Is Deathloop On Xbox Worth The Wait?

Deathloop has belatedly arrived on Xbox Series X & S after a period of console exclusivity, but do you need to rush to play it on Game Pass?

[Stanjara]

No.

[Snakeeater25]

Well it’s free so …
The game is not fun but for free it’s worth to try a day

[KillBill]

Typical... game is raved on when it arrives on PS5. As soon as it is no longer exclusive all we hear is how it is just ok.

[Army_of_Darkness]

@killbill

That's not true. I'm a ps5 gamer and I thought this game was lame with last gen graphics and ridiculously overhyped when it was exclusive to the ps5/pc... And I still do.

[Snakeeater25]

Killbill form day one I said the game was boring. A game with no story and weak protagonist is not form me even if it’s a ps5 exclusive. Like persona 5 it’s ps5 only and the game was really not for me.

[Anomander]

It is when it's free for Game Pass.

[Elda]

It's not free. It cost $15 a month to play on GP.

[Lightning77]

For ultimate it's 15. Regular is 10$

[Concertoine]

I got the next 2 years booked for $2.50 a month

[Jin_Sakai]

It might not be free but it’s much cheaper than paying $60 to play a single game when it launched on PlayStation last year.

[Seraphim]

@Jin_Sakai - well if one would've waited about a month or two it was only $20-30. idk why but I bought a copy last year, around or after Black Friday for $24.37. Actually been thinking about finally playing it but we'll see. I have about a dozen other games I still need to play and there are a TON of games releasing soon that I'm looking forward to.

Value is always going to be subjective. That is why each and every person needs to decide whether or not a game is worth buying day one, something they can wait for a price drop to buy if the desire is still there or skip altogether for various reasons. Thing is, without consumers buying games the industry wouldn't exist.

[Brazz]

@Jin_Sakai.
You know... There's this ancient forgotten art of, "buy-play-sell".
It's such "complex thing", but believe me, once you learn how to "buy-play-sell" a game you will spend much less than Gamepass or PS+.

[LOGICWINS]

Not when you use Microsoft Rewards points towards your GP sub.

[KillBill]

@Seraphim "Thing is, without consumers buying games the industry wouldn't exist." ~ plenty of opportunity for Game Pass to change the philosophy on that. Devs can make just as much money on reoccurring rental contract options as what they might be used to seeing on simple game purchases. Game Pass has already reported much higher user spending from those in Game Pass than not. As well devs seeing better returns. Will it be successful for all devs? Likely not... but successful enough that the philosophy of buying is the only option is long gone. https://www.techradar.com/n...

[strifeblade]

Actually no I paid 110$ cad for 3 years of gamepass ultimate. And then split with a friend to share gamepass between 2 consoles. So it's actually 55$ for 3 years. So yeah it's not 15$ a month.

[Gunstar75]

It's free at the point of use.

[neutralgamer1992]

It's not free man we are paying for GP and we don't own it

[Sonyslave3]

Watch all those 10/10 becomes 6/10 or 7.

[tay8701]

game definitely doesnt deserve 10s or even 9s for that matter. its not a bad game, just VERY overrated. its a solid 8.

[Elda]

Agreed.

[ChasterMies]

For me, Deathloop was always 7/10. Game was overhyped by gaming press. Keep expectations in check and you won’t be disappointed.

[aftershock]

Absolutely not. One of the most boring overrated games of all time.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

That would be GTA

[neutralgamer1992]

Yes even though I own it on PS5 but just never got around to playing it and I will download it and give it a chance

More gamers will get to play we need to start thinking like gamers instead of corporations PR team

[hiawa23]

Worth it to me on Gamepass U.

[ROCKY28]

Nope !!!

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Great game. Definitely worth the play if you have GamePass. I bought it on PS5 at launch so I’d say yea it’s worth a buy.

[JEECE]

No, you should probably skip it and go back to playing whatever live service game you play every day. Just don't forget to whine the next time a studio you like announces they are making a live service game instead of a single player game.

[Snakeeater25]

Good because death is a big piece of shit.
I prefer any live service game that to play deathloop

[JEECE]

"I prefer any live service game that to play deathloop"

I categorize this piece of information under "things I find not surprising at all."

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I'd say yes since it's the only "current gen only" game that's even worth owning

[HeliosHex]

No.

[GamingSinceForever]

You’d think that the opinions wouldn’t be so negative considering the game is “free” on GamePass.

It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t played it already.

[Petebloodyonion]

Well, technically it's also available on PS+ Premium so there's no reason to at least try the game no matter the platform.
As for Xbox players only well it's a new game for them so yeah it's worth it.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

I didn't like it at all on PC, feels like the movie Groundhog Day.
