Though it could just be that they currently have an arrangement with someone else and they can't say that it is coming to game pass yet.

It's probably coming after the new year, and Phil just hosed up a nice chunk of money they could have made on holiday sales.

Control is peak Game Pass game what with it taking 12 hours to do and see everything and paid DLC being announced like 2 weeks after release.

Its a good game with decent gameplay, super lore writing, and a few superb set pieces
Far too much combat tho.

I wish it ran better though, and I played on an X.

The only technical issue I experienced was after unpausing the game it would chug bad for a second or two. It did get a little annoying after awhile.

I felt like the whole game was framey, and the menus were frustratingly laggy. It felt like it was chugging at times. The controls felt thick because of it.

I understand it's because of all the particle physics of poo poo blowing up real good, and the effects are nice, but I probably would trade a solid 60fps throughout for that.

Different folks are more forgiving of that stuff, just kinda my biggest complaint about that game. Also some of the boss runs are annoyingly far from the checkpoints, and I'm a Souls fan.

e: but that stuff against it, I would not bat an eye at people calling it their GOTY. That game owns overall.

On my X, Control had very noticeable framerate drops with regularity. It really doesn't run great.

But, in the end, it's a very forgettable game anyways. I did like playing it, but it certainly doesn't leave any kind of lasting impression.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Control and Sekiro are the two games I’m desperately waiting DLC for. They got DLC coming for Control sometime in January? But no word on Sekiro yet it seems. They were both just the two most fantastic games I’ve played all year.

What’re you all’s favorite sleeper hits in gamepass? I have tried and bounced off quite a few. DMC 5 was way too anime weird for me. Alien isolation seems really cool but not as good as REVII, I’ve tried subnautica once or twice but can’t figure out the first 5 minutes well enough to ever survive. I feel like that could be a gem I’m missing. I feel like there’s prob a bunch of good ones in there.

To the person who asked about Payday 2: The last couple of patches made the game very single player friendly, although I think the very latest patch pushed up the difficulty again which is a pain.

Wait how do you eliminate enemies? By time, by just pushing people with momentum out of the circle for x amount of seconds, or the cherished twisted metal methodology?

Either way I'm loving in.

I'm guessing it's more like a standard eliminator race than they let on in the trailer, where you're racing to a destination through checkpoints and it you fall too far behind you die. Still looks fun as hell though, and Forza is always a good time.

Yeah, they blamed it on some problem with the format. Aha, found the original

quote:

To update Halo: Reach for Xbox One and PC required entirely changing the encoding for the game’s audio which has resulted in it sounding different from the original release. We are aware that areas of the title don’t sound like what you or we ideally want them to. It will take some time to work through solutions to improve the overall experience for audio and that work is already underway. When it is ready, we will flight to test the fixes we can make prior to updating the title.

Easy Allies did a video of the mode. Eliminations are either from losing a race between you and another driver or cumulatively staying outside the circle.
