What a stupid excuse for a gamepass thread... Sony had psnow for who knows hiw long before MS even had the idea of such a service.
That certainly isn't true. I bought Spiderman in June last year from Amazon for £30. Days Gone in April for £32. Ghosts of Tsushima is currently £43.50, The Last of Us 2 £34. Never see them for nearly half price within weeks unless it bombs.This is delusion. God of War, Spider man and Death Stranding were all sold for almost half price within weeks of them coming out.
Gamepass can’t devalue Sony exclusives, yet there they are.
As I said that's irrelevant. The demand was still strong whenever that sale you are talking about ended. They sold 10+ / 20+ million copies. I didn't have to beat them within days, I'm not that kind of gamer anyway (besides TLOU2 because I was pissed off at the story lol).I’m not going fishing for the old flyers because I don’t care that much. But they were all half price within less than a month after release.
Because you beat them and sold them within days of release has no bearing on thier actual cost in the long run.
See. The price might go down but the demand is still there when it goes up. It doesn't tank forever.That certainly isn't true. I bought Spiderman in June last year from Amazon for £30. Days Gone in April for £32. Ghosts of Tsushima is currently £43.50, The Last of Us 2 £34. Never see them for nearly half price within weeks unless it bombs.
all the third party games on ps+ are/have been on gamepass lolTbh ps plus on ps5 has a collection that nothing in game pass can touch. From god of war to blood borne to resident evil to fallout to final fantasy and more.
I can confirm that, most third party games have been on gamepass as well, but on PS+ you have them while on gamepass you loose them. FF15 on gamepass is expiring soon while on PS+ I can play it whenever I want to.all the third party games on ps+ are/have been on gamepass lol
That's one of the things I hate about Gamepass. If the game has been there for awhile, don't bother downloading it unless it's by MS because you don't know when it's going to leave. I don't like rushing so that's why I never use it and I buy the game on sale with DLC.I can confirm that, most third party games have been on gamepass as well, but on PS+ you have them while on gamepass you loose them. FF15 on gamepass is expiring soon while on PS+ I can play it whenever I want to.
First party games stay on gamepass, but the MS first party output is, well... negligible as everyone should know by now.
Honestly, it's not a good deal at all.
Not a fan of these subscription models.
Only if they make it like Microsoft.What a stupid excuse for a gamepass thread... Sony had psnow for who knows hiw long before MS even had the idea of such a service.
That is not an argument when you have not released a single notable game in the whole generation... MS does not do a sacrifice by putting games on their service if they won't sell that much to begin with.Only if they make it like Microsoft.
DayOne games of big exclusive
SureThat is not an argument when you have not released a single notable game in the whole generation... MS does not do a sacrifice by putting games on their service if they won't sell that much to begin with.
Also games remain "day and date" only one day, that argument falls flat pretty fast after the release. While we are at it, the most played games on the service are bargain bin titles.
The rhetoric about the "value" and "viability" of this kind of service has been broken since MS released GamePass, you guys are so excited to buy anything Phil says that you can't think straight. Most of the games on the service must be worth like 10 - 20$ if you buy them at this time, few people will play that many games, you may as well buy the one(s) that interest you and play that until you want to move on to something else.
I have kids, the game we play the most at home is Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, we spent months on Overcooking 1 & 2 -- from 2012 on PC @ 4K!! Paying for a service that rotates games in and out like that does me no good. The older kids spend their time on games they play for months (CoD, Fall Guy, Fortnite, sports, whatever). When the kids aren't there I play "adult" games like (recent/semi recent games I played through) TLoU2, God of War, Wipeout, the Uncharted games, Doom 2016, Far Cry 3 & 4, Demon's Soul, FF VIIr).
There are a lot of people for who it's not worth it, add to this that the main target audience for the service is people who buy xboxes... I mean, I see people getting this for day and date Sony or Nintendo exclusives, but for MS games? There are reasons why people buy Sony and Nintendo consoles (especially Nintendo lately). This won't change until MS starts delivering the goods on a regular basis (not one or two notable exclusives, they need to rebuild their name as a publisher).
Sony already does "GamePass" please stop acting like MS invented anything here.And if Sony doesn't care, then they should just go on, and continue to release their big AAA IP at even 80$ for a standard DayOne edition.

Sure, whoever thought of adding power windows to cars invented cars.Until they have day and date first party games and a better overall selection, at your insistence, let's call it lamepass with a kudos to sony for "inventing" gamepass.

You seriously remind me of people I used to know in high school, but hopefully they grew out of calling names.
These services are all more or less lame, we can argue all day about the merits of each services libraries (PSNow has over twice as many games as gamepass, it has many Sony exclusives, PS2 games, a couple of PS3 games can be streamed on it as well).
But I get your point, I'll run out tomorrow and buy myself an xbox, any xbox I can find and get gamepass and play all these magnificent day and date MS exclusives then I'll do like apparently everyone on the service does and use gamepass as a way to play Minecraft.
Eh.. PSNow didn't become a real GamePass competitor until they added downloads, a year+ after GamePass debuted.What a stupid excuse for a gamepass thread... Sony had psnow for who knows hiw long before MS even had the idea of such a service.
At 40 bucks a game (a very generous estimate that assumes you dont y day one ever) that's 20 games for 800 over 7 years.I would rather wait for shovelware to go be given away through PSplus and wait for discounts on games I’m actually interested.
At the end of 7 years, Gamepass bill will run up to what? 800$? I would have to be out of my mind.
