Good luck with that, Ubisoft 💀

@FirstNameMister That's an over-analysis if ever there was one. The headline just provides context to what game they're talking about (as most patrons of this site would have played it via Game Pass).

Well I hope people have fun with this before the servers are taken down and the game can no longer be played.

Best thoughts and wishes to the people let go 😔

Solid picks. My list would include Dead Rising, Lost Planet 2, Marble Blast Ultra, and Tenchu Z as well as some of the ones mentioned in this article.

I'm more of an Instincts Predator fan, but using the bow in 3 was lots of fun.

The original Sonic Adventure will always be one of my favorite games of all time, jank and all.

Still requires XBL Gold despite being free 😑

What sold me on the S is the compact size and performance boost compared to the chunky original Xbone that it ended up replacing on my shelf.

Isn't it way too late at this point...? They're about to post Forge Mode built in slipspace. Campaign is built in slipspace. Two (going on three) seasons of multiplayer are in slipspace. This wouldn't make any sense.

Probably Kirby Super Star on SNES for me 🤔

I'll never forget you, Midnight Club.

I was honestly satisfied with using my OG Xbox One for Game Pass until things started taking too long to boot, and I found out the trade-in value would pay off half of a new Series S, so it was worth every penny in the end.

Saints Row 2 is a joy but I already paid 1.49 for it on a sale.

@iplaygamesnstuff Oh absolutely! For me it signals I wasn't the last one to use the TV when that booming intro is 10+ volume levels higher than usual.

@iplaygamesnstuff It's glorious. Like when people blasted that THX sound before a film 😆

This is a lot of paragraphs for a gag 😆

@mousieone Yeah Heroes Paradise is an interesting port, but to my knowledge not BC with Xbone/Series. They literally ported the other games to Steam, so maybe they could still get ported (hopefully not riding the sales of 3 to determine).

Bizarre that this would be ported but not the previous three games. Sadly as an adamant fan of the series, 3 is my least favorite. The combat is quick and enjoyable and the writing is as silly as ever, but the bulk of the game is generally a drag. Like they learned nothing from previous entries.

@joey302 Yes! I especially spent a lot of time passing the controller between friends as we competed for the best completion times.

Hexic HD, Castle Crashers, Dead Rising 2 Case Zero and West, DOOM, Doritos Crash Course, Marble Blast Ultra, N+, and Penny Arcade Adventures (1 and 2) are definitely my favorites.

Got an external 500 GB hard drive hooked up for the non-Series optimized titles and otherwise haven't had any issues! I regularly delete larger games that I don't use to ensure I have space for Game Pass curios.

@Blessed_Koz Maybe we need to get to more intense moments, like a boss battle? I just read the Push Square review and they said they also had dips, so it must be prevalent somewhere...

I'm less sensitive to framerate issues, but I feel like ray tracing on RE2 runs perfectly fine on PS5 (I arguably play Series more), so it's interesting to hear the performance takes such a blow here. Hopefully something Capcom can improve through patches.

I was under the impression there were less than 10 more-carefully crafted planets. This news has me concerned.

I'm the Revelations 1% lol Hard to choose between Revelations, 2, and 4, so I went with the one I knew would have lowest votes.

Fall Guys Forge Mode?! Yes please.

Nostalgia overload. Having the wallpaper themes and custom menu backgrounds was my favorite part of the blades.

Such a cool update. Flood and Elites in ODST Firefight and acrophobia skull in Halo 2 and ODST is a lot of fun.

After completing the battle pass and most events I've taken a break from Infinite, but I look forward to when this releases for sure.

This from the guys behind renaming the game PUBG: Battlegrounds, so if they can't even get that right, NFTs are for them.

@Dm9982 Dark Souls is indeed a rabbit hole of a series, once you're sucked in, you're in for good. Wikis, theories, etc. Lol
But that's awesome, I'll be playing Witcher alongside Cyberpunk after I play through the rest of the Yakuza series (working on 4 rn).

@Banjo- Absolutely. MH is the king of the genre by far, and deservedly so for that reason. Each entry has charming little details to enjoy when you aren't actively slaying.

@Dm9982 That's completely understandable. God Eater requires mounds of patience to get invested in, and even then you'll still get burned out faster than any Monster Hunter.
So from that, I still haven't progressed through half of 2 yet to see 3, and my backlog continues to grow as well (including Witcher 3 lol). And I'm on board with the tutorials thing too, the best ones don't interrupt the gameplay or force monotony onto you, but are offered as optional windows or flow naturally at the start of the game (the first Dark Souls comes to mind there).

@Dm9982 God Eater has about as many pros as it has cons. Playing through the first game's (3!) stories co-op felt like an eternity, and there's so much repetition when you aren't changing up weapon types and custom bullets. 2 is almost more of a slog (less QOL since it only got one expansion unlike 1), and 3 is the shortest but easiest pill to swallow due to better balancing, pacing, and overall QOL changes.

Too freaking much 😵 Lost Planet Colonies and 2, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Unleashed, and Timesplitters 2. No regerts.

That's the true purpose of the Series X grating on the top- to dispense fries.

Jumped on Crazy Taxi and Sonic Unleashed. Probably add Timesplitters 2 to the list too.

Too bad the Otogi games aren't included, but there's still far too many tempting buys here! RIP bank account.
Also how is Gunvalkyrie? Is it like any other titles, or very unique in it's design?

Hitman Trilogy is a must. Rainbow Six Extraction doesn't deserve the Tom Clancy association, regardless of how fun the game may be 😒

Played a few Halo 3 matches yesterday and totally forgot about the aiming reticle offset. Ended up being way too jarring and I went back to MCC. RIP 360 servers, but I'll always have those rose-tinted memories of the Halo 3 heyday to keep me warm.

Elden Ring and Starfield for sure, though it'll be via PC.

It would be neat to see an armor coating with a yellow helmet and primarily black/grey armor for that Celty vibe 😺🏍️

I do generally consider anything from IGN to be on par with Kotaku (ie worthless), but nothing about this game looked original from the start...I'm still hoping to be convinced otherwise.

Playing on OG Xbox One when away from PC and it's been working perfectly fine so far.

Harrumph! Now I'll have to wait a bit to play it 😤 Good thing I planned ahead and got the whole day open 😉

They're all solid, but Future Perfect gets top marks from me. The mini-game challenges, crazy cheats, and multiplayer map maker are a ton of fun, especially with friends.

Before the inevitable review-bombing? 85-90.

Why would they put a delisted game on sale? I was really considering MGS HD now that I'm spending more time on Xbox One lately 😔

@Generik It's really only worth it if you want to skip to level 25 of the battle pass and get those cosmetics immediately. If nothing sticks out to you in that range, then probably not.
I bought the standard pass to support the game's early release (and to actually get cosmetics every now and then), but personally I'd recommend holding off until they actually make the grind more worth it.
