KOF15 is by all accounts really loving great but it's hard to me as a guy who isn't remotely competitive and just fucks around to justify $50-$60 on a serious fighting game like that. I was seriously considering getting it when it came out because I was watching a bunch of streamers play it and it looked really fun, but then I bought Elden Ring instead and haven't thought about another video game since.

re: fighting game chat.
If you are willing to do the VPN thing, I got KOF XV for $16 (deluxe version with the dlc when it comes out) from eneba.
It's pretty rad.

GamePass rules and I don't get the 'Netflix of games' poo poo at all, they still release tons of good games every month to the extent where I have like a 10+ game backlog of free games installed (+ still finishing Elden Ring ofc) .

people call it the Netflix of games because you pay a sub and don’t own the games OP

Because of game pass we're getting games we would have never seen on the Xbox otherwise. I'm finally able to play the Danganrompa games.

haha same. I had it sitting in my PS4 wishlist forever. Finally bought the Xbox One version for :10bux: like a month ago in anticipation of the next-gen upgrade, glad the delay hopefully won't be too long!

And yeah I'd be absolutely willing to janitor my Game Pass usage at full price, especially since I don't have nearly as much time to play games as I'd like. But the savings, for me, were too big too ignore. At like ~$4.50/month or whatever it comes out to, I'm fine if i don't even use it for month here and there.

Now I’m imagining hitman but instead of killing marks you have to find clever ways to embarrass yourself until people leave out of embarrassment for you.

I'm going to read the reviews after I finish. I don't like it as much as I thought I would, but it's fun enough. I think I'd like it more if the writing had more depth to it. Still gonna finish it to see how it ends. Do you know if the sequel is better?

I've just gotten to chapter 2 but I can say the sequel is certainly crazier.

I just started doing that and it's actually not bad at all to get some extra points. I'm probably missing out on some stuff to do.

Yep. I subscribed to GPU when I got my Series X in February 2021, two years with the all access package. I've spent five minutes a day just on the Bing stuff and the basic Game Pass quests (daily and weeklies), and cashing in on the daily achievement 50 point thing when I remember to do it, and I've extended my subscription another year and a half-plus thus far to September 2024 just through buying extra 3 month packages with reward points. It's insane to me how easy this is to maintain for so little effort and just playing Game Pass stuff and I'm paranoid that they're going to gimp this eventually.

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.
I can't be arsed doing the Bing Rewards poo poo every day (even with the extension), but every couple of days is enough to fund every second month of GamePass, making it effectively half price - which I'm happy with.
