Man, you are way out of line with number 1. It made me skip the rest.

Those games start with fun and try very hard to remove frustration, not lean into it like any Souls or Soulslike.

Connect to the Internet, download the games you want and then go into settings and take your console offline.

The initial setup requires some settings tweaks but after that it’s smooth sailing.

Also, VW can suck a fat one.

You can play GamePass Ultimate games offline, though.

No, I’m serious. I’m not arguing with you, I promise.
