MK11 launch on game pass would be amazing, but seems really unlikely. MKX sold 5 million copies in its first few months. Warner Bros doesn't need the game pass money.

MK9 would still be cool. 9 has a great roster, and the gameplay in MK11 looks to be Injustice slow.
I doubt this could happen, but Microsoft gamepass needs more exposure and I think MK11 could be the perfect game to launch on Xbox gamepass. WB will still get millions of copies sold on ps4, switch and pc. Also the game would most likely be on gamepass for 3 months max, at that point most who enjoy can buy it at a sale price.

Need for Speed Payback - $6.60 - 67% off


Tempted. I know it's bad though, should I just keep playing FH4?

Edit: Actually, I haven't played any NFS on Xbox One so looks like Rivals is also $5?
I've got the disc version still factory sealed that I bought at Target on clearance for $5.98 back in January. Obviously, I haven't tried it yet, but Rivals is a pretty fun game (I own it on PS3 and PS4 already). The game that's just called Need for Speed apparently requires the user to be online to enjoy it which is stupid.

But what kills me with EA is that they refuse to discount the DLC on games like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Need for Speed: Payback in a logical fashion. It's less for me to rebuy both games that I already own with the DLC than it is for me to just buy the DLC separately. Insane!

 
I Mean, is it worth getting Battlefront II if I have an interest in their horde mode? I Already beat the campaign when I had EA Access.

 
New punch cards in the app:

Aftercharge - earn two achievements +200

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - earn two achievements +200

Shadow of the Tomb Raider - earn two achievements +200

New games added in February - earn one achievement +100

ID@Xbox - earn 4 achievements in any ID@Xbox game on gamepass +400

Discover new games - 1 achievement in family games, 1 in recently added click two boxes on the card +20

Complete all quests +500

All expire on the 31st

After a cursory look Rocket League and The Gardens Between would be the fastest ID games. TGB takes about ~2hr in total to complete, if that and it is quite an enjoyable puzzler.
So this was really easy to get through this month. I already did it all. Although the complete all quests one is the only one that hasn't unlocked. Anyone know if that's supposed to unlock once this is all over? Or is it just the only delayed one?

 
How can there be so many games on sale and not a single one is a must buy?
Because many of these games have been on sale before and some of them were cheaper the last time around.

In other news, I decided to go ahead and install my Need For Speed: Payback disc and test out the game so that I can help you guys to make your purchasing decisions. And speaking of stupid decisions, I re-bought Need for Speed: Rivals on Xbox One, but I was considering that one anyway since it was only $5 and I enjoyed the game on the PlayStations. I will probably play it more on the Xbox One since that controller is far superior and doesn't make my hands hurt like hell.

Anyway, I will report back a bit later with my impressions of Payback.

Anyone know the length of each DLC part for AC Odyssey? 3 parts are out roght now. Thinking about rebuying the game. I already 1k the base game.

Bought AC Origins last week and going to buy AC Odyssey tonight before the sale ends, but was wondering if the Ultimate Edition DLC (Kronos, Herald, Capricornus) is worth the $6.60 increase.

 
I wouldn't rule out MK11 on Gamepass, MS might be willing to cut that check. Depends if there are microtransactions.
 
Based on the timing, I smell a free play weekend incoming, with the usual accompanying discount.
Stolen from a discord I'm in but that Gamepass twitter message was "No Explanation Needed" ... just because (4)?

Squeenix no stranger to their titles hitting Gamepass pretty early, like Rise of the Tomb Raider just a bit ago...

 
Everspace looks like a solid price and I have enough credit from cashed in points. Probably going to pounce on it soon enough.

I know it was slightly cheaper on ps4 but I have credit on Xbox soooo

Also wouldn’t be shocking because I don’t think it sold very well and has had deep discounts already.

After installing Need For Speed: Payback, I tried it out, and I like it so far. The single-player mode is somewhat character-driven in that you are part of a racing crew. The members of the crew weren't douche-bags who were trying to be extreme. It's kind of dumb, but that's usually the kind of thing that will make me turn off a game. And, the opening scene is long enough for you to get used to the handling. Drifting isn't extremely difficult, and I would say that it's better than it was in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, a game that felt like you were constantly moving back and forth on a hockey rink. I can't say at this point if the DLC is worth it or not since I don't really have time for multiplayer, but I'm not really one of those guys who likes to have 100 cars to choose from either. All in all, I would say it would be worth $6.60 for the base game. At the same time, I can't say that I'm willing to re-buy the game just to get the extra content. I like Rivals more because you can play as a cop and force the street racers into crashing their cars. Hope this helps someone.

 
Pretty sure that's a new low for Pillars of Eternity. Tempted but will wait to see if anyone speaks to how good it is.

Battlefield V would be more tempting if it would hit the $23.99 PSN price it's been at before.

To those asking about pillars

I bought it and liked it for about 10-15 hours.
Got tired of not being able to level up and being stuck.
I still have it installed and think about playing it but haven't in a month or so.

It was $15 in July last year also and has been $20 a few times.

Not sure why I am struggling to buy AC: Odyssey Gold. I just have no idea when I will play it. I also have a returnable vanilla copy that makes me think it will be all the game I will need. 

 
Anybody have surviving mars? Worth it or no also is the base game fine or do you really need to go the route of the other 2 versions that are on sale?
 
Does the horde mode involve slaughtering endless waves of Ewoks or Gungans?
I'll be honest, if the game let's you play as a gungan and basically you have no attack button, but a "hilarious, stupid antics" button, which somehow dispenses of droids or clones or whatever you're fighting, I'd totally be down.

 
I think the new Mortal Kombat releasing day and date on Gamepass would be maybe a stretch, 9 does seem overdue for BC treatment but they do have a potential hang-up with Freddy and Kratos DLC. That said I also don't think it's a crazy as some here do. With all the moves and rumored moves that MS is putting in place to push GamePass hard this year, and the incredibly deep pockets they have, releasing a 3rd party game with that kind of stature will happen probably sooner than later. There was a time where Netflix was full of documentaries and stuff that rated a little bit above Mystery Science Theater 3000 status. 

 
Debating on AC: Rogue Remastered before the sale ends. Rogue is the only AC game I’ve never owned. Hmm...

I should wait and see if it hits $10. Not like I will get to it any time soon.

It's gonna be MK9.
MK11 is out at the end of April, so they'd save the announcement for the beginning of April as opposed to March (if they were to do something crazy like that).
Gives people a month or so to play MK9 while getting hyped for the next game.
They mentioned ages ago they were gonna bring it to BC, seems as good a time as any.
Kratos wasn't in the 360 version but Freddy is a hypothetical problem that they've had a year or two to solve.

Just Cause 4 will be the big addition/headliner this month since 3 is already on there as of January. Squeenix must love Game Pass.

This is absolutely me.

I played the game for a dozen hours...and suddenly hit a difficulty spike and decided I wasn't loving the game anyway. Dropped it then and there.

I keep thinking I'll give the game another chance, that I should love it more than I did....but that was 8 months ago. Realistically, I'm done.

It's a very good one, I went through the 360 version pretty quick lot in common with Black Flag game design wise, but man Ezio Collection just dropped to $10 this sale and they wouldn't budge on the big discounts but they finally did. I'd wait it out.

Yeah obviously Kratos wouldn't be in the 360 version, but with Freddy it's just one of those interesting things that seems to hang up the huge library of 360 stuff were not going to get with licensing rights. Again it's just a DLC character but might take more work than it's worth.

 
:xb1:Need for Speed Payback - $6.60 - 67% off

Tempted. I know it's bad though, should I just keep playing FH4?

Edit: Actually, I haven't played any NFS on Xbox One so looks like Rivals is also $5?
I picked Rivals up at $8 and kind of regret it. It just hasn’t really evolved much since I remember playing it back in the early 2000s. That being said, it’s my understanding that Rivals is the best NFS so far this gen, so take that for what you will. Hard to go back to this arcade type of racing after playing a lot of FH in my opinion.
 
Trying to figure out if I should go for AC Odyssey. I stalled halfway through AC3 because I just got bored as fuck. I still have AC4, Syndicate, and Rogue in the backlog. I've loved all the AC games and their dlc up until 3, but I'm still so far behind. Also considering Origins. Will the story be completely jacked if I skip to Odyssey or Origins?
