Xbox Game Pass - PC And Ultimate - News, Stuff And Recommendations

Every time they have one of these months where it looks like there's no obvious big games but there's a handful of Day 1 Indies, I find a gem or two. Wouldn't count out the month based on lack of name recognition. I'm also hearing good things about the Artful Escape.
 
Is this person stupid? For starters, it was obvious what Smart Delivery was. Secondly, the PS5 stuff and smart delivery have litterally nothing to do with each other. Smart delivery isn't protected from those Sony screw ups if third parties take the same approach.

The real difference here is Sony trying to milk every last penny and MS just giving it for free. Even in the store the MS First Party Games are actually cheaper than the 60 standard while Sony charge 70.
 
I saw that Forza Motorsport 7 is leaving Game Pass soon. Has a first-party title left GP before? Seems odd.
 
When you hop back and forth between XSX & PS5 like myself and many other gamers do the differences are highlighted to a great degree. On Xbox gamers don't have to worry about downloading the wrong version of a game and game saves easily synch up from the Cloud for old games that have been upgraded.

On the Sony side of things its not so simple and in some cases a convoluted process. Sony's software engineers really missed the boat when it comes to ease of use. Aside from the above mentioned add in the time consumer process in updating a game where a small patch is downloaded in seconds but we still have to wait for its be copied which is annoying.

However, Sony is getting better and their DualSense controller is a gamer changer. If you haven't gamed with it I can understand the skepticism or that type of feedback may not be your thing. But for most, its a great evolution of controller feedback which adds a lot more depth to the games that use it well.

Forza 7 to my knowledge is being completely delisted because of licenses. Meaning it won't be available for purchase at all soon.
 
I was told its because of the car licenses that expire...something like Halo will never leave.

I know these aren't the triple A titles people are expecting, but some are still fun to play. I saw I Am Fish on stream and it looked like a fun title to spend some time with.

Oh...Tainted Grail is good. I got it for Steam and had lots of fun with it. Style is nice.
 
Aragami 2 is sitting on 71 after a few reviews, looks like the reviews praise the powers, stealth gameplay and co-op while repetitive missions, dumb ai, glitches and some graphics bring the game down.

Co-op is a definite yes from my, but stealth gameplay have hurt EVERY game that isn't a pure stealth game for me since mgs 1. It (and the motion sickness) destroyed RE7 for me and made me stop playing RE Village when I met that freak baby. Stealth just isn't fun, it's bearable if there's a sniper rifle present but anything else is just s***ty in a videogame imo.
 
Played and finished omno the other day, great little quick game and easy 1000 gamerscore, loved the music and atmosphere, highly recommend.

Yep, just finished it. Great little game with a huge heart to it. I put it up there with something like Journey.
 
Aragami 2 is very good. The combat is tough and brutal, the movement is excellent and the stealth is super fun,

Yea I played a couple campaign levels but not co-op yet, I reckon it will be a blast. Games a bit rough around the edges, the IGN review I felt was pretty rough and not in line with the others and now the game is getting bashed because of it.

the art style and menus are a bit rough alright but the combat is smooth as anything I’ve played im this style. Surprised it’s getting bashed. It’s a quality game.

did a few coop missions with randoms. It’s great when the other players want to play it right.
