Even if down the road you want to get QB, I got it at Gamestop for $17 months ago, not on sale so it's not like $20 is a steal. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you are super strapped for something play. It's not very good.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

If you get game pass for $10 you can try quantum break and mad max and a bunch of other garbage tier games for a month and then cancel.

I got an assassins creed through games with gold a few months ago. It was the one set in America.

Even if it didn't feel like poo poo to play, and have a really stupid gimmick, it's the most visually revolting game I have ever seen. It's hard to put in words how much I hate the aesthetic of that game.

I had never played a PUBG style game so I tried it out for a few hours, and I guess I get the appeal of it (sort of. I don't get why its taking the world by storm but its sort of fun) but Fortnite is so repulsive to look at I just deleted it.

its taking the world by storm because its a shooter that emphasizes dress up and hiding instead of shooting so scrubs can luck into wins. its also jank as gently caress so you get stuff to laugh at intermittently to break up the otherwise excruciating tension.

Man, it's a shame that Xbox game pass gets such shovelware titles. As far as "games as a service" the $30/year EA access seems vastly superior to the poo poo Microsoft themselves are slinging: https://news.xbox.com/2017/11/21/xbox-game-pass-december-2017-update/

No question, EA Access is a great deal. And considering how badly they hosed up the BFII launch I expect it to be added asap :D

Speaking of bad games, they just updated the version of Mass Effect: Andromeda you get with EA Access to the Deluxe Edition which includes the following crap:

- Pathfinder Elite Weapon Set
- Deep Space Explorer Armor
- Scavenger Armor
- Two Pathfinder casual outfits
- Skins for your Nomad all-terrain vehicle
- A Pet Pyjak
- The Mass Effect: Andromeda digital soundtrack
- Multiplayer Deluxe Launch Pack
- Multiplayer Booster Pack

I bought Ryse Legendary Edition for $9 Cdn (i.e. less than parking near my work) out of curiousity and still regret it lol. Still has Kinect commanded arrow volleys and colour-coordinated QTEs, which are great fun for a former PS4 player who has blacked-out Scorpio edition controller buttons.

The game itself looks like poo poo too, besides the cutscenes, which I guess was its only redeeming factor at launch.

Mad Max isn't a bad game, it just gets boring after about 6 hours. That means it's pretty good for anything less than $30.

It's really fun for 5 or 6 hours if you have some buddies to play with. It's basically a b tier left 4 dead but I like it more than L4D thematically. It's definitely worth playing all the levels at least once.
