Been on the fence of The Division season pass. Grabbed the game quite some time ago on sale for a good price since I liked the beta. The new one is coming out soon and the original is still in my backlog and I plan to play it soon. Is the season pass worth it? I'm a bit on the fence on this one. Personally, I would like to just get through the main story for that title and don't plan on spending hundreds of hours on it. Any thoughts?
I was also tempted to buy it, I played about an hour before this week.. And since 2 is coming soon and 1 is on Gamepass.. There is no way i'm going to get to 30 and be able to play the DLC (much less complete it) before 2 drops. So i'm passing on buying it.

With my GCU ending in less than a month, there are a few physical games i'm probably going to grab along with sing the 25% code to double dip on one (a Gold/Ultimate/Special/Collector's etc) I'll be getting 2 on release.. so i'll be done with 1 and never go back.

Timesplitters 2 from OG Xbox?
Hope for this, expect Timeshift instead...

Keep meaning to get further into The Division, but just can't seem to. FYI, it is leaving gamepass in a few days.

 
100% agreed.

Also, Binary Domain will be bought if it goes BC. One of those games I've been wanting to play. Shame I can't use my Xbox credit.
I remember getting stuck very early on in this game on PS3 (I think) and I just stopped playing. It kept telling me over and over and over to get to the roof or something but I couldn't figure out how. It was so annoying how much and often it repeated it. I couldn't take it I was like STFU if you aren't going to give me a clue. Same issue I had with Crackdown the first time I played it. Stop yelling about what I need to do. I will figure it out (or look it up). Can't stand when the game nags the crap out of me. Played some Crackdown more recently but well it hasn't aged very well IMO. Played a few hours and haven't gone back to it. Will give 3 a try on Game pass but just never really got into this series. Hopefully it is a decent game after many delays.

I'd just go to YouTube for a story compilation at this point, or find a nice long written summary since the new one is so close. Definitely don't go for dlc when the population is going to drop even further.

I tried it recently myself and died every mission so I'm thinking it's not for me. I am interested in the story though, but I've been too lazy to do as I'm suggesting.
 
Been getting emails about The Grand Tour Game now.

Honestly, I just don't see that being very good. The Grand Tour is a huge franchise and I love the show, but something gets lost when translating it into a game. You're not hanging out with the trio, and it doesn't seem as immersive as watching them almost die on a gigantic bridge in the Amazon. It just looks like a mediocre racing game with some unusual TGT-style missions.

Has anyone played it? Is it good or worth the money?

Binary Domain is awesome, hoping for BC eventually. It is Sega so it has a chance. The gameplay is a slightly jank Gears of War, but with squad commands, which could be given with voice through a headset, though I don't know if that can be done with BC. You're fighting robots and their is a pretty cool destruction mechanic that changes how they fight as they get more damaged. The squad mechanics go beyond just combat commands, you build good or bad relationships with them that can affect the game as it goes on, like a mini-version of RPG companions. The story gets off the rails, definitely worth a play-through. It's actually from the team that makes Yakuza, but it flopped hard so no sequels were made.

I don't think it's Nier on the GamePass list. The blur is too long to only be hiding 3 letters.

I will figure it out (or look it up). Can't stand when the game nags the crap out of me. Played some Crackdown more recently but well it hasn't aged very well IMO. Played a few hours and haven't gone back to it. Will give 3 a try on Game pass but just never really got into this series. Hopefully it is a decent game after many delays.
...there was a staircase. How did you miss it? Man, I hope they never port the Yakuza games over if people can't even figure this out.

K need some advice. Have never really played any of the Assasin's creed games. But thinking of grabbing Origins & or Odyssey. Probably wont have time to play them right now so they will go to backlog. With that said.

Buy now & put in backlog or wait till they go cheaper if they will.
Std edition or get the gold for Origins & or Ultimate for Odyssey

Wasnt sure the DLC & weapon packs were worth the extra costs.

I do see the physical edition for Odyssey std is $5 cheaper but that doesnt matter as I have ~ $60 in my Microsoft account right now.

Thanks

These games go on sale all the time and the sale price is usually similar or decreases over time. Don't add them to your backlog unless it's a small backlog.

Also, do as I say, not as I do.

Keep meaning to get further into The Division, but just can't seem to. FYI, it is leaving gamepass in a few days.
Did not know it was leaving.. another good reason to not purchase the dlc.

I like the game, a little cheesy at times for me though. I end up getting killed sometimes because I can’t get out of cover when I want, not as easily anyway. I move away.. and it just doesn’t let me move, so when I am able to pull away I’m getting shot. Its like the A button wont register, or delays it when you are trying to move the character at the same time.. it’s wierd cause it doesn’t always happen. And then I stand up... and go immediately back into cover cause I’m mashing A lol.

Still fun when everything works. Will be picking up 2 for sure, but will probably never play 1 beyond what I’ve already played
 
I'd wait on Odyssey, it's definitely not a pairing you're going to want to play back to back. My 100% time on Origins was 99.5 hours according to True Achievements. I can't even think of a scenario where I left it on overnight either. Time estimates, if your going for something like that, on Odyssey look to be 80-100 hours. The weapons packs and what not are not that great from my experience, in Origins it's fine for the first 15 levels or so but you'll quickly out gear them. 

 
Glad I held off on Rogue myself! And had wanted to try the new Bomberman. Have Bloodstained (what is going on with the new game?) and Jedi Academy on disc but will happily take it on digital.
 
So far I've dodged bullets on the original xbox games I bought when they first came out and haven't owned the ones given away free yet but my luck will probably change going forward if they keep giving them away.

pretty decent month for me just because I don't own 3/4 which is always all it really takes to make a good month

Hoping the next original xbox game to hit gwg will be hunter the reckoning

I'm impressed. Another month of some great 2D games in lieu of indie games most people wouldn't play if they were free.

Does anyone know if original Xbox games are yours to keep permanently once Gold expires a la 360 games, or are they temporary licenses?
 
Almost bought rogue remastered also.
Anyone know how different remastered would be compared to the 360 version of a x1x? (I’m sure there is a comparison video out there on YouTube..)
 
Close call. I was going to wait til the month turned over to get Rogue Remastered but I’ll stick with the 360 version especially since the remaster didn’t drop to $15 like I hoped it would. Great to see Jedi Academy on there too. I still have my disc but that’s a great game.
 
I never owned an Xbox original, I only played Halo on it and so many of my friends had it I never bothered since I was busy playing Counter strike and Warcraft on pc. These original Xbox games dropping are a great chance for me to see some of the games besides Halo that came to Xbox.
 
Bloodstained is a great retro throwback. I paid $7 and don't regret the purchase despite GWG. Achievements require about 5 replays through the game, but once you go through it once, it can be beaten in about 2 hours or less, and it's generally fun to replay.

Of course there's an Assassin Creed sale where the one thing I'm interested in (Odyssey's season pass) isn't on sale.  I remember Origins' season pass started having discounts pretty shortly after release, so it shouldn't be that much longer...

And this is just the “pre game” . The big release for this dev will be Bloodstained Ritual of the Night coming later this year. Bet going GWG is to help generate sales for it.
 
What an amazing GWG month. I've played AC Rogue, so I don't mind owning that one digitally. Always wanted to try that Star Wars game, but never got around to it. The X1 games I can finally play too. Been wanting to buy those for awhile. I am quite a happy camper. Thank you Microsoft!!
 
Pretty decent month for GWG. Finally own 0 of them, but I still can’t say I’m thrilled about OG Xbox games counting for 360, though at least this is a solid choice out of the bunch. Also, I played Curse of the Moon on 3DS and didn’t particularly enjoy it. It’s incredibly short, the visual style looks like ass (I know, it’s intentional) and I prefer Metroidvania to Classicvania. Super Bomberman R however, definitely makes up for it.

And it has awesome 8bit music I assume?If so I can not wait to play this.
 
Just recently beat Bloodstained for the first time the other day.  Great game, takes a difficulty spike towards the last couple levels but still an old school blast.  If you dont have it already than you are in luck.  Looking forward to Bomberman as well.

 
I don't own any of next months games but I have gotten 100% on rogue with a hard copy but having it available is nice.

If I recall correctly it isn't a true remaster but an upgraded port. There would probably be framerate increases and slight graphical improvement but nothing amazing. I haven't played the X1 version yet but with the 360 version being free I'd recommend only getting the remaster if you're a big fan of the franchise.
 
With gamepass clearly influencing the selections,I hope for Microsofts sake GwG ends very soon. Another absolutely abysmal month. MS hasnt had a decent GwG month since probably 2017, while Sony is just absolutely embarrassing them.

Also, WTF is up with all the Assassins Creed and Star Wars games? What in the hell gives them the idea that it's a good idea to release a game in each series almost every month?

I'm personally happy with this month. To each their own, I suppose.
