They can’t stand Xbox but there’s no denying gamepass…due to it factually being the best deal in gaming tm…..just ask them.
Playing the priest on Hunter: The Reckoning back on OG Xbox trained me for this day.Now that I kind of understand how to play, aim and actually kill enemies aim in a twinstick shooter, the game is totally fun so far.
Eek, looks like a shallow arpg with a slick coat of paint. What a drought we’re in…
So true. Its seem if they dont talk about it, somehow people wont notice. Maybe its in Microsoft contract to talk about it. Many new youtubers who got XSX as a "review unit" suddenly started mentioning Gamepass in every review.You could deny Gamepass, by simply not bringing it up every 5 minutes on a video game podcast.

shallow ARPG = toxic gamer now? Oh boy...7.5 is bad now?
Damn toxic gamers
Is 64?
A 70ish score SHOULD be decent, but we know gaming scores are very heavily tilted to the high numbers. Even a low 80 concerns me.
Game Pass hurts you doesn’t it? It is the best thing in gaming right now.You mean all the "journalists" that constantly say Gamepass™ is the best deal in gaming? And can't stop advertising it non stop?
Ryan McAffrey (IGN) couldn't bring himself to score it above 7, right there you know it must be around a 5 for someone that doesn't have such a strong bias as that guy has.There is 100% an Xbox bias in the games media. That is starting to turn around, but it’s been super obvious for years. If you think these “journalists” are immune to bias and fanboyism, that is a ignorant take.
Go on i'll bite. Why would they score it a little better for being on Gamepass?That Metacritic sure ain’t too flattering, and we all know a bunch of people gave it a little extra for being a gamepass title.
But to be fair, it’s an indie game that never looked like it would amount to much more than this in the end. It still looks kinda fun.
It's 75 for PC, 64 for Xbox. And, yes, an 80 is an average metacritic score in gaming and has been for many years.It’s 76, stop trolling.
Low 80s concerns you? so concerned troll lol
Literally every thread will end up like this until Sony gets their own version of gamepass. Bookmark this

4 hours in and as usual I don’t understand harsh critics. I mean, this is great!Just put a couple of hours in. So far its an 8/10 for me. I knocked it down a bit for slightly confusing menu's, and the tutorial not really explaining everything cleary, for me anyway. Plus i got a bit of loading stutter every so often.
The graphics are so god damn detailed though, its crazy looking with the lighting.
Oh so its just a load of conspiracy bollcks coming out of your mouths, like usual. I suppose ACG has been influenced by Microsoft too eh?.Don’t be naive brother come on, these cats can’t flood their podcasts and YouTube’s with Gamepass love, hype up a little game like The Ascent just because it’s Xbox exclusive gamepass day 1, and then review it as if it was a 70 or 40 dollar game. You know they didn’t!
You yourself would’ve been much harsher on the game if you had to pay
40$ or more for it. Let’s not act cute about it.

It's what they do.Overhype, underdeliver.
So you're saying that the Gamepass payment model is so innovative that it literally makes you enjoy games more than you would paying for them in the traditional model!? That's a bold claim sir. I don't think even Phil Spencer has claimed that.You yourself would’ve been much harsher on the game if you had to pay
40$ or more for it. Let’s not act cute about it.
For those wanting all the best games day one, Game Pass doesn't help much.
Allow me to show you the average, modern Gamers thought process.7.5 is bad now?
Damn toxic gamers
So how does just owning one console and playing on one console "help much" if you want to play the best games?
I have RTX 3080, XSX, PS5 and Switch I feel I am in a good position to have an opinion on playing the best games on the best platform.
Who said anything about owning one console? Who said anything about "best platform"?
For those wanting all the best games day one, Game Pass doesn't help much.
You said.
Which is bullshit, as GP helps a lot to play the best games on that ecosystem by lowering the cost of entry.
Probably best to stop crapping on the Ascent review thread with off topic discussion.Make up your mind what you want to talk about

Man The Ascent, Flight Sim, and Record year for Xbox really has brought out the salt in you lot, and its a very bitter brand too.
Who’s they?It's what they do.
Its actually an 8/10 game for me so far, and very good its been in my 2 hours so far.The Ascent is by all accounts a mediocre game so I really don’t see how it can make anyone other than a Xbox fan bitter that they overhyped it.

Why would i be bitter?, i have paid for plenty of $60 games over the years that i thought were shit. It didnt stop me buying more.I didn’t say you were bitter, I said if you had paid 30$ it would influence how you reacted to it. Saying it’s an 8/10 because you played 2 hours is funny in its own right though.
Can’t give it a score yet, but loving it so far as well. And it’s a beautiful game with so much detail everywhere.Its actually an 8/10 game for me so far, and very good its been in my 2 hours so far.
The Ascent's satisfying gun-tastic action-RPG gameplay loop mixes with its beautiful cyberpunk aesthetic to create an overall enjoyable experience. Reviewed on PC by Ryan McCaffrey
Ui is a bit of a mess, yeah.I heard that the gameplay is good but menù are a mess.
