So how many here are going to play Outerworlds through Gamepass rather than EGS or waiting for the Steam Release?
I'll do certainly
Same, it's annoying
I'm leaning towards it.
Something being exclusive for a certain store is not something I'm boycotting a game for, if I really want to play it. But it does effect how much I'm willing to pay for it, and gamepass is a good compromise.
I sure ain't giving 60€ for a game on EGS at least.
I definitely. Amassing Bing Reward Points for it. Depending on the final price I might buy it through the credit I get for my points.
5€ in a Steam sale. If the game has replayability, which most Obsidian games do, I'd rather own it outright and I refuse to reward exclusivity shenanigans with a day-1 purchase on Steam.
I will give it a shot via gamepass for sure. Not giving them money otherwise since exclusive bullshit needs to stop.
I'm definitely planning to, I'll pick it up on Steam later once it goes on sale.
Has there been any news on whether Control will be on gamepass yet? That's the only other game I care about that's gone to the EGS.
Doesn't seem likely, so there's sadly no way around the wait on that one without going to Console atm.
Currently playing Metro Exodus this way and it works really great. Will do the same with Outerworlds.
I can wait.
And I WILL wait. Obsidian isn't what it used to be. Their latest games were duds for me.
But are you sure you can wait?
Or is this just bait?
You be in here droppin' rhymes,
While we are out there earnin' dimes
Control has PS4 exclusive DLCs, so don't expect it on GamePass any time soon
Yeah I'm just giving up on EDF now, I'm just not enjoying it, I'm finding it tedious/repetitive at best and frustrating at worst.
Shame =/
Shame =/
At least this time we actually know before release it's coming to PC/Steam. But the latest gameplay has turned me off anyway.
I am. I would've preordered and likely bought any sort of deluxe edition as well if it launched on Steam day 1.
I have found the settings which maximize the recommendation of Artifact: popularity to the max, and release date exactly at 2.5 years.
I don't know if I should consider these settings to be good settings or bad settings though.
Other games are Cuphead, which is too hard for me, and DBZ, which is an anime fighting game.

So it's just like 4.1 then? Never finished that game... stopped after ~80 missions.
They had to cancel my CP2077 order :( PayPal was reporting insufficient funds constantly. Only thing I can think of that could cause that issue is that currency exchange rate changed and amount of reserved funds wasn't enough and PayPal system was stupid and couldn't add more funds from the card.
Oh well I will reorder it as soon as PayPal gives me back my money back.

In a hilarious/tragic microcosm of the series as a whole, Deus Ex: The Fall sets up its premise, ends after about 2 hours with a "Chapter 1 Complete - To Be Continued," and they never made the rest of the game.
Sorry I was talking about 4.1 actually :P
I got to about mission 42 or something and had had enough.
"Generally I think I would prefer not to do exclusives but I understand Epic's position with it, and quite frankly they are paying through the nose to build their store," said Jason. "All credit to them, it's fantastic, and we'll take some of their money, thank you very much."
Well at least they admit it. I can respect that.
Question is always is it worth it. In this case you are telling f-you to customers who have previous 3 games on other platform.
I'll wait the year.
Anyway, Obsidian is known for needing a year to clean out bugs so it's not that big a deal.
I've been on a bit of an XCOM 2 kick lately, just getting started on another commander playthrough hoping to knock through a couple achievements. I played Enemy Unknown way back when it first came out -- still worth giving Enemy Within a playthrough when I'm done, or will I find it dated? (I might even end up playing it on iPad lol)
I loaded up on Game Pass Ultimate almost entirely because I knew Outer Worlds was going to be on it.

Likely Game Pass, although I hate how Game Pass games don't support exclusive full screen, so I'll probably double dip.
What's the issue here? A game that is vailable through GP does not have a resolution setting?Gamepass is such a mess. I get that it's in beta and whatever, but how can you not have a resolution setting a in a game? Like, what purpose does it serve to disable it for your service? I don't even want to start about the app.
Why is that the fault of the service?
I'm assuming it's a UWP thing. Why would a developer on PC take out the resolution setting on purpose? I can't come up with a reason they would shoot themselves in both legs and then amputate their second arm with the one they've got left.
Which game out of interest? Blazing Chrome doesn't have a resolution setting on Steam either if that's what you're referring to. Either way, Game Pass games don't support exclusive full screen so they don't actually change your resolution anyway, just scale to your desktop resolution from whichever you select. And yes it sucks. Hellblade on Game Pass doesn't support HDR, whilst the Steam version does for example. Because for the game to automatically switch your GPU to HDR output it needs exclusive full screen. Fucking UWP.Gamepass is such a mess.

Microsoft needs to add exclusive full screen support to UWP. The issue is that even though many of the games are Win32 on Game Pass, they're running in a UWP wrapper for DRM so they all suffer from this same issue.
It's Wasteland 2. Stuck in what looks like a 800x900 window and when I full screen it, it's still super low res and stretched from 4:3 to 16:9. Like what.
I also read that Metro Exodus had issues with resolution settings. Haven't even tried that since it seems completely broken.
Edit: stretched the window before fullscreening it and the resolution is a tad higher, but I'm getting black borders. I'll probably pass on this for now. Plenty of over stuff that might play better.
I think one should not look for releases older than 2-3 years, otherwise, it is relatively obvious that the results are biased by bundles. Like, there are games which I am not interested in, and which appeared in many bundles, which get recommended to me for no other reason. By focusing on recent releases, this alleviates the issue.
As for the popularity slider, it could make sense to look for popular games for people with new Steam accounts. However, for people who have been around for a long time, it is better to look for a value roughly equal to 0.7, so that the games which surface are not games which you already know about and discarded for right reasons.
I had the same issue with Guacamelee 2.

Timespinner is missing a fullscreen option on Game Pass, it seems. Weird and hopefully they fix it soon.
and yeah, I'm probably going to play Outer Worlds on Game Pass. I wouldn't be playing it anytime soon otherwise even if it was on Steam at launch, so why not give it a shot when it comes with my subscription? Will probably wait at least a month or so for patches, though

I've seen like 4 of these and each time I get strung along until the last few words which kick it over the edge.
At this point I'm sure he doesn't mean the things he say. It's too dumb to be true.
Whoops. But you see how his morale is low when people believe it's him lol. I wasn't the only one.
