Gamepass is one of the main reasons I bought a Series X and while is has saved me a lot of money, the lack of big 1st party games is really starting to show. I treat it like I do Netflix now. Wait til there are several games I want to try then get a 3 mo subscription.

That's a good idea. I said in another comment I have recommended it and the new PS Plus to people who don't want to spend the money or have the money for a full priced game, so I'm not opposed to the consumer benefit. It just becomes increasingly hard to swallow when the lack of big titles can only barely be supplemented by the other 3rd party offerings. They might be great but what are you guys offering.

After skipping the Xbone, I'm finding Gamepass a deal. I've only had my Series X for about 8 months, but I've finally got to play Gears of War Judgement, 4, 5, and Halo 5 & Infinite. Once I finish Mass Effect Andromeda and Plagues Tale, I'll probably lay off for a bit and cancel my subscription until my backlog grows again. With the PSVR2 coming next month, I'll be plenty busy in that anyways. What a great time to be a gamer. :)

Way back when I roamed the earth with dinosaurs...haha! Okay, maybe not that long, it just feels like it. Sega had the Sega Channel through your cable provider. I think they were sued by Sony at some point and had to shut down. While the channel was up, there was a monthly subscription via your cable bill. Hook up your Genisis via your cable box and TV giving you 50-100 games to play at all times, adding new ones monthly. It was fun! My kids loved it and we spent quality time playing games together. (I was kinda strict about video game time) I've not had a monthly sub to play games since then. I also stopped playing random level-up games for story-driven RPGs. I think I am losing my point... 🤔 Oh, yeah! I only buy 1-3 games per year and unless I am super excited, I'll wait for a Steam sale. There are too many subscription services nowadays. I only keep Netflix long enough to binge a few shows I'm following and then shut it off again. I try to manage priority when it comes to subs and not have chunks of money leaving my account every month. Thanks for the great video!

Appreciate the comment. Yeah like I said these things are great value, hence I tried to be nuanced here. So I’m trying to just basically say that you can give me a few great games I have to pay for and 6000 that are kind of across the board from okay, to good to great and I may want the few cause I only have personal bandwidth for so many at a time lol

@K S It really was. I don't remember the details., but Sony and Nintendo came gunning for Sega and created a lawsuit effectively shutting the channel down. I have no idea the reasons. I'm sure I could google it. My kids were pre-teens so this was in the early to mid-90s.

I like the value of subscription services. I'm subscribed to Plus and Game Pass which gives me so many games to keep playing year in year out. And I find myself being able to buy plenty of accessories and new hardware coming out like the Steam Deck and I'm also going to buy PSVR 2 relatively soon. Being able to play games without worrying about breaking the bank is a huge win for us as gamers. Even when they inevitably price hike the services the value is still going to be there on both platforms at least for me.

It makes sense to me. I mean I still have game pass, but I have been a completionist in the past, but it is harder for me to stick with a game. The trade off is that I didn't play very many games. I only bought games I knew there was a high degree chance I would love. Now I can play different games and experience them, even if it isn't at the same depth I would have normally. It's a personal choice for sure but it makes total sense.

I have had gamepass for a couple years now but I hardly use it. I got it late so I already own most of the good games I am interested in that are on there. Still grateful it's so popular because it keeps the multiplayer games I play that are on gamepass alive with lots of people to play with. But with the rumors of price hikes coming I won't be renewing, I will just wait for games to be out awhile and then grab them on sale.

If you play two $70 games in one year, it does make sense (plague's tale, atomic heart for me currently). However, like you, I am at my wit's end with 1st party. Starfield especially needs to be good and can't get kicked down the road again. For the industry, we need competition so I hope it works. If not, I'm out.

I had been loyal to play station since the beginning. Had a super nes previously. But I bought a series s last year (will eventually upgrade to the x) but i bought it because of Bethesda and the fact that xbox has better mods for FO4 and Skyrim Sony's vanilla assets only sucks. But I have never used game pass because I can't justify having it as I'm only home 2 weeks out of the month because I have a camp job. Oh and just buy the games I know i want to play. I have no interest in the ps5.
