Yeah the store was wonky for a good part of yesterday, it initially listed that I didn't own Max Payne 3 but that eventually sorted itself out. I think the store isn't good at handling that many titles changing in scope on the backend, although it's the last time it'll ever happen so they probably just pushed through.

I played 2 and 3 on PS3 recently and found them pretty boring tbh. 1 isn’t on PS3 and that’s probably the only one worth buying.

It's wild the way that playing Halo is like riding a bike. I haven't touched any of them in years and then within seconds of playing my first game I'm doing the BR dance, instinctively melee'ing as their shields drop. I played some BTB and ranked and had fun but I don't have much of a Halo crew anymore and have gradually moved away from MP FPS as I get older so I don't expect to play it a ton. Still annoyed that the campaign won't have co-op at launch. I won't feel like I'm really playing a new Halo until that happens.

Fresh batch of Game Pass dates

November 17: Next Space Rebels (Cloud, Console, and PC)
November 18: Exo One (Cloud, Console, and PC), Fae Tactics (Cloud, Console, and PC), My Friend Pedro (Cloud, Console, and PC), Undungeon (Cloud, Console, and PC), Microsoft Flight Simulator: Game of the Year Edition (Free Update)

Nice! I knew Evil Genius 2 was coming but I've been wanting to try Mortal Shell since it first released and this thread declared it an inevitable gamepass game.

It suddenly dawned on me that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is not the original Xbox 50 Cent game, which is subtitled Bulletproof. So much for running around collecting vitamin waters and dealing with crooked cop Eminem.

EA: We're putting Skate 2 on backwards compatibility!
Also EA: We're shutting down the online servers and therefore a lot of what you'd actually want to play Skate 2 for.

Yeah, this is super lovely. I was going to play the hell out of it, but it turns out I didn't already own it, and then EA announced this. gently caress's sake, the least they could have done was give it a year post-BC or something.

Something happened last night and the only real game I play on my Series S (Hades) had it's save completely wiped. I have no idea where it is, tried looking under some cloud but it's all such a pain in the dick. So I figured I'd uninstall and reinstall, that should pull it back out right? Nope.

Like 300-400 hours gone. This bullshit has never once in my life happened to me.

For anyone curious about what my controller sounds like I uploaded a recording. (Spoke about it yesterday, how I might have a defective controller due to weird rumble noises that I am not sure about)

https://vocaroo.com/16RBJ8FLjpnh

It is quite low in volume since I didn't want to mess with the audio in any way. But it was recorded from about an arm's length away by my desktop microphone and is much more audible in person. (At least on my setup I can barely hear it at the volume that I normally use) It basically sounds like an old school fax machine while I'm skidding around on dirt in Forza. Got a new one coming in a few days, will be interesting to see. But I am worried that one is cursed as well since the price landed at exactly 666 in my local currency.

Thinking about getting Microsoft Game Pass for my PC and I have a few questions.

1. I'm currently in EU region - is there a region where I would get a better monthly price / deal?
2. Is there another way to get a better deal? I remember reading some articles about how people prepaid for 3 years or so by buying codes online for cheaper

You can buy a few months of Gold from key sellers online, G2A, Eneba or wherever, and then buy a month of GPU to convert it all.

I've never really put much time into a car game outside of Burnout and SF Rush but I'm liking FH5 a lot the 60 fps and great graphics is huge for the immersive and responsive driving feel and general experience. I tried 4 on an old XB1 and didnt like at all.

I think it's easy to think of Horizon as being arcadey because of its presentation and compared to Motorsport but it's really not. And I want arcadey.

Hell yeah that game owns.

The Ridge Racer I was playing was Ridge Racer 6 on the Xbox Series S. The only thing I'm not wild about with that game is that it's so brown - sometimes I look back on the PS360 era and people talking about everything being brown and I convince myself it was just a bit but no it really was all brown.

If RR6 had the saturated colourful visual style of Ridge Racer Revolution I would never need another racing game.

I should play Ridge Racer Revolution...

Edit: the Universe stuff in RR6 is really fantastic, such a good way to present a racing game. I wonder if anything else has done the same or a similar thing? AFAIR Ridge Racer 7 dropped it...

The Wipeout series (RIP) adopted a similar approach for the grid campaign system in Wipeout Pulse and kept it for HD, Fury and 2048.

Played a few multi rounds so far and I just get my rear end crushed along with my team every time. I’m usually pretty quick to pick up mechanics but I’m struggling with master chef. Maybe cause it seems like you’re supposed to go full auto on people? I’m used to burst fire in far cry6 so it’s a weird adjustment!

With the assault rifle, yes full auto seems to be the way to go.

In the tutorial they say you can aim anywhere to break the enemy's shield, then aim for the head for maximum damage.
