Without this forum or seeing it via Wario64, I would have had no idea this game was coming out at all for consoles, much less XBOX.

Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Total War: Three Kingdoms, Naraka: Bladepoint, Far Cry 5, and More
- Thread starter --R

The big question is if they added controller support to the Shadowrun PC games.
Unfortunately I haven't read anything about them doing so. And given that it's a Paradox game they always give the big finger to their PC versions when they have fully functional controller interfaces in their console releases.

It's a fantastic game to start with. It has the best QOL of a Total War game, and the emergent story telling is excellent. They also built systems to avoid the middle-to-late game ending up being a slog. Imo the best Total War game ever released. The only negative would be some lack of unit variety between factions.
Eh. A big heap of shrug for me. I will note I see Last Stop in the leaving soon section so maybe I should finally bring myself to play through it.
The lack of a surprise indie or two is a bit disappointing. (And yes I know Omori released but I cant bring myself to play through something like that subject and tone-wise at the moment. Don't think I'm quite up for anything like that right now).

With Shadowrun, I recommend beginning with the best one: Dragonfall, and then doing Hong Kong (which is only a little less good and some people prefer it actually) afterwards if you still need more Shadowrun. And then doing the original if you still need more Shadowrun after that.
The games are also 32-bit only (which was a weird choice for games coming out in the early 00s; 64-bit was pretty widespread at that point).
You not wanting to play it doesnt mean there wasnt one. Omori is a big surprise indie get the same way (and probably fits the "surprise" part better than anything else before since it basically popped out of nowhere with little fanfare). Plus, TMNT is getting great scores all around, so how doesnt it count either
Thanks , I'll check it out, been meaning to try the series out. Just didn't want to jump in with the wrong game, think its boring and then write off the series for years before trying it again.
More Total war coming to PC pass is cool, not super fussed on the others. Already completed Far Cry 5 and I don't care for football games.
If the GP version of Bladepoint has the campaign mode, I might give that a go though.

Yep,played them on PC(they made 3),in fact I think I have the last one they made,which was Hong Kong I believe and never played that one.
Another Shadowrun fan here. If you don't have much free time, start with Dragonfall, as others suggested, but all three games are great.
RE: Three Kingdoms....is it the best "new-to-Total-War" game for people to learn? I have most of the games in the series, never played them at all, but really want to give Warhammer 2 and 3 a go. They feel very open ended games and I'm very much a "tutorial --> single player campaign/story/narrative" person so I haven't felt like there's been a good place to jump in to experience that.
I remember playing Shadowrun, but so long ago I cant tell if it was good or not. the others are a little meh
Long shot - were you thinking of Genshin Impact?
Well I meant more specifically new reveals today. Without those two on the list it does leave things looking more sparse than it really should.
Played the insider test on Xbox for Naraka, it's a really fun take on BR's.
The combat and movement is amazing and pairs really well with controller, however the UI is very clunky to use at the moment and that's probably the biggest issue right now. Cant wait to hop back in for more tonight.

Maybe I'll peek at it then.
Finally some fakin footy
I don't know what to think of this picture, and I've been staring at it for a minute :/
Yes, I would say it is one of the best entry points to the series.
The whole franchise is by it's very nature a very open and player driven experience, but Three Kingdoms does a good job of weaving a narrative into the middle.
I agree, although I have a gaming pc. I just don't want to use it.
Gameplay is fun, the story is a disappointment. Should make for a good Game Pass game.
Is anyone else not able to start game pass games? When I look at the game pass app it says 'join ultimate' but I checked in account and my membership is still active. Guess there's an outage again.
It's actually been a very decent month for Game Pass this month but it's very odd how they put out the Game Pass announcement this week, (when there are less games to advertise), when they should have made the post last week (when they could have included Turtles and Omori).
It's a time honored tradition dating back decades for EA to release last gen versions of their sports games on PC.
It's fun but formulaic? A great gamepass game. I say that as someone who beat it and enjoyed it but felt it had plenty of flaws.
Oh woah I didn't even think about that...
Maybe it got secretly pushed to early july?
It's listed as July 13th on Steam.
Just saw another post on their Instagram page and they're listing it for July 14th
I don't know if you've checked since but they're live now!
You'd think with the lack of first party this year that MS would actually put some more effort into Game Pass this year. Guess not.
I wished Farcry 5 had a 60fps patch like Ubisoft did with AC Origins & Odyssey.
FPS boost is good but you also lose a lot of the resolution. The rest of this GP list is not that great outside of Shadowrun and Naraka but TMNT & Omori were also this month so those boosted it.

No, this is only the case for maybe the first 2 releases in a new console gen. After that, they are the same as the console releases and generally look and perform better.
