More Vampire Survivors content? For free?! Hell yeah!
Katana Zero DLC is actually real!? That made this whole thing worthwhile. Eternal Life looks good too
What? @FraserG is Moonlighter 2 launching as an early access title, meaning it will go to game preview first?
A lot of good looking games.
Got my eyes on Moonlighter 2, Sacrifire, Katana Zero DLC, Goldman, Neverway, Over the Hill, The Alters, Duskfade, Morbid Metal, Into the Fire, BlazBlue EE, Ikuma, Opus, Necesse, No I'm Not Human & Escape Sim 2
I really want the Alters to be really good… rooting for that one… Moonlighter 2 could be great… most looked really interesting
With the exception of Vampire Survivors a whole lot of nothing for me personally. 1 out of 12 is better than nowt I guess.
Keep the shovelware coming, it's making my decision to unsub and pick up the 2 worthwhile playing games MS release every 6 years in a sale.
@Kaloudz It seems so? That's what it's suggesting in the description at least...
@Valhura Shovelware like Call of Duty, Indiana Jones, South of Midnight and Expedition 33? You rehearse that comment ahead of time in Pushsquare?
Update: The team behind Moonlighter 2 has reached out to us to confirm the "early access" mention at the Triple-I Initiative showcase was incorrect. There's your answer @Kaloudz
@FraserG I read the first reply and my heart sank, I read the second reply and I don't know whether I want to kiss you, or them
Thanks for the clarification bud! I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel. It's one of the best games out there imo.
@Trmn8r indiana jones is a huge step down from machine games previous work. South of Midnight is a maybe a step up from shovel ware but it is one tiny step up, it's repetitive and runs like dog crap, let's not mention COD since they jacked the price of the service up annually by the cost of COD. What I mean by shovelware is they dont seem to give crap about quality. The last Halo and Forza games were shadows of their former glory even though both games had their longest dev cycles in their franchise history. Then we have redfall and the disastrous Flight sim 24. I am also sick to death of all the ***** cartoony graphics games, avowed, SOM and soon Outerworlds2. Could Xbox not have bought Remedy who at least know how to do realistic graphics
@Trmn8r also not sure what your reference to push square is about, as far as I know that is a PS focused site, I currently only use an XSX, and I do not need your permission to voice my concern that the quality of gamepass games is reducing as is the quantity. But hey that's my perception and opinion if you feel otherwise I am happy for you.
@Valhura Lol, as if I said anywhere that you needed my permission. Disagreeing with you isn't restricting your speech. But nice victim play there... I don't think everything sucks like you seem to so I'm sharing my opinion too. If you want to buy a console and get a new game once every 3 years for it, you do you.
@Trmn8r last I checked MS are not the only company releasing games for xbox. So not sure why I would have to wait until MS release a good game for me to get one. Though with MS removing most reasons to buy an Xbox, MS will soon be the only major publisher willing to release content for a future Xbox that might do WiiU sales figures.
