Yeah I rinsed that quickly when it popped up on the leaving list. It was alright.


Same. That graveyard bit was a little... out of keeping.

Alien Isolation was my GOTY 2014, it's a masterpiece.

If you have any affinity to the original Alien movie, it's incredible.

I'd put it up there with Bioshock, Half-Life 2 and Halo CE.

Game Pass Quests have been added to the MS Rewards App on the console. Got an easy 300 points from playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Annoyingly i have already played it and completed it (there are still outstanding achievements but i wont be going back to it now).

It has prioritized Hellblade for a playthrough for me this month though, so that helps with my analysis paralysis.

Many people seem pleased to see it on the service, but all the reviews are pretty critical. I have never tried one of these games, are they any good? Anything it can be easily compared to?

JC 4?!! I'm happy with that, it's only out 3months and its X1X enhanced and apparently has a decent framerate this time on everything.

Bethesda to MS:

Quick, stick Fallout 4 back on Game Pass and people may forget how gooseberry fool 76 is and start buying it!

I really enjoyed Just Cause 4 - apart from the achievements not popping :x - so I'd definitely recommend giving it a whirl if you like the earlier entries in the series.

If you don't like them, though, this will do nothing to change your mind.

The weather effects are really impressive, too.

I called off his players' names as they came marching up the steps behind him....All nice guys. They'll finish last. Nice guys. Finish last.

It has elements of Mercenaries, GTA, Red Faction Guerilla, Ghost Recon: Wildlands, if you're familiar with any of them. I've not played 4 yet but 2 is one of my favourite open world sanboxes. I found 3 disappointing, but only because of its poor performance and long loading.

Well i have played GTA. I Like GTA.....
From your reply it would appear that its a genre i have not been close to for a while, so probably worth a spin. It sounds fun conceptually, but everything i have read suggests that the mission structure means you have to default to more "conservative" tactics rather than fully exploiting the zanyness that's on offer (limited time, protecting NPCs etc).
But there really is no reason for me not to see for myself.

Brilliant news about Just Cause 4. Would pay 20 for it on PS4 so free on Xbox is very nice. This, tomb raider and crackdown 3 have justified my game pass subscription.

Wish my image sig would work

Honestly, 3 weeks of Game Pass has justified my Xbox 1 X purchase. It's a complete game changer for me. My approach to games I want to try and games I want to drop when the fun stops is a complete revelation.
