Seriously, this is annoying as hell, it seems like a new religion or something.

A games delivery method is probably the least interesting portion of gaming.

Talk games
Talk gaming culture
Talk gaming platform

Don't be a gamepass high priest of you are not paid for it, and don't polute all threads with:
GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass GamePass

This makes the place suck, I'm sure even Microsoft's marketing don't think about it this much.

This is a gaming forum, and Gamepass is a major part of gaming now.
If the mods feel the same, they will do something about it.

The seperate threads do actually warrant discussion by themselves
people are just a little ...see below about all the positive xbox related news

Instead of whining about it you should check out gamepass...its awesome
 
Given you admitted you responded about stuff you had no clue what the thread was about (machine learning is a pretty pointy subject)... I don't think your expert opinion has any kind of value.
Yes i responded to another child making a meltdown thread, like i'm responding to your childish meltdown thread. And if you look, you will see a lot of other people doing it too.
Take the hint.
Now, be a player, not a stalker.

The Gamepass threads go well paired with the Sony is destroying gaming history by shutting down their legacy console stores.

Flavorful notes of praising paying 15 bucks a month for games that will be taken away when your license ends or they are delisted over time and then in the same breath complain how Sony stopping the sales of older digital titles is such an unspeakable horrific act.
 
Not gonna lie, I'm with OP on this one. Almost every thread lately seems to break down into Gamepass vs. non Gamepass...it's seriously tiresome. Just gonna stick to Off-Topic for a while cause Gaming side is beyond annoying right now.

Thank you! As someone that has already tried the service, I agree
 
it is kind of annoying that there is too much gamepass related thread flood in like there is no others stuff to talk about.
 
If it's current and actual news/info then hell yeah people want to read it.

I find VR topics bland and boring, that doesn't mean they should go because my preferred toy doesn't have it.

Don't like it, don't click it. simple shit

There are 4 Gamepass threads on the first page, including this one moaning about Gamepass threads, and one what was actually made by a Sony fan on about the possibility of Gamepass coming to PS5.
Its hardly extreme, and a far cry from the amount of SSD threads there were in the year before launch.
And like you said, one of the most stupidest thing that has always been a part of forums, is people moaning about certain threads. Just dont enter them threads if you're not interested.
Simple.
 
Hollywood Stars have Scientology, GAF XBox Warriors have Gamepass. For once, Hollywood is less annoying.
 
business models are part of gaming tho
this is gaming foremost forum. not bussiness model foremost forum where the later outputting the former.

sure, we can discuss about related stuff to gaming like crunch, subscription services, game price tag and stuff, but dont let it get out of hand. tone it down a bit. every single time i open this forum i see tons of gamepass thread that can even drive other post to the bottom. i can understand if it about new official information released but recently it gone wild with tons of 'what if' situation and worship or dislike thread. each time also bring same argument over and over again among people here. endless war debate.

....like c'mon man.

probably better to have a single megathread for any opinion about the services for people to rant about.

lol gamepass is overrated tbh, you dont own the game at all.
Extremely overrated! Most of the catalog I had either played or owned for what my tastes are and yes, ownership is a must for me

I never saw someone complaining about all the TLOU2 or "Look ma how often Sony game XY sold" threads and there are more than sand on the beach. Game Pass really seems to worry people lately.
 
I think it's a great idea to make a GamePass OT thread and to merge all (at least new) GP related threads there.

Same goes with all the "let's throw shit to Jim Ryan" threads.

Even this thread will turn out to be a pro gamepass thread. You all need to ride this train now lol

Nah, they were plenty of TLOU threads. Most of them were negative too but nobody complained about it.

I mean it's fine to talk about gamepass I just don't actively join the conversations about them since it's the same thing rinse and repeat every thread. Every talking point has been mentioned already. It doesn't interest me anymore.

I just wish there were more topics made recently that aren't about shit like gamepass or xbox vs sony. I want more lttp, more opinion threads or celebratory threads. I kinda felt like the forum died down a bit after the next gen launch since there's hardly anything new brought up.

I would like that too, but let's be honest, most people here love console warring much more than actually gaming. If i would open a thread about 20 interesting indie games i would get like 3 answers after a day. If i would open a thread "My cleaning woman sold her PS5, got a Xbox and is more happy now" i would have 10 pages within one hour.
Sad but true. The gaming section on GAF should be renamed to fanboy wars.

LOL.

Hey, I tried to make a MLB The Show tips & trick thread days ago.

As a gamer who will play MLB The Show for the first time since the PS2 days, I was looking for tips and settings suggestions so I don't have to waste time doing trial and error testing like every sports gamer has to do at the beginning when playing a new edition in ages.

Nobody replied.

People preferred The Show GP threads.
 
lol gamepass is overrated tbh, you dont own the game at all.
Why would you want to own games? I thought people didn't care about replaying old games. Play it new on Game Pass and then move on to the next one. If you really want to own it then you can play it for free and wait for it to go on sale to get it cheap.
 
It is getting tiring to constantly see like 10+ Gamepass threads on the first page, especially when most OPs offer absolutely nothing but gloating.

Same goes with all the "let's throw shit to Jim Ryan" threads.
Let's have two threads.

The Gamepass Church.

F Jim Ryan.

Straight to the point titles.
 
The GP mafia here is worse than the SJWs. They use the exact same tactics...but they worship a subscription service?

It's all the same posters in every thread repeating each other. They are so far gone I'm sick of them.

Bring back REEEE
 
Completely agree with OP. Maybe make one Gamepass thread instead of one new thread every time something happens? GP is great - and basically the only thing Xbox has over the competition right now - but when the first page has several closely related GP threads it feels more like an astroturfing campaign than a discussion between gamers.
