That's cool. I've long preferred Xbox but always end up on the Playstation due to exclusives. I used to like the Xbox exclusives but they sort of wore out on the 360.

Alright, question for the Game Pass fans. I have a trial that's ending soon but haven't gotten around to Tell Me Why yet. So I decided to check the cost to see if there was a GP discount. Lo and behold, there was a Buy it Now button like every game, except instead of showing a discounted price to purchase it simply said "Free." I looked at a few other games and they all simply showed discounts to own. So does this mean Tell Me Why is indeed free and clear from a Game Pass subscription?

Chapter 1 of Tell Me Why is entirely free, GP or not.
You can buy a pack containing 1-3 for 9.99 currently on sale. Looks like the regular spring sale price might override the GP discount.
If it weren't in the spring sale, I would expect a few bucks off for being GP.

1-3 for ten bucks:

1 for free:

Tell Me Why has a free trial/hub and is a "pay per chapter" type game like the Telltale games and Live is Strange.
You can buy Chapters 1-3 for $9.99 on sale now.

Which game? I’ve had EA Access for like 3 years and don’t recall anything leaving it.

Enjoying Octopath on PC. Really brings back memories of SNES RPGs for me.

oh interesting, could be NFL licensing and the ability to use player likenesses.

Re: Xbox Game Pass/Game Pass Ultimate
 
So I've been playing Octopath (quite good so far, and I love the generous save points). About 12 hours in.
I've done 6 of the 8 Chapter 1s.

Any high level, non spoiler tips? I've only had one game over, though I've had some tough battles.

I have a set of characters that I prefer, but my party is currently Main character, Character whose chapter I'm doing, and 2 Lowest level characters, to help level them up.

Should I try to keep the characters balanced level-wise, or just play with who I like?
Once I get them all, should I follow one char's whole storyline, or do all Ch 1, then all Ch 2, etc, and keep changing my party?
Spoiler:
Provoke

seems kinda mean, and I've
Spoiler:
Stolen from a whole bunch of total innocents....


I've heard something about
Spoiler:
using the OCTO characters as a party, then using the PATH characters.

The ones I prefer, so far, are
Spoiler:
Thief, Beastmaster, Apothecary, Scholar.

You all need to give Rain on your Parade a shot. Delightful and silly game. Seems a little one-note at first, but there's some really cute scenarios that'll look familiar to basically anyone in this subforum. Just play it.

When I saw that pop up, it reminded me of Donut County, so I'll probably give it a shot.

Played through Rain on Your Parade last night and it’s an amusing enough hour or two for ‘free’, but I’d wager most people who drop $15 on it will be pretty disappointed by the length and simplicity. Just a warning for any non-Game Pass players who see it mentioned and think they might want to pay for it.

It was amusing for 5 mins. I mean it made my daughter laugh.

Dan 04-24-21 07:06 PM

Re: Xbox Game Pass/Game Pass Ultimate
 
I'll reiterate that the game has some nice surprises along the way, including a level that ends up being way longer than the others, but fantastic. If you give up after 5 min, you're doing it wrong. ;)

I played through all of it over the last couple days and I was pretty unimpressed. Poor impersonation of better games Katamari Damacy & Donut County.

Psychonauts and FF X/X-2 makes me happy.

I hope Psychonauts being released for Game Pass means that Psychonauts 2 will follow soon.

Weird that Alan Wake is leaving considering Microsoft published it.
