Might as well get it started. Who's looking forward to it? I personally think that it could beat PS5, that is if they don't screw up. They need a basic UI, more first party titles, and focus only on gaming. They own the license to Rare games, we need to see new Conkers, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, etc. They did alright with Killer Instinct, I'll give them that, but they're sitting on a lot of games that needs remade, remastered, and sequels.
As far as I know, it's slightly more powerful than the PS5, which isn't a big deal. But what is a big deal is that it will come with more storage. XBSX will have 1TB, which I admit, is not much by today's standards. The PS5 will have 825GB, which is ridiculous. I'm guessing that the next gen games will be around 100gb or more in size on average. If that is the case, I expect the discs will be on 4k UHD blu-rays.

The X/S Version of Werewolf: The Apocalypse is $10. I've been waiting for this game since 2009. It's the same indie level studio that did the fantastic stealth game Styx: Master of Shadows.
Ignore the reviews, it's a throwback to ridiculous, gory button mashers. It's a stealth game when you're a human or wolf and then if you if get caught or get angry during a conversation/interrogation, you turn into this ridiculous werewolf with a ton of powers. Graphics look fine for an indie game trying to make a AAA game, the animations on your character are great and the monsters look fantastic. The soundtrack is a well done thrash metal instrumental type.
It reminds me of Hulk Ultimate Destruction because LITERALLY everything is destructible in the game.
It's worth $10 bucks and i'm enjoying it more than most AAA games i've played recently.

I enjoyed it for a night but it gets old really fast. Then you notice how dull, repetitious, and actually broken it is. You can just ignore stealth altogether and just fight everybody and it makes no difference. So why have the stealth at all? And why make a werewolf game where you're inside buildings 90% of the time and all of them look identical?

How does Werewolf compare to the newest GunGrave title?
I rather enjoyed the 2x PS2 GunGrave games, but that was a long time ago and I traded them away. The newest one I was excited for but after 1 play session and just 1 boss I wasn't very good and didn't like it too much. I need to give it a 2nd chance...

The newest Gungrave is awful. Barely could get through it.
I'm still enjoying the hell out of werewolf. It's exactly what I wanted. Not every game has to be an epic piece of art. Werewolf is certainly the Michael Bay of games, fast, fun and rediculous. I don't even try to be stealthy anymore. I'm not trying to get the good ending.
Is the Doom 3 in Gamepass the updated one withe the flashlight mod?
Also, is Dishonored Death of an Outsider worth playing? I wanted to get another shooter or two in before Atomic Heart drops on Gamepass.

FYI Donut Country is set to leave GP at the end of the month, if you haven't played it yet it's likely worth your 2 hours. I found it enjoyable and it's not too hard to get all of the achievements if you care.
Worms WMD, Telling Lies and a Japanese titled Drum Master game is also leaving the service.

I second the recommendation of Donut County. You're basically a hole that goes around eating everything. It's mindless fun and a nice palette cleanser between bigger games.

Chained Echoes is a really good game for those who enjoy SNES-era RPGs!

I booted up my XsX and decided to give Moonscars a shot. The first boss killed me a lot, but then I explored and got some upgrades and got it second try after that.

I tried Moonscars a while back and it didn't suck me in, but I've been meaning to give it another chance. A site I follow has a review for it on the
that I want to read, the headline was something to the effect of it's worth it after going through the initial learning pains.

I don't know if it's the BFG edition on GP (which introduced using the flashlight with a gun) but yes, you can on the Xbox version.

How often have you used it? I’ve been using it exclusively for the past decade or so and it meets my search needs just fine.

Probably 20 times, each time giving me something that mostly had little to do with what I asked. I use brave pulling info from Google now.
Google might be evil and hell bent on intruding your privacy but they make a good search engine.
Bing just isn't very good.

Bing is adequate but really not great and doesn't feel much better than the early days of search. It can get you to close to what you're looking for but sometimes takes a few tries to get it right.

Rarely don't find what I'm looking for in Bing and they pay out instead of just cashing in on me with no reciprocity. Google also seems to promote scammy spammy results towards the top that look legit but arent. Bing wins for me
I don't see what makes Google so much better. It's not hard to keep scrolling and looking if you don't get it on the first result

Bing is complete crap IMO.I always find what I am looking for, Bing just gives me a damn headache, at least it's better than Yahoo... but that's not saying much.

Nice. I don’t think the Xbox GP version has MP tho. I think that’s a Switch exclusive.

For the life of me, no matter the way I try to play Gamepass or my Xbox through my Steam Deck remotely, it lags and makes it unplayable. It's either a half second to a second delay, massive frame dips or both. My Xbox just isn't in a spot I normally play in and remote play would be way better.
