Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I bought this thinking i could play the games I OWN online but no, this is the stupidest thing known to gaming. I don't even play cloud gaming or play my Xbox games on pc. Whats the point of having this as an option if i cant even play multiplayer? Some people dont want to pay 14.99 a month just to play their own games with other people, it just doesnt make sense. Waste of $30
BOGO FREE! How can you not get that deal? Xbox Game Pass in itself is already one heck of a deal with Microsoft first party games being released day-one on to the platform, but also getting support by recently released Square Enix games (as well as other publishers) such as Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Just Cause 4. Xbox Game Pass is ideal for any gamer who has a limited budget, but can still play quality titles in the Xbox ecosystem. I personally use it to demo the latest and greatest Xbox titles, but also ones I might have passed up like Quantum Break, Guacamelee!, Hellblade, Devil May Cry 4, Life is Strange, Ori and the Blind Forest, ReCore, We Happy Few, etc.
Possibly one of the hidden features.. if you already have a physical copy of a game on their list, it basically turns the game in to a digital purchase (while you have an active account on Game Pass and the game license hasn't run out). I tend to favor those games more than other physical games that I have due to the ease of use. I've actually purchased more titles after playing them on Game Pass than if I hadn't.
As a hardcore gamer that has gotten older and had kids, my priorities have unfortunately changed, resulting in much less time playing Xbox than I used to have. I found that I was playing many games months to years after they released and don't have consistent time to keep up with every new release that I like. I just gave Xbox Game Pass a go because I saw they have many AAA and indie games that I'd love to play and never got to. I'll never get to all of them, but it's awesome being able to try a game and decide it's not worth playing in the limited time I have, and just moving on to something else. And they had new games every month and, while they also take games out, they seem to add more than they take out. Last I checked the service has 193 games but is advertised as 100+ games. Not including games I've tried and moved on from, so far I've played Rocket League, Riptide Renegade and have already installed Hitman, Tomb Raider, The Division and Gears of War 4. It's going to be hard deciding which to play next! For $10/month, I don't see myself buying a game for a while
As someone who has a hard time choosing what to play and an even harder time getting myself to finish games, GamePass has been nice to have. I can play a bit of a game, and drop it whenever it stops clicking for me without feeling like I wasted money on purchasing it if I don't like it.
