When was the last time Blizzard had legendary teams?

Maybe when StarCraft 2 came out or the first couple years of Overwatch. Although in hindsight they were doing some pretty un-legendary things behind the scenes.

It's still running though, right? They're just not currently adding anything more to it. I see my friends playing that game still from time to time.

I’d hesitate to call the pixel remasters definitive (aside from III), since the extra content from the GBA releases isn’t there.

Once again I’ve paid the game pass tax. I just bought dead space last week lol

I kinda wish they would announce upcoming games sooner or something. It makes it hard to determine if you should buy something or hold off indefinitely

buzziebee,

Unlucky :( I’ve had it on my wishlist but it was too much for me. Glad I’m going to get to play it. I never finished 3 so a full series playthrough might be in order. If you haven’t logged many hours on it you might be able to swing a refund? Though a week is a long time.

Crystal_Shards64,

I purchased a physical copy for once, so that’s a no go for me. However I did get it on sale so it’s not quite as bad as it could be.

I’ve found this happens at least once a year or so. So I’ve just come to accept it haha.

OverfedRaccoon, do games w Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Sea of Stars, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Gris, and Firewatch

I’m really looking forward to Sea of Stars. I’m not even big on turn-based RPGs, save for a few exceptions, but it’s really speaking to me. Not sure if it scratches a nostalgia itch or if it’s the gorgeous art, but I’m into it.

Is this for the PC only version too? I can’t tell through all the marketing speak.

Microsoft is also increasing the price of its PC Game Pass subscription today, moving from $11.99 a month to $16.49 monthly — a nearly 40 percent increase. Microsoft isn’t trying to justify this increase with any added extras for PC players, though.

“The only change happening for PC Game Pass subscribers is that they won’t be getting Ubisoft Plus Classics, but they’ll be getting about 50 additional Ubisoft titles across PC Game Pass,” Blackwell says. “It will continue to get day one titles.”

Paradachshund,

Thank you!

Rooster326,

I would reckon most are still saving money but we will know it is going to keep going up in price.

I would be subscribed but you can’t use it on steam deck.

That’s quite interesting, leaving aside all the monopoly arguments, I think this has potential to being very beneficial to all blizzard games, and so to us.

Piers,

It looks like Kotick will be leaving after the transition so that’s a great start. My dream is that this all somehow leads to the full Overwatch PvE campaign coming back onto the table again (given that their attempts to provide long-term replay ability without doing the work seem to be floundering now, there’s a chance right?)

Team fuck overwatch and everything blizzard made

TheresNodiee,

It’ll definitely be interesting to see how MS treats Blizz’s ongoing IPs. There’s definitely opportunity to improve things there with Diablo 4 not keeping people’s attention and OW2… being OW2.

simple, (edited ) do games w Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Starfield, Solar Ash, and Lies of P

Despite the fact that I complained on release that Solar Ash isn’t nearly as good as Hyper Light Drifter, I think it’s a really underrated game. The atmosphere and visuals are incredible, and the platforming is really fun. Hopefully now it’ll get some recognition.

Excited to play Lies of P when it comes out. I’ve been wanting an actually good soulslike for a while.

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein, do games w Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up]

Don’t suppose there’s still a cheap trick to buying 3 years of vouchers for relatively cheap and upgrading to Ultimate? That worked great in 2022, but I’m guessing they shut it down.

Gerudo,

I haven’t been able to buy cheaper months since the last price hike. Cdkeys had one sale and it sold out insanely fast.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I just bought three years of EA play and converted it into a year of gamepass last month. Seems to be the best deal left now.

Trill88,

CDKeys is definitely not what it use to be for this stuff. Use to get a dirt cheap year of basic, convert with a month of Ultimate n good to go. Or some variation of that. I think those days are long gone now unfortunately

ms_lane, do games w Xbox returns to gamescom next month with over 20 playable demos, including Hollow Knight: Silksong

I’ll believe it when I see it, They’re probably just announcing 20 cancellations.

Silksong

Won’t believe that until it’s on my local storage, until then it’s just a myth.

The first one was great. So full of camp and didn’t take itself seriously like the later games did.

WOO WOO!

Dariusmiles2123, do games w Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation

Finally I’ll be able to replay the first Gears of War.

If it runs on the Steam Deck, I might even play it there instead of on my ps5.

While I appreciate it means its finally coming to Steam, I’m sad this mean no 2 and 3

Especially the adaptive joystick is a really great idea. What with being able to do the design with them but then have it 3D printed elsewhere.
