| goopy20 said: Like I been saying for months. GP is great and offers amazing value, but there are some major drawbacks when it comes at the expense of supporting and selling their next gen console. For the second time we've now seen that it'll be hard to really take full advantage of the Series X hardware. But more importantly, GP probably wouldn't work with high budget AAA games that typically take 3 to 5 years to make. The GP business model strives on A/AA titles and a quantity over quality approach. Games that bombed, both in critical acclaim and at at retail, are now valuable GP filler for MS and they need a lot of them to keep people subscribed. |
lol what in the actual f are you even saying here? So GamePass is "great" and offers "amazing value"... and yet it only works for A/AA games that "bomb critically and at retail" and thrives in a "quantity over quality" model. Awesome, man. Those arguments don't contradict each other at all. It totally makes sense to open an argument praising something and then spend the rest of the argument shitting on it.
I know I am going to get a goopalicious answer that is full of poorly thought out logic, but how exactly is Microsoft going to keep people subscribed to a service by constantly throwing junk on it? Your opinion here isn't unique, it's a generic opinion by some on Chartz yet none of you can ever answer that question. Microsoft is going HAM on GamePass, and yet they're going to just poop out content to keep the quantity high. Sounds logical. Gamers won't care I guess if all the software sucks, they'll just care that there is software. Makes sense.
Here are some of the games I have played thanks to GamePass:
Halo CE (97)
Halo 2 (95)
Halo 3 (94)
Halo Reach (91)
ODST (83)
Halo 4 (87)
Halo Wars (82)
Halo Wars 2 (79)
KOTOR (94)
Gears 4 (84)
Gears (94)
Gears 2 (94)
Gears 3 (91)
Dead Cells (91)
Slay the Spire (89)
ROTTR (86)
Vermintide 2 (83)
MGS V (95)
Horizon 4 (92)
Mutant Year Zero (80)
Bloodstained (84)
DMC5 (87)
Outer Worlds (85)
Outer Wilds (85)
Plague Tale (83)
Doom (87)
Prey (84)
Sniper Elite 4 (81)
Children of Morta (80)
Yakuza 0 (90)
Ori 2 (90)
Two Point Hospital (84)
SOR4 (82)
Gears Tactics (81)
Gears 5 (84)
Neon Abyss (85)
And the list would be like 3-4 times as long if I included everything in the 70's meta and on PC with no achievements. Not to mention great games like Hellblade (88), Nier Automata (90), GTAV (97), RDR2 (97) among many others that are on GamePass but I already owned. Where is all of this quantity over quality? Why are there so many AAA titles here on a service you claim can only sustain A/AA games? Why are there so many 80+ meta score games and good selling titles when you claim GamePass caters to games that are critical and financial duds?
And the AAA content is only going to increase now that Microsoft has 15 studios pumping out games for it, many of which have been hiring and expanding now to prepare for bigger games. Why have all these studios been adding talent and moving into bigger buildings gooper, if they're just going to poop out GamePass filler?
Have you ever even looked at a list of GamePass games?
