Always wanted to play Donut County, now's my chance.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Playground is yet to disappoint. Naturally, I will be partial towards them.



I'm most excited for The Initiative followed by Playground Games and Obsidian.

I don't know what other games Ninja Theory has done but Hellblade was a massive disappointment for me. Never even bothered to finish it. So they're the studio I'm least excited for. Hope they'll come up with a better story with more of actual gameplay for their next game.

Haven't played Hellblade yet but I did play Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DmC.
All of them were in the range from 7/10 to 8/10 for me (with Enslaved being the best IMO).
I would put them at the top of the second tier of Microsoft's developers.



While I am not really excited for any studio I do look forward to Playground Games Fable game and what the Initiative has in store.

With gamepass, I'm seeing a trend. Franchises that have a new installment coming up always put the previous game up on gamepass, to garner new players into the franchise. This happened with Fallout 4 being added before 76, Division 1 before Division 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider before Shadow, Hitman 1 before Hitman 2, Rage before Rage 2, and now MK 10 before MK 11.

Insane line up for Gamepass this month. It is starting to grow too big now. What's Microsoft plan from here on? Smaller games or less popular ones will disappear in the middle of the big games. The service would lose it biggest advantage fpr most of the developers it it continues like this.



Idk if I answered this already but I'm most excited about Obsidian the MOST but I'm also excited for Ninja Theory and Playground games.
