The Old XBOX Megathread

[Your Mom]

Halo is absolutely not my game but this looks and runs great. Even the sound seems great

[Bobfoc]

This is certainly very Halo-ish. I wouldn't normally have bought it, but the Game Pass factor means I'm bound to give it a go.

[DavidMarrio]

Halo looked very much like Halo. Not a criticism but looks like it ran smoothly. 

Everwild has a very similar style to Breath of the Wild graphically as well, looked really nice 

[Your Mom]

Tell me Why looks like a game I will really like

[DavidMarrio]

Got very strong Life is Strange vibes from Tell Me Why and I do love me some Life is Strange

It's made by the same company, so no surprises.

More Outer Worlds is a good thing.

[Your Mom]

Yes! I didn't know there would be more Outer Worlds

That's what Grounded is? Could be fun

[GoGo Yubari]

I'll definitely shell out money for Outer Worlds DLC, though maybe not at full price.

[Bobfoc]

So the rumours of an Obsidian take on Skyrim were true. That's good news.

Psychonauts!

[Your Mom]

Good song

I thought no one likes Destiny 2. Seems weird to double down on it when it's basically free already

[Bobfoc]

Holy hell. I forgot STALKER existed.

[Your Mom]

I probably need to keep my Game Pass Ultimate after it runs out. How much does it actually cost normally?

I think I pay £11 a month for it? Not 100% on that though.

[Bobfoc]

Fable is back, kicking bottom or what?

[Your Mom]

Damn it I forgot about Fable! All the game pass stuff has me questioning what I really want now

[Bobfoc]

I thought that was rather good. Nice balance of established series and new IPs.

[DavidMarrio]

A lot better than the last Xbox showcase they did (which wasn't too hard) 

Some stuff interested me and some stuff was like oooo that looks cool, then there was other's and it was bit like meh. But I think that was the good thing for that showcase and the PS5 one in that it showed a balance of different types of games it wasn't all similar types of genres. There's something there for everyone.

 

[GoGo Yubari]

XBox always has an easier time with this for me because for me the floor for excitement is "would I be interested in trying this on GamePass?" and the answer on a lot of these is "yeah."

[Your Mom]

Wait...Fable will be on Game Pass???  

[GoGo Yubari]

Pretty much every game published by a studio Microsoft owns is on Game Pass day one, I believe. That should include Fable.
