Great news and great value for gamers.
Gamepass is unprecedented as the best subscription service in gaming.

Jin_Sakai1865d ago

Yea a game that hasn’t went anywhere. They added some pandas, an aquatic update, and about 500 skins. This game could be so much more.

lxeasy1865d ago

@jin_sakai you sound mad that gamepass is doing so well. Thats all the gamepass haters say on this website when more games get added on to this amazing service. " a game that hasn’t went anywhere" or my favorite " this game is bad anyway" lol

King_Noctis1865d ago

What else can they add after adding in so many new features? Also Mojang has sped up development by a large margin after they are acquired by MS.

Let just stop with the blind hate.

TheUndertaker851865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

They’ve also added new craftable items, the aquatic update you referred to added new mechanics to swimming, water, new sea life, explorable shipwrecks, underwater fighting mechanics improved, and more. That’s from one single update.

Many of the skins are because of the addition of creator content which allows people to create new assets then share them with the community for a price of their choice. All packs are also now available across all platforms short of PlayStation upon purchase. Sony is choosing not to participate in crossplay so they receive fewer benefits because of it. Slower updates, missing components of updates, and other problems.

Then finally I can see my sons playing Minecraft on their Android based tablets while I’m on my iPhone, Xbox One, or PC. I’m capable of joining them regardless of platform and don’t have to worry about, “Ok, they’re on PlayStation so I have to be on PlayStation”. Then I can invite my nephew who we don’t always get to see and he can join from his Xbox, iPhone, or iPad. For me crossplay allows this so I do see it as a huge benefit. Minecraft has a good implementation of crossplay imo.

To say Minecraft hasn’t went anywhere is absurd. They’ve supported it quite a bit and made some good additions in both the form of cosmetics & mechanics plus increased potential gameplay.

Kabaneri1865d ago

Actually they have changed so much I find it hard to play now....

heyimkevinsully1865d ago

And I don't know about you, but *I'M* certainly not going to argue with The Undertaker.

MisterLou1865d ago

That is why they are making Hytale.

Glad I get to finally Check out Minecraft

heyimkevinsully1865d ago

It's not really MY cup of tea, but I totally see why so many millions of other people like it. I suppose I just don't have the patience for it. But I hope *you* like it!

jznrpg1865d ago

Who doesn’t own Minecraft by now? It’s on every device possible and it’s super cheap

rainslacker1864d ago

I'm really looking forward to playing it in halolens now that I can get one for only $3500. Of course, halolens is its own computer, so I don't need an XBox or a PC, and I have a couple different copies of Minecraft on different platforms, and AFAIK, Game pass isn't on halolens right now.

King_Noctis1864d ago

Wtf are you on about Rainslacker?

DJStotty1864d ago

What's halolens? Is this your really bad attempt at trolling?

I think your referring to hololens, and not only that you are referring to hololens 2 for business at $3500 USD

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name38d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno38d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno38d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure37d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.

Minecraft Bedrock Introduces Official Add-Ons To Marketplace

Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.

Jin_Sakai58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.

“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”

“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”

OtterX57d ago

So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
