Nice! Have to say I LOOOOVE Gamepass. Way too many games to play which is a blessing and a curse....trying to get through the backlog and then I start a game just because it catches my eye or it's part of a Gamepass quest. I started Sniper Elite 4 for a Gamepass quest and damn I'm having a good time with it. It's like Zombie Army but without the Zombies....so a bit more strategic planning of each area/level...or not if you like the brute force approach :). Going to finish it out backlog be damned!
 
I find it pretty cool they respond to pretty much everyone on Twitter no matter what they say.

I’ve just come to terms that yes Children of Morta can be a grind at times, but It’s such a great game that keeps me coming back even when I get frustrated. I just play it when I don’t feel like playing any MP shooters or big games or if I got an hour or less and want to get a quick run in. I finally got to and beat the 3rd boss now I’m starting the 2nd portal. When it leaves Game Pass I’m sure I’ll be buying it.

I haven’t played NBA 2K in years will definitely check that out. I loved playing the My Player mode on the older games.
I think the last time I played it was like, 2011 on 360. We used to play pregaming parties in college and it was the best.

Last one I owned was the one on 360 that featured Jordan for the first time, that game was amazing. I rented or tried the demo on a few since then just never got around to buying a newer one.

Looking through my achievements, my lists are too long. About 2/3rd of the games I've played over the past year have been on Game Pass.

Games like DMC5, Dead Cells and Bloodstained are some of my favorites this gen but I already purchased those.

Games like Ori 2, Forza 4, Gears 5 and Outer Worlds were great, saved me money...but I would've bought those.

Where the real value comes is from those games I would have never purchased. Favorite discoveries on Game Pass:
  • Slay the Spire - I probably would have never purchased a card game in my life but this is now a top 15 game of the gen for me
  • A Plague Tale - One of the best story driven games of the gen
  • Skyforce Reloaded - videogame crack
  • Mutant Year Zero
  • Yakuza Zero
  • My Friend Pedro
  • Goose Game - had fun playing with my kids
  • Remnant: From the Ashes
  • Enter the Gungeon
  • Wasteland 2
  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider - didn't love ROTTR which is why I skipped this. Like this one better.
  • Metro Exodus
  • DmC - convinced me to buy DMC5
  • Rise and Shine
  • Human Fall Flat - me and my son had a blast playing this together

To me the primary value has come not in the savings but in the discovery of stuff I would've never spent money to take a chance on.
 
Thanks for the lists guys. Many of those are on my list to play but missed a couple including Slay the Spire. Could not get into DMC 5, FFXV (I like some Japanese games but these really did not resonate with me), Enter the Gungeon or After Party. Sounds like Plague Tale is a must play and I'm also game to check out Yakuza 0 and Slay the Spire. There are definitely a few cases where I discovered games from the GP quests...really dug Sniper Elite 4 and Superhot. I'll be gaming a bit more during this CV lockdown for sure so keep the lists coming!
 
I bought Shadow of the Tomb Raider back in December when it was on sale. It was due to it being in GP. Was loving the game. But since its been off, I can't access it anymore even though I bought it. Anyone else been through this?

I had the issue with limbo, when it went free for e3 but when I went to play it I got the “do you own this”

That's what is says now. And, "sign into the account you used when purchasing".

There's no customer service number to call anymore. Basically the site says that if the problem persists, you have to buy it again. Which is some legit BS.

Use their online troubleshoot and if there isnt a fix, they'll call back. Not as good as the old customer service but you'll reach someone.

My gut says they'll tell you to uninstall and reinstall from your My Games list.
