Just curious - do you find yourself trying games just because and dropping a lot of them, or do you try games that only look like they appeal to you and stick with them

 

[LectureMaster]

Game Pass added 300+ games alone this year.

Ain't no way could I keep up with the pace.

Drop drop drop.

 

[A.Romero]

A huge part of the appeal is to be able to try different games without committing.

Why would I keep playing something that I don't like after testing it? Hell, I do that even after paying for a regular license.

 

[Wilhelm_85]

I dropped Game Pass, but I think Indiana Jones was the only game I ever played through to completion.

I basically treated it as a demo service and it was of questionable value at that, but the price hike convinced me to drop it.

 

[Artistic]

As a GPE member, it's about equal.

I purchase my games outright though.

 

[San Dan Glokta]

Every game is a demo to be dropped unless I decide otherwise.

That being said, I almost never mindlessly download and play games without some cursory research.

 

[kevboard]

I mean yes. that's the nature of such a service. you can't play all games it offers, but you can try them all and see if you like them.

a recent example of one I will stick with is Routine, which I'd probably had ignored if it wasn't on GamePass.

that's the yin and yang of gamepass lol

 

[TheAtomicPile]

I still persist with more games than I drop, but I have to say it was super easy to drop the Oblivion Remaster and Ninja Gaiden 4 having only spent a combined total of like $13 to try them as opposed to $140 or something.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

No I actually do stick with a lot of games I try, they tend to be short anyhow.
I think I only dropped blue prince, as far as I can recall recently.

 

[Durin]

I'd say its about 50/50 for me, since having the sub meant I would try stuff like a demo service.

If I ended up liking it, I'll finish it, and if I really like it just buy it on Steam.

Ball X Pit, The Alters, Everspace 2, Pacific Drive and Nine Sols I doubt I would've tried until big discount pricing...and I ended up loving all of them.

 

[nemiroff]

I only have so much time, of course I drop games. I mean, I even drop games bought with my own money.

Both Clair Obscur and Silksong got dropped. Not because they're bad, but because I found out they're not for me.

On the other hand f.ex., I ended up sticking with The Outer Worlds 2 even though I dropped the first game

It works out well for me

 

[6502]

Before I dropped gamepass I was dropping games 15 mins in.. but I tried hundreds and sunk 100s of hours across a few.
That was the appeal, always something to try. There was a value to that, just for me the price eventually outweighed the value of fewer outright purchases with the same money.

 

[Gravemind]

I finish all of them usually

 

[adamsapple]

Not trying every single game that lands on GP.

But have tried a lot of games I would never have otherwise because they're there.

 

[Punished Miku]

I try every game on the service. Easy to do with cloud. Just expands my perception of gaming to see more stuff. I complete a lot of games, sticking with the stuff I think is worth it.

 

[Sooner]

There are GamePass subscribers left?

 

[DavidGzz]

Probably leaning more to dropping but that rings true for games I buy in Steam too lol

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

When I was subbed, I used it more as a rental service to just try games I'd never buy. Having said that, I beat quite a few GP games.
