Death's Door review embargo dropped... currently at 90% average.

I have Cris Tales on my steam wishlist. Was just keeping my eye on it for now to see how good it is. Good to know it's on GP.

Do they make Xbox controllers that mimic a PS Dual or even PS5? Im doubting they do, just wanted to ask. I wouldn't be surprised to see them add haptic feedback in the near future and I wouldn't be surprised to see PS add in quick resume.

Still looking for a Series X for myself.

No but Phil expressed interest in doing something similar so I could see it happening in the future.

So after 3 months of playing Series X now my console randomly shut off.
Well damn what this can be? Anyone else had this issue?

Already got both pre downloaded. I’ve only had my Series X for about 3 weeks, but damn I gotta say I love Gamepass.

Death's Door is excellent.. like a noir Zelda mixed with Studio Ghibli.

How so you have it? Is it standing, or lying down?

Had to make something for it because my lying it down in my entertainment center kept it way too hot. Thing runs hot, but read it’s normal. Still, 3 months? That’s bs

Slightly clunky at times.. but its supposedly been optimized well for console.

How were you able to preload Flight Simulator already? I tried to find it last night on my Series X with no luck. I couldn’t find it on Gamepass, and if I searched it in the regular store the only option given to me was to purchase one of its three bundles.

I know its had an engine rewrite ready for the console release aswell as an update for the PC version lessening the CPU usage and making more use of the GPU.

Officially on the hunt for a series X. Traded in my crappy launch Switch, a bunch of broke ass Joy Cons, and a handful of games my kids don't play into Gamestop and got $350 in credit I'm going to put towards the XSX. The lady told me to sign up on the app because you get advanced notice of stock so maybe ill get lucky.

It should appear within the gamepass app as "Microsoft Flight Simulator"..

Give a quick look in the gamepass section of "my games and apps" as well.

That's a nice giveaway to draw attention to the game sale. I didn't even realize it started three days ago because I never click on the "Store" tab in the app. It lasts until August 5th.

@Law Talkin’ Guy, this came up in another thread:

You were unaware there were sales like these including the full-DLC versions of games on Xbox. Not only do these sales exist on Xbox, but this "Ultimate Game Sale" has become a regular seasonal thing with them, and IMO, it has usurped the "Steam Sale" as the greatest sale tradition in all of videogaming. It's the closest thing to what those Steam sales once used to be. Notice in the link above you can organize by biggest percentage discount.

Below are some examples. I got tired because it just kept going and going. In essence, the 100% DLC edition (or some enhanced version) of practically every single game on Game Pass is on sale at or near the best sale price we've ever seen from a major service.

The best sales in gaming to buttress the best service in gaming.


XBOX ULTIMATE GAME SALE (until August 5th)
