    Nice, as someone who regularly buys from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo, GamePass continues to be the best value subscription service in the industry.

        My mates with Xbox: GamePass so amazing so many games
        Me: When did you last play any of them
        My mates: Never, we just scroll through the list and say "how good is this"

        • SirFlibbled on 12/03/2021 - 12:28

          I'm a bit like that but only because I was late to the party and almost anything I wanted to play I owned. But it's still given me a lot of value in the 6 months I've had it, giving me the chance to play Crackdown 3 (regrettably), Doom Eternal, State of Decay 2, Bleeding Edge and Sea of Thieves.

          But going forward, I wont be bothering to buy EA Games or MS published games.

      yes, it isn't even a close call anymore. I would expect that list to bring another large surge of gamers.

        At the sacrifice of owning 3 or 4 physical games per year I would much rather have access to over 100 digital games via subscription, ranging in genre and and audience (kids). The Game Pass Ultimate is the best value subscription services out there for gamers. I have both PS5 and Xbox Series X, I own very few physical copies for the Xbox and tend to focus on owning exclusives for PS5.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2021 - 09:44

          How many games do people play? I'm still on Warzone, have 20+ brand new games sealed still..

          It would be nice, it does sound cheaper too!

        • Commander Shepard on 12/03/2021 - 16:06

          Agreed. Growing up I could get two games a year. 1 for my Birthday and 1 for Christmas.

          If I had the option of just having gamepass. It would been amazing.

          I still don't think people really appreciate the accessibility side of things. Some familys cannot afford to buy a lot of games.

      • mr_me450 on 12/03/2021 - 07:56
        +24

        Owning games and using a subscription service do not need to be mutually exclusive. Just like buying movies or going to the cinema while also having a Netflix subscription, different means of accessing different content benefits both the industry and consumers.

      • Kozhutki on 12/03/2021 - 08:13

        you don't technically own your games if you purchase digitally either. physical is heading that way with verification checks as well.

        • Gravy on 12/03/2021 - 08:55

          verification checks? Do you mean like buying a physical game and then having to register it via steam and hence not be able to sell the physical game again later as the code has been used?

          This doesnt seem to happen with Xbox physical games though, although some that contain codes will be less usable I guess. Are there any physical xbox games that become 100% unusable in the case of resale of the physical media?

      • Timm on 12/03/2021 - 08:22

        You can buy games and subscribe to Gamepass.

          In some ways, its a good time to buy physical copies of games that are released on gamepass as they become a lot cheaper during that time. Eventually they may be removed from gamepass.

            • Gravy on 12/03/2021 - 10:31

              @matt1234: Yeah, have noticed that MS owned games tend to stay on indefinitely. Although will be interesting to see if the Forza series does as some of the the older Forza games get removed from the store and can no longer be purchased digital.

        I own 800 titles on my steam account. Have purchased more games than you've had hot meals and I've owned dozens of systems and PC's over my nearly 4 decades long life of living on this planet.

        As fair as value goes, you can't beat the Game Pass. 10 bucks a month (ish) and you have access to 100's of titles (alot of which I already own). Maybe it's not for you, but I always recommend this to people who might not have that much $ or anyone really as you always have this library of games just waiting there for you to install and try.

        Nice sour pussying though ><D

          Geez, let them have an opinion ffs.

          Why do game pass ultimate subscribers always lose their mothertruckin mind when someone says something even slightly less than positive about it.

          You love renting your games monthly and losing them when you stop paying your subscription… great.

          Newsflash - not EVERYONE does (and that's ok).

                    @Arcticfox: Refer back to my original post and every whinging post you've made since. I casually responded pointing out that even as a gamer who owns hundreds of games, I could see the value in a subscription service. I also commented that perhaps it wasn't for him but it certainly had value to a lot of people that might not be able to afford games. I then made a comment about him being a sour puss because his comment wasn't just him saying "oh i don't like sub services" it was him having a dig at other people for enjoying said game pass (amusingly the point you seem to be ironically defending by saying - let people have their own opinion).

                    Then every post after you lose your collective shit and go off in abusive rants.

                    I'm calling you a kid because you're either extremely young and immature (I wouldn't say dumb because you haven't shown you're dumb…. yet) or you have the mentality of a child. And the only one who seems to be genuinely provoked in this thread is yourself. Maybe go take a deep breath outside and realise that arguing with people on an internet forum isn't the end of the world. Whatever is bothering you so much that makes you so angry and resentful will pass. I wish you nothing but the best in life my good friend.

                    Good luck :)

                      @Ruddaga: Thanks man, I am more than happy to put this particular morning diversion to rest. I have looked over our entire correspondence but am fairly sure that I never 'lost my shit'. The only word that might have conveyed any kind of angst was when I said 'mothertruckin'. I was also unable to see where I abused anyone.. like… at all.

                      Abusive = using rude and offensive words (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/abusive)

                      I am glad that we agree that neither of us is dumb, but it is good to see we can identify when we are both arguing over something that could actually be classified as… stupid.

                      Take care buddy.

          • manbearpig on 12/03/2021 - 11:19

            @Arcticfox: What's stopping you from playing the games you want on Game Pass and buying the games you want to keep for cheap when they're on sale? I hardly see how that's a bad thing…

        • netsurfer on 12/03/2021 - 09:44
          +7

          While I get it is great value for most people (esp. ones with children), when you really look at it, it's not really for everyone.

          • How many of us here actually pay RRP for GamePass or GamePass Ultimate? We either use discounted XBox Live Gold vouchers and take the conversion deal. As such, are we evaluating this correctly?
          • Anyway, let's evaluate this as $6/month (since most OZBers would get it for around that - most likely less), that's still $72 for a year (renting games basically).
          • If we really want to do a fair comparison, a comparison needs to be made based on if someone were to use this money to buy games (and then sell them / trade them in and repeat the process), not buy games and keep forever. People with self control to resist GamePass do not translate to people who just waste money on games.

          It feels like quantity vs quality. Hence, Microsoft bought Bethesda. Sure, so many games in GamePass and it makes sense for XBox One|Series X|S owners to get it (I have it). However, do I truly enjoy it right now? Honestly, not exactly. Most games are ones which would land in my pile of shame and I do occasionally find a small number of games which I like. Part of the problem I have is quite a number of games I like are not in GamePass anymore.

          It's like renting videos. Sure, Microsoft can keep on adding old time classics to it (kinda like the movies you could rent for a week dirt cheap), but we do want play new releases… It's been quite some time since we get one of those…

            @pharkurnell: It's to counter his point on "enjoy not owning games" to show that I both own games and enjoy the streaming service.

            Oh my backlog is shameful. I think I haven't played over 50% of my titles and the ones I have played some have like 20 minutes played time.

            Pissing contest would be me bragging about my 5900x/3090 system, Xbox Series X, Switch and PS5.

                If I want to play them, I have access to them from any device around the world.

                Almost all of the titles can be played off line and don't require steam to be logged into.

                I can uninstall them and reinstall them at my leisure.

                If anything I would say it's more convenient for me to own them digitally, then to have a physical copy which can break/get lost over time.

                But please, enlighten me to the difference of me owning it digitally vs physically oh edge lord of edginess? :D

                Edit - In fact this is the reason I purchase my Nintendo games for my switch online vs physical (imagine getting on a plane with 60 switch cartridges!) I guess I don't own those either? ><D

                  Well explain to me how I don't own them?

                  Well, you can't:

                  • Resell them
                  • Trade them
                  • Share them with friends
                  • Insure them

                  It's the difference between a physical "good" and a digital "service". There's no such thing as a digital good. There is a definition argument to make to say that you have a 'type of ownership', but it is a vastly stripped down and very very poor alternative to ownership of physical goods.

                  When you own a physical game, you own it like you own your TV, furniture, car, fridge, etc. Most of those ownership rights are stripped or non-existent when you buy digital (regardless of form - steam, itch, gog, etc.)

                    @Odin: Hey Odin.

                    As I was going to say to the lovely gentleman previously, with all video games (physical or digital) you don't own the game, you own the license to play the game. I had a good post that addressed this and some of the points you've brought up, but as it's been deleted (and it was quite large) I can't be bothered replying again.

                    • Odin on 12/03/2021 - 14:25

                      @Ruddaga: I know that's always bandied about online, but it's not true for the vast majority of countries (including aus).

                      When you buy physical, you quite literally own your copy of the game in it's entirety. You don't have the license to redistribute, but you very much own your copy in absolute. The same as you own my other examples I mentioned: (TV, furniture, car, fridge, etc.). You don't have the ability to copy your cars design and start selling copied Toyotas, but you 100% own your car and can do anything you want to it. You didn't buy a license from toyota, you bought the car.

                      A simple breakdown of it comes back to the US first sale doctrine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

                          If all you own is a licence for the software, that's all you own, irrespective of the delivery mechanism.

                          Sure, but that's not the case with console games, and never has been.

                          Also, EULA's are legally worthless. It doesn't matter if a EULA says you've only licensed it, it doesn't matter if there's some agreement you need to click yes to before playing. You can't give away your legal rights in such a manner.

                          The only way you give up your legal rights is when you buy digital.

                            if youre going down the path of hacking your hardware/software, youre essentially dabbling in software piracy. at which point all this grandstanding is moot

                            you never own the games, its just a license to use it. physical vs digital is just a delivery mechanism, with console discs giving the illusion of ownership simply because of resaleability.

                              Then you believe that you don't own your car, your appliances, your TV, your phone, your clothes… actually, I can't think of anything you'd actually own under your definition. You'd just have "licensed" all your belongings.

                              Obviously, that's absurd (both legally and in a common sense way).

    As a very casual and patient gamer, I have bought many of these games in the single figures, mostly under 5 bucks, or got them with games with gold. Obviously not some of the more premium titles like skyrim. Not worth paying a subscription service when I have an enormous backlog of unplayed games

      Most people have upgraded to Gamepass via the offer to convert from a Live subscriptions and so it makes it worthwhile - even with a backlog of games.

      Different strokes for different folks.

    • freefall101 on 12/03/2021 - 09:50

      I own about 500 games (according to Playnite), never played most of them. Doesn't change the fact I'd rather play Doom Eternal right now having recently finished the 2016 Doom, rather than Full Mojo Rampage (actual game I own, presumably from a humble bundle).

      • Jackson on 12/03/2021 - 10:23
        +2

        Fair call, there is value in gamepass, I'm not disputing that. Especially if there's certain games you want to play, and you have the time to complete them relatively quickly. The question that I always have is as someone who prefers single player campaigns or couch co-ops/local multiplayers rather than online gaming (I've never really even seen the need for a Gold membership beyond the free titles) do I need to play a certain game or can I play any game? and do the number of certain games outweight the number of games I already have or can buy cheaply. Not sure if anyone else has that dilemma?

        Thanks for the tip with Playnite, I'll have to check that out.

        • freefall101 on 12/03/2021 - 10:36

          Yeah, I endlessly have that dilemma. I keep buying assassins creed games because it scratches a certain itch, but I don't even finish half of them (they become a bit grindy).

          For me I'm mid 30's, no kids, disposable income. So might as well have a stupid number of options and just pick whatever makes me happy in that moment. Gamepass I find good because I can just grab something that looks interesting, even if I only play it for a few hours.

          Playnite is fantastic, but then I hear the GoG launcher is as well (and does a similiar thing). I like Playnite because you can also bring in emulators (which means really I have way more than 500 games to play if I really wanted to).

    • Wonderfool on 12/03/2021 - 10:31

      I've bought majority of this and I still keep game pass around once a while. It's a rental service, it's always useful, either as a discovery service or its time to play gears 5 this month service. Sure, gears 5 had been discounted to super cheap, but that needs me paying attention to when Microsoft store discount it.

    What's the cheapest "game pass"? weekly/monthly?

    With MS/Xbox/PC once downloaded you can still play offline, even though the game pass expires …right?

    Not like the PSN+ which you will always need to have the ongoing fees?

    Can we join for the min amount of time, download the free games/install then don't renew the game pass? Does that work?

    • ReadDeadRedemption on 12/03/2021 - 09:26

  • E4xtream on 12/03/2021 - 11:23

    Quick question to the community. Does this deal now mean that for you, Gamepass is a better value proposition than PlayStation+?

    By 'value', I do not mean 'access to how many games you get vs. Dollar cost'. But rather your own subjective evaluation of what both services offer.

    For me (a PlayStation guy through and through), PS+ still offers a higher quality menu—especially since I've had it for at least 3-4 years—with more games offered on there that I actually want to, and end up playing.

    • Yuri Lowell on 12/03/2021 - 12:01

      They're completely different services. And Microsoft has XBL Gold included in Ultimate, although the games offered on there have been lacklustre of late. If you were a Gold subscriber for 3-4 years you'd have an equally as large library as a PS+ subscriber. In terms of games offered per month, sure FF7Remake is pretty awesome, as was Control Ultimate Edition last month, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the sheer amount of games offered on Game Pass every month. Game Pass Ultimate blows away PS+ and PS Now in both quality and value.

      • E4xtream on 12/03/2021 - 12:08
        +1

        Well PSNow isn't available for us, so I don't count it as part of the conversation. As far as Games with Gold is concerned, I'm pretty sure the consensus has been that it has been trash since Xbox focused on GamesPass, so again, not really a factor to weigh in for me. Gamespass on the other hand has a great selection of games, I wonder which ones stand out the most to the community.

        For me, as a person who hasn't enjoyed most Bethesda games (Dishonored being the exception), the recent Zenimax acquisition leaves me happy for others. Does little for me though.

    • deek on 12/03/2021 - 12:07

      This deal, specifically? No. It hasn't tipped the scale. The only games I'm interested in on the list are Dishonoured 2, Skyrim, and Fallout 4. I already own the first, the last is available free as part of the PS+ collection, and frankly, I can wait until Skyrim drops to $10.

      That said, if I owned an XBox, and had cleared out most of my backlog, then I would likely have subscribed to Gamepass already. It is excellent value.

      Though thanks to years of PS+ subscription, my backlog is rather large. Not that I want to play every game I've added from there, but the ones I do will keep me occupied for many years.

      Which is one of the down sides to Gamepass. Games get removed. The games I've accumulated as part of PS+ stay with me as long as I keep the subscription active, and are reactivated if I reactivate the subscription. Basically, the longer I have PS+, the more valuable it becomes. Long term, it seems the better value.

      • E4xtream on 12/03/2021 - 12:10

        I actually didn't know games got removed from Gamespass, that's an interesting aspect to the conversation. Like you, my PS+ backlog appears to be a better value to me than what I've seen of the gamespass library. That being said, if a brand new gamer was coming into the fold, I'd have to recommend Gamespass over PS+ because they would just have more of the hits to play.

        • deek on 12/03/2021 - 12:13

          Yep, agreed. More hits to play, and a better chance of having games available that suit the player. There's no arguing that Gamepass is phenomenal value for a new player.
