That would be the craziest get, but it seems that Ubisoft may launch their own subscription service sometime soon so we'll see.
So people say Crackdown 3 is bad but I never played a Crackdown game and started playing 3 and it's actually pretty fun so far.
If this is how it's going to be,4 games for Xbox, two for PC, (ok Torment is PC only) they better leave the PC price at $5.
If this is how it's going to be,
It's the same with Crackdown 2 that also has a reputation for being bad, but is actually good. Just be warned if you try it because you want more Crackdown after 3, that the difficulty is quite high compared to most modern AAA games.
It's a great series and I wish Microsoft would do one more. Probably not likely after the reception of three :(
Had just started Guacamelee! 2 and was enjoying it, but I'm gonna take a break to see if I can complete Shadow Complex before it leaves. Is "soon" the beginning of next month?
Soon is the end of this month.
Remember you get a discount on Gamepass titles, so if you enjoy Shadow Complex, you can buy it.
Several Rare games from Rare Replay got X Enhanced :
- Banjo-Kazooie
- Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
- Banjo-Tooie
- Kameo Elements of Power
- Perfect Dark
- Perfect Dark Zero
- Viva Piñata
- Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise
Thanks. I already have Shadow Complex on 360 and the PC version on Epic Store, so I don't want to get it again, but thanks for reminding me of the discount offer. I will play through it again with Game Pass, though :)
So I fixed the issue with games suddenly not working for me by reinstalling them. But now my saves are gone. I was 2/3 into the Sunset Overdrive campaign. Is there anything I can do to recover it?
The idea that uninstalling a game wipes your save without warning is asinine. How did they not think about this?
Edit: This is on PC.

I think I need to get back into Recore. I bounced off it early on because the combat was a bit weird.
Combat Is color based, it's kinda funky at first but i find It really simple and just deep enough
Been enjoying some of the games I've been able to play. Waiting on a fix for the admin problem with a lot of the games. So far we'll worth £1
Some of the later combat dungeons have you juggling a lot of things at once, it's really satisfying to build combo to then detonate an enemy in a group, and then flip around and slam a new target with a bot-swap and then going again. Some camera issues aside it's ace imo.
Finally tried Void Bastards last night and I'm into it, despite it feeling really clunky. I think it's gonna have to be a PC game instead a comfy couch game as controls feel really off.
The art style is cool, though the chunky animations for enemies is ugly. But mannn the robot dude narrating is really well done.
Gamepass is so lovely to have.

I have changed my mind and decided to play Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition before it leaves the service at the end of the month. DmC reboot by Ninja Theory left last month so I played both of these games a little closer to each other than I probably wanted, but it's still an enjoyable time with the 4th entry of the saga. The chars all control pretty differently and it's fun overall. Enjoyed the fast-paced and ridiculous moves from Bayonetta more in comparison though. As for Devil May Cry 4, I'm not that much into the backtracking and devs reusing boss fights, but this mission design at least makes you experience the gameplay differences between characters on the same enemies. Devil May Cry 5 will have to wait for a bit longer though. Really clever from Capcom to include Devil May Cry 4 and DmC before the launch of Devil May Cry 5, btw. It's an easy way to lure people into the franchise before the new game arrived. Now the games have served their purpose and get removed, I guess.
EDIT: The same bosses THREE times, Capcom? Seriously...

I guess it's time to power through Shadow Complex Remastered this week. I played the 360 version a long time ago. It's a shame they didn't really upgrade the graphics that much.
I'm about halfway through this. Very easy to pick up and play and the mechanics are simple but effective. There's also a MS Rewards quest for getting 10 achievements for 1000 points in a bunch of games including this one.

What's the lowest version of Windows 10 that is required to use Gamepass?
Because no matter what I try, I can't get my machine to update to 1903. I keep getting the same message that suggests that a USB device is halting the update, but I've tried unplugging every single device except for my mouse, and still can't update.
If there's a way to manually install a lower version number that will allow Gamepass, I'll settle on that for now (I'm on 1803).

Yeah I loved it. Also highly recommend The Talos Principle and QUBE 2 if you're enjoying Turing Test.
They're not on Game Pass but totally deserve your money if you enjoy atmospheric test chamber environmental first person puzzle games like Portal. It's my favourite genre :)
I forgot how amazing Blast Corps is!!!! Really great game!!!!
Didn't like that Goulies game, but i must say the graphics is very good.

Appreciate the recommendations. I'll definitely check them out, probably my favorite format for puzzle games as well.
so can I delete the ones that dont have the rare replay tag?
No idea. I've kept them all for now. I think if you delete those ones you wont be able to launch them from the Rare Replay menu. Try it with a game you're not fussed with and report back.
Thimbleweed Park and a walkthrough or that Rush: Disneyland Adventure game if it's still up.
Terrific.
I don't suppose anyone knows of a workaround to this whole USB thing. Because I've tried updating with all my devices unplugged except for my mouse, and I still get the error message.
It's great that Arkham Knight is on GamePass and Dying Light may be on there soon but without enhancement patches the games look horrendous.
Arkham Knight would be absolutely spectacular if it had the enhanced patch.

Haven't played it myself, but apparently that Old mans journey game can be completed in an hour. A ton of my achievement hunter friends were playing it when it got added and 100% completed it in no time
Any non-os sata drives plugged in showing up as removable devices? If so, try unplugging them.
Here's everything showing up in my devices list:
Not sure if there's anything specific there that might be causing a conflict.
Thimbleweed Park is phenomenally good. I honestly have no idea how you would complete it without a guide though. As someone who grew up on the games it is celebrating, some of the puzzles were too obscure even for me. Loved it though.
Yes it is sad how the shitty XB1S drags down Gamepass and the Xbox ecosystem as a whole. I didn't buy a 1X and an OLED to play 900p games.
Crackdowns problem was the shallow hype it had built up behind it.
Expectations going in were too high. And to be honest I think MS went into this all wrong from the get go.
If they wanted it to become a pillar franchise like they advertised they needed a MUCH better studio, internal and more design goals ie narrative, gameplay mechanics etc its a damn shame how the game ended up. But for what it actually is, its a decent action game.
When people are using them to pay for their Live subscription they do.
Anyone had/has issues with certain games and how the Microsoft Store works?
I installed Void Bastards, played it once, then it stopped working. Now I can't start it, can't uninstall it, can't reinstall it.
Same with Wolfenstein II.

Can't speak for anyone else here but I do, they give me something to do after completing the game.
They feed into the rewards system too.
I wish there was more to it though. An incentive for completed games.
