[wizaga]

Wow....just terrible.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Isn't Tomb Raider still capped to 30fps on Xbox? Did they ever patch it?

 

[Arsic]

I went to download Jedi survivor the other day and it was 123GB.

I automatically cancelled.

Ain’t no fucking way mate.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

 

[Punished Miku]

Little Kitty Big City is a great add. Looking forward to it. The rest seems like total crap. Worst 2 weeks in GP history.

Usually seems to be a weaker drop when they have a 1st party game, and we do have Hellblade in May. And I haven't even started Eiyuden Chronicles, Jedi Survivor, or Crab Treasure because the last week of April was ridiculously stacked.

If you guys haven't beaten Norco, I definitely recommend it.

 

[marjo]

Terrible drop. This is not how you grow a service.

 

[Spyxos]

They don't even try anymore.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Little Kitty, Big City? Damn i was hyped for that, what a nice surprise.

Itll be a really bad month if hellblade 2 gets delayed.

 

[Chukhopops]

Last chance to play Norco if you haven’t, absolutely magical game.

Between Jedi Survivor and Hellblade I can’t complain about the service these days.

 

[Draugoth]

5/10 month.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Gamepass, the new Xbox live gold.

 

[Punished Miku]

2024 in video games - Wikipedia

Really not a lot coming out between May 1 - 15. They could have put in a bid on Rainbow Cotton maybe lol.

Hellblade May 21st.
33 Immortals May 24th.

 

[Three]

No wonder it was added to windows store recently. Completely rwad that situation wrong.

 

[Aion002]

Have a Nice Death seems really cool, so I will definitely try it out later today.

I played yesterday the Star Wars game and I was disgusted on how bad the character movement is... So floaty... I will probably delete it later.

Too bad SD Gundam will be removed from GP, I will buy it on a sale with the dlc.

 

[Jaybe]

Seeing “returning to Game Pass” more and more often with these. I guess they’ve exhausted the publishers that are interested in these deals and/or they are investing less with third parties since they acquired ABK.

 

[AJUMP23]

I am glad they have other stuff. Manor Lords is a banger, none of these interest me. I have already played Tomb Raider.

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Patiently waiting for Phil to bring us Infinite Wealth.

 

[Bulletbrain]

Patiently waiting for Phil to bring us Infinite Wealth.

Don't expect it till a year after release.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Yikes. Worst ever?

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Don't expect it till a year after release.

Yeah, that's what I'm expecting. Maybe end of this year if we're lucky. But it's OK, got plenty to play in the meantime.

 

[Sanepar]

How many times Tomb Raider have been on Gamepass?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Actually looking forward to Big kitty, little city

 

[Pimpollo818]

swing and a miss for me. none of these spark interest/joy

 

[BigLee74]

Is Brothers the remake?

 

[havoc00]

Im sure the second half will be better we just got a banger with that star wars game

 

[Punished Miku]

Is Brothers the remake?

Nope it's the old one that's been on sale multiple times for $5!

 

[adamsapple]

Weak drop, but they have Hellblade in the second half so this one isn't surprising.

 

[Badlucktroll]

nice i love kittehs

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Best deal in gaming…

 

[Darsxx82]

5/10 month.

It's not a month, it's the first batch of games of the month.

Months and months seeing how it begins and how it ends to know at this point when to make evaluations more appropriately

 

[Darsxx82]

Isn't Tomb Raider still capped to 30fps on Xbox? Did they ever patch it?

The game has BC Boost mode 60fps (or 120fps?) i think.

 

[Bridges]

Dammit, I've had Supraland 2 installed since it came out and haven't played it yet. Might have to pause Dragon's Dogma to get to that before it's gone

 

[Punished Miku]

Dammit, I've had Supraland 2 installed since it came out and haven't played it yet. Might have to pause Dragon's Dogma to get to that before it's gone

Same here.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

oof. Awful drop. Here's hoping hellblade 2 is good stuff.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Freakin Little Kitty Big City will be the game that makes me plug my xbox in finally or at least the game that makes me start game pass. lol

I've had it on my steam wishlist since I heard of it and it comes out the week after Endless Ocean.

 

[Kerotan]

I went to download Jedi survivor the other day and it was 123GB.

I automatically cancelled.

Ain’t no fucking way mate.

Do you have dial up or something? I'd download that in 10mins you fucking peasant.

Anyway what a shit month, did they pull Phil's budget? That tomb raider game I got free with ps plus back on ps3 lol.

I will admit though brothers a tale of two sons is on my wish list even though the original I got free with PS plus year's ago.. I'm definitely down for another run.

 

[bender]

Game Pass users finally getting a little pussy.

 

[ReBurn]

At least Jedi Survivor is available now. I slept on it because of the performance so now I can try before I buy.

Nope. It would download in 10 minutes for me too, but I didn’t want to cough up that much SSD space.

Before we go “ok what size is your SSD peasant?! I have 40 TBs you birch ass slut” just know it’s about the game not having a good impression on me when it first came out, and now the idea of wasting time and space for a game I’d likely uninstall pretty quick no real time invested is why I didn’t install it.

No game needs to be 123GB either. :/

 

[Tell’em Keb]

This is definitely a “where were you” kinda news post.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

People always forget there will be another drop later in the month. Not interested in any of these games but that’s fine, still working my way through plenty from previous months.

What's the point in owning 40TBS if you're more willing to download 123GB? Are you one of those OCD weirdos that needs a million games downloaded at once?
