Nice try but no one who actually hears about Sea of Thieves post-launch wants to buy anything to play it.

A year of GamePass and Gold is a non-trivial amount of money

get EA Access instead

It's a fine month. Haven't played a fighting game in like 15 years, but at least it's not SMITE lmao

I think maybe Games With Gold and Game Pass might be at odds with each other now, though. They should eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) the XBL fees and then use Game Pass as the subscription service.

I dunno man. Sure I have most of the stuff on Game Pass already from Games With Gold, but then again i've had a continuous gold sub since before GWG started and made sure to grab every single game that was available on it as they came out, even the xbone ones for years before i had an xbone.

I don't think most people have bothered doing that, so game pass and gwg wont have such overlap to them.

I don't think many people who want to play multiplayer games haven't heard about Gold after, what, 16 years of existence, constant dashboard ads, and PSN copying the same model.

I wish that some of the the 3rd party game prices were a little more comparable.

I have been wanting to play Wolfenstein 2 and would love to play it on Switch, but it is on sale for Xbox One for $20 vs $60 on the Switch. It will probably be years before it is $20 on Switch. Oh well, Nintendo tax I guess.

Don’t forget to plug-in an SSD. With a One X, games load super fast this way. The One X is able to use the SSD way more effectively than the One S for sure. With the One X and an SSD, games like POE have loading screens that barely last 3 seconds. Down from about 30 seconds on the One S without an SSD.

Rocket League just got added to game pass and I just bought it last week... NoooOooOooo!!!! My ten worthless Canadian dollars could've gone towards half a day's parking at work.

But seriously this is good because the servers were pretty sparse on some modes even with crossplay.

And apparently it will finally get an X update in fall 2018.

Overlord and Overlord II have been added to BC.

Also the recently-added Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is on sale this week. That game made me feel like the future had arrived way back in 2006.

So it looks like Xbox is getting Atelier games now. This one is a town building 20th anniversary game featuring all the major characters from the previous games.

If it's popular enough the recently announced Atelier Rorona, Totori, and Meruru DX games might show up.

I feel like you’d get more mileage out of OW. Literally not one of my Xbox friends plays For Honor but obviously that’s anecdotal.

It's an ubisoft game that is periodically given away for free or next to free and can't sustain a community. Solve for X.

That's factually untrue but keep saying it though.

For Honor is at least chill and you can have fun doing dumb stuff even while losing or you can take it serious and enjoy it too.

Overwatch is a sweaty game that is only fun if you're winning and even if you might be good enough to rank high you run into the Xim/M&Kb players. And I hope you have a full team to play with because anything else gets frustrating.

I’d recommend For Honor, which I haven’t really played much of ever, but Overwatch is the worst video game ever created, even worse than that Atari 2600 game where you rape an Indian woman. Hope this helps, OP.

Inventive?
3d fighters have existed for decades, most of them better than this turd.
Mobas are aids

So we got a turd with aids vs overwatch? Yeah i see your point

The pieces arent unique but the combination is and the 3d fighter system For Honor uses doesnt have many other predecessors as even lock on arena battlers dont tend to follow its same combat flow.

Theyre both not great games and Id hunch that For Honor will be on the gamepass soon
