Any idea of when the already released stuff like Forza Horizon makes it in? I see they just put up Halo Wars 2 however.
In response to the post a few places above tho -- yea I would say the campaign to halo 5 is crap ...
I'm actually going thru all the gears games currently. Thinking of taking all the Fables for a run after that.
It would be nice if Panzer Dragoon Orta made an appearance. Haven't played it since it first came out and didn't give it a fair shake back then.
I never made a thread about PSN NOW being a system seller, but it sure is more of a system seller than Gamepass, because it has more subs and you get a much larger library of titles. You can also argue you don't have to download 100GB of Gears or 178GB of Quantum Break or 100GB of Forza, you can just stream the games (with 5Mbits) which is a much lower internet footprint for a much better library of titles....
Halo multiplayer is no selling point anymore, besides. Halo CE, my favourite Halo btw, was awesome in splitscreen with friends, but it's campaign was the main reason many bought it in the first place....It was an awesome ride, bar some nasty slowdown in the last level, but it had one of the best campaigns on console for a minute......
I mean people hyped super lucky tales.....for goodness..sake...Console movers TM...indeed.

It's just that really, people these days only stick to one or two games for their multiplayer needs for the most part. I've bought a gajillion games this gen, but the only game I play online pretty much regularly is SF5. I'm not much of an FPS player or a shooter fan outside a solid campaign, so I played BF4's campaign, FC4 etc.., still have to play Titanfall 2's campaign etc..., but the truth is, I won't spend a minute with MP (maybe one game), but that is true for millions of folk who buy COD's every-year, BF etc....It's the reason people cried a storm that Titanfall 1 did not have a proper campaign and they wanted better for part 2, they wanted better campaigns for Battlefront's sequel and Destiny. The majority of mp folk have moved to titles like PUBG, Fortnite, Overwatch etc.....No one is watching Halo as a competitor to these titles and COD has been at it just as long and it's numbers online are still amazing, GTA5 online is pretty populated too.
The truth is, no one is going to bat an eyelid that these first party MS efforts are coming to gamepass outside of the current fold. What it's going to do is allow current XBOX owners to stop paying $60.00 at launch for said games (Halo, Forza-SIM, Forza-Horizon and Gears) play these campaigns for $10.00 per month or only pay the months when these launch and allow it to lapse thereafter....
Let's be honest, nobody is going to leave their other console for this suppposed greener grass and console selling juggernaut.....All I'm seeing is intense hype by a few placard wavers, but here's the reality....Was MS really impressed with Halo 5's sales or the number of folk currently playing? No..and yet this is not going to help that......and no, MP is not their saviour either.....I just logged into my live account to track most popular mp titles; Fornite is number one followed by PUBG, then Rainbow Six.....all if not most of these titles do higher numbers on PS4 including other titles on the list like GTA5, COD WW2, NBA 2k, Monster Hunter etc.... and we all know PUBG is on other platforms at playable framerates and it's also coming to PS4 soon...But it isn't about that is it? It's about first parties, that's what has caused this sudden frenzy about the virtues of gamepass in the here and now.....Let's see then, Halo 5 is behind Warframe, yes warframe in the most popular MP game on live at the minute. We've been there before though, we heard a storm about titles like Titanfall, (do you remember the memes?...have you played Titanfall bro......I just cannn''t believe...)....Titanfall was dead before the cock even crowed once that morning. You remember the hype on Killer Instinct? MP dead almost instantly, who's playing this at EVO? Let's not kid ourselves that people are jostling to play these games online. Halo5 and Gears are behind warframe and closer to a 360 title in blackops 2 and Skyrim-SE in multiplayer....These are the firstparty games that's supposed to woo people because of MP?
What about Forza 7, how many are really playing this anymore compared to what's available at the competiton, it's way down on the list, close enough to shadow warrior (yes the first one this gen) and the ill-forgotten MCC, and it's only been 2 months since it's been out.....People keep on hyping these titles like Sea of Thieves as an example, and that game will be forgotten 2 days after it launches with ho-hum reviews, the same with crackdown and fable if they ever see a release date in the first place. So gamepass is sure exciting and certainly a console mover or prospective

i can afford any game or console. But that isn't what gamepass is for. For the price of 2 games i get probably 70 games i have never played plus all the excl. has nothing to do with what i can afford. lol
You're welcome. Enjoy
Well actually, PSNow was somehow interesting as long as only a TV or PS3 was needed to play the games. Now you need a PS4 to stream, which doesn't make sense, as the PS4 could easily play those older and newer titles. And you get all the cons of streaming (changing quality, input lag, if you are temporarily offline nothing works, ...).

My halo claims???? This is public information available on MS's site. I did not create the MP activity list. It's right there for all to see....The truth is Halo is no where close to as popular in MP as it used to be, the same for SP, but that goes without saying.
The games lag if your connection is not stable, but 5Mbits/s is more than enough to use the service and it works. Most people in the US have more than that, so here goes. If you have one internet connection in your home and choose to test PSNOW whilst the kids are downloading torrents, others are netflixing and others are playing PC games online, even Roblox or Minecraft, that's on you, but the service works and works well......
Which is the point I've been making, except the last bit, which is what the last paragraph on my initial post was about. There's no way XBOXNEX-TWO launches with Halo7, Gears 6, Forza 10, Fable 4 and they put all their triple A titles (next gen blow my eyeballs graphics and new IP's) on a new console with gamepass for 10.00 that launch month in 2019/2020. That will take XBOX under quicker than a Ronda Rousey roundhouse.....Business is about making money and this is not it.
70 games you have never played? lots of old shool indies, 360 games and old and grey launch multiplats....What time are you going to get to play all of those old games now? It's the same spiel people gave when MS gave BC with a Rez and AF uplift on XBONEX, as if, that was going to make them play through a 100+ hr Oblivion again at 30fps with dips in 2018, when all potatoe PC's can play this at 4k 60fps. People move on, they want new IP's, they want well done remakes if they're going back, they want their known and established IP's to push the envelope like the swinging mechanics in UC4 and the axe and bow in GOW, new settings (NORSE), top graphical fidelity with good framerates. This is where MS first party have failed, there's not much in a huge graphical fidelity upgrade or world settings minus a filtering and rez boost for the most part in existing franchises.
