Every single new Ms IP will be on there. So if you buy three Ms games in a year your better of with it.

But I see your part of the PC master race and don't need it.

Nothing to do with being the master race, though kind of you to notice, just Microsoft's output in general. I also won't own the game, just rent it. I have no idea why I would want to do that for a tenner a month. 5 months in I would have covered the cost of the game but still wouldn't own it. Which is madness.

Got the Ea game pass thing(£20 for a year) and have started playing Mass effect as apparently it's one of the best game series of all-time?

It's a good series but the last 2 releases were hit by a fair bit of controversy.

On ME:3 people didn't like the ending. This was mainly due to that however you played through the game as a bad guy/good guy (paragon/renegage) it didn't have any bearing on the outcome.

On ME:Andromeda various people disliked/hated it for a number of reasons. It was felt the initial release was rushed out and had to be later 'fixed' with patches etc. Even then it was glitchy. Also the facial graphics in a lot of the dialogue scenes were generally absolute dogshit.
Then there were also loads of allegations that the game had been adapted/altered to pander to various social justice/ gender politics issues. For instance there's evidence that if you played the game as a female protagonist, the graphics had been changed to make her more 'plump' and her face more plain/ugly.

ME:1, 2 & 3 generally got critic scores in the high 80%'s to low 90%'s.
ME:Andromeda averaged around the mid 70%'s, and mainly due to a load of bad criticism/reviews & a bit of a consumer backlash the franchise was discontinued.

When you watch somert on Netflix do you own it and are you disappointed?
 
I’m currently playing South Park: The Fractured but Whole.

Whilst I am a huge fan of the TV series, the gameplay is extremely repetitive and every house seemingly has the same layout.

Same with any subscription based service. You watch sky movies but don't own the film, stream music but don't own the album etc etc

The point is for £10 per month all MS games will be released on there.
Gears of way, crackdown, sea of thieves, halo, ori, state of decay...plus non MS games which are on there.
All £40 each of £10 per month.
Something comes out, you pay a tenner, finish the game and then don't pay it the following month. How people can't see the value is mind bending.

Maybe we don't work for Microsoft?

I buy vinyl mate, and download the films I want. Therefore I have them. Same goes for games. Why would I pay a tenner a month to rent a game?

I quite liked the game, I thought it was just like an extended episode of it.
 
Anyone played Kingdom Come: Deliverance yet?

Seen it did 1 million sales in the first week, which is pretty amazing.
Don't know if this is some sort of streisand effect due to the mainstream games media generally dumping on it because of their dislike for Daniel Vavra, or it really is as good as it looked during development.

It's got mixed reviews on steam, with most negative reviews focusing on it being buggy, but there's already supposed patches on the way to sort these out.

So i don't know whether to give it a try now, or hang fire a bit till they sort out most of the teething problems.

I picked it up on launch day on the Xbox and I love it. There's a very steep learning curve but it's incredible IMO.
 
Recently purchased Civilization VI along with a couple expansion packs. I think I'm becoming addicted. It's not easy but great fun!

Strangely, Ghandi is a warmongering little shit. He is obviously threatened by my great Australian empire!
