Oh all those recent Gifs and shit came from the Steam page being updated too.

But yeah, Microsoft barely does what would be described as mainstream marketing anymore, I don't think we're going to see Avowed ads plastered over buses and TV. But I personally saw a lot of Indiana Jones Reddit ads and such near launch so we'll probably get those, Lol. Microsoft marketing overall is very anaemic and they seem to rely now on Game Pass/WoM to sell their games.

Anyway...

nice banner 👀 @xbox.com

There's not even a disc holder in the steelbook. Just sad.

Ooof first month is always funny with the easy gamerscore games. Tales of Graces f Remastered was right outside the top 20 at #22 with 445.

Dynasty Warriors seems to be doing quite well, the last two entries on TA were...

  • Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires with 2,328 in 2022
  • Dynasty Warriors 9 with 9,737 in 2018

My question is should I continue doing a combined list of 20. games or do a top 10 gamepass and top 10 non-gamepass list?

The underwater snake sequence in IJ is straight nightmare fuel, underwater levels with any sort of threat element is a personal fucking fear of mine …. 😥

LOL that’s exactly where I’m at in the game! Was playing last night, dove into one of the hollowed stone pillars, removed the wooden board, then saw that thing swim by any the red threat level indicator popped up, and Indy screamed lol. I just went, yeah I’m done for the night anxious to get back on tonight lol 



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Just mark those which are Game Pass in (Game Pass) for a combined top 20.

Hazel's mother Lacey, shown here in her fierce final concept art, is a pillar in Prospero's tight-knit community and one of multiple key characters in South of Midnight.

I’d rate this game a highly recommend with maybe an understanding that it’s a much slower paced game than most in this category. Gotta love that absurdly stupid ending, very much in the spirit of Indiana Jones.

Fiercely territorial, Xaurips will attack anyone who crosses into their land or threatens their tribe. These reptilian humanoids are found in the untamed regions of Eora, where they revere creatures that are far larger than themselves.

Everyone in Prospero knows they can always call on Lacey for help. A loving mother and passionate social worker, Lacey steps up to support her community in the face of the hurricane. After their trailer is swept away, Hazel will begin her journey as a Weaver while desperately searching for Lacey.
