Nice month. I was expecting Madden 24. Had 23 all deleted. :messenger_beaming:

I've never heard of Plate Up, but if it's something like overcooked I'll give it a go.

2024 and no Activision/ Call of duty yet?
Yeah its an odd one, would have been good to get some of the back catalogue added to GP. Release a COD every month into GP would do great.

Did see a someone posting COD will not be coming to Call of Duty will not be coming to GP, guess we may need to wait a few months to find out.

Strange that the old CoD games wouldn't come to Game Pass. It just might be the latest release that doesn't get put on there for a year.

Two people in a row praising RE3 Remake when usually I see nothing but hate for it. Not played it myself so I have to steal other people's opinions.

The hate was dumb, imo. It feels like a lesser game than 2R, because it is shorter, kind of more linear, but there is nothing really wrong with it.

In terms of gameplay RE3R is probably the best one. It controls extremely well and the evade mechanic never gets old. The game is extremely replayable as well, the pacing is perfect. Try to put down the controller.

RE2 is longer due to backtracking, while RE3 is shorter and straight forward with more action. Other than that they're practically the same game, it's weird to love one but hate the other.

How have they not thrown a Spyro or Crash game on GamePass....

Fucking throw us bone.

Opus: Echo of Starsong was surprisingly solid, played it early last year.

Good month for those who haven't played Bloodstained, prob my favorite of the listing.

Yeah, this is probably my least favourite half-a-month they had in a long while. I have played and greatly enjoyed both RE3R and Bloodstained, you can't force me to play any train sims even at gunpoint, I'm a European so I don't give a shit about American Football so not much left for me. I'm kind of curious about Return to Grace which reminds me of Invincible and I liked that one.

They are still butthurt that some parts of the original were changed/removed.

Other than that it's a great game.

It's free* on Game Pass bro.

*included with the monthly subscription price
 
Here for bloodstained.

Got turned off to re2 remake with the addition of having to keep up boarding windows. Since i never played re3, i’ll have less expectations go in raw though

I dont touch ea games on gamepass due to it being an entirely second service to deal with.
