I have been saying for a few years now that i think Microsoft is getting out of console hardware, and pushing cloud gaming and Game Pass to the switch and PlayStation marketplaces.
We’re already seeing game pass on certain Samsung smart TVs, all you need is a Bluetooth controller, which means the mobile phone market is right around the corner.
Not gonna lie, i loved Shipment for the easy 50+ kill count. When i played OG shipment, (this new one isn’t as good as the OG) it was very high kill counts: 60+ for top of the board, 30+ average. Which is the best way to progress weapons ranks. Then switch over to that other map I’m blanking on, to progress the specific kill type counters like crouched kills or longshots or mounted. 2 months of that and double weapon xps, would get you the final weapon camo.
Haven’t played CoD in a year though because i realized that’s all i wanted to play to unlock better stuff for weapons. Not even to play other maps or gametypes for those new weapons.
I happened across We Happy Few a long while back in Game Pass. I initially came into it thinking it was going to be a small indie game that would take me a day or two tops, to finish. My god it was far larger than i thought.
I got about halfway through Act 1 before a few other games caught my attention for a while, but this game always stuck in the back of my mind, and i was determined that i would return to finish it at some point.
When i did come back, it was no longer on game pass so i ended up buying the full thing with all of the DLC, and the story just sucked me in for a week! And that was just blowing through the main quests as i was so intrigued i couldn’t bear to do any side quests. I finally did beat it the other day, and started on to the first DLC. It is just as long as the main story!! I’m still having a blast playing it!
I’ve been recommending it to everyone, and to at the very least, put it in their wishlist!
I would also recommend Hell Let Loose. We recently had a game night with about 6 friends who all come from call of duty style, faster paced games. All of them mentioned how slow it felt and half of them were able to adjust to the new style and did pretty good. I would compare it to Battlefield but in a hardcore mode with less destructable environments.
