Hell yeah, can't wait to start this after work today!

It is so good. Everyone should give this a try and support these devs. This kind of creativity and quality is what the game industry needs more of.

I am stuck between playing this or the days gone remaster this weekend.

I never played the original days gone and it was sitting in my library for years

You’re in for a treat with DG. Amazing game

jznrpg2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Days Gone is a little slow in the beginning as you are fairly weak and your motorcycle is a clunker. Once you upgrade your skills, weapons and motorcycle a little bit, it is a lot of fun.

Also, once you get past the starter camp, the story opens up and is better.

Just wait until you come across your first horde—it is terrifying even in the later game. The biggest change I was hoping they would make to the game (which, in my opinion, severely detracted from the survival horror element of the game) is that gas canisters and gas stations contain unlimited gas. It would have ramped up the tension even further if this had been a limited resource. I would have even appreciated an option to toggle on/off, but there was not one. Otherwise, it's a fantastic game! Enjoy!!

I loved the beginning, especially going down ramps to save on fuel. Much more engaging. Stopping at random pits to look for supplies can be quite rewarding.”

there's no bad choice there

Day Gone is a open world where the driving around is actually fun instead of a chore.

Trying to decide if I play this or Lunar Remastered next. It’s hard for me to pass up Lunar but I might.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy for me. Picking it up from Best Buy next week.

jznrpg2d ago

If there was a PS5 version I’d get it right away. My kids have overtaken my Switch lately so I still haven’t got to Xenoblade X yet. When they stop playing I’ll play those 2 games.

Yui_Suzumiya19h ago

That's awesome. Also, a visual novel of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club released on the eShop / Steam along with a physical version for Switch from Japan that has English subs. So I'm definitely getting that because Nijigasaki is my favorite iteration of the Love Live franchise. I'm one of the few 42 year old Texans that enjoys Love Live and other idol anime, lol.

The craziest thing about it is that it was made with a development team of 30. How many employees do the big studios have? The likes of Ubi, EA etc couldn't dream of ever producing a game as good as this. Veilguard was the last RPG I played and this game is in a completely different league to that, how many employees did Bioware have working on that? Sandfall have wizards on their payroll or something to create something so amazing with just 30 employees. My GOTY so far by far and I'm only 8 hours in.

There is a thing called 'outsource'.

I wouldn't go that far, but it is very very pretty

Seems fine to me.

"People tried telling me that GP was some how dying."

They been sing the same some song since 2017. They never get tired of it.

Johnh522310h ago

Just beat avowed halfway through summer midnight just started oblivion best 20$ spent

thesoftware7308h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Good stuff, I'm 1/2 way through Avowed, started South of Midnight, and downloaded Oblivion lol.

ZeekQuattro9h ago

I specifically signed up last month because of everything that's been dropping in recent weeks. A sound investment imo.

jjb19815h ago

Its a crazy value now for Xbox gamers. Its gotten so much better now that better games are getting released.

I generally prefer playing on PS5 but gotta give credit to GamePass.

Some examples just up to July:
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black
Doom: The Dark Ages
Pro Skater 3+4
Oblivion Remastered
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
South Of Midnight
Avowed
Mad Mullet Jack
Blue Prince
Atomfall

Would cost a lot of money to buy all these Day 1. I love my gaming childhood but this much access to games would have been cool growing up.

Lexreborn25h ago

Sure if you want all of those games it could cost a lot of money. For me, I only wanted 4 of them on the list and I really don’t have a problem with buying them and letting them know I’m willing to support them.

GotGame8185h ago

Great! Go ahead and buy them!

Lexreborn24h ago

@got I did, playing Obscure on my ps5 now and have south of midnight installed on my pc and series X. Even bought NG2B day and date

Eidolon3h ago

Game Pass is about saving money, though. You do you, supporting developers is great, some of us are poor, though :(

thesoftware7302h ago(Edited 2h ago)

4 games is a good amount of playtime and easily over $100, and I would argue that playing their game on GP is supporting the dev, They track that type of stuff and were paid from MS for it being there.

Additionally it raises interest in a dev, and IP which is a big deal for ongoing development.

My point being , you playing on GP would still let them know you are playing, and your comment in no way dispells thae fact of the topic that GP is a great value at the moment.

Lexreborn22h ago

Gamepass ultimate is 20 a month, that’s 240 a year. And before you start talking about deals I’ve been down that road, I’ve done the 1dollars and stacking already. And truthfully? It wasn’t saving me money. I had a catalogue of games but I had the year to play them, and with the games rotating I had a couple months at best to play most.

You know how long I have to play the games I bought? As long as I please without being rushed. That was my biggest problem with having Gamepass and praising it for adding games I never get around to playing doesn’t make it a great value for me.

I don’t like feeling like I HAVE to prioritize a game. Heck I beat Star Wars fallen order THIS year after playing it the last 3 years. I am playing rise of the ronin, ghost of Tsushima and horizon forbidden west STILL. And it’s just micro chunks of each at a time.

I don’t praise the PS plus offerings either because of the same conundrum. I can also buy 6 games throughout the year for the same cost of both subscriptions combined with no time limit,

For me it’s not about being broke, it’s about time management. I work 5 days a week in an office, I get maybe 4 hours end of day those 5 days to balance time with my family and play a game or watch a show,

The subscription life for games don’t fit these windows for me. And that’s why I said SUREif you WANT ALL of those games. But not everyone does, some of us are cool with the 4-5 on the list we want and maybe even waiting for a sale.
