I downloaded Guts N Goals for some local multiplayer fun with friends. Every time I’ve had people over we just play Switch games tho lol.

So 0 games played for me.

Yeah, you can’t release a game on GamePass and then wonder why more copies didn’t sell. Why buy what you can already play?

I was thinking of redeeming my Microsoft reward points and getting Ghost Recon Breakpoint… then I took a look at my backlog on Xbox… then the rest of my backlog on Switch and pc… I think I’m good on games for the rest of the year lol.

Rider’s Republic is really fun and picked that.

But I do enjoy some of the Assassins Creed titles (Ezio trilogy, Black Flag, Odyssey).

Also Rayman Legends and Origins are bangers.

I’m currently trying Far Cry 5 as my first Far Cry game… I played a small bit of Primal but not enough to know what the series is.

Fun to go back to for a couple hours but haven’t touched it since the first week it launched. Too many other newer games to play.

I don’t go out of my way to do the achievement stuff, but just from doing the tasks on my phone while I’m the bathroom and opening the rewards app once or twice a week on my Xbox… I usually get about $10-$12 a month.

If I go out of my way to do the monthly challenges, then it’s closer to $14-15. Very solid.

Seems worth a try for me, especially since it’s on Game Pass. I’ll give it a whirl later this month but it seems like it’s fun even if a bit basic or clunky in some ways.

Jeez. Just play the game a few weeks later when it has the features you want in it and let others enjoy it. There are actual other problems in life to worry about.

I’m looking forward to Redfall but it’s never been a game I’ve been dying to play. Just something I’m interested in. I’ll easily be waiting for the 60fps mode.

I only had a 5 day streak but I can confirm mine has been reset.

It looks decent but there are too many other games I’d rather play. Plus with the warmer weather I’ll be gaming less. So unless this comes to gamepass I won’t be playing it for a decent amount of time.

From this list, Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters easy.

I played a round on Pebble Beach and thought it was pretty good. Visuals are great despite some minor glitches. Character models look good but some of the face animations seemed so off. The presentation and commentary is leagues better than 2K's effort.

Once they add the button swing option and fix some of the visual bugs I'll probably be playing this all the time!

“Safety and responsibility was a top priority for us when creating Lego 2K Drive.”

Proceeds to make a system where kids can throw money away easily lol.

This is really cool because most indie titles typically only get Switch and PS4/PS5 physical releases. Hoping good things come from this.

Huh. An online only game with f2p elements that costs $30. If there’s no single player element or at least a local multiplayer mode, then I’ll wait for a HEAVY discount before trying it… or just wait for it to inevitably got f2p.

Or the Activision/Blizzard acquisition lol.

A 60fps update would due just fine as it already looks beautiful with the One X enhancements. They’ll probably make a new version in a couple years for $70 tho. Similar to what they did with GTA V… twice now?

Never played a SMT game. If they hit GamePass I might give one of them a go.

Awesome to hear it’s a lot of fun. I was busy most of the weekend and the free time I did get… I just completely forgot about the beta 😅

Looking forward to the July release!

I'm one of the few people who hadn't played GTA V so when I picked it up on Series X for $10 on Black Friday that was my first experience with the game. Overall, it looks and plays great. Fun game and I get why it's very popular.

Wow, I logged in the minute this review went up lol. Glad it’s just as amazing as we were all hoping. Good review and definitely snagging it sometime this Spring!

So how does this update work? I’m downloading the game now and it doesn’t say it’s Series enhanced. Did they just add extra graphical modes for the new systems?

EDIT: Tried playing and everything works automatically. An automatic 60fps and what appears to be 4K without any settings to toggle. Looked great, I just don’t understand why the game isn’t listed as Series enhanced.

Cool but I’m sad to see Gun Game still missing. It’s the reason I still fire up Vanguard every now and then. They put it in for like 3 weeks then got rid of it. Hate this live-service crap.

The original Bungie games are still the best but I enjoyed Infinite’s campaign probably just as much. It’s just a shame the online multiplayer was rushed and monetized. I haven’t played it in a while but I heard it’s a lot better now.

Forza is the big one for more. I’m also interested in Hellblade 2. Also everyone seems super hyped for Avowed so I’ll give that a good look.

Let’s go. Didn’t even know this event existed but it’s all good news. Sunbreak coming to XBOX. I can play the RE4 demo this weekend.

And EXOPRIMAL IS DAY 1 GAME PASS! Let’s gooooo.

@shoeses Crash Team Racing and Sonic Racing Transformed are still the two best alternatives. Mario Kart is still #1 but I had a lot of fun with those titles.

Awesome to hear. This is shaping up to be a great year for XBOX exclusives:

Hi-Fi Rush, Minecraft Legends (not an exclusive but still a Microsoft game), Redfall, Starfield, Forza Motorsport, STALKER 2... there might even be another game or two I'm missing!

Civ 6 for me (Roman numeral typo should be addressed tho)

Might also check out Ni No Kuni 2.

Love it but I already have 3 Series controllers and One controller. I can easily play 4-player local multiplayer so so need for any more controllers.

Huh. For some reason I didn’t know this was on Game Pass. Will give it a try when I get back from vacation early April.

I didn't even know this event was a thing but Cities Skylines 2 looks amazing. Awesome that it's coming to Game Pass as well!

It’s lame that other developer’s don’t implement this. I remember my friend got Astroneer on Steam and the rest of us with GamePass weren’t able to play with him. They probably use different servers or something but still… it just killed the game for us all. He refunded it on Steam and the rest of us stopped playing it and moved onto other games.

I’d want them to do one of 2 things:

• Make Horizon 6 take place in an unreal location. Like space or something. Or maybe keep it in a real world country but just do crazy stuff like we see in the DLC packs.
• Finally make a Forza Street. And not that free-to-play mobile game. Like a full blown AAA Street Racing game with the physics of the Horizon games.

Huh, I thought this updated version would come to Gamepass. Looks great but not sure when I’ll get around to it.

Purchased the DLC expansion bundle this weekend since I enjoy games like WRC and Dirt. I’ve been very surprised with Hot Wheels expansion… it’s amazing and looks beautiful. Really excited for the next expansion and these new cars!

Looks good. Nothing crazy but seems fun, I'll pick it up when I can get both DLCs bundled together for a cheap price.

They have a talent for making me care less and less each time they show more of the game.

XCOM 2 isn’t showing up on sale for me despite every other game showing the discounts. Which is a shame because at $2.99 I was finally willing to bite.

EDIT: If I hit buy it reflects the $2.99. Sweet.

It’s a great game. Runs great on One X and the Series systems. I would love to see a sequel or a game in the same universe.

Oh I didn’t know Cities Skyline was getting next-gen enhanced AND coming to gamepass. Might give that a go. Love me some good simulation games.

I have the 20th anniversary controller and love it. I also bought a broken Forza Horizon 5 controller to repair but unfortunately couldn't get it to work. I even tried calling some local game/repair shops and they've all been booked and won't take any repairs at the moment lol.

That said, my brother has the Halo Elite 2 controller and that is probably my favorite but it's very close.

I haven't played Madden in such a long time. The last one I bought was.. Madden on the 3DS I think LOL. I did get a couple digital versions for free on PC through Prime Gaming but I didn't play them.

With the Super Bowl this Sunday, and as a long-time Eagles fan, I'll actually give this a download and see if there's an option to play the Super Bowl.

While I mainly play single player games I do really enjoy playing Fall Guys. I really hope it doesn’t suffer the same fate as these titles.

For those that played these titles, it must be really sad news. Hopefully fan servers go up and keep the games functional. I’d love to try them one day but I don’t want to like them and then have the games disappear a month or two later.

I miss the fall guys perks

A- for me. It was amazing for what it was. But any gaming event is more entertaining with more reveals, even with this event not advertising that. Also, no date for Forza was upsetting. But what was shown from all the titles was great.

I’m surprised they didn’t reveal GoldenEye in the Direct. Seems weird to just drop a random announcement for that right before so it gets overshadowed. Anyway, it was great and I’m looking forward to most of the titles.

Stoked to try Hi-Fi Rush this weekend!

@WallyWest Ah, you’re right. I didn’t realize it was coming to Switch and PlayStation as well. Thanks for the heads up.

Sounds like a 9 if you don’t mind the lack of cross-play and cross-progression. I’m very excited to jump back into Monster Hunter as I haven’t played since 4 Ultimate back in 2015… 8 years ago!!!

Forza in March, Minecraft Legends and Redfall sometime in the summer, then Starfield in October, November, or December. Anything else added is just a bonus for me.

Damn, it’s nice to have an assortment of exclusives this year that I’m interested in for the Series X.

I’d swap Sea of Thieves for Psyconauts 2 but otherwise this is a solid list and a fun watch.
