I just got to that part and almost did the same but got through them and a bit further for now. However I don’t think it’ll be long before I join you in freeing up the hard drive

I just can't fathom how they managed to make playing as a super hero so boring.
During the opening scene I was nearly falling asleep as ironman and hulk. Should have been the opposite!

So Disco Elysium is supposedly out on the 12th October and it's on the store but without a price, what chances a Game Pass release?

I'd strawberry floating LOVE a disco elysium gamepass release.

Having played it earlier this year on PS4 and vowing that any replay would be on something that can load the scenes faster, I was pretty much ok with buying again on Series X at some point, but if it should come to Game Pass at launch I might have to start that second playthrough a bit earlier than I anticipated.

The best of both worlds (for me) would be if there was a nice special edition physical release on Series X with a bit of tat thrown in (but not one that costs over £100). I'm not normally in to special editions etc, but its a special game and therefore deserving of one.

Leaving soon:
Scourge Bringer
Tales of Vesperia
Katana Zero
Gonner 2

Definitely need to play Katana Zero then. I don't think it's too long.

Same here. Haven't started it yet, but it's supposed to be excellent.

I thought it was a bit overrated. It was decent enough though.

Also the BF2042 beta for EA Play members is for 6th-10th Oct.

Looking like a no for Disco Elysium then. Surprised it's not priced yet, I thought they'd decided on £34.99.

I had my eye on The Procession to Calvary. Looks totally nuts, but I want to try it, so Game Pass is perfect.

And Visage will fit the bill for Hallowe'en.

I need to get back to visage.

"Enter the Ring of Pain".... no, no I think i will pass, thank-you.

Looks good. Interested in rift breaker and will try back for blood. Destiny 2 is an interesting choice and I might have a bash…. Maybe.

I was hoping for disco elysium, but hey ho!

Just read a few reviews of Visage. Sounds like excellent Haloween fayre. One to play after Evil Within 2.

Evil within 2 is an unbelievable game. Loved it.

It’s fantastic. Was this game largely overlooked? It’s like a semi open world Last of Us. I’m shocked at just how good it is and how plot lines and missions seem to develop so organically.

I’m playing it mostly on Series X, but played a bit on the One X earlier, and those next gen console load times are really made apparent. Reloading from death (a regular occurrence for me) are just about instant on the Series X.

It runs beautifully with unlocked frame rate on both though.

Tried Scarlet Nexus. There was a time when I'd be up for this type of game, but not so much these days it would seem. Played for a couple of hours last night and got bored.

Might have a look at The Good Life once it's available.

Yeah, The Good Life should release jsut as I finish No More Heroes 3. I like to have a Suda or SWERY game on the go at all times (i'm only half joking).
