I've had Raji on my wishlist for years, Gamepass wins again.

for a game that is supposed to really shine at shooting the gently caress out of some nazis, the guns all feel mostly like impotent pea shooters.

like nothing feels heavy or hard hitting.

I have to disagree, the guns kick like hell and against normal soldiers, they feel powerful. especially the shotguns, they rip through limbs like paper

The problem is, there are lots of enemies walking around in giant suits of plate armor. Not that having powerful, bullet sponge enemies is a bad design choice, it breaks things up from just being all cover based enemies, but they’re all basically just varying strength versions of “armored guy with strong gun who walks at you slowly” and your only real tactic most of the time is to peek and shoot them a lot

Raji isn't anything groundbreaking gameplay-wise, but the setting is really neat, and the story is okay riiiiiiight up to the very end when it seems like they ran out of money .

I'm actually really happy to see that title coming to gamepass. The trailers looked awesome but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on purchasing it on Switch or Xbox. Thanks Gamepass.

Also I've been really enjoying Forza Horizon 4. The opening segments were annoying because I just wanted to get out and drive my car around drat it, but once they open up the free roaming it gets so much better. I especially love driving extremely expensive cars off cliffs and through fields all while blasting classical music. Horizon got its hooks into me enough that I bought it and a bunch of the DLC.

I'm pretty hyped for Horizon 5 especially since it's coming to Gamepass. New mountains and cliffs for me to launch expensive cars off of :getin:

90% of my time spent playing FH4 is just driving my super souped out Land Rover SUV back and forth around the windmill area trying to rack up a 2 million point combo, and I'll do it again tomorrow.

Death’s door looks very cool but as an Xbox exclusive indie I can’t be wrong in thinking it must come to gamepass right?

No idea, but it's fairly clear that Game Pass is rewarding the patient.

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

The only money I'm spending on games these days is the money I've earned by gaining MS Reward points, which is about 10 bucks every 3 months and that money has an expiration date so I can't save it up for a big new game every time. Game Pass is keeping me busy enough. I don't know if Microsoft loves me or hates me now.

Basically anything on Xbox could come to Game Pass. If you want to wait that's fine.

The game costs barely more than a month of Game Pass Ultimate right now, so if it's something you really want to play I say pick it up. It seems really neat from the limited amount of time I've played it so far.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

The points don't expire, don't turn them into store credit until you want to buy something.

If you're getting points from doing the auto redeem thing in Microsoft Rewards they do expire after 3 months. But only if you're specifically doing that.

Revisiting the original Dead Rising, which means I've been driving through the tunnels for several hours to rack up 54,000 kills. Does anyone remember if hiding in a bathroom until the clock runs out counts as an ending? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes but want to make sure so I unlock the Real Mega Buster.

Yes. You can wait out the clock and turn up at the helipad, or you can just miss it.

You have to be on the helipad when time expires in order to unlock the buster but you're free to ignore all cases.

I've also had an itching to go back to DR, then I remember that it maybe has the worst control scheme of all time.

It's not too bad, but aiming a gun is weird as heck because it uses the left stick by default. Thankfully there's an alternate control scheme that moves it to the right stick, though that's all it does.

For me the hardest part was how slow Frank moves in the beginning. Until you get a speed upgrade it's almost like you're playing Morrowind.

I bought a bunch of Assassin’s Creed games during the last big sale and holy poo poo is Black Flag awesome. I’m having so much fun just sailing around with my pirate buddies collecting chests and raiding forts. It’s such a relief right after playing AC3 where I just mainlined through the story because everything felt like a chore.

Go back and play 2 if you haven’t. It’s still the best game of the series imo.
