So fucking digital rent-a-games, why?

>>16559184

I think that's just if you want to play online, you can still do single player games without paying for Xbox (((Gold)))

>>16559184

I'm on it

>Metro Exodus

Anyone else find that interesting?

>>16559184

I think that’s for console

>>16559184

Seems to work without xbox gold. Then again MvC:I is dead as fuck

>>16559209

Because you don't anything goy, and idiots will think this amazing.

It's pretty weird to see so many games that I don't recognize in the slightest.

>>16559209

Because rental stores are dead and can't really exist anymore because of how bloated games are.

However at the same time, it's still a completely viable and arguably demanded market.

>>16559306

Don't ask questions you don't want answers to you insufferable semen guzzling nigger

Half of those games already have pc ports and the other half are complete shovelware with zero redeeming qualities.

It's actually amazing how they are pushing a service so garbage and uninteresting

>>16559321

Only games I'm seeing with any sort of relevancy are Crackdown and Forza.

>>16559321

State of decay 2 is good if you like the 1st one. Still not worth it dealing with the shitty Microsoft store though

The service appears to be similar to gametap since games are installed locally. What microsoft ought to do is reach out to companies that sell gaming pcs and provide access for 3 months for free with each pc.

>>16559184

So, if you want entire games, it's not 1$, it's 16$ then 20$.

>>16559321

Yet, it's superior to Google Stadia.

>this turd covered in beetles is better than this turd covered in worms

Truly a remarkable achievement, anon

I've only heard of like six of those games.

>>16559461

Honestly what's a bigger tragedy is that microsoft has an (original)Xbox emulator for Win10 and for whatever reason they won't just toss it on the Wangblows store.

Same with their 360 emulator.

Like, certainly there is a point to not cannibalize sales for the xbone, but it's befuddlingly retarded that Microsoft won't even try to take having a pc storefront in a meaningful direction.

>>16559461

But Phantom Dust is free to own for everybody. Game Pass subscription is not required

Best game that Microsoft (re)released in the last 9 years

<Use your active Xbox Game Pass PC Games plan membership to play PC games on Windows 10 PC

lmao no

>>16559407

You still have to pay for whatever dlc is out for that game too so let’s round it up to 35-40

>>16559592

Yeah but that's likely the floppy and impotent reason they won't do it

>you don't own anything goy

I'd acutally pay for this if

>it worked on Win7

>if it allowed crossplay with consoles

>gave me access to all the games associated with my old 360 live account

I still have IRL friends that refuse to move to PC and play on xbone. Mostly would want it for Forza and fightan. Of course they chose to be jews and none of that will ever happen.

Thankfully their shit hardware that force my friends to constantly buy controllers have convinced them all to make the move to PC when the new consoles roll out. One of them jas a huge library of digital games on live going all the way back to 2001 that he really doesn't want to part with so hopefully this service will finally convince him to stop buying their shit consoles.

$200 a year to play shit games

Dragon Warrior theme rip

This DBZ Project Z game really didn't sell much of interest with this trailer.

You need a Microsoft account/Xbox Live account (same thing) but there is no fee.

>>16569514

nigger there are people still using windows xp to this day.

>>16569580

Forgot to mention, that if you just have PC GamePass for $5, you don't need Xbox Live to play online. They're just hoping, at the moment, that most people just opt for Ultimate since it's the same cost, or cheaper, than current Xbox GamePass plus Xbox Live (on a monthly and 3 month charge).

Does anyone else feel like this steaming games crap is an attempt at fighting piracy?

>>16569644

That and to make you reliant and constantly paying for subs to play their games. They want a constant flow of money anon.

>>16569681

Well if this faggotry catches on it'll be a good excuse to start clearing out the backlog.

>>16569644

It's not game streaming. These games are locally installed on your machine.

>>16569550

Are Pajeets and dindus really human tho?

>>16569842

Gamefly is dying because nobody can get the games they want

Blockbuster's money was DVDs, and streaming ate all of their lunch. Small towns still have rental stores.

>>16559184

>Am I reading the FAQ correctly? Do you actually need to pay for Gold membership to have access to multiplayer for Xbox Game Pass PC games? Can anyone confirm?

I got a $1 Game Pass trial to play Forza Horizon 4 with a mate, don't remember signing up for any Gold shit, but we've been playing online together.

This is on PC though. Maybe on consoles you need Gold to play online with Game Pass but not on PC?

Is Microsoft actually learning from its mistakes with GFWL?

>>16572247

You never had to pay to play online with GFWL either, it was just a really annoying overlay

>>16569514

Windows 10 is a botnet and Windows 7 still gets security updates

>>16559270

it looks like almost all indie games

>>16569580

>or they're trying to sly Xbox Live onto the PC on the backend

it's not like they tried before, remember gfwl? they only dropped it because everyone was laughing in their face and told them to fuck off - but we still had to suffer through of shitty gfwl integration due to xbox and devs being cheap/lazy shits.

now people are a lot more retarded/susceptible for subscriptions and ms didn't go full retard this time, so it will probably work out. the end goal is binding everyone to windows and it's store (halo being on steam will probably still use windows services, just like gfwl life games back then) instead of just xbox they solely focused previously, since they've been eating shit since xbone launch and simply don't have the market dominance anymore. also a move to go ahead the "last console generation" thing where it's not about device but platform.

>>16575230

plus win7 with all updates installed is as much a botnet as 10 since the telemetry shit was backported.
