American McGay posted:Noticed that Carto is on Game Pass after seeing a tweet earlier today about it being on sale on the eShop. I thought it looked charming but not charming enough to spend $15 on. Didn't expect to see it when I was checking the Game Pass library just a few hours later. I got the Series S and Gamepass and holy poo poo, Xbox is light-years ahead of the other consoles with Gamepass. I beat Carto this weekend and I've been playing through a bunch of other games I would've otherwise had to pay for.

enojy posted:Yes, mainly because Akira Yamaoka is involved with the soundtrack. This automatically puts it above The Evil Within as a worst case scenario. Yacht Club is the publisher, not the developer, fwiw. Good to hear, I was thinking about buying it.

I've read two reviews, one that says the first half is great but the second half isn't and the other says the opposite. Hopefully I'm the person who enjoys both halves.

mem posted:Well Cyber Shadow took me twelve hours and 572 deaths to beat. Pretty good, it's no shovel knight though. Did you notice any weird difficulty spikes in Cyber Shadow? I feel like the game really tried to put me through the wringer starting in chapter 2.

It looks like the Mass Effect remaster is coming to EA Play Pro and regular (Gamepass) subscriptions will just get a discount, based on the EA and Microsoft storefronts. Hope that changes before it's released, I don't want to pay for it.

TheScott2K posted:Kind of enjoying scrolling GamePass with my 5 year old and installing whatever looks interesting to her so she can play it for 5 minutes or 5 hours. For little kids it's great being able to let them "shop" without having to buy games they may or may not like/be able to understand. It's the modern equivalent of getting an emulator and a stack of roms.

Backwards compatibility is more about architecture and media compatibility for the non-Xbox consoles. The switch isn't backwards compatible because Nintendo isn't putting a disc drive into a portable console. The ps4 wasn't backwards compatible because of PS3's weird architecture. The PS5 is backwards compatible with the PS4.

There's an Assassin's Creed sale this week but with all the versions and bundles there's no great way to get a bundle AND DLC for recent games. It's strange, the only winning move is not to buy.

If Alpha Protocol was made backwards compatible, this would truly be the perfect console for me. I've been playing Metal Gear Rising and Tetris Effect and that's all i really want.

Minecraft Dungeons is fantastic if you want to play a game with no critical thinking involved, just making number go up. Unfortunately, pausing the game just displays a menu, it doesn't actually pause the gameplay so you can take damage in menus. It makes sense for the online component but as a single player offline game... yikes.

SUNKOS posted:This is why I really wish console manufacturers and Valve could agree on something to allow a Steam store on consoles. If EA can do their own thing (I know Sony was against it but Microsoft didn't mind) then I'm sure an agreement of some kind could be made that benefited everyone involved. PC gaming is a headache but there's lots of cool little indie games that will never come to console. Same goes for Itch.io as well, if they could put their store on consoles and work out some cut/percentage deal it would be great. lmao, this is dumb as hell. steam does no curation and adds no value to the process, they're not going to be shepherding the indie games you want onto consoles.

meat police posted:In other boring news I wanted to play Orange Box without a disk in my 'box but it wasn't purchasable digitally. There's some archaic storefront page you can go to to buy it for the 360 which adds it to your account to be played on Series X/whatever. In case anyone wanted it Thanks, i was looking for this a month or two ago. My fiance and i replayed Portal 2 on the Xbox, passing the controller back and forth, and had a blast.

I said come in! posted:Emulators are terrible and almost always cause games to have game breaking bugs that prevent them from being completed. They are issues that crop up that wouldn't otherwise happen on their native hardware. C'mon, that's blatant hyperbole. Unless the only games you're playing are Speedy Gonzales for the SNES, you can complete the vast majority of games with modern emulators.

Doctor Nutt posted:Taking my series x away for an out of town weekend where we will have no internet access. Anything I might run into with it or is it essentially just as functional offline as the bone? Just don't want to fire up rock band and then realize that it needs to phone home for some rights nonsense even though the console has been connected to the internet at home since setting it up. I seem to recall this happening to me once or twice with older consoles. Not to be an rear end in a top hat but why don't you just turn off the internet and see how it works?
