Xbox Game Pass Titles for Mid February 2022

adamsapple

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
They were a lot of day one gamepass games that were trash like most of those last year as well



So ? Your last complaint was about not having new games. Now you're shifting goals again.

Not sure if you're expecting Game Pass to only get 90+ meta critic certified games on day 1 or what ..

Only reason to not convert is if you are subscriber 1 one month out of the year for one game. Might as well just buy the games at that point.

The conversion is the reason Microsoft has kept the price point at what its at and will keep it there. Silly to not take advantage

Why would I buy them? It's paying £11 instead £50/£60 and chances are i'll never play them again after a month

I don't have to waste money locking myself in, and I can play them at a massive discount. If I end up subbing for long period of time then i'm still playing them at a massive discount regardless.

You need to pay $180 for those 3 year. You need to be fresh of gamepass on your account, to have that converson. Majority of gamers cant do that. Since spending $180 at once is alot of money. Only rich gamers can afford that.


No one will sub to your service, if you just do your 1st party games as day1.
Also, day1 3rd party wont kill the industry. There are other stuff, they need to worry about it 1st. If a game is a hit, and not cyberpunk2077 type of launch game. The game is good. More audience.
What MS is giving these developers is payment first, then put their games on the service. You also have other platforms, which you can make money from. The game has 1 year contract, so you can make money. Its like timed exclusive deals.
No, the reason you do 180 is if you want the maximum of 3 years.

You telling me the majority of games cant afford a 1 year conversion? And if you arent fresh of gamepass its literally the easiest thing to just make a new account for gamepass and then link it to whatever account your saves are on.

Anyone paying by the month is just wasting money.

Anyone expecting major 3rd party day 1 releases is a fool

Windjammers 2, Rainbow Six Extraction, Danganronpa (On Xbox at least), Crossfire, Edge of Eternity, Total War: Warhammer 3

These are all day 1 releases and we're only in February right now.

You're just asking for an avatar quote lol
Aside of edge of eternity, the rest are meh. As for Danganronpa anniversary, that was 2010 game, just repacked. Total war: Warhammer 3 is pc. Crossfire x was total garbage. Rainbow six extraction was added, due to failure forecast.

To put it simply, February is shit gamepass month. Compared to January, which had more value.

Yeah, let me make new xbox account, while I throw away my xbox account, which has its own library. You make it sound, like alot of gamers want to do this step. Sorry, but you are living in a fantasy, if you think it that way. No one is gonna give up their xbox account, for gamepass.

$15 is 3 big mac price here in America. You can save that $15, since its monthly payment.

Not every gamer likes 1st party games. Ask xbox and PlayStation 1st party sales. People buy these consoles for 3rd party games. They dont give a crap about halo, spiderman, forza horizon, and god of war. They want their 3rd party games.

Majority of gamers are poor. They cant carelessly spend alot of money on games. People generally buy 3 day1 games a year, which they save it. You are expecting them to spend that much money at once?

Giving me some shovelware isn't a compelling argument in case that needed spelling out for you

Your personal narrow view of what does and doesn't amount to a good month for a service as a whole isn't either lol.

It kinda doesn't matter what games like Cross Fire and Rainbow Six reviewed as they were added to the service day 1, before any critical reception. Forza Horizon 5 could very well have been a game reviewed in the 60's as well.

You guys aren't exactly making a good case of a/ complaining about not having enough new games then b/ criticizing when the new games are added day 1.

no one can afford it. Only those who have money can afford it.

You can get 3 years of game pass as cheap as < $100, you just need to put in a little bit of VPN effort into it.

Gaming as a whole isn't a cheap hobby if you're going to be that pedantic about it. People shouldn't spend money on $299 to $499 consoles either if it's an expensive proposition.

Not a great service for most people then since that's where the majority of growth comes from. Like with any sub-service
I honestly thought they'd have dying light in gamepass, I swear they were promoting it a while back. Ended up buying it anyway but it would of been a good get.

You arent throwing away your account. You literally still have access to all your old games and saves and gamepass if you link them lol. I literally just did it myself. You still play on your profile

It's amazing why people feel the need to regurgitate the obvious

Would you feel better if I put an IMO at the end of all my sentences or something?

Yes, that would actually go a long way rather than calling the blanket service as crap just because you neither like the new games, nor the well regarded old games that get added, lol.

PS. Calling games like Windjammers 3, Edge of Eternity, Warhammer 3 'crap shovelware' is just .. come on lol.

And I think it's better for the conversation as a whole if you stop reaching wild generalizations instead and label your personal opinions and tastes clearly instead of trying to blanket label a batch of releases others don't mind.

It matters, when your February timed exclusive game is hot garbage of a turd game. You need something, that can make that shit go away. Cyberpunk2077 would have been a better choice, since that one got big patch, and next gen enhancement.

You need those new games. People sub to your service in that promise of good games. MS set the stage, and they need to deliver it. Even Assassin creed Valhalla would have been a better choice. Day1 games isnt a mandatory, but you need 1 AAA game at least a month.

January had hitman 3 and mass effect legendary edition. Those are nice games.

No, like I said it's better if you grow up and learn to not get offended. I'm sure I didn't hurt gamepasses feelings

Warhammer 3 isn't a small deal. That's a LOT of game to get for $1 a month

Ofc I'll not be getting it that way, but still

You are throwing away your account.

The purpose of gamepass, is to make your library bigger. Adding that to your xbox account, would allow you to buy these games, and increase your own library. Then, there is xbox live gold, which you are ignoring it. Gamepass ultimate gives you that. If you have call of duty, you can use ultimate to play the online version. You cant do that, if you use another gamepass account.

That would have been massive at least. Highly anticipated AAA game day1 on your service. You will get alot of subs that way for that month.

Not going by our boy Can over here. He expects Game Pass to produce Day 1 AAA 90+ MC certified games each month.

You know no one knew Crossfire was gonna be hot garbage months ago when it was announced as a day 1 release right ?

That's the beauty of 'day 1 games'. You're getting them on day 1 before all the critical reception is out.

Warhammer 3 is also a big day 1 release in Feb and that is reviewing a lot better for what it's worth. Currently sitting on 88 Metacritic if that's what you want to gauge as a good day 1 release.

No, just general sensibility with having unrealistic expectations about a subscription service then whining about it when it's not met.

PS. You should really give some of those 'crap shovelware' games a try, you might end up enjoying them.

You're whining because I said gamepass has had fuck all for me for 2 months that I care about

Think about that for a second and reflect upon it

If i was even remotely interested in any of that crap i'd have just paid the £11 to sub again. But we have youtube for that.

Btw Warhammer is a good one in this. But it's a PC game so that rules it out completely.

Nah.

Whatever account you have gamepass conversion on you set as your home.

Then you just sign in with whatever account you have your previous purchases, saves, profile name etc.

You get gamepass, gold and your account stuff, purchases, saves, name, etc

I think warhammer is a really good get tbh but if you don't have a pc or aren't into those games I can see why it's underwhelming. In saying that hitman and mass effect was decent

Nah friend, like I said before, my only 'whine' here is your insistence on the service having a 'pathetic' 'crap' year so far when it clearly doesn't and then the shifting of your message from the lack of new day 1 games to something different.

He isnt asking for those. He is saying about the shit day1 games, which gamepass have been getting. Recent example is cross fire x. This is something, MS needs to reevaluate. It hurts gamepass image, if those games, keep getting dropped in to the service.
They were a lot of day one gamepass games that were trash like most of those last year as well
You know no one knew Crossfire was gonna be hot garbage months ago when it was announced as a day 1 release right ?
MS made a deal with them. They let the game on their service. They should have been careful with that game. That doesnt take the responsibility away from them. At least delay the game, until its good.

That's the beauty of 'day 1 games'. You're getting them on day 1 before all the critical reception is out.
And you get tons of bad news, how gamepass has shit games. Is that what you want to set for the developers? Drop shit games, so devs can fix it later, like cyberpunk2077 way? Is that what you as a gamepass user want? Because I dont want that shit.

Warhammer 3 is also a big day 1 release in Feb and that is reviewing a lot better for what it's worth. Currently sitting on 88 Metacritic if that's what you want to gauge as a good day 1 release.
PC version only. What would Xbox guys get? What do they get? Because gamepass is about those guys in the center, not just the pc section. This is all on MS hands.

Lack of good day one games.

There. Now you can stop whining. I decide what I think is pathetic or crap. Not you

That defeats the purpose of your account. You are still not getting the point. You as a gamer, use your account to play those games, and build a library with it. You dont go a head, and get another account for the sake of saving money. Gamers would not abandon their account. That $15 is much convenient, to whatever steps you are suggesting.

Doesn't work given I already game share with the partner. Did that for Outriders

This is for people who already used up their conversion and need to convert more. You wouldnt need this since you subscribe monthly lol. Just let your subscription run out and do it on your regular account

See, that wasn't so hard.


MS made a deal with them. They let the game on their service. They should have been careful with that game. That doesnt take the responsibility away from them. At least delay the game, until its good.

By that logic, you were asking for Dying Light 2 earlier.

That game is also 79 on metacritic, a 'shit' game by some standards. Just a highly marketed shit game.

Would you be happier if that had come to Game Pass ? or would you complain about that too ?


And you get tons of bad news, how gamepass has shit games. Is that what you want to set for the developers? Drop shit games, so devs can fix it later, like cyberpunk2077 way? Is that what you as a gamepass user want? Because I dont want that shit.

Game Pass has really spoiled some of us with bangers after bangers that one slow month draws out responses like this.

PC version only. What would Xbox guys get? What do they get? Because gamepass is about those guys in the center, not just the pc section. This is all on MS hands.

Why does this matter ? It's still a Game Pass game. It's on the service, just on the PC platform.

Yeah but it wouldn't work for me anyway if I was going the conversion route.
What wouldnt work? You can still convert multiple times as long as you dont have an active gamepass subscription. You wouldnt need the account step.

Now the conversion price does change from .99 cents the first time to 15 the second time. Sometimes. Depends on the deal being offered, I've seen them let people convert for multiple times at 99 cents but its usually 15

By making that account your home console. Which means, you cant play your games, if the internet is out, since you need your main account on home console.

Its great idea. But with the way xbox console operates, You have to make your main account, your home console. Or else, 1 internet outage, and your games are useless.

You won't be able to launch game pass games without internet anyway, so it's a moot point.

Also, in this increasingly digital age, internet outages are incredibly rare and everyone is always connected anyway.

Don't worry i'll keep in mind that everything needs to be spelled out for you going forward

and I love you too.

Great marketing, considering the hype that game has.

That game is also 79 on metacritic, a 'shit' game by some standards. Just a highly marketed shit game.
The game has tons of contents, compared to other games. Not only that, 79 Metacritic is still great. alot of people liked the game.

Would you be happier if that had come to Game Pass ? or would you complain about that too ?
That would have been gigantic move. Highly anticipated game, which would give the service more fame. Yes, I would have liked that, compared to what we got this month.

Game Pass has really spoiled some of us with bangers after bangers that one slow month draws out responses like this.
Are you in a cave? What banger did gamepass had? Only ones ware xbox 1st party games. There wasnt alot of impressive 3rd party games. Hell, even the big guns arent even out.
People are waiting for starfield, and stalker 2. The 2 biggest games of gamepass. We are all in waiting list, while we enjoy the normal games, that are on the service.

Why does this matter ? It's still a Game Pass game. It's on the service, just on the PC platform.
It matters, because gamepass is an xbox service. Xbox guys should get the best, from the service. We pc guys are just riding the wave, and eating good. Its not fair, that we get the best, and the console doesnt get any good game.

You can't do it on that account anymore after 36 months? And as I gameshare already I can't keep making accounts to do that?
Is 36 months the issue here? What's wrong with 3 years?

And if Im not mistaken why couldnt the account you gameshare with just do the 2nd conversion if you already used up your 36 months

The extra account thing I brought up was only for people who have too much time of gamepass on their main account.

If you got that much time on your original account then I doubt your worried about minor internet outages

The service has already been out for 4 or 5 years. It's a temporary solution. Pretty sure I already wasted like 2 years of that as well already back when I used to have a gold sub lol
Nah, it's 3 years at a time. You can still convert if you did it years ago.

At this point are arguments are circular, but I just want say to reading else reading this, aint no reason to be paying 15 a month for gamepass unless you like donating money to microsoft. Shit i think there are even digital codes that give you longer time then that if you want a trial
