Dang. This is the bad thing about gamepass. (and any rental service) I play Tekken 7 on PS5/4. I get my series X and start rampage on the unsuspecting souls thanks to gamepass. Now those days are over because I’m NOT buying it again. I wish it was like a GameFly type of deal. Limit the amount of games you can have downloaded at any one time and as long as you keep the subscription you can keep that game as one of your 5 or 10 game download limit, even if it’s off the list. If you remove it and it’s off the list, you obviously can’t redownload. It would eliminate that whole “damn i gotta rush” feeling I suddenly have when thinking of “yes your highness, Star Wars Jedi, and planet Coaster”. I have too many systems and games to play to be rushed on any of them.
@Jeromeface I buy all my games on all my systems except Xbox. Gamepass is a “why not?” kind of thing considering the cost of gold. It’s not too much more for ultimate so... basically it’s kind of a cheap price of admission for all of Microsoft’s first party games. As far as I know those games WONT leave gamepass. If I’m going to actually BUY a game it’ll be on PS5 / Switch/ or a TRUE Xbox exclusive (not timed & won’t see the light of day on anything else.) Those I’ll buy. Hell, I tried nier on gamepass and bought it on the current PlayStation sale.
Well that doesn't makes sense since all true exclusives are available on GamePass indefinitely. None that were added have been removed, so I'm curious why you'd only buy those games of you have GamePass
Hardly renting when they're on the services for months or over a year. You can beat them, they give you enough warning. I would say it's worth not buying them. You are saving $100s. Some people don't have the kinda money to be spending on every game that sounds interesting. GamePass is just an outlet. No one is waiting for the game they've been wanting to play to show up.. And if it does, it's there for quite a while. Only game here I had any interest in playing is My Friend Pedro, I can probably beat it in a few days. I'm not trying to get the best bang outta my buck here, will just try to have fun.
Yeah but N4G has to overreact everytime a game leaves gamepass in order to try to bring down the service. I don't see the same hype when a huge game is added like Control last month.
Xbox and ea games will be on there for a long time. Yes third party games can leave when the deal is up, but the games that are leaving later this month are dirt cheap and have been on there a while. Can even get a small discount if you think the game is worth buying, on the off chance this ever happens to me if I like I game and I’m not done. I have no problem giving a little money to the devs.
Their is no bad thing about gamepass its just not, you get to play a large amount of games for a small monthly fee. Tekken 7 has been on gamepass a while now and has been consistently on sale for less than 20 with season pass 1 & 2. If it was a must have on xbox then you should have bought it like you did on ps, if not then just continue playing on ps.
The games that come to gamepass are on their for months and months so if you dont get your feel out of them thats on you. I never feel rushed to play anything on gamepass because i dont just download games to take up hard drive space i actually play them.
I too own every system and have a massive library of games on every platform including vr. To make sure im finishing games i play one sp game on each until i beat it then move on. Multiplayer games i play all the time on everything because its mp.
Such a weak criticism of gamepass. Seem likes you're just complaining for the sake of it. Tekken has been on gamepass forever. You already said you own it on PS so what's the problem? You sound entitled. I was addicted to Ashen when it was on gamepass but when it left I didn't feel cheated is simply bought it at a discount.
Call it what you want but I’m a fighting game player. Why not play as many people as possible? Get on Xbox and it’s a whole new pool. People lean towards different characters so I got to play different matchups, at the same time I’m not willing to purchase the same game again.
@DJ I had no idea. My Xbox one stopped working so I’ve only had ultimate since the series X launch day.
@Thornintheside I had no idea of that either. If games are on for a year then I just got in too late for Tekken, but that makes me feel great about Planet Coaster and stuff. They haven’t been on long so I’ll definitely be done with them within 3 months, let alone a year.
DEATHDELIVERER They are having a last chance sale tight now and the game is$9.99 with the ultimate edition being $19.99, so there is no excuse for you not to get it.
Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass In January 2021 FTL: Faster Than Light (PC) My Friend Pedro (Console, PC) Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet (Console) Tekken 7 (Console)
My Friend Pedro is a decent 2-3 hour playthrough with solid shooting and controls. It's a pretty stupid story but it doesn't take much for a twin-stick to be worth it for "free" that length.
Just finished the Hivebusters Campaign DLC in Gears and it was really good.
Started Doom Eternal as well. It is the best FPS in a while. I can see why it got nominations at the GOTY awards in the first 20 mins of play. Silky smooth engine, realistic environment, and completely addictive FPS gameplay.
