Seems MS are starting their own EA Access style subscription services which will give you access to over 100 games, a 20% discount on games and 10% off dlc for titles currently on the Game Pass. Seems interesting but the wording makes it look like games will be rotated instead of being on the Game Pass permanently.

Any recommendation for co-op games? Me and a buddy are playing Sea of Thieves, which is fun but we keep getting killed by other players so we need a break.

I'd recommend the Gears of War games, Streets of Rage 4 and Overcooked 2. Overcooked especially can very quickly devolve into bedlam.

I've had the yakuza games on my to do list for a long time but there's so many of them I keep putting them off. Are they all massive too?

Have to say since I got the razer kishi it's opened up gamepass for me in a big way, have been subscribed for ages but would only play the odd game usually on pc, I think I've tried ten or so different games in the past week alone!

I skipped straight to like a dragon. It works well on the phone+kishi.

Really enjoying the game. I'd like if there was more gameplay, sometimes feels more like watching an animated movie than playing a game.

Imagine a soap opera with occasional mad stuff and violence

Y:LaD has a new protagonist so it's a good place to jump in if you don't want to play the entire series. If you like it you could go back and play Y0 which is great.

Pretty much a brand new game with a new battle system, RPG style.

Had a hilarious mini-game in a cinema yesterday

Definitely worth it. I'm one of those who often wants to complete every side mission etc so I'm taking my time going through the series.

Currently on Yakuza 5 and I'm feeling the pain a bit now as they introduced yet another character that I have to level up and start from scratch.

Besides that, the series is a lot of fun. I love the storyline and the oddness of it all, even when it does verge on the absolute bizarre at times!

You can blaze through them by skipping the (many, many.....many) cutscenes and giving the side quests a miss. I love these games but they're all very, very similar tbh. I wouldn't personally recommend playing them all one affter the other as it feels you're playing one game for weeks and weeks on end.

Not tried Like A Dragon yet which is an RPG I believe but I've downloaded it and will try it soon.

But, if they can add a few PS folks who wold never buy an Xbox this early in the lifecycle to be Game Pass Ultimate (to play on PC / Mobile) then they might see it as win-win, eh?

This was me. Have never been interested in an Xbox console before, and given I've a decent PC I don't really need a Series X either, but the MS ecosystem is so good now I decided to get one anyway.

Buttros

Out of curiosity i took a look. More games than i would have expected have mouse and keyboard support.

Im not sure it works with the cloud service. If it doesn't wouldnt be surprised if its added at some point.

Xbox has had mouse and keyboard support for ages, only some games use it though.

Microsoft are selling a gaming ecosystem via a subscription model, and a component of that is the Series consoles. I'm not trying to downplay the fact that unit numbers matter - that they'd still like to sell as many Xbox consoles as possible - but honestly, everybody knows Sony is going to come out on top there. Xbox selling half the unit numbers is still Xbox doing monster business. This "There can only be one!" stuff is proper mid noughties, when people really did back one horse to try and take over gaming.

It seems from much of the online commentary that MS aren't too worried about console sales numbers (other than to say that Series S|X is doing well). But, if they can add a few PS folks who wold never buy an Xbox this early in the lifecycle to be Game Pass Ultimate (to play on PC / Mobile) then they might see it as win-win, eh?

Just all feels too good to be true but I'm sure MS know what they're doing. It is an incredible offering, must be the best value for money going for just about any entertainment service. I'm sure the price will go up eventually.

Well considering that the numbers are so dominant for the PS since the last gen, it's really going to take something drastic to swing it back the other way.

Looking at Boards, it often looks like it's around 10:1 so it will take more than a few exclusives to bring that number down and Gamepass looks to be it.

The series X/S version of fallen order is available now. I have it through gamepass/ea access and its updating now.

Having 1000/1000 it I have little want to download it again. I wish there was another achievement stack like what the PS5 get.

E3 though, wow. I used the deal in the sticky, my game pass expires december 2023. I don't have to worry about buying a game... ever it seems.

With Like a Dragon coming to gamepass, I think I will just hold off buying Lost Judgement, it's only a matter of time that comes too.

After the E3 presentation, I have no regrets for buying the pass
Have you guys seen it?
