I see Back 4 Blood is leaving Game Pass. I haven't played it in probably 18 months but seeing its name just reminded me how gutted I was at the end product. A perfect example of where less equals more. I bet everyone playing it just wished for a remake of Left 4 Dead 2. Those two games were utterly marvellous.

Anyway, anyone got recommendations for platformer type games on Game Pass? I had a quick go on Dead Cell which seems decent. I've played both Ori games to the point where I'm stuck and have no idea how to progress further.

I took a 5 minute look at Jusant and I'll definitely go back to it. I loved Limbo and Inside, but Somerville has such frustrating puzzles that aren't so difficult to figure out, but just feel poorly implemented.

I'll probably check out Psychonauts 2 again, I enjoyed it on release but got distracted by something else shiny at the time.

I'm pretty sure I played this during a free play weekend and it was trash. It couldve been another DBZ game but theyve all been bad the past while except Dragon Ball FighterZ

I bought that game because I wanted to play a wrestling game but the licensed ones are full of dead people. It's like they are haunted.

Use your power wisely. With the push of a button you can put any game to the top of the most popular list and the other xbox owner in Japan might see it.

I reinstalled it last night after not playing it since it dropped on gp. What did they change to the card system? Do you just spawn with your whole deck now?

Yeah your card build is active from the get go instead of having to rely on getting your cards activated each level. There is still dumb rng with unlocking all the cards you want but it didn't take too long to get them all

30 fps is essentially unplayable on a 120Hz+ display for me. I see it as a fast moving slideshow and I get a headache real quick because my eyes keep focusing and unfocusing. It wasn't that way on older displays with slower response times. I used to gladly lock the fps to 30 fps if I wasn't getting a solid 60, now I need a minimum of like 40 fps before I can really see it as fluid motion.

Going on a vision quest with Master Chief, eyes focusing and unfocusing 30 times a second.

Are people genuinely excited about Hellblade 2? Ninja Theory games have always seemed a bit too full of themselves for me, and I did not like how Senua 1 looked like.
Yes, it looks great, but it seems like people are actually thinking this is a system mover?

Every time I play a game at 30fps I'm like "what is this slideshow?" but within 30 minutes I stop noticing almost entirely. Everyone played games at sub 30 for decades and no one cared but now all of a sudden they can't even look at it for 2 minutes and it's because they are only looking at it for 2 minutes.

Plus when you finish the game and play something at 60 afterwards 60fps looks like "woah" It's like taking a tolerance break.

The funniest thing to me is when I'm playing things on Steam Deck like Vampire Survivor where after a certain point the FPS tanks into single digits, so when it goes back to even 20FPS it makes everything look hilariously smooth.

30 fps on a CRT or an LCD with 10ms response times was a lot different than on today's high refresh displays. Even though the games were rendering at 30fps, your eyes weren't seeing a single static image instantly appear and stay unmoving on the screen for 33ms.

I don't know where you get the "only looking at it for 2 minutes" thing from.

I'm sorry but it's in your head man. I play games on a variety of displays at a variety of frame rates and have found over and over that frame rate tolerance is nothing but mental perception.

I'm not saying that you are lying. I see it too and 30 fps looks like juddery rear end, but it's cause your brain is used to 60+, not because modern TVs and monitors are somehow worse for games @30fps than LCDs from 15 years ago.

Also doesn't help that a decent amount of games these days that are stuck at 30 are already struggling and often have bad frame pacing, which is way worse than a steady 30 fps.
