Played Two Point Hospital for an hour or so last night, really REALLY like it. I think it's because it was only my first Hospital but the amount of times my docs and nurses went on break and lines formed was annoying and I see no way to have 2 docs in one office but I presume you can when you get to bigger hospitals.

Love the layout, it's really clear and intuitive plus picking up and dropping your staff is both brilliant and adorable.

Played more of Yakuza 0, I love it, to be honest, I've not been on it enough because of DayZ but honestly, the praise it receives in here as a series is well worth it.

It really feels like a couple of generations out of date in terms of the feel of the movement and just how limited and small the environments are in terms of scale and interactivity. There were also about 5 different styles of dialogue / cutscene implementation within about the first 20 minutes - really awkward to keep adapting to!

It's basically a remastered PS3 game.

It's only 5 yeas old but it feels like a game from 20 years ago. Like I say I'm not writing it off or anything as I've barely touched it, was just surprised at how archaic it felt!

I'm on the 4th or 5th Hospital. If it keeps happening build another room or as a short term measure hire another nurse/doc then send the low energy person on a break then swap in a fresh person.

Was loving Two Point, but lost a load of progress on the Hospital I was working on (I was 3 years in so numerous autosaves had kicked in, plus I did my usually double quick save before exiting the game). When I relaunched it it had no progress whatsoever with that Hospital. So that’s it for me. Not sure what I would even advise to do to prevent that happening to you, maybe make sure you back out to the world map and save from there?
Shame anyway, first time I have had a problem like this for years.

I noped out as well. It’s a little strange.

I’ve become so accustomed to Game Pass coming up with the goods, I now find myself irked and slightly resentful that I might have to pay for Doom Eternal.

Same with me and Animal Crossing. And that's not even the same console :fp:

Anyone had any issues with remote downloads? Mine has stopped working for some reason.

This plus losing my progress in Halo Reach has not made for a positive game pass experience.

Are you in the preview program? I used to have lots of issues when I was in it, better to leave if you are. As for remote downloads, I haven't used them recently but i'll let you know if I can't do it.

What Reach Progression are you on about because I think I had same problem with Sword base mission (2nd one). I put about an hour in and then logged off, went back and to 'continue' and it started at very start, not at checkpoint. Although miffed I didn't mind and played through entire mission and will do from now on to be sure.

No I'm not, it's always worked fine for me and it still brings up a message saying 'added to que'. My console is set up correctly both on the app and the settings to allow remote downloads.

Yeah I think it was that mission, I got to a checkpoint when you get into the base and lock the doors after getting overrun. I loaded it up on the streaming app which might have caused a problem I guess but everything else has worked fine.

I can never get remote downloads to work for PC. In all honesty the downloads from the Game Pass app on the PC itself tend to have trouble more often than not. It's still in beta on PC so I'm cutting them some slack but they really need to get it up to scratch soon, it needs to be more reliable and also add a bunch of features that other PC game stores/hubs have - game backup being a big one.

On Steam/GoG/uPlay I can backup games to a second drive and restore them easily to save space on my SSD but Game Pass doesn't let you do this so if you swap games out you have to download them all over again.

Remote downloads didn't work for me at all till about 5-6 months ago they just started working, no idea why. My auto updates have also kicked in.

My remote downloads have been flaky but my download of Pikuniku via the ios Game Pass app worked today.

Remote downloads for me are very hit and miss. Sometimes they work perfectly, sometimes it won’t work at all.

Never work for me anymore. It only starts downloading when I wake the 1X from suspend.
Interestingly I’m not in the insiders program(that I know of) , but I had the dashboard update way before it was apparently officially released. So maybe I am but never actually opted in? I’m not sure how I would tell?

And Slay the Spire is just fantastic isn’t it? Just cleared it as the Silent. I’m guessing something additional happens when you clear the game with all 3 characters? So far I have only done it with the first two.

I like Gamepass, but why does SoT update on my Xbox One automatically, but not the pc? So strawberry floating annoying when you go to play it and bam 9.1GB update.
