[LakeOf9]

God damn, Metaphor is a big get

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Nice. Been wanting to try metaphor

 

[hemo memo]

This is ridiculous. In a good way.

 

[adamsapple]

Metaphor on GP sounds fantastic.

 

[Bridges]

Wow what a drop. Obviously Metaphor is massive. I've heard great things about Zau also. Really interested in To a T and I had no idea there was a second Monster Train but the first one was incredible.

This might throw a wrench in some of my plans, I was going to wait a few years for Metaphor but it might jump ahead in the queue now

 

[Darsxx82]

And this after a fantastic first fortnight.... Another great month for Gamepass.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Of course Metaphor is a good get but WHAT THE FUCK is Tales of Kenzera: Zau?

Did these people not know there is already a Tales of franchise? I'll be honest, I'm triggered.

Edit: What the fuck, there is also a game called Symphonia in this drop.

What is this world? What have they done to us?

 

[Nankatsu]

God damn, Metaphor is a big get

Only if you like recycled AA disguised as AAA just because it's Atlus behind it.

 

[Paasei]

And all this for free thanks to Ass of Can Whooping

 

[Punished Miku]

Insane drop. Really glad I didn't buy Metaphor now.

Crypt Custodian, and Symphonia have been on my wish list since launch. I'll try Zau as well. Monster Train 2 day 1 should be good. And to a T day 1.

Another blowout.

I hear Symphonia is short so that's my first one to play. Looks great.

[Magic Carpet]

Monster Train 2,
I need to play the first one first.

 

[analog_future]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 day one and now Metaphor: ReFantazio, two of the best JRPGs ever made, in the span of a month.


Crazy!

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Sales must have dried up for Metaphor to be on there so soon.

 

[Portugeezer]

Metaphor is huge...

We're waiting, Sony.

 

[GreenAlien]

That might mean the Metaphor Royal announcement is imminent.

 

[Punished Miku]

That might mean the Metaphor Royal announcement is imminent.

More likely some DLC.

 

[Draugoth]

Perosna 4 Remake confirmed for June

 

[Roberts]

Man, I know at some point this will end, but right now having a GP subscription is a no-brainer.

 

[Topher]

Only if you like recycled AA disguised as AAA just because it's Atlus behind it.

Eh....if it ain't your thing then that is fine, but this is still a great add for the service.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Avowed to Clair Obscure to Doom to Metaphor, in a few months. And I still just use microsoft points to pay for Game Pass. Havent spend a dime on it.

It almost feels wrong.

 

[adamsapple]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 day one and now Metaphor: ReFantazio, two of the best JRPGs ever made, in the span of a month.


Crazy!

GP's lineup in the past few months has been utterly insane. In the best ways.

 

[playbignbox]

GamePass is unstoppable

 

[Gaiff]

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 day one and now Metaphor: ReFantazio, two of the best JRPGs ever made, in the span of a month.


Crazy!

>Clair Obscur
>JRPG

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

And all this for free thanks to Ass of Can Whooping

 

[DenchDeckard]

Gamepass is insane.

 

[analog_future]

>Clair Obscur
>JRPG

Obviously the game isn't out of Japan but yes, the genre is JRPG.

 

[jshackles]

Monster Train 2, hell yeah

 

[Kurotri]

That's fucking crazy

 

[proandrad]

Hopefully this means Metaphor will be getting a big discount on steam. Been waiting for it to hit $20 to buy it.

 

[adamsapple]

And all this for free thanks to Ass of Can Whooping

 

[LordOcidax]

GP subscribers keeps winning

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Goddamn.

I need to get back to Metaphor. I bought it day 1 and was super excited as Persona is my favorite franchise of all time but I just fell off of it after like 5-10 hours. I remember playing it and thinking "what if I played Persona instead?".

 

[Baemono]

Hellblade 2 on Standard ? So they actually didn't put all MS 1st party games that were already on GP when they launched Standard last summer ?

 

[Boss Mog]

Wait, I'm confused .Didn't Metaphor launch on Gamepass?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

They really pimpin that Zau anywhere and everywhere for any money. SBI must have done wonders for them.

 

[PurePlatinum]

Wait, I'm confused .Didn't Metaphor launch on Gamepass?

No they just had marketing rights.

Atlus taking the gamepass bag on Metaphor makes sense. I'm sure it sold probably 5,000 copies on xbox.

 

[Punished Miku]

They really pimpin that Zau anywhere and everywhere for any money. SBI must have done wonders for them.

EA published it. It always gets added to EA Play standard a year later. Dragon Age will hit in October sometime.

 

[adamsapple]

Wait, I'm confused .Didn't Metaphor launch on Gamepass?

No, that was Persona 3: Reload.

 

[Mattyp]

Honestly too much content at this point from gamepass to start on anything else

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

EA published it. It always gets added to EA Play standard a year later. Dragon Age will hit in October sometime.

yea, it's been free or dirt cheap pretty much everywhere, was my point. But that explains this one.

 

[MMaRsu]

Thats pretty insane

 

[Hudo]

Metaphor is pretty good. I urge everyone who likes JRPGs to try it out. The rest is garbage.

 

[MMaRsu]

They really pimpin that Zau anywhere and everywhere for any money. SBI must have done wonders for them.

People who played it say its a great game.

Also why are you hating on a game that looks cool, is made for his father etc?

Fucking bullshit haters everywhere, just the mere mention of DEI and SBI gets your panties in a bunch and your salivating to let us know how much you hate it, without having played it at all.

Fucking pathetic really.

 

[Dynasty8]

Don't sleep on Monster Train 2. Very fun game.

 

[Punished Miku]

If you haven't played Slayers X it's hilarious. Leaving soon.

 

[Chukhopops]

Monster Train 2 is coming ? Was it announced before?

Looks like it's out today on Steam, might buy it for the Deck and later play on GP.

The first one was excellent.

 

[Little Chicken]

Xbox please there's only so much content we can take

 

[Kataploom]

What? Almost too good lol
