Man, was just pondering about this news, this is huge, why don't i see this news everywhere else? This has a great impact... probably not ABK related so not news worthy? That almost doubles the countries PC gamepass was in first.... and probably a sign Microsoft is seeing that the ABK deal will close soon.
Happy for the devs with the score, it's definitely not for everyone, but because I enjoyed the demo so much I'm sure I'll enjoy the full game... and will buy it after it leaves gamepass.
Loved the demo , played fantastic, that was the first some time ago, second demo i was told is basically the same, finished first completely, gonna go in with fresh eyes shortly, they polished the game immensely what i saw in trailer but if gameplay hasn't changed, this is Elden Ring meets Nioh meets Dark Souls light, amazing fun i had with the demo
@SAH77777 Yeah... we were late to the party with Hogwarts Legacy, because of my daughters birthday this week, as it was a present we bought it physical , nicer to give, there's 40 gigs on the disc that gets transferred first, and then you have to download the whole game again and then some (about 80 gigs). So took some time for her to be able to play ,got gig internet speed so not a major problem, but for people that have not that great speeds, (buying physical is pure for the box these days , and able to sell i suppose)
@NintendoByNature Played it for nearly 2 hours, it's drop dead gorgeous, they really push the Unreal 4 engine with this game, Coalition type quality, runs smooth on my series X, probably because of vrr got a QHD 165 fps screen hooked up. Game is not that easy, play it on normal, so far has been fun...
@NintendoByNature me too, haven't seen a glimpse of the game, pre downloaded it, wanted to start it up for the first time, and said 70 gigs update, now I have great speed over here, but I was once again, hey time for bed, will try tonight when i get some time.
Wait , with up to 5 friends/family members? that's 6 people, i thought it was 4 , if true it's even more insane value than it already is. But nonetheless awesome more countries are getting it, and for Sweden getting a price hike that softens the blow i guess, great news
Actually quite a few , like the service, it's like an extended trial, but often when i like a free play game i don't rush and buy the game direct after the weekend, i wait for a really good store deal, and then purchase it , the cloudsave remains so progress is always stored
@EliJapan yeah loving it too, sucks you didn't get the just for you deal, i fortunately got it ,10 bucks for Far Cry 6 Gold was a really good deal. But probably going to gamepass pretty soon
Alien Isolation is great, but yeah cheap to buy, Far: Changing Tides is an awesome little game , so if you didn't try it , awesome experience imho. Octopath Traveller while being great, yeah second one seems to skip Xbox entirely, Square Enix is such a strange company.
I bought more games since having gamepass than before I had gamepass, the money seemingly saved I buy stuff that's not (well not in the near future) on gamepass, and if i love a game that much on gamepass i'll buy it when it leaves....
Saw the extended trailer this afternoon, doesn't look half bad, but does not look like an EA game at all, but then i saw KT that's like Koei Tecmo right? , Well installing demo
@BBB Me too, almost bought Mount and Blade 2 day it launched, but was caught up in so many games at the time, still am, but now I can try it in gamepass and see if it's for me, February looking amazing indeed...
Got 6 offers, Ghost Recon Wildlands gold/ultimate (4.20 euro / 10 euro) Ghost Recon Breakpoint gold/ultimate (10 euro/13.20 euro) and Far Cry 6 gold/ultimate (10 euro / 25.20 euro)
I own basic versions of Wildlands and Breakpoint,not gonna pick up those, i bought Far Cry 6 gold, the one far cry i don't own, 10 euro not a bad deal, but yeah propably the whole kit and caboodle soon in GPU i guess.
@Kaloudz yeah what @Gunonaboat says, it's quite unique, I was forgetting to say that it's turn based though, that isn't for everybody, but it's a nice little game, and i'm excited for the second one
Awesome 👍 , first game was a lot of fun , @Kaloudz a fun tactical game where you play on board a giant tank , 2d , you encounter all kinds of enemies, bit of an rpg too...
Love the new format, and thought it was an excellent show, the shadowdropping of Jet Set Ra... i mean Hi-Fi Rush was very cool, very good game btw, played it for an hour before bed, loving it so far. Forza... what to say, it looks gorgeous although no release date, Minecraft Legends is getting my interest too, Redfall I was already hyped for...... I was pleasantly surprised, having little expectations.
It's pretty awesome, played for an hour , sadly had to go to bed , after i get off from work today straight back in , great graphics great sound , better than Metal Hellsinger by a mile
It would be weird if they show it tomorrow, Xbox execs saying we're transparent, and these are the 4 games we're gonna show, keep your expectations in check, and then drop a new one.... idk.
@K1LLEGAL Oh yeah instabuy for Kingdom Rush (if it's the same game though, probably it is), now i think of it , will it play well with a controller?, bought every game on Ipad , including every hero i think in the last one , loved it to death.
Great, played it on the 360 and was amazing, thought about replaying it for it comes out, but if it's 85% the same, I just gonna skip replay of old one and get a fresh look at a game i so loved like 13-14 year ago i think
Just for giggles I thought, forget ABK, and go for Nvidia in stead , but damn, Nvidia has a market cap of over 400 billion , wth, that's a crazy value.... Intel and Amd combined is just north of half of that.....
One of the best games on the N64, played it till death, 100% completion on all levels, all unlocks, took some time, loved it, just not that interested to play it all over again, will take a look if on gamepass and that's it.
@cburg Same here, I own almost all of what I like from Ubisoft, from OG Xbox till now, maybe at 5 extra I will give it a go, but not more.
And I have a feeling , that Microsoft is really gonna add a curated version Ubisoft+ to Gamepass Ultimate, and pay Ubisoft a lump sum per month, and on top of that based on enegagement per game.
Latest news i read, Ubisoft is really in trouble, delaying Skull and Bones once again, and probably coming out when I'm literally Skull and Bones , cancelling three unannounced games, and posting very poor sales.
So probably they really need a steady cashflow, so maybe Msft could provide that , and not charge us extra on GPU for it, so throw Ubisoft a bone, and on the other hand make look Gamepass an even more valuable service!
I'm on the last few secrets for the base game, will buy the DLC after that, and just keep playing, definitely one of the best games last year for me, and I come from the pre-pixel era lol, started with the Magnavox Odyssey 2 (Philips Videopac G7000 here in the Netherlands) in 1978.
