Ya I feel like PS+ is a real ripoff. Gamepass regular is so drat good. I use to buy way too many new games, now with game pass, I buy half the games I need to. I am always late due to my backlog so I don't mind waiting few months to play a few new releases.

is there a way to increase the streaming quality somewhere for the xbox remote play app over a wired connection? I'm streaming to my pc over my wired intranet and the quality is kinda lovely

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.
Of course the quality is lovely, it’s Diablo 4

Nope, it’s fairly bad. I can’t get over the difference in stream quality from the Xbox and ps5. PS5 looks like native gameplay, it’s super impressive. Xbox just uses too low a bitrate. Even on my steam deck it’s noticeable on the tiny screen.

Yeah it doesn't look like you can modify this at all either. the bitrate is super low. Maybe i should use a screenshare app on the xbox? I think you can do that for the One, so probably also for the series x

...and then God said, "Let there be douche!"

Gotham Knights deluxe is $13.50 today only on the Xbox store.

It's on gamepass, but that's cheap enough for me to get and not have to worry about it leaving. Definitely not as good as the previous games, but I had fun in multiplayer.

Edit: unclear if this is a targeted discount or requires gold or gamepass to be eligible.

It depends month to month but the quality is so high these days with all the partners Microsoft has and the million studios they bought. I do love that there is a mix of every type of genres and singleplayer + multiplayer. I tried out Battlefield 2042 thanks to gamepass. I really hope they keep getting more deals with Japanese devs as thats the only games I usually buy since they don't come to Gamepass as often but it seems its starting to change.

Btw anyone played Sniper Elite 5, I have been wanting to give the series a try forever. Been in a kick for FPS/military games so if you have any other game pass recommendation let me know.

I never watched one but I would like to watch it this time. Sadly it's in the middle of the night for me, so I'll just watch it the next morning when I work from home.

I hope I won't get spoiled in advance!

Does it do cross play? I think I have friend with it on steam. That would be p fun.

I went with a sniper or hunter whatever with a rifle and I think I hosed up, should have gone with the doggy guy or turret man.

It also does look amazing, really good looking game. Plays super well on an ultrawide!

It does not, unfortunately :baduk: your buddy would have to be on GameAss too

Might be worth it for a month tbh, good multiplayer action/coop games are so few and far between, I can’t think of any good ones since Remnant 1

Over the last 30 minutes, people have been receiving notifications via the Xbox app tonight about Baldur’s Gate 1 + 2 being available soon on Game Pass.

But nothing official yet, could still be a mistake. (Because it has happened a couple of times earlier this year too)
