EVIL-C

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.

Muskrat is a moron. Twitter is dying. Almost party time. 🎉

@Krysus Agreed. I rarely pay for GPU, so seeing every other MS story is "GP this, GP that", I honestly don't give a 💩. I love the feature, but MS need not be a one-trick pony with a single notable feature.

One of Microsoft's worst decisions was to end the BWC program. The final update was amazing with games like Timesplitters 2 and 3, and that should have continued with XSX.

@MaccaMUFC There was a ; after Capcom. The comment was framed as if it was addressed directly to Capcom themselves. Perhaps "Two words to Capcom; Dino Crisis" would've been more clear. I just want a new Dino Crisis! 😍

@Jark Neither, the C is taken from my name. I've used such a variation of this nickname online for over 20 years. No reason to stop now.

Two words, Capcom; Dino Crisis. 🦕

Ubisoft hasn't got a damn clue what their fans want. We can't have BG&E2. We can't have a new Rayman. We can't have a new Splinter Cell. We can finally have a new POP, albiet a 2.5D metroidvania with terrible trailer music. It seems they're just the Asscreed and Farcry company now. 😒

Amazing game. Buy it. Meow. 🐈

I have a burning hatred of this D-bag. FIRE JIM RYAN! 🔥😡

A C+/B- for me. Stuff like Fable, Forza, etc... doesn't appeal to me. RPGs in general do not.
Clockwork Revolution was my highlight, as I'm always down for a game with time travel mechanics. Overall, the lack of truly huge surprises is what brings it down, as many of these we already know about. Had they shown Perfect Dark, we'd be having a different conversation.
I've never played an original Bethesda IP, so Starfield will likely be my first. It looks interesting enough.

@Kienda Ohhhh, that's really cool to know. I wasn't aware such browser plugins existed. I know dislikes are visible to creators as I've posted many YT videos, but never investigated the hidden dislikes as a viewer. Thank you. 👏🙂

The game itself looks pretty decent, but the music was absolutely atrocious, to be fair. I'm still interested in in.

How are the number of YouTube dislikes known publicly? YT hides the dislike ratio now. 🤔

Really enjoyed this when I got it free last year. Worth a playthrough. 👍 🌈

@AlwaysPlaying I can almost certainly guarantee you that you'd do a more competent job than Ubi's actual VP of marketing. 👍

@ZuneTattooGuy It was, but was resurrected in 2021.

@XxEvilAshxX I still remember Far Cry 6 going half price in 2 months. 😂

@darkswabber "Second party" isn't a thing. Insomniac was always third party who chose to mostly work with Sony. Also as Xbox fans are concerned, there's no reason to not have another quality studio under one's belt. Rare had turned to crap by the time Nintendo got rid of them, so such a purchase in hindsight is very questionable.

Easily one of the best games from 2022, and it was amazing to play the entire thing on Game Pass. I would happily buy this in the future, especially now that there's an FPS update.

Oh thank goodness! I've been out of space for 2 years now.

Muskrat using his "genius" to further flush twitter down the s-tter.

Shadow drop + day 1 GamePass = unsurspring it didn't make enough money, if the rumour is true. 🤷‍♂️

That's f-ed up. Thankfully in Canada that doesn't happen with prize/lottery wins, although that person could just not report it... 🤷‍♂️

Lol ugh, Ryan is the most hyperbolic, overly dramatic shyster. Ridiculous.

Fire Jim Ryan.

COD sucks but BWC is awesome, so it's a conflicting story. 😅

It's still too f-ing expensive!

Take the L, Sony. Ryan and their ilk are beyond pathetic and whiney at this point.

When dinosaurs and Capcom are involved, all I care about is a new Dino Crisis. 🦕

Can't wait until this COD/Sony bs is over with. Take the damn deal, Sony. NVIDIA and Nintendo are the adults in the room.

@Chaudy "Would you play this?" Also no.

@Microbius Don't forget how "evil and disastrous" cross-play is! 🤣 🤣

Truly, a product of the upper crust. 🍞 🧐 🤣

Anything can happen, but I don't see Xbox as a device or brand dying off anytime soon. I feel like we've had these discussions before, 20 years ago, just replace "microsoft" with "nintendo". I'm old enough to remember during the GameCube days, endless articles suggesting that Nintendo will likely leave hardware and go software only.

Very interesting to see how times and the discussions have changed, and yet are still the same in other aspects.

Really hope the demo isn't limited this time. That's beyond infuriating.

@Green-Bandit OMG, the cross play fiasco. 🤦‍♂️ Granted, from what I recall Microsoft was initially against it, but then came around to it. Nintendo came on board, but then Sony shifted against it after the competition was doing it. I was always for the idea since friends often play on different platforms, but many of Sony's users were equally against it, saying how awful and terrible cross play is/will be. Pure partisanship nonsense. 🤦‍♂️
