Funny story about me completely misunderstanding MS with the Xbox...

I just sold my Series X because I wasn't using it much other than to play Fallout 76 and I have a One X that will play it almost just as well. The only game I was looking forward to was The Medium and I thought, oh I can just play that on my One X. I thought there weren't going to be any Series S/X exclusives for 2 years! Oops.

I do have a PC and I'll try it on that, but I guess I missed some MS communication somewhere. Now I need to see what other games will be Series S/X exclusives.
That was only for first-party games. And even them, it was more of a soft guideline than a hard rule, they said "1 or 2 years, we think".

I hope The Medium is good. Ive always been too chickenshit to play true horror games but since this one has the novelty of being the first XSX/XSS exclusive game maybe ill give it a shot.

For someone with zero exposure to the Yakuza games, where would be a good place to start?

Story wise 0 is a prequel to the first game but in terms of gameplay i think it would be better to play 1 before 0 since it's kinda a simple remaster. If you play 0 first and then the 1, first game's gameplay will be kinda bland after 0.

with regards to this comment

I haven't been following the series very carefully. Will they be spinning up with a new agent for Hitman 4? Any rumors?

Assuming you meant to post this in the Hitman 3 thread (you're in the Game Pass thread!) but, to quickly answer the question, I think IOI have said that this is the last game in this 'trilogy' of Hitman games and it's the last Hitman game for a while. They're off to make Bond.

Count me in with the people who've been waiting for desperados 3. I got so close to buying it over the Christmas sale.

I've only heard good things and loved playing games like commandos and hidden and dangerous as a kid. It would be great if they added touch controls to the cloud version. I'm not sure why they don't use the generic overlay as touch controls for every game on cloud.

Also if anyone realized, they low key changed the cloud tags from "Android" to "Cloud"...so possibly coming to iOS/PC soon? Because before this the other Game Pass announcements said Android instead of just Cloud

And for someone who played just yakuza 0, what game should I play next that will be on game pass?

Kiwami. That's the next game chronologically and also the game they realised next after Yakuza 0.

It's a remake of PS2 game Yakuza 1 so you'll feel the difference coming off of 0 (a much newer game). It's more serious. The series hadn't fallen into the clearly humourous side of it quite so much at that point. But it's still great!

Yes it was already the case with the previous drop. The Xbox Wire article still talks about Android, but the picture now shows "cloud" wich is a lot better. xCloud support on iOS/PC is scheduled for spring 2021.

They've been using "Cloud" since around the end of 2020.
But it is kind of shocking that it's not up and running on Windows yet.

Phew, 7 games extra for me to play! Hopefully the Yakuza games stay on there for a looong time. Still playing kiwami 2, and no intention to rush. I'm beginning to have a weird kind of fomo, want to play so much, but there is no time!

Hell yeah, Desperados III.

Was hovering around that game for a while. Super excited!

PC Game Pass is pretty amazing for strategy games.

Question:
Is there a way to stream the games in my Xbox (like I do with PS Now) instead of having to download/install?

It's super handy to try games out when I don't have much hdd free space.

But I can't seem to find how to stream besides on Android.

For me, Gamepass is the best reason that Series X is my main console rather than PS5. Never ending backlog lol.

Kind of a bummer FF15 is leaving before all the others get on. The promise of having the whole series there playable at once seemed cool. But I guess we're getting that with Yakuza now instead. Genuinely curious how many eyes Game Pass has brought to that franchise.

I mean, it was explicitly announced as being next gen-only lol, so I think it's more you just didn't really play attention.

Looking forward to trying Desperados 3. I bought Shadow Tactics a few months ago on PS4 and I didn't quite like it, mostly because I found playing a real time tactics on a controller difficult.

So many games, So little time 😢

Right there with you. When I was a kid I'd have never dreamed I'd have so many games available at my fingertips and yet I barely get any time to play during the week, even in lockdown.

Back in the day I'd squeeze dry any NES game I could get my hands on.
