Same. A few months ago for me. It's cool though at least now more people get to play it.

If you haven't played it yet you might be able to get a refund, same thing happened to me a couple months ago.

Damn Dark Descent was one of my personal GOTY last year. Hopefully people give this one a go, they did a great job and I want a sequel.

For real. I got it on sale back in January, and it was lots of fun. I'm not normally too into the Alien franchise, but I really enjoyed this game. It was a tad buggy in parts, and the sniping mechanic wasn't well explained, but still well worth the $25 or so I paid for it.

Genahin is a free game and the $10 bundle is not a worthy deal. It's better try the game as F2P, and if you like it, buy the $5 monthly pass instead. That's the most worthy in-game item to buy for the long run.

Nine Sols is the low key big dick drop out of the bunch.

You could have low key big dick, but you really want the drop. That's where the money shots at, you know.

I was ready to buy it the moment the developers dropped a xbox port, what a nice surprise when I saw it would be a gamepass day one release.

u/elmatador12 Nov 19 '24
The most annoying part about gamepass tiers is that these announcements now include games that are already on gamepass just now they’re on gamepass standard. 🙄

u/AssidicPoo Nov 19 '24
I don't like this new padding of adding games to standard, making the list look big. But nine sols, flight sim and stalker 2 is a great haul, looking forward to all of these.

u/Lurky-Lou Nov 19 '24
Their problem is that the games were already added to the service they pay for
7
u/AssidicPoo Nov 19 '24
I just wish it was more clear when games are being added to standard vs Ultimate. Little Kitty Big City, and Plate Up have been on the service for a while now, but are being added to standard. When I see the image of new games being added, it looks like more is actually being added, when in reality, two of them have been on Game Pass for a while.

Downloading MSFS 2024 and stalker 2 back to back is a grind, but I really want to play both games

I’ve never seen flight simulator acronym’d like that before, so my brain read “downloading Muthafuckas 2024.”

u/Annual-Astronaut3345 Nov 19 '24
I had already pre installed it only for GSC to give another 138 GB update today. Had to download the whole thing again.

Please don't sleep on aliens dark descent, it's a good alien game and it's underrated

Did Stalker 2 disappear for anyone else form the Game Pass app on the Xbox itself?
It was always there in the past for me and I pre-installed it that way (and it now loaded the full 150 gigs plus a 130 gig or so patch yesterday).
But when I open Game Pass on my Series X, Stalker 2 is not there. When I search for it in Game Pass, it does not even come up in the results.
On the other hand, when I open the Store on the Series X and search for Stalker 2 it shows up and is also havig the Game Pass badge (it also shows this badge in my games library).
Weird.
Edit: I get downvoted for asking a question? Seriously? What is happening on reddit...

Oh wow, you are 100% correct! In the Game Pass app you need the periods, in the Store you don't. Thanks!

u/cugabuh Nov 19 '24
Ya that’s happened to me a handful of times with other games right before or during its release window. Its usually back within a few hours after the game has officially launched.

u/majorziggytom Nov 19 '24
Ah, good to know – thanks! Was wondering if something is wrong on my end and that the 150gb preload will be useless at launch unless I fix something and redownload.

u/thrillynyte Nov 19 '24
These standard announcements are such a cheap way of filling these announcements which have become very thin on its own. Sure, we have two big day one releases but these graphics used to be bigger. Now, the leaving soon is always bigger than what's coming

dumbass question, were you forced to update stalker 2 with a 138 gb patch after you downloaded the 140 gb preload and the 16 gb patch?
I mean why preload when you are forced to redownload the game one day before lauch with atrocious bandwidth

Dark Descent? Been on my wishlist for too long and have been too much of a Bum to pull the trigger....
Big ass W.
I can finally play Genshin again (played during Beta), STALKER 2, Finish Death Stranding, AND dark descent?
Going to be a busy holiday season

New to Xbox (PS gamer since day 1) and am pleasantly surprised at how good gamepass is. Currently playing BO6, Lords of the Fallen, and Ori... and now I see Nine Sols is coming too 🤯
I haven't played my PlayStation in weeks, and to think that I was basically anti-xbox for so many years 🙃

Keys only go out today, there was a reason (likely due to cloud tech or some such) pure xbox posted about the delay.

Cheers, honestly I doubt reviews are needed, I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t be as good as 2020.

u/bitterbalhoofd Nov 19 '24
A potential game of the year candidate they called it in your article.... Yep as per usual the game awards are pure crap again seeing what they nominated. Even a dlc lol

u/Boredatwork709 Nov 19 '24
Well it released too late for this year's awards, it literally came out after the nominations were announced
-1
u/bitterbalhoofd Nov 19 '24
So they were too early. December is also this year. Hold the event in January so every game has a fair chance
3
u/WorkingAssociate9860 Nov 19 '24
And games released between the cut off and December of this year will be included in next year's potential GOTY. They have the same chance as any other game.
Most award shows do their nominations before the year is over, the actual date of the awards and nominations is irrelevant when it's consistent.

I’m so confused. Little Kitty Big City has been on Gamepass for ages.
