I think the guns are almost all bad, and right now I feel like I need to do too much shooting.
Sounds like you haven't gotten the rocket or grenade launchers yet...you may never use a gun again after that!
I'm in complete agreement with your characterization of the game. I rather dig it, but it's nice to not feel like I have to love it (after spending $60).
While the open world is a bit sparse in some ways, that's good for me. I get too distracted by all the potential side quests in most open world games. Hell, I never got very far in the original Red Dead Redemption because I kept chasing rabbits and deer all over the damned countryside.
On the other hand: when I play this game, I keep thinking it would be more fun if I were playing as The Tick.
For most of the game, my go to weapon was the Pulse Beam because it was just delightful to melt enemies and / or set them on fire.
At the very end of the game I found
The Anubis - 200 mini rockets of mayhem!
Crackdown 3 is pretty good, but my first boss battle was filled with glitches and crashes. I somehow ended up way up in the air, and fell down through the ground and died, and the game completely froze. It's very satisfying blowing stuff up, they sound great.
The one thing that annoys me so far, what's with the "STOP" and "REVERSE" lights/signs on the back of the cars? I know the direction by the lights, but the words? Unless it's a color blind helper? If it is, I reserve my judgment on that one.
Wrecking Zone, however, is, well, like picking a lock with a herring. And it gets a bit confusing. Ephew.
I never played a Crackdown game, but I thought I'd give this a shot.
Plays like a game from 2008. I shut it off after 15 min. Wasn't pulling me at all.
Booted up We Happy Few last night, as I have been quite curious about it. Hell, the trailer in the Xbox Store alone made me want to check it out.
It's an odd game, for sure. The game drops you into your first quest with very little direction or hand holding. The aesthetic is cool, a 60s era Britain, but not the way we know it. I guess the inference is that Germany won WWII?
Anyway, so far my biggest gripe is that the onscreen prompts are small, white text and can easily get lost. The inventory/crafting/quest menus are quite busy, but the game seems to be easing me into how it all works organically, through just playing.
I only completed whats amounts to the tutorial quest and started in on the next one, but I am certainly intrigued and will keep playing.
I was 100% going to buy Gamepass for Crackdown 3, but then Apex Legends dropped out of nowhere and now I can't even consider playing anything else. Well, I still play Smash and Minecraft with my kids, but once they're ready for battle royale...

Game Pass is currently two months for $2. Seems hard to pass up on that.
I'm all over that deal, but I have a pile avoidance (or pile addition avoidance) rule against paying for games I'm not intending to immediately play.
Still playing Below. Still getting wrecked by the shield guys. This is not an easy game.
The big ones with the red limbs? They're a pain. Try sniping them from afar with fire arrows when possible. I found fire arrows to be pretty much useless otherwise, so that's a good use for them.
Yep. I've been blowing them up with bomb arrows. I haven't managed to make it past floor four because of those jerks.
That's the ice floor, right? That whole area was one of the toughest in the game because of those enemies and the added pressure on your temperature. Thankfully, there's an item you can find in that zone to help with temperature.
If you're struggling or want a change of pace, there is another path you can take for now. I didn't clear the area around floor 4 until later in the game when I had a larger stock of potions.
Yes, the second one. The path from the beach should lead to the ice zone. In the other path, you will pass through an icy transition zone and reach a bridge with candles. There should be a bonfire about halfway down that path. Open the door at the end of that path with your lantern. It should take you to a new zone, definitely not ice.
Edit: Video reference Go to 54:30 if the time stamp doesn't work.
Just Cause 4 and Lego Batman 2 are now available. Just Cause 4 released less than three months ago.
Fallout 4 and F1 2018 are coming on the 14th.
The Xbox Game Pass Twitter account is also teasing a March 12 reveal for something added to Game Pass that releases in April. Who knows what it could be?
This has become the Netflix of videogames.....
Wow, I had downloaded Just Cause 3 when they made it available a couple of months back, but didn't get around to playing it. I guess I'll delete it and download 4 instead?
Funny, Fallout 4 was on Game Pass last year but they pulled it in the weeks before the release of Fallout 76.
If it's a new game to be released in April, I would bet it's an Indie game, something big enough people would care but not so big that the publisher would be forgoing too many full price purchases. Skimming a list of April releases, Super Meat Boy Forever seems like an excellent candidate for that criteria. Or Dangerous Driving? But my money is on meat boy.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider? That feels like Square got it to Game Pass very quickly. I'm now betting that Just Cause 4 makes it to the service by the end of the year.
This was a month ago. Wow.
A plan is a list of things that can go wrong.
Pretty fun, but it's no Crackdown 3.
First-person dungeon crawler Operencia from Zen Studios will release on March 29th and be on Game Pass that same day.
That's great news, I can't wait to play it.
Nice! I hope the class system is robust - I LOVE playing around with classes, skills, and synergies, and an endless dungeon seems the perfect fit for something like that!
Possibly dumb question: does Xbox Game Pass allow you to play any game available there on the PC? Or only games specifically ported to PC?
The latter, and probably even narrower than even that. It's definitely only games with PC ports (they are apparently testing letting you run Xbox games natively on PC, which could be a prelude to letting all Game Pass games work on PC eventually), but also it's not every game on game pass that also has a PC port. Mostly (exclusively?) it's Microsoft published PC games, and I'm not sure it's necessarily all Microsoft published PC games.
