EVIL-C

@HunterRose I'm just learning that that New Samba de Amigo Switch title also has a VR version. 😯 That's really cool.

@Carck Nintendo never once gave even the slightest incling of an impression that they would drop out of hardware. I was there during both the GameCube and Wii U days; that was all endless speculation from writers on gaming websites, and gamers on forums speculating, all of which was completely baseless. They looked like fools then, and 10x moreso foolish now.

@InterceptorAlpha It's a shame that "Spec Ops: The Line" is one of the most generic titles ever for a game. Plus, the way it was advertised, it was depicted like your standard, cookie cutter, military TPS. Yawn... 🥱 Then one gets into it, and aside from it's solid gameplay, it's story is unbelievably awesome and indeed, subversive. The twist is completely unexpected and superbly well executed. 👏😄

Truly a shame to yet another great (and very unique) game digitally delisted, lost to the mists of time... 😭 And without any warning either. Shameful!

@Kaloudz Also, Sleeping Dogs is essentially True Crime 3. But I get it, I would like to see True Crime return, although that might have to be through Square.

@Kaloudz Well, V8 was Activision, which is now A-B, so I think it still counts? 😂

I'm still heartbroken V8 Arcade isn't BWC. 😭

@Kaloudz I will throw Vigilante 8 onto your list of otherwise wonderful remasters that would be so joyous to see. 😍

From NFL to Blizzard? 😐🤨 Well, there is the significant dudebro crossover...

@himynameishank Was just gonna say, they're 40% for me as well and I still have GP for like 2 days.

@rustyduck Most clueless comment in this entire thread. The mistake was going for Fortnite aesthetics.

@Kaloudz Well, the debut trailer for Lost Crown had absolutely horrible music. And many were still upset/confused over the disappearance of the Sands of Time remake, given how terrible it was looking. But fortunately, Lost Crown seems to be a winner. 🙂 POP may finally be heading for a renaissance.

As Bobby and Lulu were closely connected, I'm thrilled to see both those dirtbags gone. Good riddance.

After I save, I shut down, so I don't use it, as most modern games are either constantly Auto saving or give you the option to manually save when you want.

@Beetlebum91 I too missed out on Armed & Dangerous before the delisting! 😭💔

Would it kill Lucasarts/Disney/MS or whoever to put Clone Wars and ROTS on sale for once too, along with the other Star Wars games on sale? 😢

Reminding the Xbox community of happier times, perhaps...? 🙏🥺❤️

With tax, this is still around $200 in Canada for 1TB. That's ridiculous. 😫

I haven't played it but that does seem legitimacy sus... 🤔

@senote Include "conspiratorial, hypocritical, ultra right-wing MAGA-simp" Muskrat.

Muskrat can "look into it", and by it I mean selling Twitter before he destroys it completely.

Lol wow, that game looks awful, yet I can't help be intrigued by how bad it looks,. 🤣

Series X for (most) multiplats.
PS5 for exclusives.
This is the way. 🧐

We all want MGS4 ported to modern consoles/PC. Toss in Twin Snakes and GBC Ghost Babel, and that's a day 1 buy easily. 😍 🤤

@shoeses @old-dad For $2 I grabbed Alice, plus it comes with the original game as free DLC, which I never played either. 😊

Since MS now owns Activision, bring back Vigilante 8!!! At least remaster V8 Arcade and save it before it's delisted. 🙏🥺

An absolute scumbag.

@JoakimZ Yes that's true, although surely if there's any internal comms going back and forth, MS could suggest to a publisher that a sale/discount is warrented. Purely speculation, mind you.

@NorthwestEagle There are literally hundreds that either never go on sale, or its been years since their last drop. MS has a lot to work with if they so choose.

@Fiendish-Beaver Are you forgetting magazines and Player's Guides? They helped me! 😂

@Utena-mobile Uh, there was both a Nintendo Direct and a PS State of Play on the same day.

@Utena-mobile No, if it's not on the modern store or on the old 360 Marketplace, then there's unfortunately no way to buy it digitally anymore. I was in the same boat with Splinter Cell just last week, so I went and bought a physical copy for $6.

Mine has been off since day 1. Just another thing that can go wrong. Rule #1 of gaming: SAVE OFTEN!

A good decision. Alan and Spidey are absolute juggernauts.

@ArmoredMore I'm fully agnostic on Bethesda and the hype around SF. I thought the showcase had some interesting stuff, but didn't make me want to buy it day 1. Of my two friends who were very hyped for SF and like Bethesda titles, one enjoys it, the other requested a refund a few days after playing it. So, there's that.

@ArmoredMore If Starfield can't even get a fast travel system right, as all open world games should have (preferably with a few menu clicks) perhaps it's best for some like myself to wait until a sale before trying it. Here's when game pass is perfect for this type of game and players like myself.

Every open world game needs a fast travel system. Starfield is no different.

@RetroMan71 You're welcome. I have a large collection of 360 games from GWG and I'd be enraged if I lost access to them, lol. 😅😂

@RetroMan71 "and the Xbox 360 games will actually be available to you regardless of whether you have a subscription or not."

360 Games will always work, regardless of subscription.

@somnambulance Fair enough, lol. 🙂👍 The only forms I too even semi-regularly post on is within this family of sites.

@Lightweight Ouch, it sounds like such a broken system. I remember a few years ago, my PSN account was banned for 3 days. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I hadn't played online recently, or communicated with any one random around the time. I've had the same benign, official Sony avatar for years. I've never played on a hacked console. It's bizarre. I'm thinking a lot of these triggers are automatic, like when one submits an essay and the school's system auto-checks it for plagerism, sources sometimes are flagged despite it being cited correctly.

@somnambulance Missed the part where I said "online gaming", I see. 😋

As that one screenshot suggested, don't communicate with randos. This will solve many of one's online gaming problems.

@Boldfoxrd Same. I could never play it back in the day cause it skipped the GameCube.

Losing Vigilante 8 Arcade is one of the saddest casualties of the store closure announcement. Why this was never made BWC I'll never understand. 😭

@Xbox_Dashboard @Snake_V5 Lots more games have been delisted recently I've noticed, like Unreal Championship 2, Armed and Dangerous, a few Splinter Cells, to name a small few. Very worrying... 😰

@XboxTheBestBox Slight visual upgrades are nice, sure, as are frame rate boosts, but no, the concept of BWC existed long before HDR was a thing.

And again, quick resume reduces loading times....and then... ? It has nothing to do with the concept of BWC.

I gave a substantive example of some Xbox games being lost in 2024 with the 360 store closure, and you chose to highlight HDR and Load times...

@Kevw2006 Made a valid, concurring point. I think my work here too is done. As I suggested, don't assume.

@XboxTheBestBox

Quick resume and Auto-HDR has nothing to do with BWC.

Unless you missed it, there won't be any more updates this generation. Will that always be the case? Hopefully not (my personal guess is no), and hopefully BWC will improve with Xbox 5th gen, but don't just blindly assume it's set in stone.
We're also about to lose a number of XB360 games next year when the 360 store shuts down. That's not a win for game preservation. If it wasn't released on disc, and it doesn't work on the modern Xbox store, then bye-bye to those games. 👋
These companies will do what's best for themselves, not us, at the end of the day.

@XboxTheBestBox Things may change in the near future, since they're not actively pursuing BWC anymore, at least not publicly.

@BrilliantBill This should've happened ages ago, years before the buyout.

And still no Switch version either, despite 100M+ sales. "Grow the install base first", my ass.

@Trmn8r You can be a proud tin foil hat model... RTFM.

@dreadful Cute way to call someone a p-y. Life and ones actions have consequences, something ppl like you don't and will never understand. The real thin-skinned crybabies are individuals who think they can do whatever they want. Thanks for outing yourself. 😉

@Atlis54 You may have just outed yourself. The wild west of Xbox (or any platform) chat is one of the main reasons many like myself don't use it with randos. I see no issue with this. Private platform, private rules. Deal with it.
