Halucigens

I went with starfield. My expectations might come to reality when they start showing gameplay but I love sci fi. I hope there is some tongue to cheek and some quests range from the absurd to space opera.

Really good year this year and beyond.

Game is amazing. If you like cars, music, open world, designing things, customizing, events, collecting and leveling.

A little over acted but I’ve been enjoying these live action takes.

I love early access especially when it’s bundled with future content. I know I’ll be playing Forza for years so having the vip membership and dlc to come back to is amazing. Plus Playground Games deserve any support they ask for. Truly top notch. They were doing biweekly streams for three months on this game.

What a game pass list. A little bit of something for everyone. Sports, Racing, RPG, FPS trial, GTA.

@SplooshDmg Yeah I'm in-between this one and the newest one that's 400. I'm not sure where I'd put all the stuff when I'm not gaming though. Still on the fence because the controller really isn't too bad. And the dang cat loves standing on tables getting in my way when I'm gaming with peripherals. Thanks for the advice though

Man these steering wheels are really tempting. Anyone got any good recommendations?

Easy pass from me. WWII really was an extreme let down and it was my first COD since Black Ops because that's when I thought the series was getting stale. Black Ops at least had crossbows and hatchets to play. Not my thing anymore.

10/10. I understand the review that if you’ve never played Forza why would you enjoy it now. But what the game does is perfect and the game is a tech marvel. With this and MSFS coming from Xbox, they really are pushing graphics and performance. Looks great in 30 fps too and is playable.

San Andreas is the best get for game pass. It's the most polished game of the trilogy. RPG elements, gang wars, and a great soundtrack. I loved Vice City but it really didn't hold up in last gens remake. I barely made it past the RC missions.

I always look at reviews as being suggestions. 8/10 racing game. I like racing games so that is a must play. People really take review scores too serious.

Hopefully they add some maps from Battlefield Vietnam. Man that game was fun.

The single player campaign was actually really fun. Played a few coop missions with a buddy and those were fun. I don't care about any of the cosmetics or grinding power levels. Thought the gameplay loop and how the levels matched to your power level was rewarding. But as soon as I beat it I uninstalled so I could install Forza 5!!!!!!

Can't wait. Love how MS treats midnight releases with region free. It's always midnight somewhere.

@FriendlyOctopus GREEN = MONEY = BAD = MICROSOFT MONOPOLY.

I think these shoes look great. Minimal, stylish, fleek.

Makes sense to use their tech in hololens and bring it to consumers. Minecraft and flight simulator make sense to me as games that could be proof of concept of AR. I'm more interested in AR then VR personally.

Already got the digital deluxe so I get access on the 12th. Always a game I'll play off and on for years.

I saw that thread pop up in popularity last night and scrolled through the comments and cringed out of the app. I get constructive criticism. On the other side, if you aren't having fun or liking what you are doing, we can play other games and enjoy other hobbies.

November 12th can't come soon enough.

@Hordak Halo Wars is a real time strategy.

@SplooshDmg Yeah I have a busy 4 day weekend when Halo comes out so if I can get my hands on it earlier I'll be super happy. Want to beat the campaign before all the memes and trolls get to it.

If it's early access on the 3rd with the first years battle pass like any other game I would gladly purchase it. I'm a sucker for early access.

Microsoft Rewards has become a staple in my gaming. Bing stuff is easy since I can do that at work. The game stuff is usually easy and helps me try different games out. Been running 4 months of game pass through my reward points. The only caveat is I normally preorder games before their punch cards are out so I can't redeem those points.

Xbox been on a roll since July with MSFS and The Ascent dropping. This week is something else.

Previews went out early this month too. See yah in MEXICO!

Yeah I agree with the score. If you love extreme sports games, this is a must buy.

@InterceptorAlpha Sounds like Blizzard. Had the same thing happen to me on Diablo 3. Roll backs, not working, hacked. Never again for me. They know exactly what they are doing to fleece their fan base, customers and their employees.

@InterceptorAlpha You should be going to the publisher of the game for the refund. I personally think you played the game enough to not qualify for a return from the marketplace. It’s your fault and the publishers fault. Letting people play dozens of hours of a game and then ask for a refund from the place that sold it is not right and you passed on their refund policy. Losing progress in a game is as old as online gaming. Most recalls of a product don’t ask for the product back but for the customer to dump them and get their money from the vendor not the seller. I worked retail for nine years and work food recalls for a major food service corporation so that’s my experience with returns/recalls. Additionally you probably bought it digitally. If you bought it physically you could return it or get store credit. You are at the mercy of digital refund policy and if you played the game a lot then you passed the marketplaces policy. I’m sorry for all your time wasted in the game and with customer support. Don’t buy online games at launch.

@InterceptorAlpha Microsoft would of given you a refund. Microsoft is just the marketplace. Your issues are with the publisher of the game who released it in that state which is Activision who also owns the studio that develop the game which is Blizzard. Your gripes should be with them since they are a giant corporation that is highly regarded at selling video games. Blizzard games always release botched. WoW and Diablo 3 have personally been awful for me.
Sony is the only company in my recent memory to take a game off their marketplace with Cyberpunk.i think that was more on Sonys refund policy. I’ve only heard great things with Microsoft customer support.

Unpacking looks really relaxing. I definitely will be giving that a go. Forza 5 for DAYS

Good list. I will be claiming all of them. I hardly have a chance to get to the games with gold because game pass has been on an absolute terror. Not sure what people want from these but I'm not sure they know either. COME ON MS GIVE ME 100 DOLLARS!

Excited I can play next Friday and get a whole weekend in before the official release. The DLC for 4 was amazing and I preordered the bundle last month. I think it's great what game pass is doing for the longevity of games and how they handle DLC. 1 MORE WEEK

@cracked_seal Probably a bit of both. My rocket league playing went leaps and bounds from the ps4/switch to my xbox series x. Better connection and smoother frame rate helps tremendously in online multiplayer games. But yeah two weeks in people were just catching and faking really well. Definitely will check out the new update and since it's on ps plus next month the player base should grow and maybe I can find more opponents in my skill bracket.

I loved this when it first came out. I keep wanting to get back in but even a month into release people were insanely good and have way higher reflexes then me. Core concept is great.

I couldn't get past 15 minutes because my partner and I are scaredy cats. The opening scene is unsettling. Once all the tool tips on random things occurring I realized I've read enough sci fi to not put myself in an A.I. nightmare chamber. Getting through Amnesia was hard enough 10 years ago.

I’ve had it crash doing a mass race. And also crash while I was trying to see what you really got with gold edition. Other then that the 6 hours I’ve put into has been amazing. Graphics are pretty good. The map is huge. Lots of variety. Pretty much steep with also bikes. Online multiplayer doesn’t seem to work but I usually just burn through the challenges. Priming me up for Forza. A game I can always go back to.

Played some bassmaster last night. I love fishing in real life but it's a big time suck and investment. I love that this and moonglow both came out. Going to spend hours peacefully fishing with some tunes on.

The docu series is really selling my partner and I on this game. I think it's awesome they added all that history into the game and really hope it runs on her laptop.

Two fishing games in one week! Let’s go game pass.

Very relaxing game. Fishing with a net and timing schools is rewarding. Can be wonky transversing in voxel but the art style is very charming. Great game pass game. Probably would of still bought it if not for that.

I think it could be the best. I don’t think it will be it’s complete game for a year or more. With forge, multi, and an open world campaign it’s replayability will be very high. Launching this to end the Xbox one era, to kick off this generation with Halo and coming to pc and mobile. It’s a huge launch and what I’ve played and seen I am keen to think this could be the best.

I've cleared dozens, if not hundreds, of bases in Halo. That's primarily the gameplay. I don't see how people watch this and think it looks like Far Cry. Hopefully people aren't breathing out of the straws they are grasping for.

Somedays I think the gaming community is full of toxic children. Most days I know that to be true.

Looks amazing. Can't wait to play it single player and then play it COOP a lot. The hook shot stuff looks breathtaking.

You can play November 5th if you get the game pass upgrade with all dlc, vip, and other bonuses. I’ll be playing in 30 unless it deters my gaming. They say it in the video that it’s cinematic “game-atic” by the way they do wizardry on camera view locks. Next gen consoles and gaming in general has gotten great because of no load times. Graphics and all that are a plus.

Moonglow, Riders Republic and Bassmaster!

@GuyinPA75 Mobile gaming definitely has a stigma around it. I wish it was still called handheld gaming or like on the go gaming.

@JayJ I’m just about to jump on. Truthfully, I’m a huge skate nerd. It’s the sport I follow the most. I’ve enjoyed tony hawk pro skater, ssx, 1080, amped, skater xl, the descenders and also steep. I usually burn out when I finish the challenges or get burnt out from the competition. I’m intrigued how they implement the online. Competition is always thrilling but it has to be fun and have a natural skill ceiling that players explore.

@Snake_V5 should be a download. Check your systems under settings and the updates. Usually they update automatically too.

Should we wavering from riders republic to give this a good going. Love me some extreme sports games.

I have two 1 terabyte expansions. I should be good for awhile.
