So, is anyone into Hi-Fi Rush? It was dropped last week and I've been enjoying it. Downloading it now, actually. I'll play it tonight after work. it's a really fun way to waste some time. Old school platformer that looks amazing. It also has some licensed music too.

What's getting me is timing jumps on moving platforms to get from one place to another.

Games With Gold next month are For the King and Guts N Goals. ... I have no idea what they are either. At this point I've accepted that Games with Gold is essentially a dead service. Looking at the list of releases, Gears 5 and Resident Evil Remake HD in February 2021 was the last time there was a top tier release.

Good news for anybody (like me) who has to bust their 360 out of storage to play certain games from that generation.

I'm conflicted, I want to play Atomic Heart, it looks great and unique, but I'm not sure in all honesty that I should. Obviously the reasons can't be mentioned. It's not like Hogwarts where it's an IP with very little to do with the problematic person any more, but rather the studio that made it.
As for Games with Gold, I do wonder what the plan is, it doesn't have the 360 ports any more, only 2 games of varying quality. I can only think it's days are numbered.
For the King is pretty good, though.

Needing to vent about this somewhere and most appropriate place I can think of, been doing the Microsoft Rewards thing for a long while and it's a very good source of free shit on the Xbox but I do have bouts of feeling very burnt out on all of the daily hoops you have to jump through for it. Dared to voice this on the subreddit for the program, which is basically a cesspool of people throwing screaming tantrums if you dare talk about anything but Roblox points so I should have known better, and naturally got a lot of immediate, "Oh, what a whiny baby, suck it up!" for basically just saying, "Hey, I'm kind of burnt out on this, anyone else ever feel the same?" because you're not allowed to possess emotions on the Internet unless it's complaining about minorities apparently.
Basically just took something I was just kind of drained over and turned it into me being actively pissed off so just needed to get it out of my system.

I just use it very casually, usually enough for a couple of games a year.

I also tend to forget to collect points on given days. (Or weeks. )

People are awful, hence why I tend to keep a lot of things to myself and mind my own business. You talk about something and people make a mountain out of a molehill.

So I've quit my job of 12 years to move on to a bigger opportunity, but before I start the new job I'm going to take a week off to get my mental health in order. I decided to upgrade to a Series S as something of a going away present and timed things out to have it arrive on my first day of freedom.
What's some good stuff to either buy or check out on game pass? Is Gotham Knights as "meh" as I've heard cause I was hyped for that. I've got a week to kill what's something to play?

It depends what you like really. Hi-Fi Rush is worth a look, some of the Persona games are on there, Skyrim, Fallout, ect. I'm going to give Soulhackers 2 a go myself. Good selection of strategy games as well.

And in, "The rewards program is an utter grind," news, they've badly nerfed the monthly Top 10 thing (which is really a top eight because two of the ten don't have achievements) to make you get three achievements instead of just one. Combine with raising the monthly to five and how much more tedious the weekly shit's gotten the past couple of months it's like they're trying to run people out of bothering.

In the continuing adventures of, "The Microsoft Rewards subreddit is the worst," decided to be nice and give people a heads-up on the weekly treasure being up and response I got was like 800 goddamn people whining about the picture I took being blurry.

I find it utterly baffling the shitstorm Microsoft's embroiled in right now with everyone being pissed that Redfall is terrible because it always looked completely terrible.

It's making me worried about Starfield's quality, now. To be fair, we're talking about different teams. Starfield is handled by Bethesda's main team (so, yes, it will have A LOT of bugs and glitches at launch, but the gameplay most likely will be fun and there's quite some novelty in the game), while Redfall is being handled by Arkane Austin (the guys who made the Prey reboot and quite frankly not a studio that should be handling co-op shooters. Leave that to Machine Games or something, and are the secondary Arkane studio, with Lyon being the main one doing Dishonored and Deathloop).

The reaction to Redfall is reminding me of how everyone was excited when Microsoft started buying studios known for promising but buggy games because they thought it meant they would now have better QA testing.

I think Microsoft's 'Hands off' policy may have changed recently, can't imagine why.
In other news Everspace 2...wow this takes me back to having a blast playing Freelancer, Tachyon and games like that.
