You could skip the cutscenes in MP1 and 2 so they actually got worse as they progressed.

Someone who doesn't have much time to game probably isn't going to get $120 of value out of Video Game Golden Corral in a year

If I go through 2 games a month, that's $5 a game. That's a good value for me, since I do not follow blogs and wishlists and sales and poo poo to try and catch a game at the lowest price.
I am working my way through Fallout 4, played a couple XBox arcade games i missed, and have Wasteland 2, Hitman, Doom, Rise of Tomb Raider, and like 4 other games i want to play. This feels like a lot of gaming to me. Sorry.

At a rate of two games per month you're going to run out of actually-worthwhile games fairly quickly. And that's fine! Just turn off the subscription. As I've said before, a month of GamePass is a good deal. A year is not.

Both are extemely correct statements. If MP3 had cutscene skip itd probably beat out MP1 and 2 and be like a top 5 game for me.

Instead MP3 was coded by assholes

If you skip any of Max's monologues in MP3 you're missing out on the funniest VG writing there's ever been. It was good and right of them to stop you.

Call of Duty games have this too. I wanted to show my brother the D-Day mission when he was visiting and we had to sit through like 10 minutes of in-game cut scenes that are not skippable.

Neat, can finally try Quantum Break without buying it. Also some of the other stuff looks interesting.

Yeah off-and-on is how you do GamePass. Do those $1 months, pay sticker for a month if an exclusive ever comes out on it, turn it off when you're done. It's a good deal when you do it like that.

Yeah, I'm in the middle of 4 months of game pass which I will have paid 2 dollars for. At this price, it is really amazing. I'm still not sure I'd ever want to consistently pay 10 a month for it. But I think I'd be in consistently for discounted prices, just like I do with gold. Looks like the 6 month code has dropped to 30 dollars before on Amazon. That seems fine.

All access is a really good deal especially for people grabbing the 1S. I have a buddy who still plays Ps2 and Ps3 and is going to do the all access deal and he seems plenty excited? He gets a new console and literally doesn't have to buy a single game, there is so much on gamepass for him to catch up on.

It's like the price of going out to eat once or twice or seeing two movies (before food) I literally don't understand why everyone is so mad?

Yes you can save money by waiting for deals and fronting the console price up front but some people don't give a poo poo and just want to game.
I think everyone needs to chill and play some games.

lol I've had my bone for almost exactly one year ago as a backup for when my wife wanted to play PS4 and to check out Forza again, got over gamepass in the time it took for a month trial to end and cancelled live last month because I don't play Madden anymore and everything has a bigger playerbase on playstation. If I was stuck paying 20 dollars a month for this thing and not even a single exclusive game to look forward to for another year I would be livid.

I figured there were plenty of folks like you out there, that is who I was thinking the new thing worked out great for.

If I never managed to find a good deal on these things I'd maybe consider it. But it is super easy for me to just have alerts set on something like camelcamelcamel, and once in awhile the price drops, I buy it and enter the code and I'm good for another year. I mean, when talking xbox live specifically, if you paid 10 dollars a month for that rather then the not on sale 60 dollars a year for buying 12 months at a time, you are throwing a new game worth of money away every year.
