Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Xbox Games Showcase 2022?

Seen some very surprising and nice looking games!

  • Cocoon
  • Pentiment
  • The Last Case of Benedict Fox
  • Starfield
  • Forza Horizon 5 DLC and Forza Motorsport
  • Ravenlok!!!

Sad to see that Diablo IV won’t be on Game Pass, however, and the lack of Halo Infinite coop gameplay isn’t promising.

Re: Forza Horizon 5's First Expansion Has Leaked On The Steam Store

Noooo!

Really hoped for something more original. Like...

  • Japan
  • Matchbox toy cars (in a plastic world)
  • An hommage to car movie scenes
  • Jurassic World
  • Over-the-top arcade racing (underwater tunnels! Racing behind waterfalls!)
  • James Bond-themed
  • Something like Blur, serious cars with power-ups

ANYTHING would have been better than returning to Hot Wheels again, which is basically just a more orange version of the better user generated tracks.

Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give Tunic On Xbox Game Pass?

Bartig

@Mingus Don't agree at all. The voice acting, walking around and the fights of Naheulbeuk are generic and a chore.

I disliked Tunic the first ten minutes, until a review changed my mind about the intention of the game. It's ment as a mystery, with corridors and rooms you can't really see... but are there, and make the sense of discovery great.

I'm liking the discovery and surprises of Tunic, but I'm already looking up to the bossfights, considering how hard it already is to avoid regular swordstrikes. For me, a story focused difficulty is always a plus - and it's something Tunic doesn't have. Will continue playing it, however. Great first hour.

Will probably do the weekly challenges in Forza Horizon 5 as well. Shredders, however, is a bit too simple in game design for me.

Re: Huge Forza Horizon 5 Series 5 Update Adds Sign Language Options, New Cars

Bartig

I think these are the most important updates... if fixed properly this time around.

  • Fixed issue whilst joining events when already in a Convoy
  • Fixed minor notification not always displaying the correct car restrictions in Horizon Tour
  • Fixed issue where Horizon Tour would appear as already completed in a series, and cause players to lose their Tour points on historic Series

Re: Xbox Game Pass March 2022 List: Coming Soon & Leaving Soon

Bartig

@Dsswoosh I had the same! Looked forward to Steep, but was done with its clutter within half an hour. I will likely play Shredders without music, just to hear the snow and nature.

FAR looks great as well, definitely trying that out.

Will play A Memoir Blue too, and probably finish it in a single or double ride.
