| goopy20 said: GP is great value if you look at the sheer number of games you can play for $1, compared to buying one $60 at retail. No one is arguing those numbers here. |
Most people don't pay $1. That is a promo entry fee for new subscribers. And it's typical for services like these when they start up. But why would you have to pay $60 at retail for a GamePass game? You just said it's A/AA games and duds.
| goopy20 said: What I'm saying is focusing only on GP at the expense of selling a next gen console isn't consumer friendly at all. In fact its anti-early adopters friendly for those who are excited about Series X and are willing to splash out $600 to play next gen games. |
Like plenty of people here have told you for months, you're going to take any and every strategy Microsoft uses and shit on it. Absolutely no one is surprised to see you say that GamePass is not consumer friendly and is even "anti early adopter".
For starters, what a stupid comment, anti early adopter. The act of being an early adopter itself is an action you take knowing full well you're going to get the short end of the stick. A vast majority of people who buy PS5 and XSX will do so with better, cheaper hardware and a better game selection than early adopters. Lastly, did you miss the event? Everything they showed was coming day one to GamePass IIRC, but more importantly, most of it was skipping Xbox One. Isn't this what you said you have been so angry about? And yet you still seem at odds with them. Strange.
| goopy20 said: Like I've been raving on about for the last months, Xbox One isn't the only thing that'll hold Series X back. All Series X games also have to run on the average gaming pc, and assuming its real, the 4Tflops Lockhart. |
And we've been correcting you for months and showing how little you know about PC hardware, etc.
| goopy20 said: I honestly expected that I had to upgrade my pc for next gen but even the MS games, that are skipping current gen, will run fine on my modest GTX1060. On one hand its great that I don't have to upgrade, but its also why everything they showed looks so underwhelming. |
Why would you need to upgrade right away? That's a solid card, depending on which one you have. With a large amount of RAM you'd be fine playing either consoles games.
| goopy20 said: Hell, I am already playing Ori in 1440p and 120fps right now. |
| goopy20 said: So yeah, MS is seriously lacking that next gen thrill that typically comes at the start of a new console generation. |
If you feel that way about MS then you surely feel that way about Sony, who is launching with a Spider-Man expansion.
| goopy20 said: Now, why would MS focus on A or AA games? Because its working for them. Look at the list of most popular games on GP and this is what you'll see.
|
What alternate universe are you pulling this list from, lol.
| goopy20 said: AA or A games doesn't mean it has to suck, though. I love Ori, Gears Tactics and am looking forward to playing Grounded. But would I have bought them at full retail price, and are those really the kind of games that will push console sales? Of course not. They are low risk, high output games that are perfect for keeping people subscribed to GP. |
Again you come back with the "well this doesn't mean it has to suck" after you've typed a hundred words shitting on it, lol.
| goopy20 said: Does that mean we won't see any AAA games from ms at all? Honestly, its hard to say when they literally haven't showed us anything. Fable and Avowed could be amazing single player games. But if MS had to choose between a one-time AAA single player experience, or turning them into MMO's that can potentially keep people engaged to GP for months, what do you think they'd pick? |
They showed us plenty during the last event. We saw the announcements of more than a few AAA games and if you keep up with what is going on with the devs, you know more is coming.
| goopy20 said: They've already turned the Halo franchise into a GAAS and said that there won't be a new Halo coming... EVER... |
They said there will be no numbered sequels and Infinite will act as a platform.
This is the part where you dig deep for some goopster logic to spin how ten years of support for a game is somehow a bad thing and a negative. We'll be holding our breath in anticipation.
Also you say GAAS as if it's a bad thing. Even Sony has plenty of GAAS experiences this gen and will next gen as well. Too many people are ignorant when it comes to GAAS. There are some bad apples but if done correctly, it's a great way to experience a game and very good for consumers.
