New additions to October Xbox Game Pass for Console: Dishonored 2, Fallout: New Vegas, World War Z, Panzer Dragoon Orta and More
- Thread starter Gowans
- Start date
Holy fucking shit, how can GP keep killing it???? World War Z? I was THIS close a month or two ago to buying that.
Okay, what about PC?
So annoying they keep announcing these separately, Game Pass PC is starting to feel like a second-class service which is super disappointing.
It's also really surprising how many people (on a forum like this) still don't know that Outer Worlds is coming to Game Pass.

This.
And this.
Also worth pointing out that Dishonoured 2 got a massive upgrade on the X, so if you originally played it on the OG Xbox One and have since picked up an X, play it again.
Yooka-Laylee is definitely worth giving a try everyone. It's not excellent but there aren't many of its kind nowadays and I feel that its shortcomings are more than a little overblown by disappointed backers who were obviously very invested.
It's a good 3D platformer.

I guess the PC lineup is usually a few games less than the console one. Announcing them at different times stops those easy comparisons and doesn't make PC Game Pass look so bad. If you see a list of 10 games coming to Game Pass for console and only 5 of them are hitting PC then it's not a great look. Announcing PC a week later or so with it's own announcement might be a smarter PR tactic.
Dead annoying though. It's got well confusing since they started splitting up announcements (even for console you get two a month or whatever now).
Dishonored 2, one of my top games from this generation.
If you haven't played DIshonored 2, play it, give it a chance. It has some of the best level design from any game that I've ever played.

I think they separated them as when they were combines there was a tonne of confusion or why is this here, of this isn't on this one.
Anyway PC is normally pretty soon after.
Do you mean The Outer Worlds?
If you do mean Outer Wilds, where are you seeing that?
This is just nuts!
I wonder if they will start selling a premium edition where these games stay on the service for longer - it's going to take me literally 6 months to give all the games just announced a decent try out, and that's ignoreing the 10-15 games i already have on my MUST PLAY backlog...

I'm trying to spread the good word. I just love that series so much.
It's a modern Left 4 Dead without the brand, but with a lot of improvements on the L4D formula. No singleplayer campaign, but you can play the missions with three bots if you want. (You shouldn't.)
Off the top of my head, the big one is NG Black, plus LEGO Indy, and like one or two others the I can't think of right now.
Edit: unless of course you mean in November lol, then I'unno.
Actually, they seem to be changing this, the mod part at least. Dirt Rally 2.0 installed into a folder called "ModifiableWindowsApps" for me, and I didn't need to do any permission trickery to open it and or read files etc. MS's dev docs say it's some kind of virtual copy that allows modding?
How necessary is it to have played Dishonored 1 prior to jumping in on 2?
Dishonored 2 looks absolutely fucking stupid good on X if you guys were wondering, well worth your time:
I've been wanting to get into this game for a while, looking forward to it!
Dream scenario is The Outer Worlds on XGP has cross-save with the upcoming Switch port. I'd gladly start it now.
But as it stands, there's just too much to play at the moment.
Panzer Dragoon Orta and Dishonored 2 is great though.

Not at all necessary. The story will seem super cheesy (and it *is* cheesy regardless), but the game basically sets up everything you need to know in the first 2 seconds
Basics of DIshonored:
You're the royal protector for the empress of this London-esque city state in a 19th century-like world. The empress is murdered in the first moments of the game and her daughter -- the future empress -- is kidnapped, by assailants who have magic-like powers. You're charged with the crime of murdering the empress and you get pulled into a royal conspiracy of over-throwing the empress. Along the way, you also get magic-like powers; You discover the roots of the conspiracy, meet some allies and foes along the way (who return for Dishonored 2), rescue the princess, and she rightly assumes the throne.
Dishonored 2 starts with the princess now being empress, and she is visited by a visitor she's not expecting. The game gives you the choice to control the character from Dishonored 1 or the empress, and away you go.
...
There's shit that happens in between, characters that you meet in Dishonored 2 who are in Dishonored 1, characters referenced, the origins of your magic powers, etc., but you can basically just play through without picking those all up. Also the Dishonored 1 DLC directly leads into the Dishonored 2 story, but it's the same deal. It'll just seem a little cheesy, but that's all. TBH, the main storyline in Dishonored 1 & 2 is cheesy, it's the side stuff, the world building, the side characters, etc., that I think are the best story telling aspects of it.

Cool. Thanks for the recap.
Will definitely download and check out 2.
This reminded me to check my current subscription status for Outer Worlds. I bought 2 months for 2$ in the beginning of September for Gears 5 and my subscription management page says it will auto renew on December 12 for some reason. Did MS randomly give me an extra month+a few days?
Lots of good games, excited for this month. Certainly seems like every Bethesda game outside of Skyrim goes on Gamepass so I'm sure it's a matter of time before Rage 2 and Youngblood get added. Maybe they can be big November and December additions.
