Re: These 10+ Xbox 360 Classics Are Closing Their Servers This Year

I got the 2 in AC3 this week that I gave up on 8 years ago. Level 20 in mp and the synch points from after beating the story. I got them out the way quickly but good luck to others. I'm just glad I got the ones that needed more people in 2014.

I wonder how long til AC4 gets shut down. Another year? Longer?

Re: Talking Point: Did The Series X|S Bring You Back To Xbox? If So, How Come?

I loved the 360 but the disaster of the x1 launch put me entirely into ps4 camp. I used my wife's x1 for about 4 exclusives and in 2019 after I finished Ori and the story in a lot of 360 games, I declared I was done with MS forever (unless the next console did something special) and come October I will be buying one and not a ps5.

It's a mixture of things. Exclusive future games by Bethesda and Obsidian, the look of the consoles, the fact that xbox live is still the best service, their respect for fans abd most of all, their dedication to game preservation and getting so many games from different eras working and in some cases improved, eg Fable 1 which I never even finished on 360. I still have the 360 for the games that are not compatible eg Tales of Vesperia but I love the work they put in.
Oh and gamepass lol.

Xbox is finally the console of choice to me again and im looking forwards to getting one in October for plague tale 2 as well as a lot of recent games like fallen order and assassin's Creed valhalla that I've saved to take advantage of better load times and whatever else it does.

So respect MS. You'll never get ff7 by the looks of it but my wife plans to get a ps5 one day so I don't mind.

Re: Rumour: Gears Of War 'Collection' Could Be Coming To Xbox This Year

Bring it on but just the 360 games please. I always hated that 4 made the locust come back more powerful than ever. It kind of made all the deaths and sacrifices for nothing, not to mention the changes made in the new games like how long the locust were alive for.

But I would be tempted and if they released a special edition console like the red 360 when gears 3 came out, I would finally upgrade.

Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Includes A 'Mumble Mode' For Old Times' Sake

I love the mumbles. I'm so glad they are back. But originally mumbles just didn't go over where they would talk. They used physical comedy as well.

Vader didn't just mumble I am your father so Luke would then try to kill himself.

My only worry is we will lose glorious scenes like Vader pulling out his proof of parentage just to mumble and that the mumbles just won't be as funny.
