Pass.
Game
Pass.
This turned into a Bond-esque naming of Game Pass
SUPER
gamepass ultimate isn’t worth the value for me. realistically there is only maybe 3 games a year I really must have wanted to play, and most of them I know will go on sale later on down the road. Paying 240$ a year for a program that I only really am going to play maybe a handful of must play games on isn’t worth it.
The issue isn’t the selection of games on the platform, they have a ton. It is just cost wise, why pay 240$ a year for it, and get a handful of games I can only play while they sub is active, when most games I play are in the 20-40$ range anyway and if I just buy them it’s a once off can play forever purchase. I can’t even give them the argument of convenience, because it’s equal to 4 AAA titles yearly, that you need to keep paying for in order to continue to use.
I share my console with my son and at the moment it makes sense for the two of us.
If we split onto seperate consoles as he gets older I don’t see myself paying for two subscriptions.
yea I think if I shared a sub cost with someone it would be worth it, it’s the only reason i still have prime. I personally think that $120 for service rendered is a little low, but I believe that $240 is just too steep for a single person. For the benefits given, I think easily $5 a month for online, then like $7 or $8 a month for the games would be more then reasonable instead of the current $20 a month. I think 150-160 a year is more than fair for service rendered, but currently its roughly $15 a month for just the games(assuming the previous price of 60/year for only online which ends up being $5 a month), that’s almost a full indy game title monthly. Unless I’m actively playing more then 10 Indy games a year, or more than 4 AAA titles, it’s just not worth having for the current price. It’s usually cheaper to just buy the game outright
that being said, if PC game pass is what MS considers it’s Ultimate without online sub… they consider just the game portion as $12 a month, which for what is offered, I find too steep for my tastes for someone who would want to lock on for a year at a time.
It was worth it when you had the surprise hits coming in. Things like, a rhythm-based combat game about a corrupt corporation.
Microshit really gutted once beloved brand.
It aint about what the gamer wants or needs, it is about whatever this shite is
Game Pass is cool and all, but the rebrands and weird omissions make it a bit of a shambles.
I still have an Xbox One, but I’ve got a chonky internet connection (at least for my area) and Cloud Gaming is a fantastic bit of kit. I was tempted to buy a cheap one-month Game Pass code and play this Black Ops 6 campaign and another game or two… but this isn’t on the Cloud Gaming service.
It’s shit like this that makes the high seas a far more attractive option. I know not every game is Cloud Gaming enabled, but one would expect that certainly all the Game Pass titles would be included.
Oh well, I just won’t play it I suppose, I’m sure I’ll find something else to do with those five or six hours!
