Is it worth owning both x1x and ps5?

[conics]

Yes. And if you haven't played Witcher 3 by now, then I don't know what to tell you. It's been 6 years.

Witcher 3 is an example what about rdr2
No reason why that should be removed

It is most likely because the original contractual agreement has reached a timed clause or end and neither party could agree on a method of renewal.

You could also, you know, buy the game.

I understand it just sucks they put it there and then remove it

And clearly it isn’t fair to new people like me who get the pass later and miss out on getting the game

[JayJ350]

But why get rid old old ones at all?

Probably because they have to make special deals with any publishers they don't own to feature their games on their service, deals that are sure to be limited time. I'm sure they also prioritize getting new games over keeping old ones around. It's simply a service where you have access to a wide variety of games and it changes every month, lots of stuff stays but there is always things coming and going.

This is a problem with literally every subscription based service where you get instant access to tons of content. Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, ect, they all have content that comes and goes. If you really want something specific forever just buy it. Heck even Gold and PS+ games are only good for as long as you are subscribed, if that expires you can't play anything.

It just makes the offering look better when they can constantly say xyz added to gamepass, but never talk about what they are talking away, and they can't afford to keep it all at the price they are charging.

Ya but say the current list is good and they remove good ones and the new list has new games but the games are bad so wouldn’t the old list be better to kept and not changed at all

and that’s also bad because Im buying subscription to game pass right now hoping to play the games on the current list but maybe just a month later they remove some of those games and the new ones don’t interest me

And then game pass is useless to me as I have to buy the games I used to play on it...

[illah]

Imagine buying the games you really like.

[rectifryer]

Gamepass DOES throw a bunch of games in the library...promote...then pull out

fukking canceled mine. Its NOT what it's hyped up to be.

[Voidgaze]

If you have a gaming PC, no.

If you don't, sure.

Thread should've ended here.

Oh and get a switch too.

You guys must be constantly getting pissed at all the major streaming services lol

If you want to have access to something specific forever, just phucking buy it. I don't know what you guys are doing messing around with services if your interests are that limited.

[BearyManilowe]

Another shtty thing about game pass is they fkin remove the games from the library

Just fkin lol

Just get off this sub already. You obviously don't game and you're just annoying at this point.

Surely they don’t do this with all the games prolly only the good ones

The way to go about gaming is to know your needs/desires and ignoring everyone else's.

Earlier this year and late last year, I poopoo'd the idea of a new xbox because I was PC gaming.

...and then GPU prices went absolutely wild and I caved and sold both my 2080 and 980ti and now am chilling with a PS5 and a backlog of games on Gamepass that I want to finish.

I feel like at this point, it'll be easier and SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper to just grab a series X and wait who knows how long before GPU prices go back to normal.

I srsly don’t understand why ppl give a fk about gfx

[JayJ350]

Yeah same, it's way overblown these days. I mean I get how graphics improvements used to be a really big deal back in the day, but these days it's getting pretty hard to really tell the differences. Performance is generally up on the new consoles, and but it's pretty hard for me to tell the difference between a One X and a Series X without an HDMI 2.1 TV. Frame rates seem to be the biggest difference maker.

And u can just hook up keyboard mouse on series x and then isn’t it the same? I guess ur missing out on mods

A series X is pretty much a pre-built gaming PC.

only if gaming is literally the one and only thing you do. That and media streaming. It sucks for web browsing (no firefox and no browser plugins), it can't do multiple screens, can't do any sort of video editing, etc.

It's a solidly mid-tier dedicated gaming PC of sorts without all the non-gaming PC capabilities if you want to view it that way.

Yeah it's definitely limited, like more of a "lite' gaming PC in a sense. Sort of like using Windows 10 in S mode.

The games on xbox (or any console) are at least twice as expensive and there are much less of them, so even from a financial and gaming standpoint you're worse off. Well, maybe not if you only buy like 10 games.

compared to pc? I guess ur saying u can just torrent the games on pc so it’s obvs a better deal

In terms of laptop/desktop
What’s an equivalent rig for the same price?
I feel like u need to buy a $1-2k laptop/desktop to play the same games normally. U might get better FPS and idc about gfx.

However I feel like in desktop/laptops the tech gets outdated really fast like at most a year later you have to upgrade your laptop/desktop again

Meanwhile a console will last 7 years

But another thing is do U even need more than 120fps

At that point I feel like u can’t notice a difference and can only be noticed in competitive multiplayer games.

What are you saying here? When I buy a launch title it's the same cost across all platforms.

[Muzzlrpress]

I just scrollled game pass library and not a single game interests me

Gaming is dead for you

No, grey market sites. Sure you can torrent, but then no MP.

Yeah might as well just give up and start eating paint chips by that point.

Oh got it, so I can use some backward ass way of buying potentially stolen merchandise that's not a legitimate purchase and call that "cheaper". If that's what you're saying then I can do the same thing with console games at the local flea market from the guy who found a box of new games that must have "fell off the truck".
