Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
I currently have the EA whatever is there a good way to switch to the gamepass offering and get additional months since I am an EA subscriber? I know some of you were able to stack some of the gamepass plans and get 4 years for $3 or some craziness.

Microsoft Closes Extra Cheap Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play Loophole

https://www.ign.com/articles/microsoft- ... y-loophole
Microsoft has officially closed a loophole that was allowing current Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users to extend their membership at a discounted rate by subscribing to EA Play. The original loophole involved buying an EA Play one year membership, which would auto-convert to four months of Game Pass Ultimate if you were currently an Ultimate member.
We've highlighted this trick plenty of times as it was an objectively great deal, and 50% off a whole year of Game Pass Ultimate if you stacked your purchase of EA Play passes. You can still convert EA Play to Game Pass Ultimate, but now it will only equate to an extra two months rather than four, effectively bringing EA Play conversion into the same price bracket as Ultimate ($14.99 per month).

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
Is there a more fun online game right now than Knockout City? Having a freaking blast. I can hold my own unlike the standard FPS. Love it.
Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
Funny, that game was "recommended" when I booted up the Xbox last night. It does look fun.sportdan30 wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 4:19 pmIs there a more fun online game right now than Knockout City? Having a freaking blast. I can hold my own unlike the standard FPS. Love it.

I need to check it out when I return from Indy. Looks like it has a nice Jet Grind Radio-Sunset Overdrive vibe to it.sportdan30 wrote: ↑Sun May 23, 2021 4:19 pmIs there a more fun online game right now than Knockout City? Having a freaking blast. I can hold my own unlike the standard FPS. Love it.

Make sure you guys check out the tutorial before jumping in a match. The controls are simple enough to learn.pk500 wrote: ↑Mon May 24, 2021 10:50 amI need to check it out when I return from Indy.

It's basically 3 v 3 dodgeball. You have to be hit twice before the other team gets a point. First team to 10 and best 2 out of 3.
You can also catch the ball, which takes some practice but can help you out of chaotic situation.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
Just a heads up Solasta is on Game Pass for the PC at least. If you're looking for a turn based tactical RPG that is a near 100% replication of the 5e D&D rules this is the one for you.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
I'm glad I gave Descenders a chance because it's a pretty unique game. At its core it is a downhill bike game with stunts. But then the game throws in procedural environments. Where the game becomes unique is that you eventually figure out its not really a BMX game but a Rally game on a bike. The environment and time of day changes as you progress. Then you find out there are RPG and Roguelike elements built in. It took me awhile to put it together but the game is pretty slick.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
So i see they added Original Xbox game CRIMSON SKIES! I absolutely loved that game back in the day. Loved the flying mechanisms and gameplay. I guess it's a way they give us non next gen owners a flying game since we can't play flight sim.
I downloaded and started playing AND OH MAN - IT LOOKS LIKE ASS! I hate to say that but it does. I couldn't keep playing it because i just couldn't take how bad the resolution and graphics looked on xbox one.
But still a fun game.

Psychonauts 2 is great!
The writing is just so good…
Played about an hour last night. Heard it’s about 15 total which will be perfect.

I am not a “platformer” but the game does look damn good.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
I hate Japanese games.
Hate em.
With one exception. Tenchu.
I used to love the stealth, ninja stuff in tenchu.
Aragami 2 is pretty much Tenchu. Fun stuff.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
Agreed, Teal and I played Tenchu on the original Playstation. The game though plays piss poor on the XONE i.e. stutters galore. Hiding and pulling off stealth kills never gets old. It’s part Ninja and part puzzle game. Getting into fight against the wrong dude can result in a quick death. I need to get my timing down on the parriy’s. Though the parriys are not as satisfying as they are in the Demon Souls remake.
Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
I hate getting noticed, and tend to hide rather than engage when spotted. But yeah, very big Tenchu vibes the further into it you go. And does this support co-op?

According to an article at Gamespot.com, Mass Effect Legendary Edition might be headed to Game Pass next week.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
I love the first 3 Mass Effects but I downloaded this edition on Origin Premire and couldn't even play longer than 1 hour. There is not enough new shiny to make me want to slog through it again.

Yikes...sounds like a game I'll have to play when I'm really in the mood for that genre.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
That said Mass Effect 2 is a game in my top 10 of all time. The original is as close to an old school game as one can find. It is in-depth and has an engaging story but there is a lot to read.sportdan30 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 5:37 pmYikes...sounds like a game I'll have to play when I'm really in the mood for that genre.

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)
I've been really enjoying Aragami 2 on gamepass.
If you remember the Tenchu series on PS2, this is very much like it. You're a ninja, have to use stealth to kill enemies and achieve goals.
For me who just plays sports games, this is the perfect challenge and doesn't get too complicated into RPG type of things.
The first Aragami was available i think a few years ago on xbox live gold free games but really never played it. I may go back to it after I finish 2.
