Another month of stuff I don’t care about leaving. I know at some point I’m going to be bummed when something is going, but so far so good. I do wish they gave us like 30 days notice before games left.

3568

Yeah, the reason Forza 7 is being pulled from gamepass is due to the licensing used for cars and real world tracks. You actually won’t be able to purchase the game anywhere after that point.

The next Forza Horizon is coming out next month though, and it’s free on gamepass for anyone who wants some Forza.

3569

Noting that Horizon isn’t really a replacement for Forza 7 if you prefer track racing. If the new Forza Motorsport game could model itself heavily on GT Sport and also hurry up and release, that’d be great thanks.

3570

More advanced notice would definitely be better.

3571

Incoming - woohoo, I’ve been wanting to try out Crown Trick! For some reason I thought Breathedge was already on GamePass:

Craftopia - September 2
Final Fantasy XIII - September 2
Signs of the Sojourner - September 2
Surgeon Simulator 2 - September 2
Crown Trick - September 7
Breathedge - September 9
Nuclear Throne - September 9
The Artful Escape - September 9

3572

Lots of great stuff there. Too much to play!

Really looking forward to trying The Artful Escape. That one looks crazy bonkers gorgeous.

I just bought Final Fantasy XIII a few months ago, so no hurry to get to that one (wait a minute, so buying games now means I don’t need to get to them, so they’ll never get played? Nooooooo!)

3573

You’re buying the experience of imagining someday playing it.

3574

It was available through EA Play, might be available now directly through the XBox app.

3575

This seems to be the case of everything I buy as of late.

3576

I usually buy the experience of playing the first couple hours of it and imagining I’ll get to the rest.

3577

I need to stop buying games. I own 3 of these! I think I can survive on Gamepass alone from now on.

FYI Craftopia is pretty good, but still in EA.

3578

I’ve almost bought Breathedge several times, that’s a good add for me.

3579

From that link, leaving in two weeks:

  • Company of Heroes 2 (PC)
  • Disgaea 4 (PC)
  • Forza Motorsport 7 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Hotshot Racing (Cloud and Console)
  • Red Dead Online (Cloud and Console)
  • The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales (Cloud and Console)

Thronebreaker & Dark Crystal worth playing?

See my earlier post for more games going bye-bye soon.

3580

Thronebreaker is pretty decent.

3581

Concur. Thronebreaker is exactly my kind of Gwent game. Deckbuilding with a purpose and a narrative.

3582

Wait, Thronebreaker is a deck builder? I guess I assumed it was some sort of RPG, I will have to give that a try before it goes I guess.

3583

Yeah, it’s an adventure game based around Gwent. It has some deckbuilding, where you find cards scattered around and build up your encampment to give you more cards and abilities. Some of the battles are cool puzzle battles where you get a specific loadout and have to figure out how to make it work. The whole thing is highly polished, really nice looking with good voice acting.

3584

I just got home and saw that Final Fantasy 13 is on the Game Pass for PC list as a recent release! I don’t own the Windows 10 version! Very cool. I wonder if it will look better than the 360 upscaled version on XSX.

3585

I’ve never heard of Signs of the Sojourner before, is it any good?

3586

If you got the $5 itch bundle last summer you have it there. I like it a lot.
