This is true tbh. I enjoy the variety of games it offers but a big reason is because I didn't play them when they were first released.
Whether you like it or not, consoles for most people are about exclusives as the reality is that 3rd party games can be played on both so the only real differentiation is the quality of the exclusives.
This makes more sense than the last post. But I still disagree about the first sentence. To me at least, a lot of folk seem to be entrenched in their consoles, build up groups or friends within their networks and so are reluctant to leave. Hell, one of the main reasons I jumped back into consoles with the Xbox was because of squad of my old mates had stayed loyal. Before then I was PC for a generation whenever time allowed, with a spare PS3 kicking about.
Ahh yeh people don't care, that's why Microsoft spent $7.5 billion to secure more exclusive games, how stupid of them.
Yes. It's released on multiple consoles and sometimes PC, and then throw in crossplay... Of course.
It's not true, though. Look at the biggest selling PS4 games. 10 of the top 20 are exclusives and the rest are COD, FIFA or Rockstar games which you wouldn't get on Gamepass for years, or ever.
Yeah, I should have actually looked at the table in the first post. I had my vaccine yesterday and was up most of last night feeling rough
keyboard warriors in defending straight away. I have already stated the genres are not to my taste and the exclusives don’t draw me in. It is indeed personal taste.You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I also did not say anything about loving or hating any Xbox games. All my mates are on Xbox, I game with them and that is why I’m still on Xbox. What I am saying however is even after being PlayStation up until 3, then purchasing a PS4 - nothing brought be back in enough.
so quit your vendettas and defences, I’ve always made it clear it’s personal - nothing against Sony or Microsoft - it’s basically the value and enjoyment I get is more from Xbox.
Baaaaa
What the feck is this, one selective week of playtime vs lifetime sales I showed you?
It's not sales at all - it is gameplay. Which is a far better indicator of what people play, over what they spend money on.
Yes every game is a competitive multiplayer or an MMORPG, no such thing as a single player game that is absolutely amazing but you might only run through it twice.
They're all multiplayer games. Multiplayer games will naturally have more hours played than single player games that people will only play for a limited amount of time. That's just simple logic, unlike your logic which so far is;
What is your last point referring to?They're all multiplayer games. Multiplayer games will naturally have more hours played than single player games that people will only play for a limited amount of time. That's just simple logic, unlike your logic which so far is;
- Majority of people want to play on Microsoft, despite majority of people buying anything but a Microsoft
- Exclusives don't matter, despite exclusives being amongst highest selling games and their consoles selling much more
- Playtime of gamepass is what matters most, despite all the games on your list being f2p, multiplayer games that don't need gamepass or aren't on it
I mean...
you're trying to claim that MS suits the majority of people better because it has gamepass, despite your own chart there proving that most games at the top of playtime lists are f2p games you don't need any sort of subscription like gamepass to play or can't be gotten on it. You've basically disproven your own point. Or are you trying to say MS is a better place to play those games, because that's also highly debatable.
Whatever, exclusives don't matter anyway.
It’ll be in PC so it’s not exclusive.
The thing I got from that is "Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still very very early in development.". Hasn't it been in development for about 3 or 4 years now?
We already know if it turns out great who will be the first person to tell us, the irony
That wasn't my point at all. I think gamepass suits the majority of console owners - who clearly mostly play these games - because it offers a huge variety of other games they can easily dip in and out off without spending more than a cup of coffee a month. They can play Xbox exclusives when and if they desire, whereas on the playstation they will require substantial purchases. When exclusives aren't the main draw, rather 3rd-party multiplayer games, Xbox makes the most sense for these people.
But they have access to PS Now which gives access to most of the same games, and some past PS exclusives.
Yeah, guess they went back to the drawing board.
And Schreier's response
This is the dumbest reasoning around. It assumes everyone has access to a high-end PC. When it isn't the case. Far from it.
But you're still wrong. Most of those games are either f2p or not on Gamepass! Aka if you don't want to buy them, gamepass is not a viable place to get them. If that chart was for the Xbox I guarantee feck all Gamepass games would even be on it, maybe Sea of Thieves, which is again, a multiplayer based game. Your article made no sense in the context of what you are failing to prove.
I think maybe you are just struggling to understand what I'm saying. Because you are conflating things once more.
Returnal is exclusive to PS5. If it was available to buy on PC it would not be an exclusive. Ergo, Xbox has no exclusives.
so 60% of the games aren’t on gamepass. Which is a majority. Which is what @Massive Spanner said
"If that chart was for the Xbox I guarantee feck all Gamepass games would even be on it "
It only proves my point, the top 10 are basically like for like with the PS5. F2P or non game pass multiplayer games. Gamepass is a wonderful service, but very few people would pick a series X over a PS5 in order to have it, sales of both consoles have proven that. It's simply not a system seller, however it definitely could be in a few years if Microsoft start churning out proper AAA exclusives on to it, which again, shows the importance of exclusives. At some point I do expect the Series X to become a much more attractive proposition vs a PS5 but that will largely be due to big franchises like Bethesda and Kojima making exclusives for it, not gamepass as it currently is.
The best thing about this whole gamepass service is if it does take off and become great with solid microsoft exclusives, Sony could straight rip it off tomorrow and their line up would be superior instantly.
Agree with most of this besides the exclusives - which perhaps might partly explain why I plumped for Xbox!
Gamepass isn't just about the games.
