Soo the Breaking Dead DLC for Graveyard Keeper is finally out for the Xbox One Version, sadly no new achievements, and they charge 5 bucks for it after a 7 Month delay compared to the steam Version (which got the update for free)... they said the DLC was in it's final stages in January...hum...I still kinda want it...
Has graveyard keeper gotten better? Didn’t it have a pretty rough launch

I've started using the list of games leaving Game Pass to look into things I didn't pay attention to before. Decided on JumpJet Rex over a replay of Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, it's a fun, dumb experience that's great for perfectionists. Also another great example of achievements adding challenge and replay value, although some of them are downright sadistic.

You guys all talking about playing new games and I'm over here on 62 hours of final fantasy 7.


Again.


For the 8th time.


In good news I just got the gold chockobo that I said I wouldn't do. So there is that. I'm on level 61 and starting to level up for the weapon fights which I also said I wouldn't do again. But hey achievements am I right.

I should be done pretty quick. By pretty quick I mean I only have about 5 minutes of story left.

But think of that 5 minutes left like it's the last five minutes of a football game and both teams have all 3 time outs still.
Eh, I did the same thing. The port looks and plays great, warts and all, and I have a renewed appreciation for the art direction and especially the soundtrack. The music adds so much personality and depth to the story and settings, it's easily one of the best soundtracks for a game ever composed. Despite its age and ugliness, it's much greater than the sum of its parts.

I knnow some peole had issues with the fluidity of the game, I played it first when it came to Gamepass and never had issues though. It gets a brit grindy to the end, that's why I was hoping the Breaking Dead DLC would have come sooner, Zombie workers help out a lot..

These 5 minutes sound like the 23 episode-long 5 minutes it takes Namek to explode. Stretch it out as long as you can.

Or for the good fights in the Tournament of Power to start. Which by the way they finally have!

I watched the subbed version of the episodes in big chunks early last year, and that is the best way to watch them.

 
Eh, good for me, I don’t have to buy NHL 19 now. Sucks for ppl with EA Access I guess. I was waiting to buy NHL 19 for a good deal during the Stanley Cup, so this is even better.

Rivals of Aether? Is this a game about Nas' diss track to Jay Z? Besides that I don't own three of those games (if we're not counting the Orange Box version). So meh, good enough.

 
Well it's official for Ghostbusters...

Still surprised this get's HD'er'ed and we have no remastered version of Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks still.
For some reason, WB and NRS have been unable or perhaps unwilling to cash-in on easy nostalgia cash grabs for older MK titles (mainly the first three games and Shaolin Monks).

The trilogy remake was started and cancelled twice (it was even announced at E3 2009 as a PS3-exclusive). Then an MK9 remaster was also in the works and then canned. Boon has stated he'd love to make another Shaolin Monks or even a remaster (Liu Kang has a brutality in MK11 in which he kills his opponent with a Shaolin Monks arcade cabinet) but it never goes beyond that.

On that note, why aren't Deadly Alliance and/or - mainly - Deception BC yet?

Looks like a decent month, been wanting to try one of the NHL games and always happy to have digital versions of 360 games I may already own.  I know I have the orange box and may have that EDF but my giant box of 360 games has disappeared from this material plane.  

 
I already own Rivals, but it's a really good game that I wish more people knew about, and I guess now more people will, so I'm OK with it.

If you're unfamiliar with it, it's a Smash Bros-style platform fighting game, but with a lot of interesting design decisions that set it apart from Smash itself.  One of the better descriptions I had seen online was "It's like Melee, but on purpose."

The base game has 8 (iirc) characters, and there are some DLC characters as well including guests Ori and Shovel Knight.

It was developed by a small team (mainly 1 guy on most of the programming, and then others brought in for art/music I think).  I highly recommend it.

You can never go wrong with replaying FF7 man it's just that damn good.Im currently doing a play through but I'm very early in the game.

I've always wanted this version of Portal for the extra content, but not enough to re-buy it. For GWG, I'll replay it for achievements and fun, and then finally play those 14 bonus levels.

Also, EDF 2017 sounds fun, Gamepro's review on Metacritic states:

"As fun as hurling dozens of rockets at a time into a swarm of giant alien ants is, it will get boring after a few hours. If you're up for a shallow yet addictive and gratuitously violent shooter, you can't go wrong with Earth Defense Force. Just take a break every few hours and read a book to rebuild some of the higher brain function you just lost."

Count me in!

Think it’s the “better” Ghostbusters game. Not sure if any of them can be considered great games. Though I liked this one enough to play it.
For fans of the films, it's great, even if the gameplay itself is just good to adequate. Akroyd helped write it and used a lot of ideas from the never-made third film, he said himself the game is basically Ghostbusters III.

Rivals of Aether? Is this a game about Nas' diss track to Jay Z? Besides that I don't own three of those games (if we're not counting the Orange Box version). So meh, good enough.
According to Steam, it's a Smash clone with a 9/10 user rating of over 4k ratings. Cool.

It's essentially a more competitive version of Melee with a In-depth tutorial for newcomers. Hopefully with it being free it'll boost the online population. Also is NHL a good game for someone who doesn't care for Sports Games?
 
FWIW, it appears the achievement list for Portal is slightly different than the list of Portal achievements from The Orange Box. So you might get a little bit different experience if you go for that stack. Otherwise, I'm happy for four games I don't have. 

 
Xbone GWG is good, feel for the EA Access subbers though. Still would have taken Sonic Mania over Rivals of Aether and wish I could switch my Handsome Collection disc for digital, but it's an improvement over other months.
Surprisingly, 360 GWG is the weak half this month. Another EDF (that isn't 2025) already? Portal (albeit the better standalone version) instead of the Orange Box? Meh.

Brad Sams says PC Game Pass will be included with Ultimate:

"According to people familiar with company plans, the PC version of Game Pass will be included with Ultimate Game Pass that was announced earlier this year for no additional cost."
Hooboy.
That Game Pass Ultimate deal just keeps on giving. :bouncy:

Not too bad of a month though I have EA Access so not thrilled when they add an EA game. Love the NHL series though and getting the most recent game is still a win. And at least we got a “better” mainline EDF game this time.

Will be interesting to try that Rivals game.
 
GWG looks ok. I'm in the same boat as gamegirlpocket as far as Portal Still Alive, I beat the original in La Boite Orange and didn't want to pony up for the extra levels.


Am I the only one that keeps misreading that as "Breaking Bad" DLC?
 
Excited for Gamepass on PC and there have been articles that if you have Gamepass Ultimate it works for both PC and Console biggest info is that they are now using Win32 for their Windows Store and moving away from UWP framework that they were so keen on forcing back then

a month where I don't own any of them?

 
The web marketplace no longer has any countdowns for items not currently on sale.  I did a scan this morning to see what was counting down for tonight's GwG drop and there was nothing.  Just ran another to see if there might've been a problem, but still nothing.  It was a good run, hope it comes back.

 
Never thought I'd be excited for a CoD game again, but a new engine, crossplay, the death of the season pass and readding the campaign sounds like a dream come true.
 
I don't get why they're dragging their feet about that. It's not like they have any plans to port the better version of 4 (aka 2025) or 5 which are already on PS4.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were hoping interest in the current games would drive some sales of the newest game available on Xbox. I'm not sure if the $49.99 price on the five year old 2025 is due to this reason or simply neglect.

Judging from the enhanced port 4.1 only being $19.99 on both PS4 and Steam, I'm guessing neglect.

I don't trust activision one bit. If they are getting rid of the season pass, they probably got something even worse to make extra money.

 
Outer Wilds is making me feel stupid. Some of these puzzles are driving me nuts. Like I figure out a few things but as I get deeper into the puzzle, I hit a wall. Probably something obvious I’m missing. Maybe I’ve just lost too many brain cells over the years.

One would hope the console versions would support keyboard and mouse support day one since that's doable now.
True but also PC is full of cheaters so they can go bone themselves. That’s why I play it on console instead of PC, so I honestly don’t want the PC trash messing up my clean console version. I quit playing Apex on PC due to being tired of aimbots. Xbox and PS4 cross play would be great though.

I think Activision is realizing that COD has a limited lifespan and interest level with other options available - especially so many free to play options. Fortnite, Apex, etc. are far more scary than Battlefield (to Activision) since they are free and not old model games. Getting rid of a season pass is Activision's way to adapt to free to play games. So when you think about it, it's kind of a pathetic attempt to compete in some ways (since they are still selling a full priced game compared to other free games and lower priced options). In other ways, they are still COD and don't need to compete on a level playing field.

New engine, crossplay with PC & consoles, and they're getting rid of the season pass.
With a name like that, they've pigeon-holed themselves into no sequels because Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is already taken.
