I thought we already had wishlists?

Cheers. Went ahead and bought it. Hopefully won't get bored of the "base" game before starting on sub zero. Will leave it till it's nice and fleshed out though.

Subnautica I've only played an hour or two of but the sub-zero previews say it seems to just be more of the same with ice?

Yeah all DOTA talk gets skipped. Also any card game talk like Gwent too.

Orrrr it could be just this forum that doesn't gel with him.

What are the Giant bomb forums like in terms of comments about Ben?

"lets build a really shitty annoying game". Sounds like a great way to spend their free time. I don't mind the length. I listen to them on my commutes.

I've started enjoying Frametrap more nowadays.

Hmmm. I think that's giving them an easy cop out. They're aware of various subscription services and what they entail despite getting game codes. Anyway, I found it surprising.

Their "build the worst game we can" feature bit on the main podcast is so boring. I just skip though it nowadays. No real entertainment in talking about adding some really annoying mechanics in a game. Might have been worth it if it was ACTUAL annoying stuff games put in but a lot of the time now it's just absolutely absurd things you'd never see in any game. Neeeeext. Come on @Sarlaccfood. Rather than neg the post explain why you like it dude. What's the appeal for you?

I was floored by the fact that noone on the latest (Beastcast I think) knew that EA Access has been exclusive to the Xbox since it launched. So many times they don't seem to have a clue about anything Xbox since PS4 is their personal main console of choice for games. Fair enough if these were some guys doing it for a hobby but they're supposed to be journalists or at least seasoned pros that SHOULD be checking this stuff out. They've done it a few times now.

It's not the full game. I think Zombie mode is missing from it. I've paused my monthly humble bundle as I'm not fussed about Black Ops 4.

It's £20 a year and you get 10 hours freeplay on new releases. Lots of stuff in the Vault that works like GamePass (except I don't think they've ever removed anything). Before GamePass when my kids played FIFA every year it was an absolute bargain. I think it still is really good value but have let mine lapse as I get more than enough games to play with GamePass.

ain't that the fucking truth.

I really think that the reception to most will be fairly muted. We're going to see new IP mostly from these studios. Nothing to latch onto historically to give context around anticipating a great single player storyline. We'll see some nice graphics and that's about all we'll be able to go on. Prepare for anti-climax on that front I think until you get some people playing through them or actual reviews when they release. Hopefully MS has learned that sales numbers aren't important to continue a studio. Merely fun and interesting first party games. I'm sure a fair number of traditional Sony first party games series didn't set the world alight on first release. It's going to be fun being able to try them out on GamesPass.
