      Just so people know, there seems to be issues with getting it to run on rg351 series. Native Android devices are still the way to go.

      Lawn Mower Simulator. Watch the kids play it while you sit back with a beer or three and yell at them for missing a spot!

        Good for teaching your young children before you get them on the tools (like mowing) at an early age (5?) so they are paying back their massive debt to you.

        Or they just play Among Us for free Dec 14 and yard goes to shit.

          I was playing it on PC split-screen the other day, it was hidden in the options a bit to get the second player joined but it worked well after that

    One of my fave games, good one 👍

    But this doesn't make sense (IMO) as an XGP game.

    HLTB says that the main story takes ~50hrs, and completionist is ~150hrs. I think I put in almost 150hrs.

    The price of XGP in in the form of time, $16/mo (sometimes less with deals) for the choice in renting their library for a month.

    Everyone has different commitments and available time to allocate to gaming, but I'd venture to say most (?) are probably putting in less than 150hrs per month, maybe less than 50hrs.

    That puts the cost of SV on XGP at probably more than $16 . ITAD has it at $17 RRP, and often ~$10 or less, to own (not limited by time) rather than rent.

    As much as I love XGP, it doesn't make sense economically for me. I dip in once or twice a year when there's a deal (such as the great $1 for 3mo atm) and there are short-medium length exclusives or acclaimed new releases that I can safely finish in the span of one sub, like, say, Halo Infinite, It Takes Two, Psychonauts 2…

    • keejoonc on 02/12/2021 - 09:46

      Your logic makes zero sense. You don't get GP just to play one game. GP simply gives a lot of choice for people to play different types of games whenever they want.

      • muwu on 02/12/2021 - 09:55

        So generally not for completionists?

        If you will utilize the library, playing multiple games each month (maybe the main story for some, others just a dip in) makes sense?

        If you complete one game at at time, makes less sense?

        • keejoonc on 02/12/2021 - 11:04
          +1

          Completionists generally spend a ton of their time playing games so they will get through games like this faster than someone like me who only spends a few hours at most per week. It makes sense either way.

        • putshan on 02/12/2021 - 11:35

          I play one game at a time and have found it to be very valuable given I paid about $100 for 16 months, a few games I've done absolutely everything in, others I've just mainlined.

          I've finished 10 games (plus jump into Slay the Spire and Halo).
          So that's about $10 a game so far and I've still got 10 months to run on my Game Pass.
          That's playing a mix of short games (Donut County, Forgotten City) and long games (DQXI, Yakuza), I'd average around 5-10hrs a week of gaming which isn't extreme, yet there's still plenty of value for those who want to just play a game at a time.

        • ONEMariachi on 02/12/2021 - 16:39

          At $16.95/month (though most ozbargainers are not spending that amount). If you spend more than $200/year on games that appear on gamepass, you're coming out on top. If you spend less than that, then it isn't a good idea for you.

            @ONEMariachi: It's $15.95 btw and that is for the highest tier you can actually just get the base tier for Xbox or PC for $10.95.

    • Justin9mm on 02/12/2021 - 10:06

      I have a love hate relationship with GP. Sometimes it's worth the monthly subscription and sometimes it's not. It's good that it's month to month.. Life gets in the way or you don't care for what's on offer at the time, don't renew.

      • Ostrk on 02/12/2021 - 15:43

        I imagine it's much better value on Xbox since you need live gold anyway but I am very disappointed with game pass on PC so far. The Xbox app on Windows is absolutely terrible so installing some games has been a pain in the ass. All the game files are locked so I can't mod the games to fix issues like bugs, controls or add simple QoL improvements (big problem with games that have terrible PC ports) and lastly the lineup is just weak. I only play single player games but I was really expecting better.
        I used a VPN method to get game pass cheap so I don't feel too ripped off, but paying full price for it is absurd. I really don't know how people find the value on PC unless they literally force themselves to play games they aren't interested in just to make it seem worthwhile. The hassle of cancelling and resubbing to game pass is just not worth it for the few games that you will want to play and buying those games from a reputable key reseller from ITAD will probably save you money overall and you can mod them and keep them.

          They have come out and said they're revamping the installing system so you can access your files and mod them, it's currently in testing right now.

          I'm surprised you consider the PC game selection weak.. I only play single player games and I've currently got 27 games installed. My problem isn't the selection, it's having the time to play them all! And that doesn't include games that I've completed and uninstalled or have dropped off the service.
          Some of the games are decent quality games:
          Wasteland 3
          The Outer Worlds
          Desperados 3
          Octopath Traveler
          Forza Horizon 5
          Crusader Kings 3
          although I actually prefer a lot of the small indie games.

      Your statement would make sense if SV was the only game on gamepass.

      However if you divide the amount of available games on gamepass by the monthly sub, the "cost" of SV is less than 15 cents.

      • muwu on 02/12/2021 - 10:33

        Do you consider what you get out of each game?

        Since you're paying for time (renting), you might consider it in the same form.

        If you have 50hrs of gaming per month, and you play each game in the library equally… let's say there are 100 games (approx.), that's half an hour for your 15 cents. That's not bad.

        Same if you decide you love SV once you start playing, and end up doing the main story (50hrs) but decide completionist (150hrs) is too much, again you've paid the same amount for the same time.

        I'd rather own the medium-long games than try using XGP to play it on the cheap, as the added flexibility of ownership is a very useful asset, and it will work out more economically most the time .

        If you want to dip into many games each month, and there's enough new offered by MS on a month-by-month basis, then that's were XBP becomes unbeatable value.

        It's similar to any other sub (e.g. Netflix), until you break it down into a function of time, you can't understand what value you derive from it. It's why most people end up with multiple ongoing subs at recurring monthly costs but don't utilize too much content from each. Which is why this model is profitable.

        Maybe you don't care about that, since you just want the convenience of knowing you've got that sub active and can tune in at any time. But I think the true bargainer goes one sub at a time…

          Well value is always in the eye of the individual. But the value of SV in the gamepass model is vastly different from you subscribing to gamepass for the sole purpose of playing SV.

            @anzacpaul: I think that's what @miracle is getting at. But instead of telling us Game Pass is probably not worth it if you're purely planning to pump a lot of hours into the game he wrote a post that took us the same amount of time to read that it would complete the game.

    Does anybody know if it's possible to have gamepass sub and download Halo Infinite through Steam rather than the garbage Xbox PC app?

      Different store. Won't work.
