At some point, it will only be worth it, if you either finish games at an alarming rate, or play so many different games, that buying them separately would make no sense
I think if you’re playing 1 new release game every month or two, you’re getting the value. I’m enjoying Avowed and Doom the Dark ages recently, but I’m very glad I didn’t pay for Doom.
Xbox has kind of been on a roll lately with the games they’ve added.
Indeed. I think the last 6 months have been great value for PC game pass. Of course it goes against the OP/thread sentiment that Xbox is ripping everyone off.
I buy on steam/key resellers at heavy discount most of the time, but game pass allows me to play new release games that are in the “looks interesting, but I’m not dropping full price to try this out” category of games.
But right now it is 20 bucks a month. Even at 30, that is “worth it” if you play two or three newly released games a year and random library games beyond that.
The issue is if people have multiple consoles or are in the PC space and also have access to steam sales and bundles and the like.
Oof. On the one hand, I’ve found games that I wouldn’t have bought that I really enjoyed. Like Avowed. I loved every second of it. Hi-fi Rush was like this for me too. I’ve barely heard any talk of both of these games.
Plus tons of Indy titles I’d never heard of. Can’t tell you how much time I spent in Power Wash Simulator
On the other hand…I hate buying games. It’s a big commitment when you don’t know if you’re going to like it. Most the time I end up not even playing half the game. So I end up going full PatientGamer, and wait for a good sale. (Still want to try Luigi’s Mansion some day…)
And, I go months without playing my Xbox as it is. Right now I’m finding myself getting back into WoW (I haven’t really played since wotlk …it’s a whole different game now). Why should I keep game pass?
GamePass is an awesome plan for people like me – casual gamers who don’t get a lot of replay value out of most games. Honestly I’d love to see similar or competing services.
What a shitshow it was from Sony. But I’m glad the games are back, especially The Last of Us 2. The second season of the show was underwhelming, but the game sits an 90% of positive reviews.
Not might be. Will be. They could charge $50 a month and get away with it. That’s what the Nintendo fanbase has proven. For me. Ultimate is worth $25 a month. Once it goes over that I’m out. I’ll stick to ps plus on its own.
