Xbox Game Pass

Put a lot more time than I'm proud of into Jurassic Park Evolution over the weekend.

My first time playing a building sim on Xbox having played loads on PC overs the years. It works very well but gets a little sluggish on my Xbox One X when the theme park grows beyond a certain point. Addictive little game. Found myself trying to complete one more contract before turning it off then one more...

Me too! I spent way too much time on it too. Kept saying I was going to stop & move to other games but found myself an hour later still going...

I was all ready to start Control after hearing it had got it's next gen update until I realised the nonsense they pulled with that Ultimate Edition. €30 extra for some ray tracing, no thanks. Turns out the ultimate edition is on PS Plus this month and has dualsense support too so just gonna pay €9 for one month there and play it on PS5.

FWIW I asked something similar a few days ago and ended up buying the ultimate version.

Forget Ray tracing - the 60 FPS mode is transformative. Day and night a different feeling game.

Yeah I've started it on PS5 now and going from 30 to 60fps makes a big difference, it appears to be the way to go. I didn't realise you had to choose between that and ray tracing, I thought you'd get both :-(

Finished yakuza 0, surprised how hooked In I was, probably 70+ hours and still wanted to 100% it, would take too long but I look forward to playing the rest of them, I'll play something else first before I jump onto the next one

Zero is a great starting point. Always impressed how the Yakuza games have such small maps but make them infinitely more interesting and organic than the huge maps in the like of Ubisoft games.

Hi

Was just about to post if I buy a 2 week gamespass does it enable the Xbox live convert to ultimate. I've read the sticky, just not sure if it needs to be one month you buy, can only see 2 week code on website for sale. Thanks

Wreckfest is fun, loving it

Madden 21 coming to EA Play soon, do we get all of their stuff on Gamepass at the same time? Madden is the perfect benefit for me of EA Play / GP, it's worse than Fifa for being a copy/paste, I only play single player on it so no benefit to me to get it at the start of the lifecycle and it's getting released just at the end of the season so I can get my NFL fix for a bit longer. Lovely.

Is that trick with the €1 offer for Ultimate still working? On one of my other accounts, the join for €1 offer for the ultimate is there. If i was to buy it, add gold membership and cancel the auto renewal, would this extend the ultimate up until gold runs out?

Maybe this is the reason why Gamepass Multiplayer was down last night...

Loving Dirt 5, good easy fun. And those HDR colours really pop.

I bought it during sale and then very shortly it was announced for game pass... was upset to say the least. Its okay game, if you like the whole community built tracks etc, but I found it a bit lacking if you want normal racing. Multiplayer was totally dead when I bought it, maybe with it on game pass, it got better.

I downloaded Wreckfest on my laptop last night and had a good crack with it, but playing on keyboard is a bit arse.
Downloaded it on Series X just now, and got a bit disappointed with 30fps lock... 4k apparently. Such a shame. I really can't do 30fps, a specially in racing games.

I wonder when/if Bethesda's back catalogue goes up? I know there's loads of subtle intricacies to an acquisition like this which might delay the process, but to be honest I'd be kind of expectant that the likes of Oblivion, Fallout 3, Wolfenstein, Doom 2016 etc find their way on to the service now that they're in bed with Microsoft.

Could do with a few more heavy hitters each month, especially with the lack of X/S exclusives. One or two sports and indie titles and 700 Yakuza games ain't gonna cut it!
