fecking hell. Scam artists.
The backcompat program was part (albeit a small part) of the reason I came back to Xbox from PC. But then they abruptly stopped rolling it out. Didn't provide frame rate boosts - which they advertised hard and yet barely touched any title. Now they remove the free forever 360 titles from this.
Pointless.

It really is time they got rid of GWG.
This looks like it might be a fun play over Halloween.
It looks absolutely dire. Only 2 hours long too.
Those are rookie numbersGreat news for those of us with 20 games already in our backlog
MS first party exclusives have been appalling. Two years into the console and Scorn is the best they can fecking come up with.
Gamepass though!
In reality gaming as a whole is stale atm no matter what platform you own, i don't think i've been less interested ever.
Gamepass is great but part of the appeal was supposed to be day one MS exclusives and there have been feck all decent ones. Most games I play on it are 3rd party ones I never bothered to purchase or Indie titles - which isn't a bad thing, but it's still not good enough.
GP is having a decent few weeks for me. Dyson Sphere, Plague Tale, Persona 5 Royal, FM 2023. I'm going to ignore Scorn as it looks rubbish.
Say goodbye to your life.
I played it last year when it first came out and sunk 100+ hours into it, it was already so polished. Looks like they've added loads more since, I'll have to go again at some point when I have a week of nothing on.
Nice try but we all know Xbox is shit because they don't have as many third person story-driven action games.
Scorn first playthrough around 7 hours, out of some optimization issues, I adored the game, going for second playthrough tomorrow.
A few good games coming to GP this month. Amnesia is great and SOMA is a Vidyoyo recommended masterpiece
Looking forward to diving into Persona 5 and Amnesia Rebirth myself

Watched some gameplay for Scorn yesterday..would have been an insta buy but seems ultra repetitive (?). For the slow progressing tense type of games I still have to finish Alien Isolation. It's like a huge sword of Damocles hanging above me.
Persona feels like one of the best games to come to this service.
feck 343 they killed Halo. Infinite is still good fun to play online but the progression and unlocks are pathetic and the lack of campaign co-op a travesty.
I absolutely loved Persona 4 and played it on Vita at the time. It is such a long game though that I am inclined to clean up my backlog a bit before starting it, but won’t take too long… will probably finish AC Origins and Yakuza 0 and be right on it for the following three months.
I only recently learned this. It blows my mind to think that a mainline Halo title wouldn't have co-op. That feature is such a huge part of why people loved the series in the first place.
Another terrible month again *sigh*

Best lineup in a while, and the previous one was actually very good as well. My backlog is getting tight. I will probably have to put Pentiment and Monkey Island next on my list and push Persona 5 further down the line as that one will basically occupy me for like 3 months.
Ghost Song looks fantastic, I've had that on my list since I first saw it pop up. Pentiment is another one. I still don't really know what this game is about, but it looks interesting.

Right I’m getting myself an Xbox next month, undecided whether to get an Xbox Series S or Series X and there’s a bit of a price difference.
I want to play Football Manager 23 on a big screen.
Does anyone play it on a Series S? I know it runs 5 nations compared to Series X’s 10.
Game pass looks good too, there’s quite a few games I would play, A Plague Tale, Gears of War, Two Point Campus, Return to Monley Island, Flight Simulator, various Halo and Age of Empires 2 HD (in January) and Age of Empires 4, Starfield, both next year, and a few others. Always been a fan of Age of Empires games.
Im not too bothered by 4K gaming but I would usually buy the more expensive piece of equipment to future proof things.
Like if I bought the Series S would it be able to fully run Age of Empires 4 at maximum number of on screen units etc or does the Series S have to run all games?
Any Xbox veterans any thoughts?

No idea about aoe but you might fill that hard drive quite fast if you plan on having multiple of those installed. Flight Sim alone is huge. By the time you’ve bought the memory card for it you may as well have got the Series X, so something worth considering.
Yeah i'll probably get the Series X. Id be sat there kicking myself for not spending the extra £200.
If you can afford the X then it's a no brainer
Xactly
Signalis is an absolute gem of a game on Game Pass right now. It’s been amazing three weeks for subscribers with that, Monkey Island, Ghost Song, Pentiment and Somerville.
Pentiment is 10.43GB downloading it to see how it plays.
I started it to just get the feeling of the game as I wanted to play it later (after finishing Signalis and Somerville first) but ended up so hooked that I will probably just finish it and get back to the other two. It’s really not much of a game as there doesn’t seem to be any combat, puzzles or anything, it’s more like an interactive book but it’s so pretty, well written and engaging that it is a completely delightful experience.
Also, similar to As Dusk Falls your choices matter a lot and seem to shape the story in a significant way so replayability is going to be great.
I've been playing for a few hours now it has me intrigued. Yeah it remembers your decisions like at one point I had travelled to Italy so couldn't read French when looking at a book.
Down to page 3? For shame.
Bladed Fury is also available on Android for £3.79 if you wish to play a mobile game on mobile.

Colt Canyon is an absolute masterpiece
I don't see the point in these as you don't get to keep the game. I loved the 360 ones.
