I used to care quite a bit about Games with Gold and PS+ games but since Xbox Game Pass I just don’t care at all. This is a terrible selection of games and maybe I should be annoyed, but I’m not.
100% agree with you on this… I used to hang out to see the PS Plus/Games with Gold every month and when there was a month that had a game I would definitely play (or one I had been sitting on the fence about) I would download and potentially play it straight away..
I keep telling some of my PS4 only friends that Game Pass is such an amazing deal but some of them can’t see past their fanboy-ism or (understandably) don’t want to dump money into an ecosystem they aren’t familiar with.
The point being, if you are an xbox gamer who likes a variety of games, you really need to try Game Pass. Case in point is that arguably WRC8 is the tent-pole game this month, but Game Pass has Dirt 4 and Dirt Rally 2.0 which are both superior.
Don’t even need to be an xbox gamer. PC’s got a decent selection up for four bucks a month on the PC-only beta. Smaller library, smaller price, but definitely some good shit in there worth more than $48 for the year.
The screenshot got me excited that it was a Jet Ski game that I hadn’t played yet.
I’m going to take this chance to plug Riptide, a spirtual successor to Hydro Thunder, its got an excellent little gameplay loop, and is available on every device ever. Well worth the pickup.
