This isn't a bad game on Series X but the inconsistent difficulty spikes combined with the minutes long loading times made this an abysmal experience on Xbox One. And scenes like the sex scene in the mini pod were pure cringe.

I really don't get why this game enjoys such a great reputation.

Can't help but notice that any comment pointing out that this review is eerily similar to over half the other reviews posted to metacritic - complete with several phrases like "return to form" repeated throughout each of these reviews - is being deleted within minutes of being posted. Very classy Purexbox.

Combine that with the absolutely horrendous cutscenes making their way around social media, and it's obvious there's some form of collusion going on here.

Wonder how long before the shills on this site delete my comment too? Can't have users pointing this stuff out to other wayward sheeple can we?

Borderlands has been dead since the sacrilegious boxart of the 3rd game. Any series that goes out of its way to attack Christians without also attacking Jews, Muslims, and atheists isn't even worth the effort it takes to scrape it from the bottom of my shoe.

Anybody else mess with the mods yet? I got this on both Switch and Series X, and will let you download tons of mods that apparently the game can't run on either console. While I adore the mod support, a way to filter between what can/can't be run on console would be phenomenal.

@themightyant
Don't be so sure, it was just a year or two ago that Microsoft disabled the ability to use points towards an Xbox Design Labs controller. If you want a custom controller now you have to pay in full without using rewards.

@FraserG It's not as simple as cutting prices on everything to the current store - this is why we only have a certain number of sales. Rights and wishes of publishers and licensing agreements are holding many titles back.

I agree that ports would be nice though!

@Xbox_Dashboard

Launch debacle aside Xbox One was really great. You just had to have enough of a brain to turn off the mainstream gaming media and any other Sony worshippers and objectively look at what each company offers.

I will gladly take Forza Horizon, GoW, and MCC.over a company that churns out woke propaganda like Sony

That's not the Banjo I want from a Rare game.....

These are a cool concept but why does it always default to the LGBTP one? Very anti-Christian Microsoft!

What they really need are more Bethesda based backgrounds.

Hard to take anything Phil tweets seriously with that ridiculous logo.

@Ephexis83
Didn't they already port Diablo 1 into Diablo 3? Never had a clear understanding of how that worked though.

@Kaloudz
Say it with me...... "$10 a month is not free"

@Kaloudz Considering how overrated Limbo was, he obviously recognizes that he won't be much of a success without getting the money upfront. His games make for nice trailers and fancy cutscenes but aren't exactly good in terms of gameplay.

Surprised there is so much support for this. Gears 3 was one of, if not the best BC enhanced game in the entire BC catalog. Will remaking these games really be necessary when Ultimate/2/3/4 all got 4K upgrades already?

@GiveMeMoney If they do that I suspect all of our GwG collections will be gone for good. Those games are contingent on having an active Gold membership. I do have a few that I still play through/intend to play like Resident Evil and Dead Rising. I might be willing to trade them for free online multiplayer, but if they aren't gonna do that they REALLY need to make GwG worthwhile.

I would be happy except I already bought Star Wars Racer.

Wow, that really sucks for anybody who doesn't have GPU. It's not like people without GPU were swimming in chances to earn points anyways.

@Krzzystuff. I did that..... Two and a half years ago. The time flies by quicker than you realize.

Judgement was my first Gears game period and I loved it. What's wrong with it exactly?

Skip Wolfenstein 2. My complaints about Wolfenstein's pro Nazi leanings aside, Wolfenstein 2 is a failure in design. The difficulty curve is ridiculously scattered all over the place, ensuring nobody will have a good time with a reasonable challenge. T

he game also runs into frequent graphical glitches and insanely long loadtimes on older Xbox Ones, although to be fair these issues disappeared when I tried the game on Series X.

"more Nazis to batter to a pulp than you could ever wish for - something that feels even better than usual given the current rise in popularity of some of their idiotic ways of thinking."

No sir, you dont get to make a baseless statement like that without providing context or getting called out. Exactly where is this current rise in popularity of Nazi ideals?

Besides, if anything Wolfenstein is pro Nazi propoganda. They show a world where the survivors live in a clean, technologically advanced environment and mankind has already colonized not just the Moon but Venus. The implication being that Nazi ideals work for mankind. Horrifying.... But maybe not something I would expect to be caught by a Twitter banned alarmnist.

Oh, and Deathloop sucks. The graphics are great but the complete lack of checkpoints coupled with the fact that your new game can be invaded by some maxed out superplayer results in a game that has absolutely no respect for a players time or the repetitiveness of grinding out the same missions in the same locales constantly.

Surprised for all the love Doom 3 gets here. I think it could me modded and tweaked into something worthwhile but as it stands the current release kinda sucks. Nerfed shotgun, crappy versions of the Doom enemies (they look fine in still artwork I guess), pretty bland story, and crappy survival horror mechanics.

I loved it when it first came out but it really hasn't aged well. Loved Doom 2016 to death though.

@theduckofdeath Nope. Forget that they are a billion dollar company to whom this is a drop in the ocean, and forget that most people will need to buy a GPU subscription to even have a chance at a lot of these. Tons of people just use points to get discounted games (games they may not have bought otherwise). Plenty of people also donate their points, which helps Microsoft as a tax write-off (something they would do anyways even without the points program so it literally costs them nothing). Plus it's free publicity and greatly increases engagement with the Bing/Xbox ecosystem. And only the most hardcore (us) really come close to using this program to it's full potential; plenty of people don't complete every quest. Finally plenty of people buy stuff they wouldn't otherwise just to get those "buy $50 of movies to get 5000 bonus points" they offer, or buy something digitally because they get points back for the purchase

Even if you are right and the rewards program doesn't generate profit (and who knows for sure one way or the other) it's still valuable for the goodwill it provides to the fanbase. And everytime somebody posts a weekly/monthly quest guide to a craphole like reddit or a site like true achievements that's free advertising for GPU and potentially more subscribers, while encouraging others to play games they wouldn't otherwise and thereby increasing reliance on GPU for gaming.

So no, MS by no means has to devalue the program. As I said before, this program is a huge part of why I play Xbox over Switch or Steam but if they devalue it anymore then it really won't be worth my time and I will no longer feel pressured to turn on the Xbox every day. That means less time in the Xbox store, more time on the Switch eShop. I am certain I am not alone in this.

@PhileasFragg Yeah, at this point it's very close to not being worth my effort at all. It's a real shame as the rewards program is a huge factor in my spending so much more time/money on Xbox vs Switch or Steam.

I wouldn't brag about this until after Games with Gold is fixed.

I would be excited, or at least give a care, if they would find a way to incorporate my WiiU and mobile purchases. But I refuse to invest anymore into a system that won't transfer my purchases.

Is something wrong with Hisense U8G? It seems more advanced than the hose se you chose to list.

@Banjo- I literally just bought Sonic 2 with 3D enhancements on 3DS a few days ago. And I just saw it come up as "recommended" in the Windows store for Xbox. And it's in plenty of collections

In B4 "durr hurr it's a remaster not a port becuz raisons". From what I am seeing you may be able to make that argument with Sonic 1, but not Sonic 2/3 and CD. And even then I would consider it more rom hack than remaster.

Hopefully I am wrong but this does look pricey for what it is. Why can't they include the Game Gear games or Knuckles Chaotic?

If whiny PlayStation owners wanna play Ori so much let them pay Microsoft for GPU and stream it via the cloud.

Do you guys not have phones?

@Murray This is Thomas Mahler. I would VERY much bet he takes the money and goes exclusive. I mean he halfway did with Ori, with the 4K HDR version exclude to Xbox.

And using his argument why stop there? What about mobile players? What about Mac? What about N-Gage owners?

And using Minecraft as a false equivalency is extremely disingenuous of him. He knows damn well the myriad of reasons why something like Minecraft made it to Sony platforms while Ori didnt.

Guy sounds more like a troll than a CEO. You would expect more intelligence from a guy running a company.

@Bleachedsmiles Considering that the Xbox One is home to some of the greatest games ever made, this statement comes off as beyond moronic.

@Axlroselm @gollumb82 Yep, it's nice to know some people in the industry aren't lazy do nothing's taking in paychecks for nothing. Amazing work Xbox team!

I wouldn't say all the great titles are here (Hulk UD, Lollipop Chainsaw, ect) but this has been amazing nonetheless.
