What's xcloud's pricing model?

From what I understand it's included with Game Pass Ultimate or you can buy an Xbox game digitally.

I bought a month of Origin Access Premiere last month and turned on 2FA for an extra bonus month. I just beat A Plague Tale and now have 6 weeks to beat Fallen Order.

A Plague Tale has already made that price worth it so Fallen Order is just a bonus. It's pretty easy to play EA Games for dirt cheap lol

EA just made a big deal today they're supporting xCloud.

The timing can't be a coincidence.

Game Pass= "Hey we don't get these games when they were new years ago and on Playstation"

Game Pass is probably why those games are being ported at all.

But there's a lot more on Game Pass. Streets of Rage 4 on it day one is great. I was gonna buy that game and now I don't need to until it's on sale way later.

Outer Worlds came out like a month ago.

I'm going to assume the people whining bought Tyranny and Pillars of Eternity 2? Because not many did.

Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are all day one for Game Pass too.

They're being super aggressive with this service.

I thought it was weird that they made a deal about EA supporting xCloud. Then I realized that it's not so much about them supporting xCloud as much as it was about who they aren't supporting. Stadia.

If you didn't own a 3DS you'd probably enjoy the game well enough. Just as long as you're expecting a standard Pokmon game.

Pokmon is one of those franchises where I need to take a break so I only play it every 3rd game or so.

In the Super Mario Bros. Super Show, one episode had Mario turn giant to battle Koopazilla. Nothing came of it.

In the Sonic the Hedgehog comic, one issue had Tails turn giant to battle an elephant. There's a 90% chance somebody has cranked it to this page.

It's the muscles that freak me out.

I think Sonic first started to get weird around Sonic Adventure 2. That was when the franchise started to have weird implications like having an American President. Who keeps a photo of Sonic on his desk.

Ruby/Sapphire got a 9.5, but literal upgrades got 7.8 and 8

A website is not a hivemind; each reviewer has their own opinions. Also, the games were released, what, 15 years apart?

It's literally the same game but upgraded. There is no logical reason for the score to be lower.

So should PS4 MediEvil be scored higher than how it scored on PS1?

Look at it this way.

WWE 2K20 isn't just mediocre or a step down. It's an outright broken game. It barely functions. It sold more than Outer Worlds in its first week in the UK. Which was a game that sold pretty well. When the US results come out in the next week or so it's probably gonna show it sold pretty well.

WWE is an IP that is way past its prime and gets dwarfed by Pokmon.

The casual audience (of which is massive for Pokmon) is probably gonna be happy enough with Sword/Shield.

Turns out reviewers can be biased and dead wrong about a game.

Go figure the most popular video game franchise has enough loyalty that odds are most reviewers will completely look the other way despite the fact a game has a laundry list of glaring flaws.

Most reviewers blitz through a game, see the credits and move on. The game is probably fine enough for that audience.

Considering IGN is claiming their people spent 40 hours on a game that is averaging people under 20 hours, I don't think they really blitz through the game.

I think the average for a reviewer is around 25-30 for the main path and taking on all of the trainers. 40 hours still isn't super long for a hardcore Pokmon person. Pretty sure I played Let's Go Pikachu for longer than that.

After she published her review she probably did move on.

I mean, Mario is a series where he regularly dresses in fursuits as a gameplay mechanic, so weirdness isn't exclusive to Sonic.

I think it's them pandering to their weird fanbase

But yet as soon as Hollywood got their hands on it we still saw weird shit!

Like if it was a normal franchise that has a weird fanbase or comics that's one thing.

But I think every medium Sonic is in has weird, baffling shit.

Titan Tails is a transformation of Tails. This form is a super-powered entity that Tails achieved by fusing together with numerous parallel versions of himself, and is a result of a portion of the "Chosen One" prophecy.

Meh. Gave him 4/10.

His best scene was his fight scene and I don't even know if it was him in the suit.

Outside of that we had charmless, depressed Batman in Batman vs Superman and butt of the joke Batman in Justice League. There was nothing else to latch onto out of his look. He was in two movies and I barely know him. It felt like Affleck was totally deflated about the role in the Justice League as well.

Obi-Won made no effort to even hide Luke's identity in giving him the same last name as his father and raising him on his father's home planet.

Not to mention Luke was living with Anakin's relatives.

I'm starting to think that maybe George Lucas was making it up as he went along.

The whole A Team/B Team thing is totally some a comment lost in translation. It's pretty undeniable that the games 'Team A' make have even less of a budget than Pokemon games. People haven't even heard of Giga Wrecker.

This game went from "can't wait" to "may not buy" to "might pick up used" and finally "might play it if a friend loans it to me" quick as fuck

Like damn, how could they fuck up Pokemon so badly

Wouldn't surprise me if they put most of their resources on that other game they were working on that no one ended up caring about.

Nah that was a low budget game like Tembo. Game Freak has two development teams. One for Pokemon and one for digital only budget games. The second team has released a few games now.

It's probably more likely they had development issues combined with a strict deadline.

For me;
1. Resident Evil 2 Remake
2. Outer Wilds
3. A Plague Tale: Innocence
4. Astral Chain
5. Control

It's funny there's a lot of great games I've played this year not I wouldn't say one really stands head and shoulders above the others. Even Gears 5 and DMCV would sit around the same level as those games to me. Outer Wilds and A Plague Tale came out of nowhere so those are highlights. Disco Elysium sounds like it would be another.
