How about maybe just 2 more really terrible games so we can all have one last laugh at how bad the free monthly games are...... you know....... just for old times sakes
Looking at this list only highlights just how bad game pass has been recently.
I appreciate everyone will have different gaming tastes, but the only game on there that I have a remote passing interest in is Need for Speed, and even that is only there courtesy of EA Play.
Never thought I'd say it but Sony's PS Extra is absolutely killing it at the moment
I'm in a similar situation. Had it on PS3, bought it again on PS4. I did end up selling my PS4 copy but then a few years later I bought it again digitally as it was on sale for next to nothing.
I point blank refuse to buy the remastered version for my Series X or PS5 though.
I guess people like us buying it multiple times are part of the problem but I'm genuinely baffled as to why so many people are still buying it now almost 10 years later
I have absolutely zero interest in playing just Dance on any console past or present but I do think it's great News that developers are starting to phase out last gen releases.
This is something that should have started to happen about 18 months ago
Games with Gold has been dreadful for far too long
I haven't upgraded to PS plus premium yet. I just have PS plus essential. There are only so many hours in the day so I'll probably give it a try when my game pass expires at the end of September as I don't have the time to play both
I guess if we're splitting hairs I'd still put you down as a number 2.
Saying people can't afford one was perhaps a bit harsh so perhaps my number 2 should have said "thought it was a bit too expensive/ couldn't justify the price"
I was in the same situation as yourself. I initially bought a Series S to compliment my PS5 and only ever used it for Game Pass.
The storage situation did quickly become an issue though so I sold it for £10 less than I paid for it and used to proceeds towards a Series X
Absolutely Never. My TV has everyone of those apps already built in so having to turn the Xbox on first to access it is only taking up more of my precious time.
Come to think of it they're also built into my Sky Q box as well so would never even think of using the Xbox for it
Yeah it did quickly become an issue. It was a toss up between either ordering an external hard drive or selling it and using the funds towards a Series X

Re: Opinion: Wreckfest 2's Xbox Release Seems To Be Ages Away, But That Might Be For The Best
If I remember correctly I believe I had the original on PS4, when it launched it was a buggy broken mess.
Still great fun to play but it was in a terrible state when it first released.
Thankfully the Xbox Series X and PS5 versions seem to run perfectly.
Hopefully they will have learned from previous mistakes with this 2nd game
Re: PlayStation Plus Joins Xbox Game Pass In Raising Subscription Prices
@FraserG
Thank you for the info and explanation, makes it easier to understand 😃
Re: PlayStation Plus Joins Xbox Game Pass In Raising Subscription Prices
Seeing as this is a UK based website why do you insist on quoting the prices in Dollars rather than pounds?
Or if you really must, at least quote both along with Euros

Re: Microsoft Announces Price Increases For Xbox Series X And Xbox Game Pass
I get my Game pass "Free" with my EE mobile phone contract so not sure if / how that would effect me.

Re: Poll: How High Are Your Expectations For Sunday's Xbox Showcase?
Kind of already disappointed as for some strange reason in my head the showcase was today.
Obviously my mistake haha
Re: Poll: How Many Of 2023's Xbox Games With Gold Have You Played So Far?
Not just 2023 but I honestly can't remember the last time I even bothered to claim one, let alone download and actually play it.
PS Plus essential by comparison is trashing all over GWG in every way possible

Re: Xbox Games With Gold For November 2022 Announced
Every month I think to myself surely they can't be as bad as last month...... But then somehow they manage to do it.
Can't wait for next month

....... Nope

Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series S Owners, Are You Happy You Skipped Series X?
I think skipped is the wrong word. Very few people would have skipped the Series X
Not everyone obviously but I'll be willing to bet the majority of people who bought a Series S will have done it for 1 of 2 reasons
1. Availability
2. They couldn't afford a series X
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Use Your Xbox To Watch TV In 2022?
Absolutely Never. My TV has everyone of those apps already built in so having to turn the Xbox on first to access it is only taking up more of my precious time.

Whatever they offer it can't possibly be as bad as July's offerings..... Can it????? ....,...........
Re: Turtle Beach Reveals New 'Affordable' React-R Xbox Controller
Not a bad back up purely as a 2nd controller for a friend I suppose.
Personally I've gotten so used to Wireless controllers now that it was be hard to go back
Re: Talking Point: Did The Series X|S Bring You Back To Xbox? If So, How Come?
I bought a PS5 at launch and about 6 months later I was sucked into getting a Series S to compliment the PS5 & my Switch.
Main reason for being tempted by the Series S was the relatively low price point and of course game pass. I never did actually "buy" a game for it.
Only draw back with it is lack of storage space which made me upgrade to a Series X
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Series S Owners, How's Your Storage Looking In 2022?
Yeah it did quickly become an issue. It was a toss up between either ordering an external hard drive or selling it and using the funds towards a Series X
I opted for the latter
Re: Xbox Series X|S UK Sales Have Surpassed The Nintendo GameCube
I'm responsible for 2 of those sales. Had a series S originally to compliment my PS5 and Switch and recently upgraded to a Series X
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With January 2022's Xbox Games With Gold?
To be honest they're an insult.
I won't complain thought as Game pass is fantastic and the games with gold are simply an added bonus (albeit not very good of late)

Re: Talking Point: Should Xbox Create A Dedicated Handheld Device?
@notleks_
Works both ways, there would be plenty of people who buy a Switch for that very reason so it's not like Nintendo wouldn't get anything out of the deal
Re: Talking Point: Should Xbox Create A Dedicated Handheld Device?
Just put game pass on Switch , problem solved

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Has Sold 145 Million Copies Since Its Launch
I've actually bought it 3 times, once on PS3 and twice on PS4 (after selling my first copy)
I have no intention of buying it a 4th time
Re: Talking Point: Looking Back, What's Your First Memory Of The Original Xbox?
Have to be honest I didn't dabble at all with the original Xbox, I was very much a playstation person back then. Xbox 360 was my first experience.
I'm lucky enough to own all 3 current gen consoles from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo and I love all 3 equally in different ways
Re: Microsoft Is Now Offering 3 Months Of Xbox Game Pass For Just $1
As someone who signed up for £1 for the first month about 10 days ago that is frustrating.
It is what it is though, just unfortunate timing
