Just fired this up, and the opening felt very Kill Bill to me.

And Spaghetti westerns. It is not a game I can play for more than 20 minutes in one sitting, but in small doses it is fun, in a way games like Hotline Miami are fun.

Yeah it's a play a few levels and move on kind of game, or squeeze in a few quick rounds when you don't have time to play something else.

I don't know where to ask
I'm not Halo guy but i downloaded master chief collection to play the series before halo infinite
The question is which halo i play first and in what order ?

Looks like the 'play via xcloud whilst you download' should be announced this week. I also expect the xcloud app will drop this coming week or the 27th
I do wonder how this works for games not on xcloud but on gamepass. Assuming there is some contractual stuff there that might be a bit weird.

I think as they are listed they are in chronological order.
Skip ODST. Completely.
Halo CE got a touch-up so looks OK, halo 2 looks the most dated.

Go to cross game playlists, load the Master Chief Saga playlist and go. Do ODST and Reach after you complete that, Halo 5.
The Tourist is leaving at the end of the month for anyone interested. It’s relatively short and can be finished in 4-5 hours.

Reach is the prequel, but I don’t think you should play it first, because the end simply won’t have the same emotional impact without experiencing the following story. Think of it like Rogue One of Halo franchise.

yup, it is a neat little, relaxing game...until you get to the platform it bits that can be a bit frustrating, but the graphics are great, especially the tilt shift effect. Anyway, loaded it up after hearing the news - got two achievements left. Hopefully I will get those before it leaves GP, because I don’t think it is a game that I need to buy.

ehh, ODST is great as well.

I hope you have a cleared-out gaming schedule, as we’ve got many games to look forward to through the rest of July with Xbox Game Pass! On July 27, we’re taking to the skies with Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X|S, plus we’re continuing our 20 Years of Xbox celebration with some...

^ I'll have to revisit Crimson Skies. That's a classic.
While many talked about how does it affect the industry, people not buying games blah blah blah, in the end, it has no effect on the end user as it’s without a doubt one the best deals in gaming to the end-User.
except, what if One day, Microsoft decided to release an actual Gamepass exclusive, As an Non-Purchasable game whether on Xbox or Steam/PC where the Gamepass Subscription is Mandatory just to gain access to the game.
the worst part is, nobody can complain about it since it’s pretty much the standard in the streaming service, you Cannot buy some Netflix exclusive series on a DVD/BR or VOD simply to entice the customer to start subscribing to the service
worst yet, said GP exclusive could be an Xcloud timed-exclusive for several months to avoid Piracy (cloud streamed games are impossible to Pirate)
what do you think about it ? Do you believe Microsoft will open that can of worms ?

Xbox Game Pass General Discussion
EL Edit: Notable announcements can get their own threads. Monthly sets of regular releases can get their own threads. General ongoing talk can go here to cut down on the daily hype wars and bickering threads. Gamepass has definitely mixed up console gaming more than anything else in...

Of course they will, and so will everybody else. If you think that's bad, try not to think about what's going to happen once game streaming becomes the norm.

It also annoys me a bit that people fail to remember that Gamepass is also a store front for buying games, a store front with a permanant 20% off for every game too.

You are concerned that one day you won't be able to put down $60+ on a game that you can just play on a Game Pass sub?
Are you the one person who purchased the boxed set of Stranger Things from Amazon?

- You can buy most Netflix originals as standalone content, which makes sense because it’s extra revenue;
- MS has no reason to do that since they benefit from selling their games, many of which are top sellers on Steam;
- GP doesn’t really need that either to be successful since the value is just ridiculous by itself.
I wouldn’t worry about hypothetical scenarios.

“What if car makers start making cars that purposefully drive themselves off of cliffs?!”
”Your very premise is flawed and is antithetical to the very reason cars were created.”
”How dare you show concern about a shift in the industry that would….blah blah blahhhhhhhh!”

Literally this. I already have no time for all the games, despite Xbox not having any games according to some warriors. Imagine once Xbox actually has games...My true biggest concern about Xbox Game Pass
Is where do I find time for all this

What if Sony decides to crank prices up to $140 per game
What if Nintendo decides to kill online on all their platforms
What if MS decides to make Gampass $45/month
Nothing anywhere points to this but I'm very concerned! Help!
games get cheaper over time, especially on steam, and it’s more about not wanting to be tied to a subscription if im only interested in that single title that i could possibly play for years (example if TES6/7 becomes a Gamepass Exclusive)

Seeing some XGS games topping steam charts gives me hope that Microsoft won’t open that can of worms, as there’s demand for them on steam

What if Sony sells a digital only console?!
What if then Sony raises the price of digital games?
What if then Sony stops allowing major retailers to discount PSN gift cards?
What if then Sony stops allowing their first party games to be included in major retailers promotions ?
Oops, my bad, I actually described a scenario that’s happening.
And yes, I bought a digital PS5, which is why I come off as bitter about it.

Well, remember they bought Bethesda to stop PlayStation owners from getting to play Starfield, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout ...

If they hadn't bought bethesda, somebody else would, im sure it was better for them to secure these big titles and expand their studios.

Since i have no Xbox, I definitely wouldn't buy an MS game thats only available on the MS Store, imagine day one it has some issue that requires file editing, you just can't do that so you'd be fucked. The amount of games that are frametime-fucked out of the box is staggering so I just wouldn't buy the game in that case, unless I can guarantee it has no issues that I'd need to fix myself.
For instance Deaths Door on Steam had more than a few people complaining of heavy stuttering since launch and its almost certainly down to Windows DWM pish taking control of the window combined with Unity Engines awful forced borderless fullscreen. If I couldn't have fixed that I wouldn't be playing it right now, you can have stuttering in a game like that, or most any genre for that matter.
Like if Forza Horizon 5 launches with that sort of problem (I've not seen anyone mention that about FH4 so not worried about it just as an example) that renders it unplayable for me, a racing game needs smooth motion not just to be fun to play but to not cause motion sickness if its really bad.
Come on MS, just put GP on Steam ffs.

If console exclusives directly influence console sales, why wouldn't exclusives on GP influence GP subs? There's MS's reason right there.
GP needs subscriptions to not only be successful, but to maintain itself, and exclusives for Game Pass would create more incentive to subscribe.
I don't see this happening any time soon, and it would kinda go against MS's core beliefs lately; however, this is something that makes perfect business sense.
