i feel like i'm an different universe with all the 'small games' talk and Two Point Campus day 1 is right there lol
This is me with Turbo Golf Racing lol. Also Tinykin later in the month
Not a third person adventure game so it doesn't count sorry
most folks are subbed for years, so just work on your backlog, every sub service will have slow months. :)
The world is already in a crap place, I tend to nowdays just try to be more positive about things and appreciate what I have, like even if they posted games I hated, I tend to just shrug it off and move on and not dwell on it. I know people pay for this stuff and that's why I say just cancel it until something good comes around. It only takes like 2-3 AAA game purchases to make it worth while and I find it hard to believe that out of 400+ games plus new ones each month people can't find something worth playing.
Yup so much backlog, I don't think it's even possible that people don't have some sort of backlog haha unless you game like 11 hours a day every day of the week or only like one game.
Xbox is basically doing everything they can to make PC Gamepass successful, except for the really important step of having a dedicated engineering team to add features and make it less shit the same way they do on console. They will spend millions on deals with Riot and picking up random PC-only indie titles but won't put any effort into PC Gamepass games having glaring bugs that aren't on the version you'd get from Steam, or games installing themselves twice, or adding features that are at the very least on-parity with what the base Xbox One can do.
Ohhh I forgot that as a fan we should NEVER criticize the things that we like. Sorry for that.
Gezzzz chill out dude, it's a bad start for the month and that's a fact. Just because I like the service this will not change, and yes, let me tell you, because I think this is news for you. We SHOULD criticize what we like, so they can improve.
But yeah, go into twitter to say this is a marvelous start of month for GamePass...

Rolling out more monetisation in Halo at this point in time would be a moronic decision. They can't possibly be that oblivious to player sentiment around the game.
Specially when Two Point Hospital was super successful on Gamepass:
When we last spoke, Two Point Hospital was yet to release, and today it's a proven hit. The company initially set a 650,000 sales target, but it has already brought in five million players. Some of that is down to Xbox Game Pass, where the game continues to be popular.
"We're on the third sign up phase on Game Pass," Carr says. "Our unique user monthly rate is so high, [Xbox] keep coming back and saying 'please stay on'.
"I think people get round to a game like Two Point Hospital. It's not necessarily a day one purchase. Players will get to it, but maybe after Assassin's Creed. We've had a really interesting three and a half years to get to that number.
Two Point Campus is going to be huge.
Console version of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl leaked online
The blogger who posted the build online claims that GSC Game World is working on a console port in parallel with STALKER 2. The development of the console version of “Shadows of Chernobyl” was announced by the blogger nevajno1kto, and posted assembly to the network. The game is made on a...

If true I don't know how the consoles would handle it 😅
That's just not true though. That's not something you can define as a fact at all. For me it's a solid start, because I got two day one games I wanted to try.
Feel free to criticize and complain, but calling it a fact that it was bad is just objectively false.
I think that's something we often forget.
Behind the scenes Xbox is making a lot of deals to renew the Game Pass contracts for a lot of titles.
I expected a lot of titles to leave GP this year but they're still here, more than a year after release. It's cool.
Mmhm. And I'd be happier with both Epic and Xbox if they both just gave up with making a service and put their games on somewhere decent.
I honestly tolerate Xbox's issues less because they have a gaming console that I know has the features I want. Why can't I Remote Play PCGP games when someone on Xbox can do that? Why isn't there a huge Xbox-branded gaming suite, with a launcher and overlay that's all controller-compatible? Why is Xbox pretending that PC gaming is a big deal for them while also never investing anything into it? Why are there more mobile-centric Xbox accessories than PC ones? Where's my fuckin' Xbox-designed mouse and mechanical keyboard that works with your proprietary dongle, Xbox???
The last bit's a joke, but it isn't a joke that Xbox cares more about mobile and cloud gaming than PC. Which is kinda dumb when one takes way less effort to improve upon.
The best thing about the Activision acquisition is that they can now kill the Xbox PC app and use Battle Net as a replacement.
Thing is, they can't do that, because they rely on using the Microsoft Store backend, which is used for Xbox too. Presumably games on PC-Xbox and Actual-Xbox use the same data warehouse, which streamlines things like cross-buy for games.
Xbox's top priority is supporting their consoles in their service for people that don't have their consoles. I dislike Epic, but at least they actually made a PC gaming service for people who do PC gaming.
Spoilers: they gonna do the opposite.
As for the Game Pass drop, it's a fact that console players are getting less for more. We are paying for online multiplayer and getting 4 console games. Huge difference from previous years.
MS priority is PC and it shows. They even had a whole section for Riot games in their show, none for consoles lol.
That would great, i want every bit of Starfield info they are ready to give!! ;)
January: Mass Effect Legendary Edition
February: Madden NFL 22
March: Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
April: MLB: The Show 22
May: Trek To Yomi / Citizen Sleeper
June: FIFA 22 / FarCry 5
July: PowerWash Simulator
Dunno but I can't stop think August is the weak start of all of those months.
just for fun i checked the games added on the first two weeks of august in 2021 and 2020 and i think today's the best one or at least its up there.

2021 Hades drop was amazing. Then Katamari and two Skate games. Idk what's so good about this drop.
I think Redfall will hit the first half of the year. I don't believe Starfield is launching until Fall
Despite being featured as games in the next 12 months from the showcase 🤔
Redfall February, Starfield May maybe June.
Forza Motorsport either march or april

Hades alone is better than anything recently. Also, it's the drop in console games that is clearly obvious.
Who actually believes this lmao
Also i've heard Starfield seems to be having some scope creep issues right now.
Ain't no way they're adding on scope to the game at this stage.
Not adding, they're having issues taking away.
Like how Infinite had to severely cut back the open world.
They're expanding the space flight controls per Hevy's disappointment.
/s
People were hoping the same would happen after the Bethesda acquisition, that Microsoft would drop the Xbox app for the Bethesda launcher. What happened instead was that Bethesda killed their launcher and migrated everyone to Steam.
They still operate relatively independent from Microsoft and XGS, despite being part of the same family, and the same will be true for Activision, I'm sure.
And where did you hear this?
....... two point campus?
that's far better than katamari and skate lol
hades does rule, though. was my 2020 goty, but i played it on pc before coming to consoles.
pretty sure we have known about the scope issues since before the showcase because of schreier's comments
I feel like most people believe it... Why wouldn't you? Redfall seems to be in a pretty good place based on everything they're showing and Todd was pretty dead set on the 2022 November release date for Starfield. Do you really think these games need an extra year?
i didnt like hades basically at all so the best game there for me was dodgeball academia, which is an alright game. i expect two point campus to be good so at the very least it evens out personally. man of medan and darksiders genesis were pretty cool.
Yup, it's been pc pc pc for a while now.
We also see games like Ara ( I think this is the name), AoE, Flight Sim, Gears tactics all pc first. I bet we will never see a console first game.
