!" Przybyła continues, when we ask whether this experience with Xbox Game Pass would make the House Flipper team more inclined to have future games join the service too. "Overall, it was a great experience, so it would be foolish of us not to do it again sometime soon!" And for those of you who are coming to the end of House Flipper and are hoping for more renovation sims on the horizon, it's good news: "As I mentioned earlier, [Xbox Game Pass] made our community bigger, allowing us to gather more feedback in preparations for the release of House Flipper 2," Przybyła explains. "The more people, the more ideas and suggestions we get, which is great given that our past experiences play a BIG part in the development process."

Gave up on Far Cry 5 over the weekend. Just became too annoying/frustrating that it got in the way of the fun. Weird bugs, getting kidnapped, enemies with would overwhelm you out of nowhere when you are trying to do something, enemies that Hawkeye vision through trees and brush at times.

So I started Dragon Age Inquisition on EA Play never got around to this one when it came out. I put in 5 hours yesterday and I’m enjoying it so far. This feels like the BioWare I loved. Will rotate this with AC Origins still enjoying that one as well.

Dang, maybe I'll delete Far Cry 5 off of my harddrive. Sounds too annoying to try.

We put our game on a service with 25+ million subs, more people played our niche little game. What's next, they going to tell us water is wet?

Funny how they always ignore how few people play these games for a significant amount of time. As of right now, on Xbox, only 1.3%finished it. Lol.

Pretty sure the achievement completion percentages include Xbox and PC users though.
 
menace-uk- said:
How you figure that?
Click to expand...
Previous information and discussions indicate that achievement completion percentages are measured against total registered users. I figure between Xbox and PC that 100 million registered users is reasonable to expect.

That makes no sense. So 70 million people finished the first mission, lol.

If you say so. The proliferation rate must be pretty high then of the number of people who gave it a try. I guess that’s possible. My girls each have a copy and gave it a go. That’s two of our three registered users for our household. The barrier of entry for them was quite low.

It is you who is saying so.

The system works based on the amount of people who play the game, this is why numbers drop when added to gamepass and more "rare" cheevos pop up. It is also why games like COD follow the same pattern when it starts its free play days.

That 1.3% is worth closer to 320K players.
 
The DLC is really terrible imo. I have the game & DLC for the Pro. I was thinking about buying this again for the X for the 60fps, but I won't have to it seems.

Literally you who said it, but sure go ahead and argue with yourself.

It was your logic that came to that number, not mine. Don't go all Valliance because you were wrong.

Sigh, typical circle jerk backpedaling mental gymnastics. I don’t care enough to keep track of your part of the conversation for you, let alone enough about the topic to continue any kind of argument with a delusional mook. You like to listen to yourself and you want to be right about something, so have at it. I’m done trying to be helpful. Go play with the kids.

It was your logic that came to that number, fact. The only person backpedaling is you. You are the dumbass who suggested the percentage was based on the entire registered gamer pool for Xbox and PC, resulting in 70 million people completing the first mission for a super niche game Lol. All you have done since I pointed that out is spout nonsense.

Being a dick isn't being helpful you self deluded mook.
 
I loved Hyper Light Drifter. Looking forward to trying it out when available on GP.
