Re: Yoku's Island Express
Probably a couple hours. The initial NPCs, gameplay mechanics and setting just didn't appeal to us much. It seemed to us like moving around the world via pinball was not going to be diverse or interesting enough to be fun as non-pinball plans and I thought it would be too difficult to aim the ball where I wanted it go. We dropped the demo partway through on Switch and tried the game again on XB1 a few months later. I'm glad to say I was wrong about all of that. Pinballing is super fun, fresh and creative. I totally got the hang of aiming (though there is one pretty tricky late-game mechanic). The NPCs and settings after the initial area were much more interesting to me than the first one. The gameplay mechanics themselves feel smooth, the pseudo-platforming is really tight, and the exploration of the world is incredibly fun and rewarding. The various secrets are compelling and intriguing.
My first impression was totally wrong and I'm very glad to say that, it was one of my favorite games I played this year.

Anyone in here playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on an Xbox One S? Curious about performance after the DF videos.
Might just get Sekiro instead.
Plz halp.

With Game Pass coming to Xcloud in the future, do you think it's safe to assume that everyone with Game Pass ultimate will be able to stream the games not available on their platform? Age of Empires got me thinking about getting a PC...but I'm waiting for clarification regarding streaming options.
As an aside, Remnant is really working for me. Originally uninstalled it...but decided to give it another chance the next day. For some reason the gameplay was calling me back. I don't think it looks particularly interesting. The writing is not good. Don't like the randomness. The gameplay is pretty good though. I dig the Dark Souls with guns mix. Franchise has real potential.

Wrong thread ;)
This is the main Xbox OT: https://www.resetera.com/threads/xbox-game-studios-ot6-im-back-to-rise.132019/
Rare Replay collection is completely clogging up my game library. I'm guessing it's not safe to delete any of the instances that appear? As well as there being an overall Rare Replay icon, there is an icon for every game, sometimes 2....
xCloud uses Xbox Console hardware in the datacenter. Age of Empires is not on Console. So, don't get your hopes up that AOE will be streaming to your phone through xCloud anytime soon.
I'm disappointed tbh. MS pushed mouse and keyboard support for Xbox and their own titles don't support it? Or is it because controller support is mandatory?
It's a horribly messy install from the user perspective. I understand why it ended up that way, but it would be great if it could be self contained.
There is a difference between supporting M&KB and releasing a game which requires I guess. For AoEIV at least they have said they want to get the PC version done and then look at what they can do to adapt to a controller interface for X1. So maybe in the future.
Thats just streaming console games to windows 10. Not pc games. (it will get there eventually, but won't be any time soon.)
after you sign up, click on the home discord button, it gives you a code for either 3 months PC or Xbox, which converts to 2 months ultimate, if you have that.
Thanks! Gives me hope. I'd like to see k/m only games be available outside of high end PC rigs. If not through console then through streaming. Another game changer.
You need an Xbox and Ultimate to access the Discord Nitro promo unfortunately although Discord are saying this is "at this point in time" so it could potentially change.

This is so frustrating. I want to extend my gamepass PC subscription at the $4.99/month price (or really whatever the price is). I go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/x...beta/cfq7ttc0kgq8?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
And I try to extend, and I get an 'offer not available.' So um, how do I give MS my money?

I just started playing Subnautica last night and am really enjoying it so far. I felt a little lost but then looked up a couple getting started guides, and they set me into the right mindset.
finally snatched Remnant.
Kinda hate the aesthetic of the cliche old brown & grey gritty apocalypse thing. But everything else im liking. Controls feel good

Not on pc but the Xbox version has pretty noticeable input lag or like a really big dead zone or something. You playing with controller?
I am - but after reloading the game it seems to have gone away. Just weird first time install stuff, I guess.
You can switch to manual camera if you didn't realize. It makes it better...but the game just still feels off compared to the better 3D platformers.
Dang, Remnant is pretty slick. Good controls, guns feel good and some good enemy variety. I remember there being lots of Dark Souls comparisons but honestly feels more like a Diablo game.
Except theres barely any loot, the loot there is is crafted from boss items like dark souls, it's a third person shooter and not a top down action rpg, but sure, let's say it's more like Diablo :p
I recommend Remnant, and having got most of the way through would say it does do the Souls-shooter thing pretty well. There is no dropping of currency when you die and the levels are randomly created rather than hand crafted, but aside from the boss battles they have captured a souls feel many other copies miss. That is in the mystery and unknown, you find small areas which are not explained and it's obvious what you should do. At the same time it also finds some identity of it's own. It's not perfect, and the randomness can cause some nasty difficulty spikes, but it's a great game overall.
It is Dark Souls with guns and without the interconnected world.
is this for NA only? I cant find this "discord banner" on my EU gamepass screen
Looking at the small print Discord Nitro codes are avaible to Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, UK and US. So it might be possible to change EU region to get access to the codes.

Rage has some sort of sound bug, I take it? Three times I've been playing and all the music, dialogue - everything just cuts. I need to start another game in order for it to fix itself.
Back to Star Wars it is.

Didn't enjoy my time with Remnant, it has low budget and janky written all over it, but the real stinker is Rage 2. Holy shit this game is bad. I was really excited to try this game out but I'm having a hard time finding anything to like about it. Maybe one of them grow on me but so far Afterparty is far and away the best of the latest Gamepass drops.
I'm still early on in remnant and struggling on the third, optional, boss.
I have like two strata left to try and perfect but if I can't get it after that, I'm not sure what I'll do.
The game feels a lot more focussed on movement, dodging and tactics, rather than hitting 360 no scope headshots.
The sniper is damn satisfying though!

Since I was also confused on how to redeem the bonuses, here's some photos on how to do so on a Xbox One.
4 player Dungeon crawler, themed around the Munchkin card game, by asmodee digital.
I'm playing shadow of the tomb raider at 60 fps. It's a pleasant surprise being able to play at this frame rate. Outside of the cities it plays most of the time at 60fps. In the cities it's a bit bad but i can live with that. 30fps seemed a bit janky, more than normal, maybe because of input lag, I don't know.
Even though I'm liking the platform I wish I had a bit more of combat. It's completely different from the other two in that regard

2 years in a row...I buy the big AAA games of the Fall and find myself playing Indie or AA games on Game Pass instead. It's like going to a buffet and finding out that one of the dishes is perfect for you even if you can see it's not going to be top tier for everyone else.
Remnant isn't perfect. The writing isn't good. The aesthetic is kind of boring to look at. But man..it's the perfect mix of shooting and Soulsbourne...2 of my favorite gameplay types. If it doesn't bog down with anything terrible halfway through, it might end up in my top 5 games played this year. Jedi FO is good but Remnant has been more addictive and pulled me away.
