Xbox Game Pass losing Blair Witch, NBA 2K21, and more

R.I.P. to NBA 2K21…

Might go for the Stranger Things completion

Shame - I kept meaning to get around to Blair Witch. Then again, if I haven't by this point, I probably never was...

Fully expected Spiritfarer to leave. Not looking forward to completing Blair Witch. The creature fighting is pretty terrible and the blind playthrough is gonna be a pain.

GoyetteQC said:It's really not that bad of a completion and there aren't a lot of creature encounters.

Never got around to 100% in Stranger Things. Probably never will now.

Da GermanPro said:What's weird is that when I got my first 360 in 2006, it was primarily to get sports games but now I don't really even enjoy them.

When The Show joined Game Pass in April, I was super excited to play it but I don't even think I've been able to get through a 9 inning game yet. I may put more effort into it whenever we get the "leaving soon" announcement for it, but I know I'm not going to waste my time trying to complete it.

The Blair Witch Project - or as I like to refer to it, The Lost In The Woods Simulator.

I guess I need to get back to the Blair Witch Project! Would like to at least get through 1 playthrough.

I thought Blair Witch was an exclusive title for Xbox and PC?

GoyetteQC said:Blair Witch really isn't so bad, though I did follow the wonderful walkthrough we have on here.

At least the ones that bought NBA 2k21 when it was $5 will have more time

GoyetteQC said:Just max the brigthness. 0 need for your flashlight at that point.

GoyetteQC said:By blind play through, do you mean you are foregoing using a guide or are you referring to the play through where you have to avoid combat? If it’s the latter, you really only have to avoid using lights during the railway section and it isn’t a problem at all with the gamma cranked all the way up. Keep in mind it’ll also be your second play so you’ll ideally know the layouts of each chapter.

At all other points in the game, you can pretty much run around with a flashlight and just tank damage from any enemy that accidentally gets aggro-ed until you sprint to the next safety “point”. Enemies are generally far and few in between and their scripting is pretty dumb, to boot.

That being said, I’m dreading completing this game again too but simply because I don’t think it’s very good. Great themes but not exceptionally well executed gameplay and it drags on and on. The 10-12 hours I spent with it felt more like 15-20; Bloober’s other works are far superior IMO.

Edit: D’oh! Should have read the rest of the thread, a number of people have already responded to your comment. Ah well, I’ll leave this up as friendly advice for anyone considering completing it.

I guess I should finally get around to doing playthrough two of Blair Witch and ST3 then to wrap up the last achievements.

Might do Stranger Things. Though, I doubt I'll enjoy it with the 1985 graphics so it might not be worth it.

I like those graphics when it comes to something like Midway Arcade Origins, but with a 'modern' game that's actually remotely complex, It just makes it a pain to play.

Boots Orion said:I get that. I used to play this with friends but not anymore. Now I rarely play it.

crap i wanted to finish blair witch dont think i can though

Iceberg082006 said:Doesn't take too long, you should be able to finish in 10-12 hours if you use the walkthrough religiously. (I don't know how anyone could complete the game without one..) Not that hard either, only mildly difficult thing for me was trying to know where the witch was without a headset. But it spawns you right before the encounter if you die, and there's not that many encounters. And only chapter 8 was hard in the pacifist playthrough.
