I now have both game pass and ps plus premium. I have more games than time. I don't see myself buying any Game for a while

In the last few days on xCloud I finished Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Sega and High on Life. For me personally High on Life is one of the best games of the year, I enjoyed it so much.

I also got a Playstation last week and luckily the Playstation plus premium was on half price for 12 months. So I got that and discovered so many games on there that I haven't played. I've already finished Stray which was a really great game.

I'm currently playing inFamous First Light. The plan is to finish this game off today and start Spider-Man Miles Morales and Heavy Rain. Once I've beaten those 2 games, I'm going to start my playthrough of FF7 Remake and see what all the fuss is a about. I haven't played many of the Sony Exclusives so this is going to keep me very busy over the holidays.

@Widey85 ah thanks for the update. Very disappointing

Has anyone noticed that 2nd batch of December games didn't get announced.

Actually Xbox fans want to know what's going on with Microsoft in 2022 and beyond. Also why haven't they announced the 2nd batch of December games for game pass? That's weird

Omg such losers, literally no life.

Game Pass it Xbox

@Dezzy70 it's honestly really great fun. I'm near the end now. Had a really good time.

How many of these are going to go in the "here's what's coming to game pass in 2024" lol

I've never played a FF game but I might try FF7 Remake on Playstation

I'm playing High on Life and LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Sega on xCloud.

I also recently got a Playstation and I've spent some time sorting my backlog. I might start with Spider-Man Miles Morales and Stray.

Honestly such a fun game, just beat the fourth boss those 3 brothers. Easily one of the best games to come on Game Pass this year. 8/10

I sold my series X last month, I had stopped gaming on it back in August because I started using xcloud on phone or laptop. It's much more convenient

This game was unfairly slammed by reviewers. I've played about 3.5 hours now and beaten the first 3 bosses. So far the exprience has been great. The guns are not annoying as many reviewers say, the humour isn't that funny either but as a whole the game is good, it's one of the better day 1 games that's been added to gamepass this year.

@Tharsman they could be partly financing the game.

@lokozar except they have hardly been releasing any games. How many games have we seen from 23 first party Studios that Xbox has in the last 3 years which are big budget AAA games? The answer is 4. In comparison Playstation has 18 Studios, 4 of which who don't contribute to PS5 AAA titles at all. Which means 14 Studios in the last 3 years for Playstation have made games like, The Last of Us Part 2, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Gran Turismo, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, Astros Playroom. All of these listed games are critically aclaimed and have won numerous awards and are adored by players. Next year they'll be releasing Spiderman 2.

All Xbox has done in the last 3 years is made another sequel to Gears, Halo and Forza. We all know how Halo Infinite turned out. Psychonauts 2 was a rare exception but a multiplatform title. There's been no new IP that can match Sony's flagship games, even the little IP xbox has is being ruined with games like Halo Infinite.

Xbox is struggling to produce big budget games, they have 23 Studios, practically unlimited resources, yet can't compete with Playstation in the AAA department.

The most surprising thing in all of this is that they actually have 59 Exclusives loool. Certainly doesn't feel like 59 tbh lmfao.

Xbox mate you've got 23 first party Studios that's more than any console creator in history. How about utilising them to full potential first?

This is one of those Rage quit games lol

This will eventually go through but will probably be 2024 or later now. I don't think it'll happen next year.

@Sebatrox yeah if it keeps this up, would easily be an 8 out 10. Glad you're enjoying.

Just played the first hour. It's actually fun so far.

@Cyberpsycho it was an experiment to see if they can cure insomnia and it worked

In the top 10 worst for xbox, there are 4 games that came on Game Pass day one lol.

I predicted a 7, judging by Gameplay it looked alright. Will play and decide later in the week.

@themightyant yeah I agree with that, fair comment. I did enjoy the indie titles, personal favs from this year: As Dusk Falls, TMNT, Midnight Fight Express and Prodeus.

This would still be a bad deal for Sony as they make millions from selling cod games on the console. The new one made a billion dollars in just a few days and you can bet the majority of those sales were on Playstation consoles.

@Dezzy70 let's face it Xbox has been seriously lame in 2022. They still had a decent 2021 but they did release a console with 0 Exclusives.

You can't really argue with what Playstation has released in the last 2 years, the quality is at a completely different level. Just look at what they've achieved with GOW Ragnarok.

I think Xbox will eventually release a few Exclusives in 2023 but I think the quality will be missing. I mean did Starfield honestly look like anything special?

Still amazing that a trillion dollar company with 23 first party Studios (more than any company in history) released 0 AAA games in a entire calendar year.

We are now officially over 2 years since the release of Xbox Series consoles and so far they've made a grand total of 2 (Halo and Forza) console exclusive triple A games. 4 if you count Psychonauts 2 and Deathloop which are also available on competitor console.

Meanwhile Playstation with far fewer studios has released, Spider-Man Miles Morales, Astros Playroom, Sackboy Big Adventure, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo, God of War Ragnarok, and has also tied huge games with exclusivity deals to the console such as Forspoken and Final Fantasy 16. Not to mention quality indie games like Kena, Sifu and Stray.

At the end of the day its a you get what you pay for situations. Xbox gives you a cheap subscription service that has decent games every other month, whereas Playstation hardly ever releases a bad game and asks £70 a piece.

As usual Xbox Era has given it a almost perfect score simply because its on Game Pass.

@Dezzy70 I'm so heartbroken

@Dezzy70 England gonna win world cup

Playing LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Sega in-between the world cup matches.

For this month I'm playing Lego Star Wars Skywalker and then High Life. Next year they'll be games like Last Case of Benedict Fox, Replaced, Starfield, Redfall, Forza Motorsport, Atomic Hearts and Flintlock. So hopefully quality wise things will be looking up.

Hugely disappointing from Xbox perspective they didn't even show a new game coming to game pass that we previously didn't know about.

It was as if Xbox doesn't even exist. They did show some promising new games like Judas, Hades 2 and Banisher.

Xbox practically had a 0 presence in the show. Meanwhile Playstation winning almost every award, showing new DLC, showing some exclusive content. 2 years have now gone by and if you look at the state of the console, you could never think that this company owns 23 first party studios. There is a huge lack of First Party games.

Avowed fps lol

I am so hyped for this. Bioshock Games are some of the best games ever.

The first one was a Masterpiece but this looks like a copy paste job. Still could be great.

@Fenbops taking them to court so that it can be blocked if they win of course

Why haven't you posted the FTC story about blocking the Activision takeover?

This is the next game I'm playing, after I finish lego star wars.

Last year was the first time I watched the game awards live. It was so late at night, I regretted watching that so much because the quality was so poor. Never doing that again.

@Dezzy70 but but profits

Was on push square earlier and a lot of Playstation fans think Sony should take the deal and make a competitor. They keep forgetting many games have tried to compete with CoD but none have come close to it. MW 2 made over a billion dollars in just a few days, brand recognition is huge with CoD its essentially an FPS monopoly on its own like FIFA is in football games. You can't compete with it, at least not in the short term. They only way they'll compete is if Microsoft acquires it and then ruins it by poorly managing like they do with all their first party games. Until then COD is here to stay and Sony leadership just need to accept a decline in profits coming very soon.

I so hope this acquisition goes through. I don't even like COD, I think its copy paste Garbage, but just to see Playstation leadership Cry over losing profits is just hilarious. Maybe it'll bring their level of arrogance down just a bit

@Dezzy70 yeah I agree with that prediction. No way is Xbox releasing 3 huge games in the next 6 months. They will milk these games until the end of the year

@Dezzy70 Phil says a lot of things. There's no way Redfall, Starfield and Forza Motorsport are releasing by June. They will split the 3 out over the next 12 months. Maybe 1 by June.

I think Starfield and Redfall release dates is unrealistic. Probably Q3 of 2023 so date announcement in Q1 2023.

Started playing Star Wars last night, I've played the first few missions in episode 1 and it's pretty decent.
