Yeah this is the factor no one predicted in the exclusives/launch titles conversation. It makes the Halo Infinite delay seem wiser and wiser every day - by the time that's actually available there might be consoles to buy.

I just tried Journey to the Savage Planet, also on game pass. I think this would be a very fun game with a friend, but playing it solo didn't do much for me. It looks good though, and it's a funny game.

I've been enjoying most of it, but the what little combat there is seems to be complete rear end. Does it ever get better?

No not really. I enjoyed the game for the most part... my biggest annoyance was that the humor didn't really persist throughout the game. Just in the ship at the beginning.

The combat pretty much boils down to shoot pistol at things. Later on you may have to throw a specific type of grenade at enemies to shoot them, or dodge then stun and shoot. But it's not really that deep. It's more of a Banjo Kazooie type game where you are collecting a lot of different things, unlocking new abilities to explore new places so that you can collect more things.

I myself enjoyed it. It was pretty chill, graphics were solid and varied, the humor worked most of the time, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Definitely not a deep or interesting combat experience though.

Lol I played a lot of Doom RPG on my phone before iPhones. That and watching episodes of Spongebob were the best use of that phone during my university days, I certainly wasn't using it to talk to anybody.

I wonder what Bethesda will be doing with Quake Champions, it's a Steam only game, but its been in early access for like 3 years now and gotten zero support because only a handful of people are ever playing it.

re: quake champions

I liked it enough at one point that I even paid money for the pack to unlock all the champions. Then the player base dried up or something because it would take longer to find a match than a match lasts and I gave up on it.

It scratched an itch to just fast pace shoot man's for no reason.

I still play it but only against bots. Even with custom matches though, one of the nice things is that you can still earn experience and unlock the season pass levels. So the game is really generous in that regard, and the devs that are still left working on it, realize that not many people are playing it anymore. I am hoping with Microsoft purchasing Bethesda, maybe some more money will be pumped into Quake Champions. I think people though just do not really care for arena shooters anymore. If I was ID Software however, I would work on remaking all of the deathmatch maps from Quake 1 - 3 for Champion.

One of the comments Phil Spencer made is that Bethesda games will be exclusive on platforms with gamepass.

Kind of sounds like Microsoft wants to bring gamepass everywhere possible.

Same with Prey, it's not like Prey on 360, it's basically System Shock 3. Great game.

Prey plays much better on PC than console, but either way the game itself is great.

AFAIK the only major problem was input latency on PS4, which has since been patched. Load times can get pretty bad but it's only a big deal at the end of the game when you're traversing zones more often. Not sure what impact an SSD has.

Yeah it's worth suffering through the load times, it's an awesome game. I played through on PS4 and had a blast.

I just played through Prey on my SX and really enjoyed it. Didn’t really notice any technical glitches. I also cranked the difficulty way low because it was much more fun exploring the game than engaging in combat.
