We've seen so many game companies go from producing amazing legends to producing high-budget mediocrity as they've embraced the wokist cult that wokeism is a huge red flag. That's enough to motivate me to not buy a game unless the reviews really dispell the common issues, and even then only if I really want to play the game.

I'm struggling to think of a single development group that has gone woke and hasn't had their product severely diminished. All the great games are being released by groups that seem to either be ambivalent or hostile toward wokism.

I think baldars gate 3 made a good product with most woke elements. They just let you murder folks you dont like and dont force the lectures.

making the player a mushroom godlike is such a terrible idea in the first place. very very few people want to play as a gross mushroom person.
What do you have against Reddit mods?

I want to see this as well. Plus I am having a hard time justifying keeping Gamepass when I start having to pay monthly for it again this year.

lol I think that is 90% of everyone on gamepass. We stacked the cards until 2026.

start having to pay monthly
Paying $20 a month direct to MS is crazy talk. It's still only about $9 a month for Ultimate from Eneba. Or you can let the sub expire and buy 12 month Core codes and convert up to 36 months at 2:1 ratio (used to be 3:2 but late last year they went and partially closed that loophole). Still works out to about $7 a month that way so it's not terrible.

Still have 26 months left on mine, by that time they'll probably have completely gutted the Core conversion.

I think mine runs out in June this year? My kids may have already run out. I have used it so little despite being a big fan of the GamePass concept since Starfield I may just let it go for a while. My kids are playing Roblox and nothing, respectively, and we own everything for the most part. And I haven't turned on my XBox (nor my PS5 in all honesty) in months since I am playing everything on the PC.

Thanks Vorph for the tips! Forget the Core conversion, they may have gutted Xbox in its entirety down to a sliver at that point.

indiana jones was a 9/10 game for me and i play call of duty every day and its on gamepass now so the service is still worth it for me but yeah the drip of interesting new games is a lot less now, 90% of the new games they add every month look like garbage now. Not quite as bad as PS+ i guess.

i'm stacked till 2028 (3 years maxxed out), by then i expect most gamepass games to just be walking sims where you lecture white people on their privilege

I watched that 8 hour preview and the entire game looks like it was made by a bunch of 3rd graders. Those fucking god awful animations - that lip sync was hilarious, the gameplay looked boring as fuck, and that isn't even topping on the DEI shit and a video where the director of the game said "Jank makes the game interesting" - I mean JFC.



These people are fucking retarded.

It really doesn't take much to make Ultimate worth keeping though. Avowed may have ended up being worthless trash (and the same likely goes for Outer Worlds 2 since Obsidian is as dead as BioWare now), but Ninja Gaiden Black and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will have already paid for the annual cost by April. Anything beyond that is just a bonus, and there's plenty of stuff that has potential--Atomfall, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Doom: Dark Ages, Replaced, etc. Hollow Knight 2 as well, assuming they can finally get the thing out the door by the end of '25. And that's just the day one stuff, there's always a bunch more that gets added randomly. Pretty sure MS' deal with SEGA is still ongoing, so people who didn't buy Metaphor and/or Yakuza 8 are likely to get those by the end of the year too.
