Short Hike is sweet. Limbo a classic and Everspace 2 is good.

Exactly, it's actually depressing to read that a good space game is finally coming to consoles (Because obviously there is so many already..) and most shit all over it..Why are some of you acting like Everspace 2 isn’t a good get?
EVERSPACE 2
EVERSPACE™ 2 is a fast-paced single-player spaceship shooter with deep exploration in space and on planets, tons of loot, RPG elements, mining, and crafting. Experience a thoughtful story, set in a vivid, handcrafted open world full of secrets, puzzles, and perils.www.metacritic.com
Ridonculous.

If you miss out on Everspace 2 it’s your fault, game is fantastic. It’s probably even better than Diablo 4 all things considered.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I think this is just in time for the games final update on the 8th of this month.

You have poor taste if you think those equate to Bargain bin games.

Ok so Broforce is one of my favorites of all time, so consider me enthused for this offering, but it's still impossible to deny that Gamepass's catalogue quality is taking a major dive as of late. Hope it's not a sign of how it's going to be from now on, as I might just cancel it after my three years is up if it keeps dipping.

They promoted the guy who used to select Games With Gold to now select Game Pass games, didn't they?

Interesting concept but poorly executed worth a try if you have a sub anyway

Wasn't Limbo 'Games With Gold' years ago?

A Short Hike is a brilliant little game. Everyone should give it a go.
Way to ignore what I said. Everspace was already on gamepass too, that the whole point. So we agree.
Ps. I liked one meme that sums this month up - you even agreed its pretty bad. Not sure why you even called that out.

You were clearly upset, calling people mongs because they called the games shite was pretty evident.

I think it is great for people who don't buy games at all, but for me personally this would be a bummer as I usually buy games like this - I just checked PS plus stuff that has come out during the last few months and all the big games I already had, some I have played on GP before and then maybe one or two games a month that would have interested me. The majority of games that come out on GP are new to me.In the same month the PS5 gets the Alan Wake Remast...

Have you at tried any of them, or do you only care about the big games? From my experience, I’ve enjoyed trying more of the smaller games than the bigger ones.

But then “people” will still complain the week after that no good games are on the service.

Did Games with Gold get dropped for GamePass or vice-versa?

I try and lose interest. For example, I remember playing Inside and I think I got almost to the end, enjoyed the experience but got stuck and never bothered to finish it. I like smaller games, for example I played Nobody saves the world on game pass and enjoyed it a lot. I played Vampires Survivor and enjoyed it a lot. It's not that I'm looking for AAA games only, but game pass offering should have AAAs, AAs and indies so everyone gets their share and can try what they want. This way I feel I'm forced to try games just to get something out of my subscription and in my opinion that shouldn't be the case.
Also, my feelings could be duo to Microsoft setting the wrong expectation of game pass from the beginning. At the beginning it was marketed as a service to save money and enjoy plenty of games for a low monthly price and the games we got were like that. Big games with indies sprinkled on top of it. Now the focus is on something else while my expectation remained the same as before. It's just like Netflix and it's evolution over time.

Its more the fact that Alan Wake, once an Xbox exclusive, is now releasing on the PlayStation subscription service during a month where Gamepass releases shovelware… Microsoft short on cash to get Alan Wake Remaster on Gamepass?

Gamepass was good - but I can't help but feel that it is a part of the streaming bubble that is slowly bursting. The content just isn't there to justify the price, unless you own no games.
I went through the Gamepass list last night. There's around 8 games that I don't currently own that interest me. 8. I worked out, it would cost me around $265AUD to buy them. A year's Gamepass works out at around $247AUD here.
The value proposition just isn't there. And, as with Netflix, I think that a lot of the business model is based on people simply forgetting to turn the service off.
This month's Gamepass additions are indicative of that. There's nothing there that suggests to me that I should maintain a game rental service, and I should pay Microsoft for the privilege of not owning my own software, with the trade-off being a 'massive catalogue'. They seem incapable of adding value to the service - for me - and I suspect for quite a few others, too.
Yeah, I know - Starfield. It'll be better on Steam, anyway.

It's not your typical, press A to climb, press B to "solve" telegraphed puzzle 3rd person cinematic, story-heavy, barely interactive piece of shit movie pretending to be a game. So people don't care.

I was gonna say what kind of ass backward analogy you're making here, but then I glanced at your post history. Nevermind.

To be frank, I forgot 360 version was an exclusive, but anyway, the vibe I get is that Remedy has a better relationship with Sony these days.

It's not just PlayStation. Guardian of The Galaxy, Plague Tale, Hellblade. Games like this. I can't stand that crap.

Everspace 2 is fantastic.

In for Everspace 2.
On that front, I guess you could argue that Gamepass is a cheaper way to play that game.
However, Gamepass has felt less interesting recently. I guess once MS start cranking out the first party games, it'll make sense. Currently though, not so much.
Just goes to show that Starfield coming soon can't sustain everything forever.

I too once remember the time when a highly touted Playstation 1st party game called The Show released Day 1 on GP for the first time right alongside the full-priced PS5 version. ;-) And every year thereafter, they just keep popping up.
Anyway, you think a $50 game on steam with thousands of very positive reviews that released in early access three months ago on PC, is $50 on Playstation ($40 w/ PS+) when it releases on 8/15, and Day 1 on Gamepass is... shovelware?

Gamepass has been garbage this entire year. Filled with old ass games or indies.I too once remember the time when a highly touted Playstation 1st party game called The Show released Day 1 on GP for the first time right alongside the full-priced PS5 version. ;-) And every year thereafter, they just keep popping up.

Redfall came to it at least.
Starfield and redfall for an entire 12 months doesn't change how dire it has been.
Darktide too I guess.
