Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.
EA games haven't ever really been removed from Game Pass.

No, because most of them are actually via EA Play or whatever which is currently part of GamePass Ultimate. That agreement could end at any time, like if EA Play does a deal with PS+.

I paid 3,54€ for one month of game pass ultimate then bought Dead Space Remake Deluxe for 8.99€. That's a loving deal right there. I don't think it needs further explanation.

As the de factor Halo Infinite thread I'd like to echo that the new Firefight update is amazingly good fun with a lot of thoughtful and clever touches.
If you survive a wave with no deaths you get a skull added for the next one, so the difficulty self-regulates.

Also your 5 paragraph diatribe could have been 1 sentence.

Ya usually a game being on gamepass doesn't dissuade from buying the game but from not buying the bad ones. I get to try a bunch of games for any amount of hours with no refund policy like Steam.

Like in the past I would have 100% bought something like Atomic Heart and then regretted later. That game looked gorgeous but imo on release it was a bit too buggy. Honestly it just seems like such a waste to buy games on release in the modern era. Games release half rear end all the time, even Baldur's Gate 3 apparently had issues in the third act. By the time I got it, it was already fixed. Even by waiting a few months you can save $20-30 on brand new games.

Can you do local splitscreen firefight? Up to 4 players? I've been getting my 5 and 7 year old gradually worked up to Halo, but the story stuff and running around levels is challenging still. Firefight would be perfect I think.

2 player split screen is available.

Be warned though, the matchmaking difficulty for Firefight is not easy. Investigate doing Custom Games where you can fine tune this a bit.

From reviews it looks to be a pretty mid game https://www.metacritic.com/game/avatar-frontiers-of-pandora/ going to just sub to UBISoft+ though, one month should be enough time to finish the game.

that is disappointing, was really hoping this would actually be a good game. The movies are pretty bad, but they felt like a video game, so the setting seemed perfect.

I never really look at reviews. When you look at the spread for this one, the scores go from 9/10 to 5/10. It's just some person's opinion in the end.

But subbing to Ubi+ for a month seems like a good plan to try this one out. There's a 30-minute gameplay video online and I think it looks like fun.

The one review I watched described it as a "even balance of combat, exploration, and hunter/gather" which sounds like a pretty good recipe for an open world game for me. Also apparently it's really true to the source material if you're a huge Avatarhead, which I am not.

I'm watching Castle Super Beast and the situation at Bungie is a disaster. So, they have to maintain a certain level of profitability or Sony assumes complete control and the board loses their jobs. They are making massive cuts everywhere except executive salaries. Slow death by a thousand cuts.

It came out during the FTC stuff that Phil had contemplated buying Bungie but passed because they're not sustainable and burn too much money iirc. I think he considered them to be overvalued as well? I imagine that when Sony had a look they probably came to the same conclusion which is why there's a takeover clause if they're no longer profitable. They likely bought them knowing that a takeover would be inevitable, they probably didn't expect them to damage other studios as well though. Feel sorry for the devs, Destiny has been a complete shitshow from the start and it's all down to leadership repeatedly loving up.

I'm guessing Bungie will eventually join the Sony graveyard or be an entirely different studio that just keeps the name for branding like Naughty Dog.

Has the game been massively downgraded like other Ubisoft titles or does it actually look like the initial gameplay reveal? I'm not a huge Avatar fan but the reveal appealed to me because the world looks so nice and ideal as a chill exploration game.

Assistance making the 10 live service games they want to have out within 3 years, and hope that Destiny 2 will pick back up at some point and Marathon will be a success in 2025 I guess.
