Arkham Asylum is sooooo good. I love that game

It really was the dog's bollocks. As soon as I completed it I immediately started another playthrough, which I don't think I've ever done before. I really wish Spider-Man was on Xbox, those recent games look amazing.

The visuals in these Division games are incredible, the volumetric lighting and fog effects are stellar. Gears of War would be a good fit for this engine - the movement system in Division makes GoW seem ancient. Was the character movement motion captured does anyone know?

Same, on PC I pretty much played it through 3 times in a row when I first got it. What an incredible game.

Arkham City was great too but definitely not such a magical experience to warrant replaying over and over again.

i think i prefer arkham asylum because of the constraints. i don't really like open world games so the move to city and then asylum it just felt like more and more padding. the spiderman games are ok but similar buzz. at least they're fun to move around in. asylum will always be my fave.

For Phantasy Star Online 2, did everyone move over to New Genesis? When NG first came out, it was really bad, so I dropped PSO2 but I have been missing my level 100 character on original PSO2 .

Finished Guardians of the Galaxy, what a great Game Pass game. I don’t think I’d replay it even for collectables but enjoyed the entire thing while playing it. Had some pretty emotional bits, kinda like the movies (especially the 2nd).

In really enjoying it, shame it didn't make enough money for Squeenix to allot resources to fix the many, many graphical and sound bugs.

Yeah I got stuck on the geometry a lot especially when trying to backtrack. Not a huge deal because the checkpoints were frequent but still.

It's such a bummer that the Avengers game could have potentially been like this one.

e: also in Arkham knight the batmobile that automagically placed people you "hit" out of harms way was just hilarious storycrafting nonsense. Giving players a potentially lethal weapon (a vehicle) and then having to make it always nonlethal in the hands of game playing psychos is going to be an impossible nut to crack.

Had the same experience with Death's Door (which is now on Game Pass)

By the way, there's a spring spotlight promo going on, possibly US only, until April 10th (spend 50 bucks, get 5000 points). They're adding new games every week and I'm guessing that Tunic will be one of them. Just in case anyone is eager to get it.

Just don't think about how they get launched into other vehicles or buildings when bouncing off your speeding vehicle. TOTALLY NON LETHAL!

Technically the building killed them! Not Batman! :haw:

I really liked Arkham City but I think I agree that Asylum was the best. It was just tight and focused whereas City went too nuts on the Riddler puzzles to pad the playtime.

The brawl fights in both are still my favourite melee combat in a game.

GotG keeps reminding me of a Disney ride. It almost plays itself, just pushes you through while fun things happen around you.

Great thing to flip to after beating my head against something in Elden Ring for an hour.

I could have done with like, 25 percent less dialogue in GOTG


It's mainly a problem in the bits where the amount of dialogue is clearly much more than the amount of time you'd spend exploring the area so you either move forward enough to cut everyone off, or just circle around like a dumbass

I just pressed a button to start an elevator thus starting a conversation about the elevator ride, and had it cut off because the elevator reached its destination faster than they could talk about it.

Yep I have the same issue, posted about it here. Super bright with the black levels all wonky and the colours don’t look as vibrant as the pc version. Other games look fine so I don’t think it is Xbox or tv issues, although I did try fiddling with the settings.

Googling didn’t turn up anything either so just living with it.

Hey I figured it out! It’s because I launched the game and played it for a bit on my PC (which does not do HDR) and then played it on my Xbox. Because it’s a Play Anywhere title, it was trying to sync my HDR settings from a platform that did not have any to one that did.

You can delete your save file from the Xbox cloud to fix this, or you can plug your PC into a HDR-capable screen and turn off HDR on it to fix it. To delete your cloud save you have to hit the hamburger button on the game on your Xbox, hit “manage game and local files,” go down to the saved data, highlight your save, hit the hamburger button again, and then hit “delete everywhere.”

Whoaaaaa that must have been my issue too, I had played it on PC first too! I did find turning off Dolby Vision on the Xbox worked too, perhaps that reset the save file settings. I finished it that way (still looked great) but will keep that in mind if the issue pops up with other games in the future..

ID@Xbox games aren't guaranteed for Game Pass as far as I know. That said, a couple of Finji's games have been on Game Pass before so Tunic may also end up on it eventually.

If the 360 version of Skyrim is backwards compatible yes, but if you mean between different releases of the game not really.

You should throw Skyrim in the garbage and play Elden Ring. I don't even understand how you could ask this question.

Anyway there's all kinds of good poo poo for Xbox but because Microsoft is based and Sony is fail, I don't think there's that many Xbox exclusives to recommend. Check out game pass. Tetris effect ftw and Deedlit in labyrinth is epic as well though, those are the last 2 I played on game pass.

Unfortunately not, the PS3/360 era versions of Skyrim were totally different to PS4/Xbox One.

As for gamepass, Skyrim is amazing with all the updates for Series X.
I’d also really recommend the Prey reboot
