Guardians of the Galaxy is fucking awesome. Cloud FS2020 is good, too. That game is huge and I only play it once every month or so.

Well I am on it now its worth a shot.
Loving game pass. I actually never thought I'd enjoyed it but its actually quite fun.
How do you get through every ending? New game or? If it's new game each time then I can't be bothered lol.

It's a very convoluted process lol, trust me. I think there's 25 endings, most are just a humorous joke scene you can get. There's like 4-5 real endings. Ending 2 is a bit of a grind because you replay about half the game with a new character. Then after that, the endings actually move the story forward like a season 2 in an anime or something. It's pretty different.
If you get ending A in 2 weeks that's better than nothing. Can watch the rest on youtube if you want, but there is a lot of game left after that.

No other company has allowed owners of previous generation consoles to play current non-cross generation games. Kudos to MS for pushing the industry forward and doing something that benefits gamers, even the gamers that don't have the latest hardware.

I think it’s too early to call GOTG the GOTG

I find for me, I get a far more reliable connection and response from streaming on an xbox vs pc or tablet. It's also been very random on tablet/computer, one day ok, next day bad, not sure what makes it worse and less consistent. I've pretty much given up on it for now until they improve it, meanwhile console based is working really well.
Glad to see guardians this month, was interested in it for sure.

It's a linear, narrative based 3rd person action game. It's like Uncharted in that regard. The combat you play as Star Lord, which involves blasting, dodging, and commanding your teammates. Each teammate has 4(3?) special abilities and you choose which to use and then they have a cooldown period. You sometimes solve puzzles by telling your squad to do certain actions, like Groot making a tree bridge to cross a gap. There's some smaller branching paths with loot, but it's mostly linear. The music, characters, and the writing are really great. Graphics are pretty good, too, depending on what platform you're on.

Only downside with this game is, that performance-mode looks like ass.
One of the few games you want to play in quality-mode. 4 times the resolution and higher detail there.

I don’t even buy games anymore. I just play game pass stuff and with my schedule that is more then enough for me.

Is Guardians any better than Marvels Avengers also on GamePass? Or is it the same thing with GOTG characters?

Guardians is a straight up single player game.
No Games as a service bullshit, no multi player, no war table or Destiny style "POWER" rankings.
Just a very good single player story game.

The service is indeed nice, but it just sucks when games gets removed. I am forced to play through nier before it gets removed.

NGL that's more of a personal problem lol, the game has been on the service for 2 years and if you intend to purchase it, you will still be able to do it with a 20% discount before it gets taken off, so you have the option to buy it much cheaper anyway too via your GP subscription.

looks like Z's let me know if the games are decent.

I have only had Game Pass for two years so it is kinda stressful to hit those games almost getting removed
and I don't want to pay 47 euro for Nier. Rumor is octopath traveler will be removed in April, and I also started on that. I am so stressed.

People don't seem to complain when things cycle off Netflix. But when the Xbox game subscription service does it, people seem to. I wonder why...?

That is a nice thing about gamepass. People are usually lazy to play the game, when its on the service for too long, like my owned games.
But when a game has a time limit, you to tend to complete it.

I do prefer to take it in my own pace, especially if octopath leaves next month as well

I didn't even get to finish spiderman, because I was busy playing other games. I am 58% done. Need more free times to finish it.
Welcome to 1st world problems. Too much gaming and less time to play them

I am definitely excited about Guardians of the Galaxy. Need to take a break from Forza and Yakuza and play through this one.

It has a raytracing mode now that‘s arguably the better option out of the 3. But yeah the performance mode looks terrible unless you’re still using a 1080p TV.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
Has anyone tried out cloud flight sim?
I think I may have fundamentally misunderstood what cloud streaming was going to bring to my Xbox Series S. I have played a couple of titles using the cloud and they seemed to perform as well on the cloud as installed directly on XSS (The Gunk) or even slightly better (Sable). In these cases I thought that there wouldn't be much of a difference regardless of hardware in how those games looked and ran, so they very well could have been streaming at XSX quality (with lower overall image quality due to the stream aspect).
I was pretty disappointed to see Flight Simulator seemed to look and perform worse streaming from the cloud than when it's locally installed on my XSS. Can anyone else confirm?
Again this isn't about the artifacts from streaming, but the fidelity and performance of the game being streamed. I have fiber internet, this definitely isn't an issue with my connection.

Game pass continues to be the best gaming service of all time.

Sounds strange to even write this but… I always wanted to give FF13-3 a shot. I really didn’t like 13, skipped 13-2, but always wanted to play 3 because it was just lightning lol and you get lots of costumes. But when will I even find the time? Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West just came out and they are already taking all my time for the foreseeable future.

So Guardians and Avengers on GP at the same time? I'd usually expect the prequel to leave.
Also FS plays amazingly well on xCloud via my Xbox One (

Guardians and Avengers are not related in any way, I don't expect either of them to leave for a while.
Depending on whether they signed a 1 or 2 year deal for Avengers, it will still be up till the end of this year at least.

Thanks for the heads-up. I have no idea what is going on. I'd post a video, but last time I did that, people made a bunch of ad hominem.Also FS plays amazingly well on xCloud via my Xbox One (
I have a weird issue where my series s has a bunch of artifacting but my phone doesn't. It used to be good on both and then bad on both and now just bad on one.
