@themightyant Maybe and I would not mind that, but I don't know what is going to happen to the game club if a lot of people here seem to be unsubscribing and not renewing their sub when it expires. I'll probably do that deal with Ultimate for $1.00 for 14 days maybe this month or the next (depending on what game we will play) but after the 14 days expire I don't think I will resubscribe for a while unless positive changes are made, which I am so doubtful will happen.
Game Pass seems to be constantly changing and getting price hikes all the time. The price hike just came at the wrong time since I was going to resubscribe to Console soon, but they said that you can't use it anymore unless you still have it active, and the Standard sub isn't available on the store yet, so you have no choice but to either get Ultimate or PC at the moment. There is a report (emphasis on "report") that said day one games are going to come to the Standard sub, but not immediately and only after some time passes after the day one games' release. Game Pass does seem cheap at first, but the sub gets so expensive the more time passes. Why is it that Microsoft makes one good move and follows it up with a poor move?

@Pastellioli Sorry to hear you missed on Game Pass for Console, it really is the FOMO edition, if you weren't subscribed by the time they announced it you are screwed. I know a few people who have stacked it for 3 years to avoid the price hike for now. I'm stacked on Ultimate for 3 years too as of last week as I knew price rises were inevitable, though I didn't expect them to be so soon. I also didn't expect them to change it to 13 months max to stack going forward either.
Completely agree Microsoft can't stop shooting themselves in the foot. Usually when you announce some bad news like a price hike you at least TRY and justify it by saying you are making the service better in some way, they didn't do any of that. I do wonder whether they felt their hand was forced by the leaks and rumours and they had to escalate plans, but I doubt it they just seem really poor at communication at times. Ho hum. Two steps forward one step back with Microsoft, or sometimes vice versa.
@ralphdibny Have you played Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture? I loved that one. Dear Esther is brilliant too. I need to get round to Machine for Pigs someday.
Hello mate, sorry for the late reply. I've been snowed under!
I haven't played Rapture no, but I feel like it might have been a PS Plus game at some point so I'll have to give it a go if it's still on my PS4. To be honest, I think in the deluge of ps plus games, I may have got it confused with the deadly tower of monsters which I did have a go on and it wasn't exactly my thing 😅. So I didn't realise everybody's gone to the rapture was of similar ilk to dear Esther and machine for pigs which normal definitely my thing (short, simple and hopefully easy 😅)
Hoping all is well! Going to try and start still wakes the deep in the next week or so
Powered through about 2hrs last night. I'm pretty sure I'm in the closing moments of the game( maybe 30-40 min left). More of the same but I do like I'm seeing. Definitely some claustrophobic moments, especially terrifying when being chased. The only bothersome part about the game is on the S at least, moving fast is quite blurry. Glad it's only a 5hr game though with how dark, claustrophobic, and how much running and hiding you have to do. Not sure I'd be able to handle this for say, 10hrs.
@ralphdibny Ah no worries pal, hope you’re doing well too.
That’s some confusion haha I think you might be correct on the plus inclusion, it was the title that outside of Phantom Pain and Fallout 4 convinced me to finally upgrade to PS4 in ‘15, I wasn’t disappointed.
I’d love to hear your thoughts when you get round to it.
We’re playing The Plucky Squire this month, join us!
Hello lovely people! The month is coming to its end and while we all still want to "hear" your thoughts on the current game it is definitely time to close the decision for next month.
So far we have a couple of votes on Conker's and a single on the Quarry.
Personally I am going to add also a vote to Conker's bad fur day as it not only a game I have nostalgia from back in the day but also q game I own from Rare Replay (as I am, from next month forward, no longer automatically subscribed to GP)
Might not place a vote this month. Looks like conker has it locked in. I did however finish still wakes the deep. It was good enough. Glad I didn't buy it though. Some terrifying moments for sure, but part of the problem is not being able to see everything going on. It doesn't make it scary, just frustrating. The big thing it had going for it was feeling like a sequel to The Thing.
I finished Still Wakes the Deep again. Like @NintendoByNature I am glad I played it, there was just enough I enjoyed, but also glad I didn't pay for it. I'm not sure I have a whole lot to say to write one of my longer reviews that I haven't already said in comments above.
My rating: 6.5/10
@Balta666 I also won't vote this month as I'm on holiday and won't have time to play anything.
It is once again time for nostalgia as we will be entering the crass and drunkish world of Conker's bad fur day!
The original version is available on GP through Rare Replay (or you can dust off your N64!). Conker: live and Reloaded is available as backwards compatible from the OG Xbox and has been given on games with gold in the past (these games are not taken from your library even if you unsubscribe).

Oh dear, I have committed the most cardinal of sins and not played the game that I voted for 😱. I have broken my own rules but I have had way too much on this month. I still plan to play it though.
Anyway, I will make myself useful and change the thread title!
