Simple answer, not all games are in gamepass. But you knew that. Go back to your thread troll

I have asked you to substantiate a couple of your posts before; but it seems you declined.

Now, when I am asking a pertinent question, you just go for the base accusation of being a troll.

I would say you need to grow up, and actually answer questions?

PS - I agree. But you and others were implying it was the be all and all of gaming previously.

So, now that one of the most fervent supporters of game pass has shown they are now actually spending additional money on decent games - well, I think that says it all.

How dim are you? The very first sentence was the answer. As I said, go back to your thread troll. You and JVC or whatever his name is was funny in the beginning, but the PS5 gospel and Xbox bashing is old now. You are welcome to do what you want elsewhere. You and your trolling isn't welcome here.

I will give you what you want to hear: PS5 GOOD. PS5 THE BEST.

Now piss off would you.

No where did I say it was the best. You are welcome to search my history if you disagree. Whatever floats your boat.

You sound very angry. I'm sorry if me pointing out the obvious creates such a reaction from you.

But, no, I will piss in my toilet, but I will still be here being amazed at your inability to see reality.

I have seen stats displayed in the process tab of the "official club" for games. But it's touch and go. I guess it only works for series console enhanced games, sometimes.

I don't see it working for doom and squadrons, but it's there for Forza horizon 4.

There is a way on the app for your phone, but for some reason the app never works while I'm connected to my wifi I need to switch to my mobile, but currently can't do that due to load shedding.

If you running something like Pi-hole or other add blocker on your network you might wanna check that? Some Live services get added to the lists for some reason. I had to add whitelists for some of Microsoft's domains to get screenshots and such to work on my Pi-hole.

Don't have any of those added, but will check the routers later when I've got power.

There is an issue with squadrons and resuming. Earlier when I trained, it was a slide show. Later in the evening after doing other stuff, I resumed again and everything was WAY too fast. I was zipping around in space. It's not playable either way so I had to kill and restart the game.

That sucks. I'll keep an eye out for that.

Go read my Jack and Jill story.

*edit*

So far since I got my Series X I've played 6 games on Game Pass and one that I bought. Excellent value for money.

Game - Release date - Metacritic score

On Game Pass:
Gears Tactics - November 10, 2020 - 82
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order - November 15, 2019 - 81
Call of the Sea - December 8, 2020 - 77
Sea of Solitude - July 5, 2019 - 72
Wasteland 3 - August 28, 2020 - 84
DOOM Eternal - March 20, 2020 - 88

Bought before I bought the Series X:
Watch Dogs 2

That's immense value for money. I haven't bought a game since I bought the Series X.

Currently busy with Star Wars Squadron that's free to play on the XBox this weekend.

Imma just ignore him....
He is upset cause the cost of his choice left him broke so he cant afford something to play... why else would he be sitting on the forum at night trolling instead of playing games :D

I guess cause I have a house I should not pay to stay when vacation or cause I have food at home I should not go out to eat either.... either limited mind set or out to troll.

Decided to go "f it" and picked up Assassins Creed Origin & Odyssey on above mentioned sale (R500 for both).... Haven't played any since No 2.

From what I saw they rate Origin lower than Odyssey so decided to play the Origin 1st. and My word!, what a beautiful game. Cant believe I skipped them. Only 1 hour in and can already say Worth it! Plays smooth as butter on Series S so would put it in my "Must have" pile.

Sadly no. :(
Was one week only Special.

Bliksem!!!!!... I see Origin Gold is now R2200... and some noobs ask me why I bought a R200 game when I have GamePass.

Edit: If you have access to a PlayStation, they have Odyssey and some others on sale.
Edit2: Oh wait I have the Origin Delux Edition so thats only R1150.00 but still not bad for R200. Odyssey R1440 was Gold edition for R200.

Forgive me, but why are you paying for games when you have been espousing the awesomeness of game pass for months now?

Everyone's needs are different. I cannot, and will not, pay R1000+ a pop for single games. They can go fly a kite. It will never happen. But <R50pm for the next 3 years for a random selection of OK games including all Microsoft games & flight simulator on the PC? SIGN ME UP

Compared to the 3 cartridges I had on my first and only console, some random Atari, ... Game pass is pure awesomeness and feels like having unlimited games.

Is the Game pass the be-all and end-all? Not at all. Have I bought extra games that ain't on game pass? Yes. But for me, it was stupid small games like Uno and Monopoly. To each their own I guess.
