. Though What I really want is Halo games to be added. I've never played beyond MP in Halo 1 and 3, and i'm curious to actually play the story.

To... Gamepass? You know they're all in the Master chief collection right? Halo 5 is there as well. You can buy ODST for €5. The only one currently missing is Reach, although apparently that's getting added.

No, but it is coming to Xbox Game Pass on PC. And if you want to play MCC early then you can go to https://www.haloinsider.com and sign up to test the game.

Didn't realise this thread was for game pass windows as well! Good to know.

Oh man people keep saying the resident evil remakes are good and i was a huge fan of the old games way back when, but holy hell does some of the footage for the new ones look intense. Its like someone took resident evil four and cranked everything through the roof. Not sure about playing that with a heart condition but it looks cool.

The remake of Resident Evil 2 is the most stressful game I've ever played. Being stuck in a tiny room with Mr. X and two lickers outside was terrifying. Excellent game.

Wtf Kingdom Come Deliverance was just banned in Australia because of implied rape in a DLC or something. I was gonna try it out again on gamepass since apparently they fixed the lock picking.

Censorship is so uneven here.

We Happy Few was banned too.

I'm actually worried about Cyberpunk. Bans for chemical enhancements seem normal.

Extremely specific backwards compatibility question that probably nobody will know the answer to:

If I buy a German copy of Morrowind for the Original xbox and use that in my OneS, will it download the English version of the game? Or how does that work?
I think Germany is Pal but I've no idea if the Morrowind that's on back-compat has language options. Any help greatly appreciated!

It should download whatever version you out in.

Yeah I guess the real concern is whether or not the German version can switch languages. I can't find any info about it online

I got Kingdom Come on PS4 and there's absolutely no way I'd recommend playing it on console. It's 100% a PC game. The controls are just baffling.

Shadow warrior 2 on gamepass is a game I had never heard of before. But I loaded it up to check and it is literally this with a bit of magic and cuss words strewn in. I think it has to be a sleeper hit.

Speaking of Kingdom Come Deliverance, the combat sucks rear end. I got into a fight with a guy who owed my dad money and I felt like I was playing that VR barfight game. When I saw it being toted at "realistic medieval combat" that should have been a warning sign.

I should probably just give in and try Metro Exodus.

The combat is genuinely obtuse to a fault. Lockpicking is also disgracefully difficult.
I laughed hard when I tried to read my first book.

343 also screwed up the remasters with the graphics update. They took away the colorful palette of Halo 1 & 2, in favor of everything blending together and becoming difficult to see. Classic Halo 1 & 2 are way more pleasing on the eyes.

I got the MCC on Gamepass and I had to turn off the new graphics, they took WAY too much liberties with the design IMO.

Did Dishonored 2 fix the horrible input lag when it got 'X enhanced' or did they just dial back the dynamic resolution/crank AA and call it a day?

like it was pretty much unplayable on a regular bone.

They never fixed it on PS4 pro anyway. I legit couldn't play it cos the input lag was so noticeable.

I would play 1. It holds up really well and will fill in a few gaps for the second game. The DLC in the first game is also excellent
