GamePass Vs shelling 80-90$

[Aizenhym]

What are we thinking bois, I still have 3 moths of GamePass on one hand, but I really like steam as my main platform.

What's everyone's choice?

[Stone]

Gamepass is great,. why wouldn't you have it? lol

[clarkeveritas]

I’m fairly sure someone will come yell at you for the blatant piracy announcement. I don’t personally care either way- just saying they do that sometimes.
Secondly- I know people with ocd that CAnNOT play another game until they get 100%. Or other such craziness… but there are more than a few people that will buy games just to GET some achievements.

I will buy it First day on Steam.
A Game that i Play more than 100h is Worth my Money

I think that your pricing is a wild guess.

One day it will be off gaypass and you might still want to play it. Also I don't do subscriptions.

[newtwitchone]

Buy only for me. I do not use subscription services (apart from my ISP) and I want to own games, not rent them.

Gamepass no. If it's $80+ also no. I'll just wait for Skyblivion instead. If it's reasonably priced then my preferred platform would be GOG but Steam is fine too.

I'm old school I like to OWN things; granted steam still isn't totally OWNING something but it sure is better than a subscription... when possible I get on GOG because I am sure then I will have the install files as-is I can keep locally. if not well... I tend to go arrr arrr because it is the best way to keep things for yourself without enduring the whims of platforms like Steam or, worse, Gamepass

EDIT: I also miss physical releases... there are still some big boxes but 1. they are overpriced and not really the normal release and 2. they just give you a key for a steam download anyway instead of actually providing the game on a real physical media...

Depending on the gameplay we see today I might do neither and wait for mods

my logic is this: Gamepass NO. ridiculous price on steam or gog? NO. reasonable price on GOG or Steam? YES, with a preference for GOG.
To be clear for a non physical release of game, I consider anything above 40 USD for AAA title ridiculous. for a physical release with proper goodies I'd push to 50-60USD max. It's game after all not really a necessity for life...

And that is why I’m always several years behind and buying games when they are like 10 bucks. I figure 300 full-priced games, waited down from 60 to 10 bucks, that’s 15,000 you saved.
Of course you’d probably. Or buy all 300 IF you paid full price- but cheap, patient gaming is just spiffy.

Gamepass and ea access can be great if you use them in short-bursts- they make money off you forgetting you have it.

Mind that Skyblivion is based on Skyrim, which means that the gameplay is different to Oblivion. They simply can't port that 1:1 to Skyrim.

If the game doesn't interest me 100%, I buy later as well. But, if there's something which I'm really hyped about, I also buy full price.

Again, though, no price has been revealed, so, before I get my panties in a bunch over it...

[clarkeveritas]

I’ll go full price if it’s a potential 10 but those are rare enough for me that I can usually be super-cheap.

I was like that, but it's actually pretty decent these days. Hasn't bothered me recently.
