Yep. Bought Guardians in the holiday sales for ~25 or whatever it was with plans to play it in a dry spell early this year, in the meantime been playing Forza Horizon, Halo, Forbidden City, currently Horizon FW on the other console, and boom. Oh well. Least I'll have it to play whenever.

Also: The Xbox app on PC has gotten the big update that's been in insider preview for a while, adding the ability to choose the install folder, access their files instead of having them locked away in an encrypted bunker, repair installs, and mod more games.

It got between 78-84, depending on the platform (except the Switch, which was a cloud streamed version and has a metacritic of 54, lol)

Square-Enix called it out as having underperformed in sales in a recent investor thing because Eidos Montreal are eternally cursed to be blamed for everything, so this is probably an attempt to further recoup costs.

Western Square is so funny, they cut the price in half a month after release and then put it on Game Pass 3 months later. They must've expected 10 billion sales on release day.

Well, Square Enix-published games do have a history of ending up on Game Pass so I thought GotG might turn up there eventually. Surprised it happened so soon though! :D

All the games in XCloud are the console versions with a gamepad attached, probably for ease of handling controls across web browsers, phones, tablets, game consoles and the odd smart fridge. No KB+M funtimes in the cloud. :(

They’ve still got 2 more weeks! And there’s the Game Pass discount if you want to buy it permanently for them.

Lighting Returns is good too, easily the best of the FFXIII games. Action rpg with a Majora's Mask style mechanic.

Eh.. :haw: that’s good to hear there is still 2 weeks for it, they’ll tire of it easily by then!

It’s fun but there are so many other gaming options I don’t think they’ll care if it goes away by then.

Woot and CostCo have had it for $280 before, but $250 is the cheapest I've seen.
