Wow remnant 2 was one I was interested in after watching jackfrags do a play, looked pretty neat. Game pass stays winning.

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.

slave to my cravings posted:

Announced at the game awards next week apparently. The closer it gets, and the lack of store page/preordering makes me suspect it might actually be on gamepass (though still unlikely).

“Baldur’s Gate 3, Game of the Year, available TONIGHT on gamepass” would be a pretty solid flex

There’s nothing portable about it it’s just a WiiU Gamepad. Just buy a $12 controller clip for your phone and download the Xbox app.

This already exists it’s called Cloud gaming and a smart phone. You gotta fit that Xbox controller in your pocket, though.

Hmmmm, the Remnant games are published by Gearbox. Didn't they get bought out by that company that missed out on Saudi funding so it's panic closing a bunch of studios?

I’ve never tried a multiplayer game, but I imagine it would be a compromised experience to say the least. It’s been great for trying out indie games before I commit to a full install.

Man I would love it if Steam Deck got native Xbox pc game support. The streaming is pretty good but it would just be cool to be able to install game pass pc games (without having to install windows).

It's interesting that MS is doing anything to accommodate handheld PCs given that Valve is dominating the market with a device that runs Linux. Windows is such a bad fit for the form factor and the Proton compatibility layer is so good that Linux is arguably a competitive advantage for them. Makes me wonder what MS's plans are long term if they think they can't ignore the segment.

Coral Island appears to be Xbox "play anywhere" compatible (saves are shared between PC/console) despite not being listed as such in the Microsoft store. First time I've seen that.

So it could be miss-tagged, because that does happen. But it also might just have cross saves via XBL account system and no support for buying on one platform and playing on both, which is what play anywhere requires.

I haven’t paid money for a CoD game in ages, but if you have a controller clip or Razer/Backbone download the free CoD Android/iOS game and go nuts with a 25-2 k/d ratio every match.

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

There's a small part of me that wonders if the power of the Series S, and making developers code for the specs of that system, is a prelude to creating a portable system with the same specs.

Might not be possible right this moment, but in a year or so it's possible, and you have a large library of software ready to go.

Also gives a small reason as to why the S came without a disk drive.

Gamepass value is out of this loving universe. Really interested in Remnant 2 as a big souls fan but I have a huge backlog and buy way too many poo poo anyway(less now with gamepass). Heard awesome things from most souls fans about it. It seems like one of the issues was performance on PC at launch being very buggy but it's better now.

What an absolutely stacked month.

Remnant II, Against the Storm, and Rise of the Tomb Raider are all great. Anything SteamWorld is usually solid as well.
I've almost bought Far Cry 6 and Goat Sim 3 on more than one occasion recently so this is very nice. Most of the others look very interesting as well.
