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

Maw N Paw said:I wouldn't bother, I'm a fan of the film and horror in general but this was an absolute chore to get through, The final level in particular is one of the worst I've ever played, it just goes on and on where you do nothing but walk down a corridor, reach a dead end then need to backtrack to see what's changed. Not to mention the part where you have to listen to your dog whining for several minutes straight if you want the good ending.

I just finished my 2nd pacifist playthrough of Blair Witch and only have the Snake Charmer achievement left to finish. I didn't enjoy it that much. If it weren't for some guides I was using, I would have been extremely frustrated with this game.

I am picking up from the library the Stranger Things season 1 tv series to see if I like it next. If I do I will watch the rest of the series and play the game as well before it leaves Gamepass.

I've never really watched Stranger Things so the story probably wouldn't mean much especially the game being based on season 3 from what I can tell, but the same situation didn't stop me from playing and enjoying TT's GoT game.

So have to ask, is the Stranger Things game any good? I like the pixelated art style, but I don't really know anything about it other than that.

Stranger Things doesn't have achievements on Windows. This is kindof mixed sad. No achievements, but it looks like a fun game.

And now I gotta focus on Blair Witch Project instead.

i have made a music-video for the new games and games which are leaving

I'm only up to Chapter 6 or 7 on Blair Witch. I find it hard to play for lengthy periods and I get lost every step.

For those thinking about a Blair Witch completion... Use a guide (it's easier with a video guide for the collectibles) and do one playthrough so you know where you're going. The 'no combat' one where you can't use the flashlight isn't bad at all (turn up the brightness to see where you're going). The one where you have to get Bullet's complete loyalty can be glitchy though but spamming petting him worked for me. It's a pretty cool game I thought.

only to find later that Bullet was barking up to me for the same amount of time because

Hoping I can complete this before the 31st. I'm especially worried about the 2nd playthrough. But we'll see.

I just started playing NBA2K ffs

Remco1986 said:I’m past the first playthrough I ended up lost in the forest but managed to get past that after walking around like a headless chicken. I found Aussie’s video guide to help for most of the guide but would jump to another video guide to get me past points he didn’t show. So back and fourth. Haven’t got much left to do only pacifist run and the odd achievements like having bullet fetch items. I wish you all luck in completing this before it ends.

I played through Stranger Things a few months ago. I couldn’t do the second playthrough because the game was terrible, especially compared to the tv show. Might as well complete it though since it’s leaving game pass.

suite said:I did my first playthrough yesterday. It wasn't too bad but somehow I managed to miss one piece of trash! So not only do I have to do a pacifist play through but I need to pick up the trash again. So frustrating.

JWx14 said:Oh no how annoying :( , you’ll do it! I’ve just finished the whole game. The only downfall is the monsters chasing you and heading back to the cart had to redo that 3 times. Brightness up yet it’s still too dark.

Boots Orion said:There are multiple settings that shortens games in The Show. Among other things you can do, my favorite is the one where the pitcher has already thrown a few pitches by the time you control the batter. It makes the game go much quicker.

FightingMegaFoo said:Quick Counts is the mode you are thinking of. Also March to October and many Diamond Dynasty offline modes are three innings or less(moments.) The RttS achievements for being promoted, just sim. The only time I have played a full 9 innings is either for grinding(my choice) or Ranked Seasons.

MetalNuck said:Thanks for the tips guys. If I decide to put time into it again, I'll refer back to these posts.

My comment was more about how my gaming preferences have changed in the last 15 years than any critique of The Show, but I do appreciate being able to make games go quicker.

Sucks that Stranger Things is leaving, was using it for super easy weekly GP Quests.

can you guys explain me why NB 2K21 is leaving the program if it's part of EA play???

You know, I've pushed few quite a few games to reach the 100% well after the fun factor was gone, but I just couldn't do it with Blair Witch. An amazing concept in an incredibly dull and ultimately disappointing game. I dropped it about a year and a half ago and haven't gotten back to it. Shame because it's a pretty simple completion, but I'll have to live with a low percentage on this one. Had a game-breaking glitch that made me quit.
