~The Game Pass Thread~

[Rock8man]

So far it’s been permanent. I don’t know of any games that have been removed from the “The Vault”.

[Ginger_Yellow]

Thought they might be doing that. If they hadn’t I’d worry it was never going on the service at all.

Eastshade is on Game Pass now. It’s maybe not for everyone, but I ranked it as my 4th favorite game of the year so… yeah, I’d recommend it if you’re me or someone like me.

What were #1-3?

DRG is showing up on gamepass also!

It’s a trap!

OK, I have installed Eastshade on the strength of the recommendation, even though I still don’t really have a good handle on what it actually is. Speaking of which, what is DRG?

It is time for the 2019 Quarterlies! Vote for Quarter to Three's Best Game of 2019

Outer Wilds It feels like nearly every game has an element of exploration, but there are still painfully few games that really capture the feeling of true exploration, not just wandering through a space created for you to play a video game in. Minecraft manages it with its procedural generation, but Outer Wilds is different. It’s a carefully designed world–carefully designed not just in space, but across 22 minutes of time! What Outer Wilds does is makes all that space (and time) meaningful. …

The best description of it is Skyrim without any combat. And a painting system that gets you to look at the pretty pretty environment.

I have performed the Google and found it’s deep rock galactic.

Either that or Darth Rebel Ginsberg, RBG‘s nephew.

Dude, you’re playing my song. That’s up right after I finish Carto.

Eastshade was tough for me, because furries. I never saw the furries coming, and it’s all furries.

I thought some older releases of their sports titles had been removed but maybe mistaken.

[mrcjhicks]

Knights and Bikes today, too!

Fair. I have a feeling the characters have animal heads because they would crash into the uncanny valley if they tried to build and animate human heads on their budget.

Edit: Oops, don’t need achievements this week. And next week will be launch for new consoles. Belay that request!

Game pass has been the best thing ever for me, especially this year. Deep Rock Galactic, Forza, Drakes Hollow, and a bunch of other misc games are things either I wouldn’t have paid for out of the blue, or friends wouldn’t have paid for probably. However, since we all got them included as part of Game Pass we’ve had a good few months of co-op nights and weekends.

[Bruce_Barnett]

EA Play starts tomorrow, right? Is there any information on how that will work (will the games be accessible through Gamepass directly or will I need to download EA Play)?

Thanks

[Rock8man]

On the Xbox, if you go to your game library, the EA Play games are already there.

[KallDrexx]

I think EA play only starts for console game pass tomorrow, with it coming to PC game pass sometime in December.

[Rock8man]

By the way, I was curious, here’s the list of games in the Vault:

EA Play

For some reason they don’t have a column for the games available in the Vault on Origin.
