Officially the best poker player on RAWK.
New Sea of Thieves content is out. I've briefly hopped on, but from my ten minutes they've added more stuff to the world. They keep layering things on and making the game more interesting.
I've heard great things, looking forward to getting the chance to try it. Also apparently it's mostly PvE which should help the whining Xbox crowd enjoy too! ;)

You're essentially getting 33+ games in one month. The times they're available are a bit weird though. Can't they just all be available the full month?
I've never understood why they split them half and half with the og/360 titles

This would be a coup for Xbox, if his last game wasn't a complete joke. They should be learning from Sony's mistake in Death Stranding.

In what sense? Death Stranding is a very good game. The only issue I see is most people didn't have the patience for it.
Pretty much, most of todays gamers have no patience, Death Stranding was brilliant.

He could be referring to the story, that was a nonsensical mess (sort of comes with the territory with Kojima). It did have a satisfying, zen-like gameplay loop at its heart though, I enjoyed that part.

Gamepass on PC alone has meant a lot more people have downloaded and played it than normal and I'm sure that'll be true on Xbox too. I can't imagine many actually sticking with it though and it'll remain niche in that sense.

A lot of people will download it just to check out the graphics. I don't care about the flying bit, but I do want to fly over some places I know and see what it's like on there. Then I'll probably never play it again.

Maybe if other boring people come over that I think will be impressed.

Think it'll be a keeper to have just to chill on every now and then. I'm really looking forward to it

Yeah but for it to be chill I think you basically need the game to do the flying for you, which I'm cool with

What’s the point of flight simulator? The long haul flight is the worst part of travelling.
