The first one is pretty neat, but I'll stick with the 360-themed background.

@GamingFan4Lyf That actually is pretty cool, I had no idea! I doubt it would be implemented in a similar fashion with OD, but I hope I'm wrong. Guess we can do nothing but speculate for now 🤷‍♂️

That trailer didn't do anything for me, but reading they are using Xbox Cloud Gaming alone makes this one a HARD pass.

If their justification of empty space is realism, I start to side with Gabe Newell: "...I have never thought to myself that realism is fun. I go play games to have fun." I actually do like certain aspects of Starfield, but as a whole I found it a tad underwhelming.

Dead Rising 3 was the sole reason I ended up getting an Xbone later down the line (and before I had a gaming PC). Despite its MANY flaws (though not as many as DR4), there's still fun to be had, and the boss music still slaps.

gazes deeply into crystal ball This will have a low install base on release, and despite gathering a cult following, it won't be enough to cover the server costs, and shortly after they struggle to deliver the amount of content they have already announced, just like Babylon's Fall, the game will become dust in the wind.

The Xbox 360 era is second to none in my book. I'm nostalgic for the original "blades" theme, and releases like Dead Rising and Halo 3 getting tons of promotional download trailers, demos, and G4 TV spots was a lot of fun. The red rings were horrible, sure, but the fond memories outweigh that inconvenience.

I remember when I took my first 360 (still pretty new for me at the time) on vacation to Colorado, excited to play Dead Rising in the down time. The first night I plugged it in, it red ringed after about 15 minutes and I was crushed 🤣

@ParsnipHero You said it! It's great to see Infinite on the upswing. PvE making a return is huge! I'm also very excited for Mtn Dew Game Fuel's return, I'm very nostalgic for that Halo 3 flavor 😆

The big wigs that are publicly against Game Pass so far are also people that happen to be mocked/strongly disliked by the gaming community as a whole. Perhaps it's not a coincidence?

I still play Flight Simulator pretty regularly, especially weekend mornings when I can sip hot coffee and relax to the hum of a plane. Updates like these are awesome and a good reminder that I need to branch out with my flight paths outside of areas I'm familiar with 😅

@UnusedBabyWipes No it did not, nor did any of the added MP equipment such as shroud screen.

@DropaBombOnEm This exactly. People seem to overlook this fact constantly when defending "always online". It's not a matter of having a constant internet connection (obviously in the modern era that's no problem), its these games having a very finite lifespan that they can be accessed/played.

Sticking with my vanilla Series S. Maybe on a black Friday sale I'll consider one of the expensive expansion cards.

Tenchu Z, Dead Rising 2 (for 360, so save data can be imported from Case Zero), and the four Penny Arcade Rain Slick Precipice games come to mind.

Oof, was pretty interested until the multiplayer extraction bit. I like the campaign of the originals, so I'll give this one a pass.

When I got the Xbox One past it's "prime" I enjoyed the hell out of Dead Rising 3 and Sunset Overdrive on it. I still used Game Pass occasionally on that VHS player-sized brick until I upgraded to a Series S for Halo Infinite 😆

@BBB Good to know, and I appreciate the reply! I'm also glad that I wasn't the only one experiencing this 😆 It was definitely unexpected because Trackmania Turbo rarely had this issue, so I think they could work on better signs/arrows on the track itself so we don't have to resort to trial and error constantly.

When I played the beta for Trackmania I kept having constant issues with track legibility, as it wasn't always easy to tell which direction I was meant to turn on more complicated courses. It's not something I have encountered on previous Trackmania titles, so here's hoping that got addressed.

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.
