Square want some extra free game pass money. No one buys games anymore on Xbox platforms
In his defense, apparently he plays it on PC/PS, but has been on some personal campaign to get it on xbox and was working on it for like a decade or something.How can you react like this ? If that's a game he cared so much about he could just buy a PS5, fuck even a used 200$ PS4... Those streamers actors are so pathetic.
it IS insaneLol…. Xbox gamer here…… so how would you explain the 800 digital games in backlog if I don’t buy games? I’m sure I’m not the only one. I can have gamepass and still buy games, on Xbox….. I know….. it’s fuckin insane right?
Really….. when so many games like Elden ring, Alan wake 2, armoured core and others are NOT on gamepass? You have to buy those games if you want to play them……it IS insane
wow....You will be doing the that with or without game pass. that's the pointReally….. when so many games like Elden ring, Alan wake 2, armoured core and others are NOT on gamepass? You have to buy those games if you want to play them……
What’s the narrative here?
I subscribe to Netflix but I still go to cinemas and buy films digitally.
I subscribe to music software makers like pro tools but still buy hardware interfaces, keyboards and drum machines….
I have an iTunes account but still have an insane ( see what I did there?) vynil and CD collection.
Are some of you so hard up for cash that it’s one or the other? Is it that Hard to believe people do both? These subs are cheap tho…. What’s insane about it bro? Tell me . I’m all ears if like to know your thoughts on it.
Lowered expectations and an excess of disposable income?Lol…. Xbox gamer here…… so how would you explain the 800 digital games in backlog if I don’t buy games? I’m sure I’m not the only one. I can have gamepass and still buy games, on Xbox….. I know….. it’s fuckin insane right?
Simple. I like having lots of games. I also don’t like paying for fifa and madden or F1 and now WRC every year….. but I still want to play them with my friends who absolutely are casuals who won’t touch the games I buy even if they were PS owners. So Intead of buying those games every year. I buy the stuff that’s not on gamepass. The balder gate 3s and the Armoured cores of the world ( I love that game)… but I also get to mess with things like that SD fundal game…. I’ve been exposed to the greatness of yakuza and ended up buying all of them before the first three got removed from gamepass. I haven’t even mentioned the games I started playing in gamepass like dragons quest…. Always knew it was gonna leave gamepass before I could finish it…. So I bought it with a nice 30% gamepass discount and used one of my Xbox rewards vouchers worth 25 bucks at that…. I got that game for 8 bucks. Then relegated it to the backlog, and continued blitzing yakuza, while dipping into smaller indies like moonscars.wow....You will be doing the that with or without game pass. that's the point

Bruh….. I’m just asking you as a fellow gamer… tell me how any of that sounds like a negative for me as a gamer…. Forget that I’m an Xbox gamer for a moment…. Does any of what I said above sound bad as an experience with gamepass since day one? I own and play more games than over ever owned in my life. Just sucks that I don’t have enough to time to finish anything or try everything. My back log is over 800 games. My gamepass library has over 300 more. Some of which I already own but not even close to half of what’s on there. It’s been nothing but good. To be totally honest. I’ll ask again… respectfully…What’s insane about it tho? I got all these options. I wouldn’t even mind one of them Samsung or Xbox Fridges with the led screen on them …. Play some slow burner game like age of empires or some turn based JRPG like persona while my Brockly beef slow cooks on the crock pot. I think it’s pretty cool. Futurist even.
Lowered expectations and an excess of disposable income?
Corden says that nothing is confirmed, but according to his sources, negotiations are underway about Final Fantasy 7 Remake on the Xbox Series and this could result in the arrival of one of the most desired games by the Microsoft Gaming community.
Sounds like this dumb fuck thinks the single studio Insomniac Games is all Sony has. Crying laughing emoji hereAnd not to be so presumptuous, myself but….. I bet your gassed about certain upcoming about certain upcoming remasters and yet more superhero game sequels for the next decade, though eh?… cute.
They live in a land of make-believe.Sounds like this dumb fuck thinks the single studio Insomniac Games is all Sony has. Crying laughing emoji here

Square just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFVII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFVII for Xbox Series or you can kiss your business goodbye.
On gamepass?
Wow. What a brain dead comment.it’s called having a job…… but on topic….Nothing but generations of bangers 1st and third party in my collection….. and probably a bunch of great games you never experienced. presume much?
And not to be so presumptuous, myself but….. I bet your gassed about certain upcoming about certain upcoming remasters and yet more superhero game sequels for the next decade, though eh?… cute.
The original poster of that wasn’t him. He wasn’t that smart.Damn I love this meme. Too bad AmiROX turned out to be a ped0.

M Muppet345Huh...wonder who the OG was, then? I don't wanna give p3d0 AmiROX credit for something this good.
A couple things:I will ask you the same: Forget that you are an xbox gamer for a moment.
and then look at the overall gaming landscape:
Mobile, PC and Consoles.
Am i saying GP is negative for you as a gamer? No. What i am saying is that the overall landscape of gaming makes possible to access a bunch of games in different ways and at differents price points. Having a backlog is quite meaningless if you dont play the games.
Epic has been giving away games without a subscription fee or weird engagement gamification practices.
Steams has insane deals constantly and on PC you could use emulation to play old games as well.
Consoles usually have deals as well, and of course tend to have the best in clase games thanks to First Party Studios.
Despite all the trash, shovelware predatory GaaS practices, I see mobile gaming as the truly sub-indie space, sometimes i surf mobile gaming to discover games that are well designed (and maybe done by one dude). Little experiences that last less than an hour.
All of the above create a gaming landscape that offers games you couldn't play in a lifetime, quite literally
Game Pass big marketing hook is to offer "Day One Quality/AAA Games and all First Party Day and Date" on the service. This is the promised land Phil brings from the heavens; to not pay full price for quality, Otherwise, what is really the value GP brings to the table?.
The issue here is that if it sounds too good to be true... well, it's because it is.
So, enjoy Game Pass and the backlog it provides sooner rather than later.
…… you sound like one of them hurt, pasty, incel muthafuckaz. Just making up insults to look tall on the internet… why do it? I was being nice too. You know you don’t talk to people like this in real life. Be polite. . Go Touch grass, kid. Or go play your Super Nintendo or something.Wow. What a brain dead comment.
So you’ve made a few bucks selling gas station hot dogs and amassed a backlog of 800 imaginary bangers. Good for you? I don’t see how that makes my comment presumptuous. Again — Lowered expectations and an excess of disposable income.
Don’t quite understand the remake and superhero game comment. You seem to be grasping at console warrior straws. I’ve owned every console since the Super Nintendo.
They paid 100 million for timed exclusivity on ONE tomb raider game…… doesn’t seem out of their reach…..You think MS would pay over $100 million for all three FF7 Remake games?
Now now….. no need for childish insults. I know they have other studios. I even own some of those games these days.Shrugs Sounds like this dumb fuck thinks the single studio Insomniac Games is all Sony has. Crying laughing emoji here
I think I didn't explain myself quite clearlyA couple things:
Just because the overall landscape offers a multitude of marketplaces it does not mean I’m going to subscribe to all of them. I’m going to subscribe to the best. As it stands… as a sun… GPU easily stands heads and shoulders above the rest. It just is what it is?
My backlog will always be there even if GPU stopped existing tommorow because those are games I bought. And will continue to buy more. It’s the only game service I’m subscribed to and it just so happens to Ebony he console I play all those third party games that I buy on. Pretty convenient eh?
You hinge too much of GPUs value on AAA experience but discard Xbox push for indies on the service. Stuff like mooncrest and cocoon should not be. Rushed aside just because they don’t cost 70 bucks, feature an over the shoulder cap view and woke messages trying to be an adult themed game. It ain’t always gotta be like that.
And just to get this out the way. Aside from some sports games I play with long time friends, sea of theives (the chill game) and halo, I don’t play much GAAS games. I play single player and indies as much as any of you. Difference is have a tonne of options on one console and service that I just so happen to access in my PCs and TVs around my house. Can you do that with epic or PSN? And it’s not like I need PSN to play death stranding, returnal Spider-Man on my PC during studio downtimes anyway ( you can really appreciate t the sound design more on these games if you play them in a recording studio )
This are my options and they suit me just as those other options you mentioned are better suited to somebody else. I would say I was a very early adopter of digital downloads on console way back on X360. I still have shit like guardian heroes, Daytona USA and radiant silver gun on the same machine I play forza, halo, Elden ring and others on. I’m good with what I got . And there’s more to look forward too. You say it all seems to good to be true but. Here we are anyway. People say it’s not a sustainable business model….. but people are also not a multi trillion dollar company and don’t have the slightest clue what they are talking about when it comes to what MS are doing. It’s been very evident since the ABK thread last year. I say let those of us who like the service enjoy it for what it is. It obviously has some value to us. I know I’m liking it. Certainly liking where they Vs re going with it.
But as it so happens they own a shit tonne of AAA studios these days so let’s see how it all plays out. Last year was Luke warm but this year they got a hot hand ( I’m sure the 18th will give people like myself even more confidence to sub scribe over the next 12 months to say the very least). I know I’m looking forward to avowed, hellblade 2, and others as far as first party and I’ll still be buying the games I care about that are not in GPU as and when I feel too. AAA.. AA, indie, whater. If it floats my boat and it’s not on GPU I buy it. If it’s on the device I’ll play it as and when I got time. If it leaves the service and I miss it… hey… i can always buy it in a sale later on. No big deal. Too many games. Not really enough time is there? Nothing is gonna change there. I’ll just buy what I want and play what I want when I want.
I’m even gonna try streaming GPU from my phone to my head unit in my car( got a lovely alpine ILX F511) one of these days when I’m just chilling.
I just want to see them hit a new plateau for quality and consistency as far as first party. In time that will only make the service more value for money. But they have to start from where they are. The bottom.last place….. but hey…. Ain’t too many people starting from last place with as many studios as they have these days.
Also looking forward to not having to pay for COD every year at some point. I only buy it for my friends. Will be glad to just download and discard it every year for the next one on GPU.
The 'quality' encompasses AA and indies as well. (Just to clarify)"Day One Quality/AAA Games and all First Party Day and Date"
Oooh, serious business — except you’re projecting. Plenty of people are just asking questions or pushing back on your inconsistent claims — yet you seem inclined to shit the bed.…… you sound like one of them hurt, pasty, incel muthafuckaz. Just making up insults to look tall on the internet… why do it? I was being nice too. You know you don’t talk to people like this in real life. Be polite. . Go Touch grass, kid. Or go play your Super Nintendo or something.
It's long after 3/3/21!
Nah that’s the best timing. Xbox only players are not going to be buying rebirth but they will feel the hype from rebirth.I mean... this is bad timing.. this will be sales more PS5 with Rebirth than Xbox.
The definition of madness.They try again a few years later with no change in the result.
Square Enix should figure out how to grow an audience on a system. If they cant figure out, should just quit gaming industry altogether.The only reason that comes to mind is Square asking for money to make it happen because they are (understandably) wary about spending money without a guaranteed chunk of growth.
I don't understand why "negotiations" need to happen for a 4 year old title to get a port? Sony's exclusivity must have long passed by now.
