Doesn't work with the app. Hopefully I can redeem this straight from the console when I get home from work. 

 

I redeemed via the normal xbox site. 

 

Played the game to death when I had it on disk. Might as well sink another 100 hours with a new character.

Nope  Might be a UK only deal then.

And that's a little strange because Dishonored, by the same people, loads incredibly quickly.

If you're talking about the original, not that odd, that's just a 360 game running at a slightly higher resolution

Diablo 3 Eternal Collection is free right now for Gold or game Pass Ultimate Subs (although not on actual gamepass) get it quick as it might be an error.

Apparently its just a free to play period

I was not able to get it from either the app or the website. 

It is available from the store, exactly as shown in the hotdeals link. 

I didn't however "redeem" it and add it to my library, it's just available to download which is odd. 

[Wiper]

Yeah, the general consensus I've seen is that it's a free to play promotional period, which is certainly one way to try and replace all the negative publicity around ActiBlizzard's wonderful working environment/treatment of women/executive team.

[Ry]

Edit - *never mind. 

 

Thought the thing was free to keep.

Likely down to the different engines used - Dishonored was Unreal 3 (first game) and a customised id Tech 6 (second game), while Prey uses CryEngine.

 

That makes sense, although there are plenty of Unreal 3 engine games that are still dogshit on Xbox One for loading.

If it's a good game people will forget about that aspect of a games company. You know how it works on rllmuk.

Finished the Last Stop last night.  Its a class story I really enjoyed it.  Great script and voice acting. There's not much of a 'game' in it, its pretty rudimentary.  I played the last hour in bed console streaming to the ipad. So in that way if you don't like walking sims you'd be best to avoid this.  Its like a sci fi domestic dr who vibe.

(my turn) - You can all thank me for buying Katamari a couple of weeks ago when it was on sale for the first time ever. Expect to see Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory on Game Pass next month too.

[Gotters]

looks nice

 

 

[multi]

Looks lovely!

 

But also looks like the controls could be a bit 'odd', trying to negotiate turns from a not driving game standard viewpoint.

 

Anyone played it?

[Mr Majestyk]

Yup, got it on PC, and it's a tough game! 

[Stanley]

Lumines is a good shout, and of course the mighty Hades, that game is immense. 

[Ry]

Art of Rally is supposed to be brilliant. 

 

Hades, Art of Rally and Katamari alone make it a great month alone. And more will come! 

[the_debaser]

Wonder if solitaire has a frame rate boost? 

[Mr Do 71]

Don’t forget Twelve Minutes on August 19th.

 

 

[Ry]

Oh and don't forget Dirt 4, Grid, F1 2020, Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0 are coming to EA Play/Game Pass Ultimate from August 10th.

 

What a month overall. 

[Isaac]

I have skate 3 but I'm going to download the original again the moment it's up.

 

Nothing has come close to the original in terms of pure flow.

 F1 2000 seems a little late to the party. Good of them to keep supporting the PS2 this late in its life cycle.

Ha, noticed that as soon as I posted.

What did they add between entries that took away from it?

Says it better than I can. 

 

For me, Skate 1 felt the most realistic (and had the best overall artistic approach). The games do look quite different from each other, weirdly.

[cassidy]

Nearly bought Curse of the dead god's yesterday. Nice one Gamepass.

Ugh, can't believe they'd pick that trash over the infinitely superior PS1 version

Yeah that looks really interesting, wonder why it doesn’t say Day One for that and Psychonauts 2 as well. 

[Majora]

I'm really interested in 12 Minutes but I feel like it's the kind of game there will be no middle ground for. It's so high concept it'll either knock it out of the park or people will be incredibly disappointed.
