Steam isn't the end all and be all of opinions, but it is worth noting that the game has a rating of mostly negative currently.
Well, some if is quite bad. Like everything related to the vase building mechanics. I refuse to believe that anyone finds fun in looting resources on empty planets.
Most quests are also kinda shit. A lot of running back and forth between loading screens. I didn't have to be this way, they knew that there would be loading when they planned these quests. Don't send me back and forth through 4 of them repeatedly.
Don't get me started on the temple quests. ...
I hoped it was something different. But game is mostly all the parts of Fallout 3 and Oblivion that I didn't care for mixed with some half baked new stuff put together in a messy way. I just think it's hard to find the fun in this game and it's too fragmented to live on exploration and atmosphere. Just a very disconnected game with a lot of parts where none of it is particularily interesting.

They are going all in on gamepass, obviously it will have consequences if they don't reach their targets. It's not like they weren't on the verge of exiting the gaming business before Spencer proposed Gamepass, so why wouldn't they consider it if gamepass failed to meet its goal?
We still need to see how gamepass fares in a scenario where MS releases those 4 big titles every year that they are gearing up to. And how it looks with cod. If these things don't give them a significant boost, they might throw in the towel.
But I do think they will get a boost when they eventually get the machine up and running.
Probably, but Phil Spencer mentioned that they need to make significant progress before 2027 if they were to continue as we know them.
It'll leave room for someone else to try.
They do this pretty often. I wish thet were better at getting games ported. It's a slow drip feed and the program will probably be over long before we get to the good stuff.
They are great and the inclusion of the collection is nice. But it allready existed, I think the most exciting part of Premium is that we sometime get new ports of classic that weren previously available, like Grandia. Prefer those additions over stuff that was allready available.
But if we just look at the games, then it's a pretty decent month.
It is confusing why they even included the spaceship. I didn't play for long before I started doing what I could to avoid spending time in space. It's surprisingly easy to skip the whole space part of the game, because the fast travel is so effective. It's also beneficial because you can avoid a lot of loading if you skip the ship as much as possible. Seems weird that a game about space would make me play it like this.
Classics are more previously available stuff, that's always slightly dissapointing. The road to Parasite Eve 2 and Shadow Tower is long. But good lineup regardless, I want to try salt and sacrifice.
I played for 25 hours. Was dissapointed 2 hours in, but decided I would give it a shot and see if the game could win me over. I allready paid the 10 bucks to play, so had to make the best of it. Enjoyed it somewhat for a while, but got fed up after around 20 hours and dropped it after 25 realizing it probably would only get worse from there.
I usually like Bethesda rpgs, but this one has none of the positives from earlier games and invents new negatives while the usual down...
Other ways to travel won't really fix it. Even if they removed the need for fasttravel, it would still be empty because it wasn't designed to be played without fasttravel. Game needs major redesign and rework to make it work in a satsifying way.
Because it's not just about flying from a to b, it's what happens in between a and b that is lacking.
Grandia, up and Jet moto are the only games on this list that are actually newly added games. The rest are only new for the service, but have been available for a long time.
Just thinking of the ps1 and psp additions. They have added some classics, but also a lot of weird picks, considering the amount of classic games exist on psx.
I'm very happy with Grandia (though switch version is superior, and they also got the sequel). It just takes forever and ...
This article is nonsense for those not in the know. What are they even talking about, who is Lucia and what does she have to do with ps5? And why do people think they are the same if they don't share any facial features?
Another essential psx classic to the collection. Good thing they don't just rerelease crappy licenced titles and barely anything else.

I do like the game, but it feels like it's too long. I'm twenty hours in, which seems to be less than halfway through and it's starting to get old. They have mechanics for 12 hours, never really add anything that mixes things up. Would be fine if it didn't go on for 50 hours.
Story seems promising enough.
Interesting, first game was quite fantastic. Not quite Obra Dinn, but still really good.
Also had to investigate this. Apparently Quake Champions is considered the fifth mainline game in the series.
