    well i think need to buy the expensive dlc thats almost never in discount from maneater. going to start serious sam on pc and xbox
    RIP. It was 50% off in March and April (see proof below, I fucking love that website for seeing historical price data). Luckily I bought the DLC then, because I suspected it would leave Game Pass soon and here we are. Thanks to TA for the monthly "what might leave GP soon" articles!

    I knew Maneater was going to likely leave. I need to knock out the DLC. Hopefully it's not too challenging since I completely forgot the game mechanics at this point.
    The DLC combat is way harder UNLESS you fully embrace the new Atomic shark upgrades. If you try to hang onto your old upgrades, you're going to have a bad time. But with the new set and play style, it's easy. Just constantly recharge your special Atomic move.

    Yeah, have to repeat everyone else to be honest and say how much fun Maneater was
    I have to politely disagree, they are all better off neither seen nor heard

    Ufff! Good games are leaving!

    Finished Bridge Constructor Portal, Serious Sam 4 (both) and Maneater, don't really care about the rest.

    I guess I’ll be played Bridge Constructor and Chorus between now and mid June.

    I’m kind of salty about BC. It’s been in GP forever and it finally gets removed when I decided to start it.
    There are a couple guides posted in the forums for Bridge Constructor that show the finished result of each level for levels 1-60. I'm using it now and it's a cake walk (NOTE: So far). I'd suggest using that for the base game, I'm not sure about the DLC.

    Somehow I missed that TW:3K was on Game Pass, ouch. Chorus is good fun especially once you get a handle on the advanced controls, though it could have done with more big fleet battles.

    I finally beat and completed ManEater just this last month, man it was fun, easy and fun like a Lego game except of smashing and collecting studs, you collect landmarks, license plates and you just eat all the things and smash all the things, evolve all the things and makes your lizard brain very happy.

    Thanks, bud.

    I just finished the DLC, and some of the later levels were incredibly challenging - but phenomenal. I used a guide from Steam for the most part, but YouTube videos for a couple. I looked at YouTube vids for levels 28 and 30. It got very tricky towards the end of the DLC.

    I’ll take a look at the forums to check out the base game levels. I’m partway into it.

    Dang, serious Sam 4 was on my wishlist. Well, better try it out rather than regret not trying it
    Say NO to overpriced DLC, Season Pass and definitely NO to microtransactions.

    I haven't finished this one, but I did finish the original game. Although, it is easy to find what the ultimate solution is using screenshots, it still took a ton of time to make it through all the stages due to the elaborate builds sometimes required and the number of levels. It takes a huge time investment that I can't afford to make right now.

    Some of the final builds are quite elaborate, and require a lot of tinkering to perfect. It can also be hard to see where your build is going wrong.

    Fortunately, if you take note of the “basics” of what the build it trying to accomplish, you can make your build differently/simpler.

    Some of the screenshots of builds are much more detailed than they need to be. All you really need to worry about is getting the right angles with the “solid bridges” and ensuring that your bridge is stable and strong enough to support the weight of a few cars.

    Anyway, until I figured out how to build properly, I spent much more time ensuring that my build matched the screenshot, but it does have to.

    Fun fact, the last stage (30) in the DLC can be built much easier with only portals. No bridges are even necessary. Doing it with only portals is also more entertaining.

    Time flies, it's already been a year since they added Chorus.
    Another game that leaves before I felt like playing it.
    If that isn't the truth, I don't know what is

    Best part of Maneater was the VA of Jerry doing the narration.

    Wanted to like Mortal Shell, but meh, Souls games just don't hit like they used to anymore.

    First time I've seen this posted ahead of time. Is it that hard for Microsoft to say what's leaving a little ahead of time so we can have as much of a head's up as possible? I'm always playing these gamepass games that are leaving soon...
