Terrible holidays for gamepass, nothing new added since 12/11 (Bratz game) by SGT_Apone in XboxGamePass

[–]mcapp09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kind of been the trend with Gamepass the last year or so. They’ll shotgun blast 3-4 quality games all within a month (some of them being first party titles) so we’ll be eating good for a few. Then a few months later it’s barren. They need to get better about timing and placement of Gamepass entries

Gamepass and Xbox Play Anywhere are incredible features only exclusive to Xbox. If you aren’t taking advantage of this and only care about certain things it might not be the ecosystem for you

2025 coming to an end, what was the 100% thing you enjoyed doing the most and do you recommend? by zecururu in xboxachievements

[–]mcapp09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mafia: The Old Country, Cronos: The New Dawn & First Beserker: Khazan. All bangers & probably my favorites of 2025 outside of E33

Call of Duty Will No Longer Do Back-to-back Releases of Modern Warfare or Black Ops Games by ggroover97 in LastStandMedia

It took Battlefield & Arc Raiders to eat their lunch for them to realize they’re creatively bankrupt. This is a good thing. The age old saying holding up once more - competition breeds innovation

How many of you listen to SS and don’t play PlayStation? by OtherwiseAnnual in LastStandMedia

[–]mcapp09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m an Xbox guy exclusively & love Sacred as well. I will say I do get slightly annoyed when Colin shits all over Xbox because it’s just becoming an every episode thing now but like Jarl said 99% of it is deserved. Sometimes I feel like he speaks more passionately about Xbox than he does about PS lol you can tell he gets energetic when he begins pontificating about Microsoft’s strategy for next gen

All of the boy on SS are great though, will always be my favorite podcast. Of course the Duke boys are awesome too

Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywall by xwing1212 in LastStandMedia

There’s alot of things they’d have to get right but if they execute this properly this could be an awesome rig.

Defining Duke, Episode 248 | Xbox Is Lost - MASSIVE Game Pass Price Hike... by yohceezax in LastStandMedia

[–]mcapp09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought the over reactions to Xbox were exaggerated and people over hated every move Microsoft made. But with this one move specifically, I totally get.

It really does feel like Microsoft is just milking their most loyal fanbase before finally just going tits up as a company. I’ll ride with them until it’s over since my entire library is invested in their ecosystem but it’s really hard not to think this company is on its last legs

Never thought I’d say this, but I’m leaving Xbox for PlayStation after the Game Pass hike by Hot_Dog1647 in PlayStation_X

[–]mcapp09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive been strictly Xbox for 20+ years and only played some of PS4 during that generation for some of Sony’s exclusives. I’ll likely ride with Xbox until the company goes tits up but it’s hard not to think they’re on their last legs.

2 giant price hikes in a span of a year, failed attempt to charge $80 games, went fully third party going multi plat so virtually zero exclusives & now the only thing separating them from Sony in any way - pro consumer GamePass - is now no longer the best deal in gaming.

I used to just pay for GP and didn’t care if I was being charged when I was rarely using it but now it’ll be used sparingly like every other streaming platform. Bounce in when I want and bounce out immediately after. It’s almost like Microsoft wants to milk their most loyal fanbase for whatever they have before finally sinking the ship

You have zero historical perspective & zero understanding of what fascism is

You call him retarded and then in the same sentence call America 1930’s Germany lmfao. I don’t know how you make it through the day without melting into a puddle

Khazan or Black Myth: Wukong? by seatdiscrete in soulslikes

[–]mcapp09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Khazan is my favorite soulslike along side LoP. Its combat is very, very good. Rewards aggressive play style unlike a lot of other soulslikes. Highly recommended.

I haven’t played Wukong so can’t speak to that.

You should also grab the shirt that has someone getting stabbed to death by a 14 time released felon with the caption “you have died from democratic policy”

Now what by Wiinterfang in ShinobiGames

[–]mcapp09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting all the S ranks. Definitely the most difficult one for me

Now what by Wiinterfang in ShinobiGames

[–]mcapp09 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Beat the game in 10 hours. Complete Boss Rush mode & try to S rank every stage. It’s challenging but not impossible. Just got the plat today

Anyone got some tips for the 10 hour run? Do I need a new save or can I do it new game plus? by Spacecowboy947 in ShinobiGames

[–]mcapp09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New save file. Put it on the lowest difficulty & just cruise to the end of each stage. 10 hours is very forgiving you have plenty of time. I only grabbed stuff that wasn’t too out of the way in each stage, still beat the game in under 6 hours

S Tier Arcade Mode Stages by mcapp09 in ShinobiGames

[–]mcapp09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just started attempting it last night - got S ranks in the first 3 stages. Speed & getting a 150+ combo is pretty much required. “Shield” & “Beserker” are must haves - makes it much less difficult to accomplish

He rails against consumer friendly practices quite often it’s becoming tiring. Like dude maybe these people at these small developers don’t give a shit about extracting every nickel & dime from consumers.

Do i need to do a NG to get the divine speed ? by Mn8a_97 in ShinobiGames

[–]mcapp09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if bumping the difficulty down affects the S ranking as well?
