By HoboVapes Go To PostI think the play would be to just push two big games a year, load them up with micro transactions and support them long term. Fill out the rest of the library/year with good titles from yesteryear and newer indie titles just to hook people into the “”VALUE PROPOSITION””.That's exactly what they're already doing. They have big games they support for a while by their big studios supplemented by games smaller in scope. Forza Horizon 4 is still going strong a year later and Gears 5 has years of updates planned while they're pushing smaller single player games like Gears Tactics and Ori to go with it.
By blackace Go To PostIt would be new for gaming… I mean Netflix weren't even the ones to start streaming content, but they were the ones who brought it to movies/TV shows
Don't know what you are arguing now. I'm arguing gamepass can't become Netflix of games because a) content pipeline isn't even close, b) other companies have no interest in allowing gamepass to become the Netflix of games, and unlike with Netflix they do see it coming. In 2007 a subscription based streaming platform was a non factor, now it's everywhere.
The big hand MS hopes it has is cloud, which is the only reason the Xbox division is being given a blank cheque. The great hope that people will be playing Read Dead Redemption 2 on their phones. Maybe it pans out.
It's more likely that MS ends up providing the infrastructure for others and makes a lot of money from it.
NO LOAD SCREENS (but 5 hours downloading patches off PSN before you can even play the game, and load screens hidden by cutscenes)

You are complaining about load screens being hidden by cutscenes?
By Wahabipapangus Go To PostNO LOAD SCREENS (but 5 hours downloading patches off PSN before you can even play the game, and load screens hidden by cutscenes)1st point true
2nd point nah (at least until late in the gen)
By FortuneFaded Go To PostYou are complaining about load screens being hidden by cutscenes?
Just saying it's not very revolutionary to do that. Even Garfield Kart does it with its cinematic openings to the races.
By RrusheR Go To PostDon't know what you are arguing now. I'm arguing gamepass can't become Netflix of games because a) content pipeline isn't even closeExcept the way people play games is different than the way they consume movies and TV. People will play the same game for a long time. They watch a Netflix show over a weekend and they're done for a year until the next season. They can support a game long enough and keep people coming back.

Yes it's different, and there are a lot less potential costumers for a product like gamepass. And for games that are "live", they don't need a platform like gamepass, they are already their own platform. See Fortnite for the latest example.
It's all about the ☁️ and those hundreds of millions of potential costumers that are just waiting to finally start playing Disco Elysium. It's also an opportunity for MS to create some market share on PC, and to literally lock down their dwindling user base before they get smart. That 360 nostalgia can only do so much.

So basically there is a wide open market for a subscription service in gaming. Will MS be the ones to figure it out? I don't know but the market is there despite netflix existing

There's a market for many subscription services, which is what we are getting.
By /sy Go To Postthen it's not the netflix of games?Is it only the Netflix of games if they're only releasing prestige single player games? That's just not what Microsoft is ever going to deliver. They'll always have their core live service titles (Halo, Gears, Forza) anchoring the service.
unless you're talking about market share?
By Flutter Go To PostGonna be fast.
turns out changing the disc was actually faster than the installation after every chapter

If the plan is to have the service reduced to just XGS titles, then I don't know how that's the "netflix of games" and going back to my other point,
Without the massive list of non XGS games on the service, gamepass would be just another subscription service.

Fap Queen 2 is a JOI game, where cute anime mistresses command you to play with yourself in various kinky ways. Endure their challenges and torments long enough, and the Queen might reward you in the end *wink wink*.
Obviously the game cannot check whether you actually do the tasks, but why would anyone cheat in a wonderful game like this?
