This list looks current: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games

Also if you have the Xbox app on your PC (and if you don't please tell me your secret because I couldn't get rid of the drat thing) you can view and download the game pass games from in there

There are also plenty of human lurkers who read the forum without ever posting (or having an account).

Very rude behaviour if so. They should post with honour

I didn't pay attention to Shenmue so I didn't know it had story DLC. Is it "during the game" stuff, or separate adventures like those Far Cry DLC set on Mars or whatever

Lol that the best way to see how many games you own on epic is to link it to another store. Gog galaxy is cool tho

I hadn't noticed before, but it really doesn't give you a number for each individual platform. That's weird, I wonder why

Pathfinder Kingmaker confirmed for free. Was the leak that said that would be free the same one that said Prey would be?

How's the DLC? Some of it sounds like it isn't really integrated with the base game, like a small additional adventure rather than part of a playthrough

I kind of assumed part of the incentive to give a game away was to encourage people to buy the DLC and boost the attach rate a bit. Considering how acclaimed both the game and expansion were it's insane to make the whole package free! Not that I'm complaining

I was excited for a second that they might actually give away Star Wars Battlefront 2, then I realised the game in question was the identically-named game from 2017, and not the good one

It helps that a fair few of them are base editions of games that basically live off of DLC

I got Just Cause 4 free and I don't even know if the available DLC would work for it because it's all for the "reloaded edition" or something

The DLC isn't good as something you buy for $15 but it's ok as far as actual content. It's just about the same level of quality as the rest of the game except a bit buggier, which is a disappointment as Obsidian's DLC/expansions tend to improve on the base game a fair bit

I decided to give Playnite a try after it got some praise in this thread, and my official review is: where has this been all my life! You can even add Dolphin games. Axelay and Astebreed right next to each other! Lost Kingdoms and Elden ring just a mousewheel apart!

I think the point of a lawn is to have something that you need to constantly pour effort into to make it look even barely acceptable. It's a badge of I guess being able to spare that effort

yeah it doesn't happen too often these days but i've definitely gone 'okay i must be missing something, let me look up to see what the trick is' and found out that either there is no trick to it or nobody else has found it either

I remember fighting the Skulls in MGSV and thinking "I must be missing something, they seem to be just sacks of hit points that aren't weak against anything" and going online to look for pro strats and all I found was people complaining that the Skulls are just sacks of hit points that aren't weak against anything

The ubisoft connect app is so poo poo lol. I claimed AC Origins and thought "ok let's see what kind of DLC this thing has" so I selected the "my games" link in the app and selected AC Origins, and looked for a way to view the avaliable DLC. There was none. But there was a link that said "Store" so I thought "I guess it makes sense that the DLC would be there" and opened that link, and it was completely blank. As far as I can tell I'd have to go to the web store to look at the DLC. I thought they'd design the app to be constantly pushing the DLC in your face to try and get you to buy it instead of trying to pretend it doesn't exist!!!

I assume it was part of their Made In Poland sale, which doesn't seem to feature discounts for Witcher 1 or 2.

I got Witcher 1 and 3 in previous giveaways so even though 2 is frequently on sale for $3 I'm holding out for it to be free to complete the set. It's my white whale!
