Then he will miss ever present GP concern threads or flat-out negative ones. You can't have that.

Sony people, I have been away from GAF lately and after reading a few latest threads, I came to a very clear conclusion that you are going through a very confusing and painful mass meltdown phase. It is sad to see grown up people acting this way. Chill out, play Astrobot or something. You will be fine.

This whiney thread just makes me want to start another gamepass topic......

Same, but i can only find some current negative news and i'm pretty sure OP would love that.

 

[sunnysideup]

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.

100% sure its an astroturf marketing campaign

 

[Malcolm9]

This place and the other place have become pretty cringey with the Gamepass wankfest, so I agree .

We saw how much people cried when MS tried to raise the price of Gold (and they will eventually), can you imagine when GP goes up, the aftermath will be amazing .

 

[Dthomp]

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.

Wish I would have seen you thread, I'm average at best, but I'd give you what works for me. However honestly there are so many various pitching/batting interfaces and a couple new ones this year that honestly trial and error might be the best way to relearn after that many years away and how pitch speeds have changed over the years.

I don't usually dig too many pages deep when I check gaming side, and with all the console warrior bullshit I spend even less time clicking here these days. If you could link the thread I'll gladly go over and answer whatever I can, it's super late here for me so I don't have time to dig for it now or I would.

 

[Chukhopops]

The truth is nothing fucking happens right now when it comes to games being released, what are you going to talk about? Outriders? Balan thingy? Only worthwhile releases are Monster Hunter and Isaac.

Maybe in May when Village comes out there'll be something to talk about.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Ignore Me. Maybe an ot would be good.

 

[Banjo64]

The bitterness lmao.

Front page right now;
- things Jim Ryan did get right
- Returnal Sony promo video disguised as a 'hands on'
- Sony+ - the Game Pass and Netflix destroyer
- Outriders UK 17% Xbox sales 83% PS
- Godfall dev; SSD SSD SSD SSD SSD
- Is Sony leading the open world genre? (No).
- Sony Game Pass - does it make sense financially?
- Jim Ryan has lost the Mandate of Heaven

Vs 3, yes 3, Game Pass threads on the first page. And you have the cheek to complain about shilling or astroturfing? But yes, let's suppress and consolidate all the good news in to one thread.

Some of you enjoyed the PS4 dicking the Xbox One so much that's it's literally given you a God complex (because you think you are part of Sony or some shit? Or that they actually care about you?), and now that Xbox are giving some back, you really can't take it. It was all fun and games but now it's all tears tears tears. Grow up.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I hope we start seeing new games soon because between Jim and Gamepass the frontpage kinda sucks.

 

[Zoro7]

I agree. The worship of a subscription model is super cringe. But yall do you!

 

[DenchDeckard]

the industry...."gamepass is genuinely amazing and really highlights the price increases on another platform".....

 

[DAHGAMING]

Expect a dm from me everytime a new game enters the holy grail gamepass and a lot of praise.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Maybe in May when Village comes out there'll be something to talk about.

What if RE comes out on game pass?

 

[DispatchNinja]

Every time I read another game pass thread it sounds like it's coming from an outer worlds character.

Bolded the other ones that were thinly veiled GP threads already or became another battleground on GamePass. Also, of the many MLB rested threads (pretending Sony itself published on GamePass) was closed after others were in the front page before.

 

[Fess]

Most praising is found in game news threads. Other Gamepass threads are mostly related to concerns and meltdowns.

But the thing is, a great game appearing on Gamepass is big news for many of us who has already Gamepass prepaid for several years. It would be weird to hide it all in a OT.

 

[hemo memo]

Nah it is fine. If it is deserved (and it is) then I'm fine with it as it is a fantastic service in terms of value and already putting pressure on Sony to improve their service offering. This is coming from a PS5 console owner with no intention of buying a Series X but Gamepass is a great service looking from the outside and it should be recognized for that. Competition is good and healthy for the industry and overall better for us players.

 

[SidViscous]

Their 1 dollar gamepass upgrade will run out in 4 years, just stay strong op and keep repeating "it isn't sustainable" and take slow breaths.

Is visibility a concern… how?

 

[Little Chicken]

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

it's crazy how upset some people are getting over gamepass. i wonder if things would be the same if Sony decided to put out a similar service?

I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox has list money overall for MS since Xbox OG 20 years ago.

And if Xbox is still around now with tons of support now including $1 game pass top ups since summer 2019, I'm pretty sure MS will keep the deal going.

If they are that concerned about GP profits they'd stop the $1 upgrade and heavy focus on game pass games long time ago.

if anything, they are getting more aggressive. So it shows it's not slowing down whether someone likes or not
