Well, it's like Shenmue. But generally no, not much else like it.
Seriously. I just want to blow up the red stuff!The red stuff is still there, but there's no reason to blow it up anymore! A complete miss of why people liked the other games. :(
FF XV came out this month. Perhaps be patient for another FF title next month.
Me too, pretty stoked.
I don't feel as much value in Yakuza 0 because its been on sale for like, 5 bucks, many times.
So what? We are talking about very old games here. Doing 1 title a month, or even 2 titles a month, is ridiculously slow.
User warned: Hostility
Then get used to it or buy the games. You're not getting more than one per month. They have no reason to blow their load all at once
I do not understand the attitude around here. People are not allowed to have opinions or express what they want out of the game pass all of a sudden without these condescending posts?

You're whining is what doesn't make sense.
Oh but every other page we see people expecting control to be announced. Or complaints about some game is being removed. But me expressing I want more final fantasy... crosses the line? Buzz off.
You're going to get more final fantasy. That's already been confirmed. You're not getting them all at one time or in one month. Get over it.
I want a lot of stuff to be on gamepass as well but i'm not going to throw a tantrum in this thread and annoy everyone else with my personal desires. You can expect whatever you want, if it's going to happen or not is another story. Microsoft made a deal for FF games over 2020 and its pretty clear they're going to spread them through the year, but if you want to complain all year long that it isnt enough, you do you
Dangit. Recently bought it for €8! I knew I shouldn't have doubted GP.
What tantrum? I said my opinion and you are the ones throwing a pissy fit over the fact that I expressed it.
We said our opinion. Now what? You're going to continue setting yourself up for disappointment on expecting something that shouldn't have been expected?
Not super great for me in particular because I already own all those games hahaha.
Super solid if you're not me, though!

That's a crazy good month for me. Especially interested in Two Point Hospital. These games will probably end my RDR2 streak of like a month.
There is only a certain amount of titles, and a certain amount of budget, for the Game Pass games every month. Personally, I think it's great that all FFs and Yakuzas don't drop at once. It gives us a chance to finish the first ones and it gives variation to the GP monthly library. If we got five FFs and three other games during a month then it would be dull for those who don't want JRPGs or FF. Better to try to space it out for the sake of variety in my opinion.
There are similarities in side activities but the core gameplay is absolutely nothing alike.
I disagree. Shenmue is about discovery, searching for a way forward, earning enough money to get past story road blocks etc. It's an asking-for-directions, do-it-your-way sim. In Yakuza, the objective is generally to follow a linear map marker and then watch the story unfold, often partially via a fight. Nothing else matters to the main plot and is optional. Combat also generally has a very small role in Shenmue and you spend way more time practicing it than using it.

Damn good month!
Yakuza 0 probably being the game that drops next week. (Edit: Whoops, month is already over with the upcoming week xD)
Kingdom Hearts 3 right after the other games drop on Xbox? Clever.
Looks like I need a hard drive just for Game Pass games...

That's a strong disagree from me. Went into shenmue expecting to love it since I love yakuza, and it really doesn't translate imo.
My thoughts exactly when I looked at the calender to see when the next batch could be announced for this month. XD
I agree with your disagreement but I think the relationship works the other way around...If you like Shenmue then you'll probably love Yakuza...it's a game many years newer, with a lot more stuff to do, and the controls are probably decent.
Signed up for the service on PC, pretty good for the price. Just finished up Gears 4, a bit underwhelming, but wanted to get caught up before 5. I played 1-3 on 360 when they were released. May take a break before starting 5, 4 was a real drag with weird pacing and a super meh ending. Started Bloodstained and Outer Worlds, both excellent games.
Yeah, and they decided to put Yakuza 0 on the 26th :(
Wish they would have swapped it with Ninja Gaiden tomorrow.
Yep, they were right. This is a really really really good month, holy shit. Ninja Gaiden 2, KH3, FFXV Royal Edition (+ Ardyn Episode), Yakuza 0... That's a lot of japanese awesomeness!!
Great set of games. Can't wait for Yakuza 0. Just finishing up Ori before then in time for Will of The Wisps next month!
Welp y'all were right about Slay the Spire and plague of innocence, so I am looking forward to yakuza. Never played it before.
Short answer is yes, but the series goes so off the rails it's not even worth trying to understand it. You'll miss out on a lot of references, and who characters are. Just enjoy the gameplay and set pieces and Disney (Ba-la-la-la-la~)
The game does have a "summary" section that briefly goes over previous games, and it has a sort of "datalog" you can review as you play the game.
