Oh, well. I'm downloading Fallout76. The show made me really want to play one of those games, so it was successful in that way 

 

Why howdy there pardner! I see you have downloaded and installed Fallout 76. A good choice! However I do not mean to be untoward partner, but did you actually mean to download Fallout New Vegas? It's an easy mistake to make pardner, so I thought I should remind you that Fallout New Vegas is also available on gamepass! 

 

 

Just go to manage storage and clear that space away and make room for Fallout New Vegas, it's easy! Anyway thought I would just try and help you out there pardner, it's an easy mistake to make. Don't be afraid to holler if you need anymore tips on installing Fallout New Vegas! Happy trails!

No, I've played NV and the PC version has no achievements. 

 

I've played some Fallout 76 before and didn't hate it, but that was a few expansions ago so want to see if the game has improved.

Scratch that, 3 of the Nintendo Indie Showcase games are coming to GP day 1

Jedi Survivor coming to EA Play which is on PS and included with Gamepass

 

I thought this game was super frustrating gameplay wise and crucified performance wise, which combined made it very unenjoyable for me. But “for free”, it’s worth a look 

[Nag]

I tried the first and realised it wasn't for me so I doubt I'll bother with this one even for "free"

[Maf]

If you didn’t like the first one then don’t play the second. It’s exactly the same but bigger and more annoying 

[Nag]

Consider me keeping well and truly away then.😂

[spatular]

Played that one around the start of the year and really enjoyed it!

[Maf]

 

This game coming to Gamepass 30/05/24

 

Nice. I forgot about this game tbh, but it looks really cool. From the makers of Tetris Effect I believe? The music makes it sound like it. 

[spatular]

^ nice, been meaning to get that. although still might buy it to play in vr.

[Maf]

More Gamepass stuff (it just don’t stop)

 

 

Although apart from Tomb Raider not sure what I care about here 

[shinymcshine]

"Hey we're bringing the rebooted Tomb Raider games to Gamepass - what order shall we put them up ?

 

"Erm 3, 1, (then 2?) sounds about right ......"

 

Well at least they (are?) saving the best until last - Rise of the Tomb Raider was clearly the best !

[Maryokutai]

Rise is the second game I played when I got my Series X (first one was Mirror's Edge) because of the FPS boost stuff. Apparently the reboot here supports the feature as well, so it's finally on par with the PS4 version, ten years later.

 

From that lineup Brothers is probably the second-best game. Also the last game from that studio that was playable solo.

[Maf]

Feel like there are extra games leaving this month?

 

[Nag]

It's usually 5 or 6 so yeah a couple extra. 

[Maf]

No Achievements for Tomb Raider on PC. I'll never get behind Xbox's cross platform anything until they can start bringing consistent parity to both console and PC 

[Maf]

 

Immortals - finally. Although EA game so PC version won’t have achievements. I probably still play it there, though

 

Lords of Fallen is a nice add. They just had their final update to the game

 

Hellblade 2 obvs

 

Humanity might be most excited about. Forgot about it last year, but can’t wait to play 

[Nag]

Really looking forward to Hellblade 2 now... Still a little pissed it's gonna have a letterbox format (unless you have a wide-screen moniter... like everyone games on those 🙄) but it is what it is.

21:9 is kino, give me those black borders
