I think most people would agree ps+ has a better selection of games on it tbh
And it's just a straight fact that it has more games

I really dont understand what you are getting at with that one?

This is what I hate about these subscriptions, it's always games I have no interest in and the games I want are not on the subscription until after I bought them, so when they are finally of the subscription it doesn't matter because I already bought the game and played it. So at the moment this renders the subscription service of any kind useless.

Yeah, I'm not resubbing anytime soon. I'll just buy Starfield (and actually own it) and call it a day (or a year).

What's the general consensus of regular Game Pass users about the quantity and quality of Game Pass games in 2023?
I've been saying negative comments about Game Pass quantity/quality of games more and more.

Yeah no but it’s been discussed to death already so we’re not getting into this again.
There’s no general consensus obviously but imo it’s been really good, finished 8 GP games this year so far.

True.
I'm using the PS+ Premium subscription as basically for backlog and games I didn't purchase.
Because of limited gaming budget, I buy 2-3 games on day one (on average) and 4-6 games on sale every year. In between those purchases, I use the PS+ Catalog to bide my time.
For instance, I bought Hogwarts in February, Horizon Burning Shores in April, and will buy Final Fantasy XVI. Between Horizon and FFXVI, I've finished Ghostwire Tokyo, Devil May Cry 5, and Doom 2016 from PS+. Currently playing FFVII Remake Intergrade from PS+ Extra.
You can probably use it the same way.

Which one was your favorite this year?

I thought it was overrated at first. Now, it's just mediocre. PS+ gets less credit, but if you were to get on both today and look at the games, PS+ Extra easily has GP beat, in my honest opinion.
The sticking point seems to be day one AAA first-party releases. But, after the last few years, those have been few and far between, at least good ones.

Think a lot of folks have forgotten that it's almost June.. Showcase is weeks away. Not too much of a stretch to assume some upcoming GP drops are being saved for that event to announce.
If you're looking for something to play though check out Planet of Lana. It's everything Somerville should have been. So good.

I agree. I could subscribe to both, but I only sub to PS+. It's more than enough. Besides, I like buying and owning my games.
Game Pass is great for day one indies, but I don't play indies as much. There are only a few indies that I absolutely adore, and I make sure to buy them: Hollow Knight, Hades, etc.
Not as good as 2022 on the indie front but hard to be when you had vampire survivor, norco and signalis.
I still have finished 7 games on GP this year, favourite would be Hifi Rush, followed by Planet of Lana. I haven't gotten to Atomic Heart or the other game that's escaping my brain.
My key one from this batch
Chicory: A Colorful Tale Reviews
Something terrible happened. Chicory, superstar artist and wielder of the Brush, is missing, and all the color in the land vanished with her. It's up to you, Chicory's number one fan, to pick up the Brush and fill in for her. It's a big job but you're ready for it! Probably! Chicory: A Colorful...

I've yet to start Planet of Lana but have heard good things about it. Too bad there is no combat as I much prefer games with at least some form of combat.
Been busy with Convergence (on the indie side / before bed gameplay).

Yeah, Silksong is a legit good get. Paying for GP for years for it is kinda pointless, though. Especially, when I'll buy it on either Switch or SteamDeck for portability, anyway.
Want to get into the LoL spin offs, bought mageseeker but struggling to.
Humanity is also a good game for short sessions but no combat, still got tension though.

That’s a terrible line up.

I can’t choose just one but the two favorites would be Everspace 2 and Wo Long.
I also really enjoyed Ghostwire Tokyo but it’s slightly less good due to a bit of open world bloat.

Finished Ghostwire Tokyo earlier this month. Wo Long / Souls type games aren't really my thing. But EverSpace 2 is in my backlog, installed. I'll give it a go sometime soon. Thanks!

True but a lot of those old backlog games I can pick up on a summer sale for under $10 so I rather outright own them. Know what I mean?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That's how most people should use it. No one should expect a dozen brand new 2, 3 month old games on a sub service every announcement in good faith.

I have an idea, wake up and stop...you are bleeding money and perhaps it is an idea to just do it. Its the power of this kind of "services" is when you have them you pay them without thinking..even if you barly use them. So get a grip and stop

People were raving early on this year. I’d wait until after their conference to make a determination.

I don't think I have ever seen OG Xbox games in regular game pass drops in forever, so it's probably a safe bet to buy them. Same for MP3, it's on such a low sale right now anyway.

This bodes well. Maybe they've added ray tracing this time.Yeah, they are now recycling content it seems. It left in Feb 2022:

It's not the first time a game has come back. I believe GTAV has popped in a couple of times, Yakuza 0 left and came back. In the case of Hypnospace, it's probably coming back because SlayersX is a Hypnospace spinoff, plus they have a sequel called DreamSettlers coming out at some point so they probably would like more people to have played the first so they can get into the new one.Yeah, they are now recycling content it seems.

I don't really get the concern over Game Pass getting repeats? This is like being upset that Friends is coming back to Netflix.

It's good in a vacuum, especially compared to PS+ last year at this timeframe, but looking at this month's lineup, more than half the games they've added are already in or have been on game pass before.

I haven't seen anything on there worth my time since Two Point Campus. I used to look forward to seeing what was coming to GP, now I couldn't give less of a fuck. I'm subbed through to next March though so hopefully they'll turn it around.
