TACD posted:This actually sounds quite appealing — usually my eyes glaze over and I instinctively ignore any game with deluxe / premium versions or any kind of ‘pass’ DLC, are any of these worthwhile in this case? Game Pass is microsoft's game service, not the DLC. For a dollar for the first month (and ten bucks a month after that) you get all microsoft titles day and date when they release+a ton of other really good games. To be transparent some people have real difficulty getting it to work on their PC but if it doesn't work well you're out a buck and can always just pay full price on steam.

Game Pass is sick I ran it until I picked up a PS4 then I canceled. Hope you enjoy Forza dude! Also, I dont think this has been mentioned it just dropped and the first one was alright https://store.steampowered.com/app/...e%20you%20play. Curious Expedition 2 is a turn-based narrative roguelike set in a reimagined version of the late 19th century that uses procedural gameplay and story elements to create completely unique and epic adventures every time you play.

Game Pass is a superb value, and a great way to dabble in a lot of games, but it does break a lot of what's good about PC gaming with its legendarily lovely delivery mechanism. Games come as obfuscated "packages" rather than a regular rear end folder with some files and a .exe. The upshot of this is that it's hard/impossible to mod them, and tools that require you to point to an exe (e.g. Logitech mouse drivers for profile switching, "Add non-Steam game" for Steam Input/Steam Link) don't work. Also, and I don't know how common this is among Game Pass games, but when I uninstalled the Game Pass version of CrossCode, it deleted my loving save file. Not cool.

I got on that free three months of Game Pass deal while it was still up and I can't praise it enough. Once I have to pay I will probably have nothing but complaints. I am a small, petty man.

I will never forgive MSFT for kicking me off their 5 cents a day game pass error. Just let everyone who managed to subscribe during the 3 hours you hosed up have it forever.

Getting off topic but we all used this crazy deal where signing up for 1 dollar converted up to 3 years of Xbox live with you can usually find a deal for like 5-6 bucks a month, to game pass ultimate, which included console and PC. It’s a crazy value. I don’t know if that deal is still a thing, but every once in a while a similar price will pop up for regular game pass cards. But you do miss out on some cool stuff which keeps me coming back to this thread.

I did that and had gotten the xbox live on sale from costco so it averaged out to some ridiculously low price per month, it was a huge deal. Now I am a little bummed I just did 2 years instead of 3 because it is up in December  Game Pass is still a great value though, especially if you see some stuff on there you want to play. You could easily just cancel after a month or two and hop back on again when something new is added. Just wish they would get EA Play on there like they’d been promising

I guess I answered my own question, the DLC for this is at least pretty straightforward about what’s on offer. Seems like most big-budget games now I can’t even decipher what they’re trying to sell at each premium tier

There’s a few great titles on that, I subscribed to the EA origin non-premier thing for a bit and there was some excellent content for the price (like $25CAD for a year iirc).

I can't find it in the cyberpunk thread, but recently a game came out that was hard to describe; tags were: furry, rhythm, dystopiac. You were a Civil servant who had to pump their own blood when their blood vessels burst from all the paperwork. Also a fox?

That Loop Hero game mentioned a few pages back is amazing. The mechanics are fantastic and doesn't stomp on your balls, but it can if you want it to. It's pretty cool how they let you ramp up the difficulty to gain way more resources, or keep it steady if you want to chill. Love it. I like games that lets you have a little control on the difficulty but still make progress. Neat.

treat posted:This is unironically charming as all hell No kidding, the dev clearly decided to double-down on doing programmer art and he WENT for it. I admire that gusto! I also bought the game, and so far my impressions are that it's extremely, profoundly indie, as in one-man studio indie. It tries to explain what you should be doing but I didn't realize you want to load your spellbook with spells because they're all single-use. When I'm more awake I'll give it more shots, because there's something nifty in there.
