@Cyberpsycho Hard Reset is definitely worth $2. I played it on PC a while ago. The visuals and the gunplay are very good. Hidden gem.

"Perspective Assist", yeah we know what the 3rd person mode is for, and it ain't the gameplay.

I've been incredibly patient, but Xbox needs to deliver some effing games! This is getting absurd. That COVID excuse is long gone. Sony is delivering, no excuses Xbox! You bought a bajillion studios, release some GAMES NAO!!!!

@stvevan Couldn't be more untrue. I've played soo many more indies through Game Pass than I ever did without it.

I think the comment fails to recognize however, that Game Pass also brings a lot more attention to most indies than they would ever get without it. We are seeing that a lot. I've played a lot of indies I would've never bought or checked out otherwise. While I get the potential problem with curation, it also rewards indie devs who make good games. More of a risk for mediocre to subpar game makers. I'd rather there be a better platform for cream to rise to the top than have actually good games market visibility be clouded by shovelware. And the open market is still there as well. This is actually, the best time in gaming history to be an indie dev and have your good game get noticed.

Man, Ubisoft is a dumpster fire. They lost a lot of their soul... Mario and Rabbids might just be the only Ubi game I care about at this point. They've milked their IPs to death and keep botching their few new IPs...

@Cyberpsycho It's just a predictions poll done for fun and to share anticipation for upcoming games. No need to take it so seriously. Try having fun some time.

@Jeff_D What? Don't like good games?

Lol you have to install the game anyways! This is a 100% meaningless cash grab. But hey, more power to them if they want to benefit off of the stupid tax

Whew, nothing big lost

@MaccaMUFC Of course it is. That's why I brought it to his attention. Pretty sure Pragmata is the opposite mistake on the post. I don't see anywhere that it's coming to Game Pass.

@fraserg Hellblade 2 says "Game Pass? No" on your list. Great list btw thanks! I'm really looking forward to "The Finals" as well on the multiplayer fps scene.

Oh great, info. Sure as heck better be info lol! How about a release date!?

No lies told, by Bobby of all people.
All the Sony fans on an Xbox site don't want anymore posts about this lol! First off, it's the end of the year. This is gaming news drought time. Secondly, a lot of us find this interesting how the process goes (I do). And lastly, don't click the article then! You don't have to read the article and comment. People literally coming in here to type comments that they don't have time for these articles. smh...

@Deadeye13 Lol exactly! What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Axe this deal and I expect them to then axe Sony's shady, exclusionary dealings. Microsoft should start punching back if this looks like it'll fail.

@PartyMarty Well just look at how many jump on this site to trash Xbox all the time? Lot of insecure fans.

@PhileasFragg lol wrong site buddy! The Sony site is called Push Square. You can go there for all your PlayStation needs.
@Titntin no there really isn't. Wouldn't be surprised at all of these were actors in league with Sony. This is just a power grab by the FTC and their ambitious leader that Sony is taking advantage of.

That is some significant ground made up on Sony from last generations abysmal performance. People like to trash the S, but it was actually a genius move on Microsoft's part to have a low-cost entry option to go with Game Pass. I know quite a few more casual or lower budget gamers who got an S that love it. Now, if they can start getting these freakin games out, that might help them gain more ground.

@stvevan Xbox is a separate branch with a separate budget. And it's called "market share". Look into that one.

I see the Sony guys are out here in full force lol. Must be boring on Push Square.

@Snake_V5 So buy the same devs to make them and brand it as a new studio instead of buying a studio? Lol who cares if it's "organic", the result is what matters.

@101Force I agree, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. If the FTC power grabs this and cancels the deal, then Microsoft has every right to push against Sony's exclusionary business practices and the FTC should shut that down as well.

@UltimateOtaku91 He should've said Xbox, not Microsoft yes. He is 100% correct when it comes to Xbox gaming market share. And if this is about fair trade in the gaming market, that's what should be focused on. Google Stadia wasn't a threat to the gaming market even though Google is much larger than Nintendo and Sony. And you are proving the point of this being a non-issue if it brings parity with the competition (Sony will still have majority but it'll be competitive at least).

@TheElectroFunky Lol Phil is not fat! Maybe try actually googling for 2 seconds before saying dumb things. And why do any of those 4 descriptors have any application to (or reason to be brought into) this situation? Because you are bought into identity politics instead of addressing the actual issue. Oh man is it a boring trope... Come up with something new in the class warfare battle please.

@TheElectroFunky Activision/Blizzard games on Game Pass would sure be good for my consuming. But yes, trot out the usual identity tropes for your weak argument defending the FTC.

@Friendly Sony is being business smart and playing dirty politics. Disingenuous, unethical, and hypocritical? Most definitely. But it is good for their business to act this way sadly. What is the FTC smoking is the problem. They are enabling this bad behavior of Sony by kowtowing to them. Such a useless group on unelected officials...

Bureaucracy at its finest... An unquenchable thirst for power and control.

Tunic not getting the love it deserves. I get people not picking it for game of the year, but it deserves to make it on the scoreboard. Loved that game!

@Madeforthiscomment Yeah, which is too bad this is your first experience here, as Fraser (who added his dissent) has done a very good job here. This is a terribly written review with just a piss poor attitude. Looks more like a rant by someone who really hates Rick and Morty than a professional review. And the fact that he's roleplaying hostility towards himself, tells me how immature it is. It's just not writing behavior you want from a site trying to establish itself as a legitimate source for reviews. This makes me question whether I can trust this site for reviews (they are great for breaking news). Nintendolife is very good at their reviews, and I hope Purexbox can glean some guidance from them after this.

If you take dumb humor this seriously, maybe this isn't the type of game you should be reviewing. The fact that you are roleplaying, criticizing your own takes is very jaded, weird, and downright goofy. Just an overall crappy attitude and very unprofessional behavior in this review.

Hades 2 as it was an actual reveal. Already knew about Jedi Survivor but am excited for it. Judas looks promising too.

@mousieone The current supreme court should actually prove better for Microsoft. But, I don't think it'll even need to go near that far. This should likely be settled in a lesser court.

@mousieone I completely agree. FTC and EU are flexing hard in this one. They are making this about them and not about the legality of the purchase.

@themightyant Still means nothing to the legality of the case. FTC is being petty. None of this creates a monopoly. "Intentions" don't mean crap this isn't a murder trial.

@themightyant Guess they found a way to "achieve X results". They didn't breech anything. EU and FTC were just morons for not seeing the obvious door left open in that statement.

So, the issue is that they deceived the EU, not that the purchase violates anti-trust? Lol, k...

How hilarious would it be if the merger goes through before Sony decides to accept the new deal? Then they end up being the only platform without Call of Duty and Microsoft would have every right to deny them at that point.
For Switch, they need to make completely separate CoD games like they did for the Wii era. I would love however, if they would port the 360 era CoDs (MW1-2, BLOPS 1-2, WaW etc...) to Switch. Maybe make a few more maps or something, but that'd be awesome just playing the classics again.

Hate to break it to people, but you can't expect to inflate the dollar/euro/fiat of choice and not see prices increase. They have increased dramatically for commodities. It was a matter of time before entertainment costs increased.

@FraserG are you factoring in that Outer Wilds already left Game Pass and then returned? I'd be shocked if it left again this quickly.

@J_Mo_Money It looks incredible and plays really good. But good gravy it has a TON of dialogue. I've been tackling it in chunks on my Switch.

Sony cried like the spoiled brats they are and are getting what they want.

What are you waiting for?! Just Do It! - Shia LeBbouf

Really looking forward to this game. I think it will surprise a lot of people. The Bioshock look of it is very evident.

Big nothingburger. Only catering to those who can't handle differing opinions and took their toys to a new echo chamber. When you can just copy paste posts to multiple social networks, makes sense for companies to add them to every one available.

"12 short weeks" lol k

@Dr_Luigi all your absurd rambling and purposefully ignorant comments about "not knowing why fans would care about Microsoft buying Activision" is answered in two easy words. GAME PASS!
Like are you kidding me? What happened when Microsoft bought Bethesda? Oh look, the games went on GAME PASS. Accusing people of not valuing a game because they are hoping they could get it on GAME PASS instead is such a ridiculous comment. People are obviously, excited about the potential of more value for their subscription.
"wHy wOuLd Netflix subscribers care if they bought a popular movie studio!?#! Don't they value those movies enough to pay full price instead?+!/" smh...

@Tasuki It still does and I saw a video saying it's having a resurgence with the remake of All Quiet on the Western Front releasing.

Spring 2023 is WAY TOO LONG of a wait to play forge maps online with random players. They need Forge to bail them out of their grossly lacking content. Their time management skills are just terrible...

@trev666 BF1 is the last good BF sadly... This one is a dumpster fire...

Sounds incredibly boring without motion controls
