Said to see Machinarium go, if anyone has not played it - it's a lot of fun with a really beautiful soundtrack and visuals.
I see it as one of those "Everyone who wanted it played it" kind of games - it's pretty much everywhere, constantly on sale and available through multiple subscriptions, so seeing it leave GamePass is not too much of a loss. Still, one less option still sucks, and game is great :0

This is the first time in a very long time there has been anything xbox related on this site. It's always PS Plus or Nintendo shit.
Games with Gold never got covered due to the threads never getting even a small fraction of the views...but since Game Pass came out, a lot of the time we've been covering the new additions or news related to Xbox and its gone over well. In fact, there's been at least four other Xbox related stories this week :P

When I hear the term "RPG", I tend to think of turn-based, or pseudo-turn-based-action - Bravely Default, Pokémon, Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Age (PC), Xenoblade Chronicles, Persona, etc.
The only game listed that I've actually played (and finished, a few times, though never Genocide) is Undertale. The rest...meh, not interested.

My only problem with game pass is that they delist games I prefer Xbox gold or PS plus since I keep the games as long as I have a subscription
Exactly; why bother removing games? Why not just make it one big smorgasbord of potentially-interesting titles?
Delisting games just seems antithetical to the premise, to me.

    Only thing a nice car will get you is a gold digger. What happened to falling in love, no matter if I'm on a bus, or driving a nice car. No offense tho, I do like nice cars.

    It would be funny to pick up a girl in a real expensive car, then next date show up in a piece o shit car just to see her reaction. If she was real, it wouldn't matter.

    Everyone is disposable and replaceable, lies and deception are the coin of the realm. I have never felt so alone and so at odds with the world.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't think we should see others as disposable just if they can show any glimps of care about humanity should be forgiven
