Faaahhh this months line up looks amazing
Xbox DOGSHIT games
Grande Xbox One s l' adoro grandissimo gamepass altro che PlayStation
Sinking City 2 has potential. I liked the first one but they really need to bring some life to that open world. That aspect was terribly dull
Just checked and it says sinking city 2 is not on Gamepass?
All these are releasing on game pass?
My purchases for this month are Mortal Shell II and Gallipoli, I was close to buy HLL Vietnam but tried the demo and to me needs a little bit of polish. Nonetheless, I won't skip GoW E-day beta, and Beast of Reincarnation on gamepass. Busy month, hlad I'll be on holidays 🙂
Luckily/unluckily I have severe ADHD and am constantly game hopping 😂
Hey Flecther! I may have missed it in a video, but I never saw you highlight the new MTB game MAVRIX that just dropped on GP. Its a really sick game with somewhat real physics. It does have microtransactions BUT everything can be earned in game by grinding. Unlike some other games… I'm looking at you Skate
Can anyone share game pass? I want to try
Its written xbot game past in the thumbnail.
give me my xbox live gold back! i have zero interest in game pass! i just wanna play online and buy games seperatly!!!
THIS IS LITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I liked and Subscribed ❤
Aliens. All DAY & EVERY DAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is Vietnam coming to Gamepass?
Hey Fletcher, is it possible to add whether the games are Xbox play anywhere? Thanks in advance 🤩
I might need a temporary divorce with my wife to play my backlog
I stopped watching after he said Mafia old country is “really reallly good”
Beast of Reincarnation shows a huge leap in, uh, skill for Game Freak's indie team. I mean, they've been cranking away at non-Pokemon games for awhile now – heck, this is their THIRD modern Xbox title alone (after Giga Wrecker and Little Town Hero at least… I can't remember if Tembo the Badass Elephant is on Xbox One or Series SX or not) and it looks generations ahead of Giga Wrecker and Little Town Hero (and their Pokemon games). Awesome for them! I hope it turns out well.
Once Human, Resonance, Star Wars Zero Company, MGS Perfect Collection 2, the Gears of War E-Day beta…. there's loads of awesome stuff dropping in August. Dang… I gotta figure out a way to carve out some free time.
Will all these be on game pass
Boycott Madden
I loved the first sinking city. This looks incredible so I’m excited to play it. Big big improvements I see here.
New subscriber here 🎉
XPA?
I bought Mafia on PS5 so i'l get the DLC there, but i'll buy the Sinking City 2 and STALKER 2 dlc on Series X
None .absolutly nothing has grabbed my atention for august . That mean i can save £150+ unless a sequal to what remains of edith finch comes out (its about time -it csme out in 2017)
LOL XBOX hhahahahahahhah
Kool! More indie/independent and original Xbox/360 slop…..
I’ll save plenty of time because they have done nothing to win back my money after all the bs they pulled.
Can’t play any the services down
EA Sports it's in the Game…
Mafia is also a Great Game can't wait to play it…
You might want to make a video about the problems with digital games that are going on right now.
No one can play any of the games they own.
i really gotta get resonance and duskfade im most excited about both these titles
Fireteam Elite 2 just looks off. The way the character moves around. The total lack of impact of the weapons. Shooting an alien with several shotgun shells and it doesn't even stagger or change animation. Looks sub-par.
Let’s see how long this outage is.
I wanted to play some Vietnam beta on my day off but Xbox had other plans
My favourite YT 🎉🎉
Beeeeeeee Ta
Idk how these nfl games keep getting players, its a kinda boring game
Mention Steins;gate re;boot. It will launch in the same day with Mortal Shell 2 and it will be 4 month exclusive to xbox and pc
I played the Duskfade demo 3 months ago and it was beefy and fantastic! bosses felt intriguing and the platforming was great! cant wait for it more!
im effected by an outage. i cant even play games i own right now im definitely NOT thinking about buying any more games any time soon.
In just 3 months, there will be GTA 6 in one of these videos ❤
mortal shell 2 is on the list for sure
Sinking city 2 looks really really good.
I wanna try beast of reincarnation
what a month of games, i can't wait for the star wars game and hell let loose
