[ASK] ME ABOUT MY LOVE FOR 1'S
So I think I figured out a way to get game pass even cheaper than $1. if you cancel it with over a week left, it immediately refunds you and then you can just sign up again. I've done this 4 months in a row now and just had to swap between ultimate and regular each time

So how do you people go about getting the cheapo game pass? Last time I tried it immediately bumped up my price after the first month. Bing scumming is a no go for me since I'm in Urp.

See if switching to Game Pass Ultimate will give you the cheapo price, then you can try switching back to regular Game Pass after it runs out.

This trick worked for me the last few years:

Let your Game Pass expire if you’re already subscribed. Add a year (3 years max) of Xbox Live Gold to your account first, then pay for the $1 Game Pass Ultimate promo. All the Xbox Live time you added gets permanently converted to a Game Pass sub for the promo price.

12 months of gold costs $60 here, comes to $61 total for a year of ultimate. Can convert up to 36 months this way.

I'm going to go with Stalker or Wasteland, Fallout doesn't really use the rad symbol in its iconography much, plus they gave away fallout 3 last month or so

E: oh drat, yes it's absolutely Duke Nukem!

This dumb joke about you not being able to play a game if you got it for free is really getting old. Stop with this annoying BS.

Anybody with half a brain understands you can later go and buy that game on another platform and then play it.

Encased is as good as the original fallout. Maybe better in many aspect thanks to modernized design and other inspiration. It also have the Stalker’s anomaly system for those who want to relive throwing stone at warp field.

I played through Encased a few times. Overall it was a good experience. You get a decent story with solid choices and the mechanics have a nice amount of solution variety. It even has special support for playing a dumb character (Brains stat 1 or 2).

Yeah, Encased is a very underrated game. It is Fallout 1 clone and you might think there too many of those but I do mean clone and most other similar games are just inspired by Fallout. They rarely feature small tight world with systemic approach to the world and combat being truly optional. Arcanum and maybe New Vegas are kinda like that but most RPGs feel very disjointed.

A sequel was planned sometime around 2001 but got cancelled due to the first game not selling well enough. Sounds like it would have been set in Florida in a mutated "garden of eden" created by an irradiated GECK. So like, mutant gators and poo poo.

I'd at least love Fallout mods to use the Tactics engine. At first glance, it seems to do everything Fallout 1 and 2 do, but so much more as far as squad options and (tautologically) tactics are concerned.

EGS freebie today is indeed Encased. Clue for tomorrow is a letter M that looks like the one in the Metro series logo; probably the Reduxes but maybe Exodus

Also, Greak: Memories of Azur (2D puzzle-platformer with Lost Vikings/Trine-style character-switching, I think?) is free on GOG

Well at least I can identify the Metro logo. Both of the games it's likely to be i already own :negative: I am not going to mentioning any other games it might be. Almost certainly both of the reduxes. So it goes.
