Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
I bet vice city and gta 3 end up on gamepass at some point based on RDR2 and GTA5. Glad SA is what we got as it's the only one I want to try. Never owned it and I played a bit of the 360 version which was a mobile port and awful.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Yeah, given that it mentions Xbox GamePass and the Rockstar Launcher separately, I'd be surprised if it ends up on PC gamepass.

iirc the world record 100% speedrun for San Andreas is like 12 hours or something, so I hope you're quick! That's on PC though, so I dunno how many mods are involved

drat, I think it spend almost that much time on the stadium races alone during my 100% run. There was one in particular (the 8-track) I just sucked at and had to retry over and over again.

I also 100%ed Vice City... on the iPad. Somehow the helicopter mini-games and the ambulance activity were pretty doable. Stealing the attack chopper from the army base was way more challenging, because controlling the minigun with a touchscreen was awful.

So yeah, guess I don't really feel the need to play this trilogy ever again lol

Well, gave NHL 22 a try and even though it's supposedly running on a new engine now I can't tell a difference between it and the ~5 previous installments. It looks identical, plays identical, the graphics aren't any better, the game stoppage scenes are still 30 fps (lol)...

apparently Echo Generation is really short by RPG standards, like 10 hours or so, which makes me significantly more interested in playing it. sounds like it might need some balance patches though

It's unironically cool, that god drat light is so bright that it's distracting in a dark room. I actually spent some time looking for a setting yesterday and was disappointed that I couldn't find it.

You know. Dark. I'm in Finland where the sun sets before 6 PM these days and it's pitch black by seven. The only lights in my living room are my TV and whatever LEDs are on in my current device.

It's not like the controller light is illuminating the room or anything, but if I hold the controller in a way where the light is in my field of view, I will definitely get noticeable blooming from it.

There were some rumours it'll come to game pass, but the rest of the year is pretty stacked so maybe next year. As for sale, it might on Black Friday.

If it doesn't show up on launch its not gonna join for like 3 months minimum.

That said, having now bought it to play it, just wait. A dissapointment for me

It checked on release and it was 20 bucks on steam and 30 on PS. I want to try the game but I'm not paying 40 for it, especially when it was delayed for exclusivity reasons. I imagined it'll be 20 black friday or the holidays.

Also everyone playing in the dark- buy a drat lamp

Just finished Lost Words: Beyond the Page and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something with super chill/light puzzle platforming and well written, voiced and acted script. Also would recommend to parents to play with younger kids that haven’t experienced the loss of a loved one yet because this game shows the grieving process of a young girl in a very tasteful and relatable way.

Yes, it’s on Gamepass.
