It seems they're all over the place since mid-December - wish they'd hurry up and get their act together as this lack of communication isn't exactly a great omen given how amazing 2023 is meant to be for first party games...
I gave Arc a try but it has obvious patch-creep, with years of obsolete systems added on top of each other, making it very confusing to get started. It did seem interesting enough to increase my interest on Arc 2.
Love Street Fighter 30th over on my Switch. Fantastic collection that hits all the notes of my youthful obsession with Street Fighter. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior is the first arcade game I ever played, down at Lamppost Pizza.

Though now it seems that they'll be up tomorrow given how Microsoft's taking their sweet time for the newest GP batch.
@UnusedBabyWipes ah well good for everyone else. Its an alright game and at least I bought it with reward points on sale. But seriously my luck with every game I buy going to gamepass continues. I guess it will be The Quarry next.
The Balsa 94, a bulk carrier sailing under a Panama flag, passed through the new 35-foot channel headed for St. John, Canada. Two more commercial ships followed later Thursday, including a vehicle carrier headed to Panama.
Five vessels that have been stranded for weeks are expected to finally leave Baltimore through the new, temporary channel. Other ships are scheduled to enter the port, which normally processes more cars and farm equipment than any other in the country.
Thousands of longshoremen, truckers and small business owners have seen their jobs impacted by the collapse, prompting local and state officials to prioritize reopening the port and restoring its traffic to normal capacity in hopes of easing the economic ripple effects of the collapse. Officials have also established various assistance programs for unemployed workers and others impacted by the closure.
The new channel will remain open until Monday or Tuesday and then close again until roughly May 10. During the closure, crews will work to remove steel spans from the deck of the Dali and refloat the ship, which will then be guided back into the port, officials said earlier this week.
But for now, the 35-foot depth is a substantial increase over the three other temporary channels established in recent weeks. It puts the cleanup effort slightly ahead of schedule, as officials previously said they hoped to open a channel of that depth by the end of April.
A hulking vehicle carrier named Carmen that is nearly as long as the Dali became the third commercial ship to traverse the channel Thursday afternoon. Viewed from the deck of a nearby passenger boat, it appeared to sail steadily between the marker buoys, dwarfing the cranes, barges and other wreckage removal equipment that was stationed nearby.
Even with commercial ships chugging past, crews continued the arduous process of clearing debris from the collapse site. On Thursday, they were using a crane apparatus to smash the fallen roadway into more manageable pieces that could be lifted from underwater with a giant claw.
Exactly four weeks after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, salvage crews removed its biggest piece of debris to date, a section of truss weighing 560 tons, clearing the way to open the deepest and widest temporary channel by the end of this week.
The temporary channel will be 35 feet deep and 300 feet wide, with a vertical clearance of 214 feet, the fourth one to open since the freighter Dali struck one of the bridge footings in the early morning hours of March 26 and brought it down instantly. The wreckage has closed off the port to its usual shipping traffic.
Although officials mentioned no specific day for the opening, the Coast Guard released a marine safety bulletin that stated passage through the channel will be allowed starting Thursday, until 6 a.m. on Monday or Tuesday, depending on weather conditions. No severe or unusual weather is predicted in the coming days, although winds will pick up Friday afternoon.
The 35-foot channel will initially be opened for a short time, about four days, allowing departures for five of the seven cargo vessels that have been stranded in port since the bridge fell. Among them is a loaded vessel carrier, Carmen, which has been tied up in Dundalk.
The other four vessels expected to depart through the channel are the tanker Palanca Rio and the cargo ship Balsa 94, both moored along the piers on S. Clinton Street; the cargo ship Saimaagracht, also docked in Dundalk; and the bulk carrier Phatra Naree, which is docked closest to the salvage site at Hawkins Point.
The bulk carriers Klara Oldendorff, docked at Consol Marine Terminal near the north entrance to the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel, and Jy River, in Curtis Bay, will remain until the full channel is open. Coal carriers are among the heaviest of commercial vessels and have the deepest drafts, even when empty.
Separating the bridge structure from the Dali is the key step in towing the ship and securing it to a dock. And removing the Dali is key to restoring the full channel, which engineers have promised by the end of May.
As of Tuesday, 2,000 tons of wreckage have been removed, Moore said. He also confirmed that 145 vessels have transited through the three temporary channels that have already been opened. Those channels, however, are shallow with depths between 10 and 20 feet, ample for only vessels such as tugboats and barges.
Critical to the opening was the removal of the 560-ton piece of debris, more than the weight of a fully loaded Boeing 747. The piece took two days to prepare and was lifted out of the water around midnight Tuesday. That followed the removal of a 460-ton piece of debris last week.
Survival is a divisive gaming genre. While there are certainly some lukewarm fans, most people either love or hate this gaming experience. The mixed reactions come from the features that define these titles. Huge open worlds, a little direction, lack of a proper goal, logical crafting, hard-to-find resources, and most importantly, the risk that you could lose it all isn't appealing to everyone. Others love the rush it provides, though.
Fortunately for fans of this genre, there's increasing innovation in this style, so now there are hybrid versions that try to take what's best about survival games and graft it onto other game styles. With the variety in this genre, players with Xbox Game Pass have access to some great survival games, including a few of the best.
Updated June 21, 2024, By Ben Jessey: There are plenty of fantastic survival games on Xbox Game Pass, and new ones keep getting added. So, to keep our list of the greatest on the service accurate, we have to update it. In this latest update, we've added a few more to the collection.
In Kona, you play as a private investigator who visits a town in North Quebec, Canada. Once there, you investigate the disappearance of several people. This investigation tasks you with exploring and interacting with things.
This is all fine, except the town you are visiting is really, really cold. As such, the icy weather is a constant threat. This is where the survival element comes in, as you must keep yourself warm enough not to freeze. The other main threat is the occasional pack of wolves you can run into.
The Quarry is not a survival game in the traditional sense. After all, you're not managing your hunger or thirst, nor are you hunting for resources or crafting things. However, the entire game is about survival. You're trying to keep your group of playable camp counselors alive as they face many dangers during one fateful night.
To keep them breathing, you have to make the correct decisions and pass quick time events. If a character dies, you still continue to the end of the story, as the game contains multiple endings, which are determined by who lives to the conclusion.
Maneater isn't an out-and-out survival game; it's also an open-world RPG. In it, you play as a shark in the ocean, which isn't the traditional setup for a survival game. After all, sharks are predators and not often prey. Yet, you are both in this game.
You are a predator to the little fish swimming around and the unarmed humans on land. However, you also occasionally run into bigger and badder creatures, which is when you become prey. The goal of the game is to survive while building yourself up so you're capable of taking on the more deadly monsters that roam the ocean.
In Palworld, the land you're trying to survive in is filled with cute Pokemon-like creatures. At first glance, you may not want to hurt them, but your best chance at survival requires you to at least capture them. After all, when you've got them under your command, you can put them to work, which helps you build up your resources.
This may seem cruel, but you will be thankful for those supplies when rival trainers come to take you out. These people aren't the only threat, as you also have to fend off starvation. The creatures can also help with that by being food if you don't let pesky morality get in your way.
