Yeah, WTF was up with those loading times after dying in Jedi FO? Those are Bethesda quality times. When QR wasn't working at first loading the game every time took forever too.

Game Pass is killing it lately, but just think about when content starts dropping from the Xbox first party studios, day in date, that's the real crux of the current strategy...

Speaking of InXile, this rumor has been kicking around for a while, would make a cool idea either way

It's going to be insane. I've never had a backlog before GP, I was really particular about what games I'd buy and never even really looked at smaller/Indie games, hell I never even heard of most of them.
Game Pass has really broadened my gaming experience and introduced me to games I never would have enjoyed otherwise. Now they keep adding top tier games I'm already interested in, added even more now that they have included EA Play and continue adding quality Indies that really appeal to me, I feel like, damn GP, slowdown I've already got way too many games in my "Play Later" list let me catch up a little bit.
When their 1st party start cranking about bangers it's going to be way TOO MUCH. It's a great problem to have though for only $15 (or less) a month.

So, is EA Play there to stay, because it's another big backlog but curious if i should rush in and make sure to play some games before paying an extra fee is obligatory.
Also, EA is trying to buy Codemasters, if that happens there goes more titles for EA Play.

Does CP2077 look noticeably sharper on Series X after the hotfix or am I just imagining things?

I'd imagine it's there for a long time, at least a year if not for longer.

wow, I was just looking at Arcanum in GOG last night, only 6 bucks! I hope this is true because I loved that game and playing an extremely stupid half-ogre that could barely speak - every NPC in the game got frustrated trying to talk with me. I was blown away at how much the dialogue changed based on character choices.... but I digress.
I would love to spend time in another steampunk RPG (and the director having roots in Arcanum is a great start). Bring it on!

Whoa, Halo 5 is much better than people would have you believe
Scrolling through gamepass and EA Play now like
Shame I didn't know I was getting it. Would deffo have got CP2077 and some others on there.
Halo 5 was mechanically and systematically brilliant. Where it failed for me was story, and this is because of the arc they started with Halo 4. Potential spoilers ahead re. Cortana:
Halo was always about more than Master Chief. Cortana was just as important as him in her co-star protagonist role. An incredibly important dynamic. Taking her away from Chief’s side was a big mistake, and the way they evolved her character was a shambles. I get that AIs go rampant, but it was executed poorly. Add this to the second worse thing about the game - the bad guys, and it kinda fell flat (and repeated boring boss fights didn’t help).
Multiplayer was executed brilliantly and kept me playing for a long time. Warzone mode was superb.
TLDR: Mechanically, a superb Halo game.
Story and antagonists - well below the bar.

Alot of people like to Shit on H5 but the multiplayer is excellent and the amount of modes and content was great, got hooked on Warzone for ages

So after the update this week, Quick Resume is working like a dream. Haven't seen anything fail to open, which is all I expected. Great stuff!
But is anybody else noticing how quick it is all of a sudden? I haven't done any particularly scientific tests, but Jedi and Tetris open in not much more than a second or two now.
It might be specific use cases. Has anybody else noticed the improvement? Am I imagining this?

I think it depends on what games you have running when I have a Next generation game Like watch Dogs Legion running it can take between 8 to 12 seconds when its a last generation game it can take about 4 seconds.
Its only going to get better.
Ps watch dogs legion is still not in quick resume

Almost half a million became Pirate Legends? Wow, that's super impressive considering it takes a long time to achieve that.

Travis Bradshaw becomes Chief Technology Officer of Cloud Gaming (xCloud) after 11 years as a dev with id Software.
The acquisition may not be finalized, but it's already benefiting MS as a whole.

Mod support coming to Master Chief Collection? Supposed source is a 343i employee on Discord
Source has been verified by mods at Reee, which may or may not add veracity to them

Go Go Neo Rangers!
I find that super hard to believe considering what it took to get these games running correctly in general. Granted, now that they have gone back in and properly ported the games, for the most part, perhaps they found a way.Mod support coming to Master Chief Collection?

Not scientific, but I find the more games you have in a quick resume state the slower they are to load in general regardless of generation, Valhalla was taking less than 4 seconds I would estimate when it was re enabled, I now have Valhalla, Planet Coaster, CyberPunk and FH4 in quick resume and Valhalla takes a good 10-12 seconds.

Ok I am really liking Halo 5 (lol). I dont really care for the stories beyond get to this checkpoint and shoot more grunts. I cant believe I get to play the falconeer as well as other great games and they are just there to download.
I really like the xboxdvr and screenshot stuff and the looking for group things are solid as well.
Definitely think MS will get stronger as the gen goes on as well. At least I know J get to play starfield this way.

I keep meaning to give this (Sea of Thieves) a try. I’ve got a few friends I’ve convinced to pick up Series X’s when they become more available so I think I have the means to form a ship crew.
Honestly....I‘m drowning in games I need/want to play it’s ridiculous. And I’m still waiting for Valhalla and Cyberpunk to get patched to my satisfaction. Once Flight Sim drops that’s going to be a massive time suck for me. I’m actually praying that Starfield DOESN’T drop in 2021. Forza Horizon 5 I’ll take...because I can play that one in short, satisfying little snippets.

The Ascent and... Halo! I can see a steady drip of BC boosted games over next year (like how they showed Fallout4 at 60fps).

They just keep coming don't they? I still need to finish FO 3 and Gears Tactics. I took a break from Fallout to play Call of he Sea (loved it). Now I'm back to Gears Tactics, really liking that game now that I finally understand how to play it it was confusing at first.
There are a bunch of other games I want to play too - there is just too much to play right now.

2021? Check the first reply to this thread. Scorn, Shredders, Flight Simulator and Exo One are 2021. Phil said there are more surprises for 2021 so I guess he meant Starfield.
