Red dead Redemption 1 & 2 but rockstar will probably cash in on the game like what they did with the recent update to GTA V which will be unfortunate but it's a no brainer I suppose.
@Vipor007 It is horrible when that happens, my mates was nagging me to play world war z recently, i bought it for cheap on pc but the game came back on gamepass a few days later and then out of nowhere my mates stopped playing it.
@AccessibleDaydream 🤣, I was bored, loosing my head whilst not at work, I ended up going down the rabbit hole watching ("Steve Ballmer Developers Music Video" on YouTube)
With the way the Xbox interface/eco-system is similar across two generations and maybe for the future generations I feel it is a great starting point to build an Xbox catalogue of games for those who don't care about the latest and greatest games so on that note It's hard to say to be honest.
I'm guessing the rise of players having the time off from work over the christmas period, that gives those the opportunity to finally play it has given the game a lower review score.
I would rather buy them because in the long run, after I have completed let's say avatar and nothing else whilst subscribing just to play call of duty online , I will still be paying for it, especially after subscribing for like 3 years straight, it would cost me short of 500 for that one game.
I've not played this game because it's not my thing, I do keep with the news that is related to it though but in some areas of the internet I have seen people just jumping on the band wagon of hate for the fun of it, like posting frequent screenshots of the overall steam review score every time it goes down, those people love to see it happen, that's how silly it is so on that note I agree with the dev in a fashion.
I have avoided call of duty for many years now but I have come to realise that the best call of duty games come out when another big competing game comes out like GTA, in 2008/2009 we got GTAIV/CODWAW/CODMW2, then in 2012/2013 we got BO2/GTAV, 2018/2019, RDR2/BO4/MW19.
With them now doing this low level product to possibly save man power for something possibly better and with it being kind of half way through a console life cycle (which is another reason for better quality games like cod), it might be the best time to buy a Call of Duty game but I ain't falling for the trap.
For something like that to occur he/she must of had the Xbox account linked to the pc side of things and was using non official, non trust worthy parts of the internet, I can imagine it could be either bitcoin related, looking at pirating a game or a even crazy loophole in the Xbox 360 hacking/modding ecosystem, I would love to know but it is pointless.
Shove it, I'm gonna play GTA liberty city & vice city stories this week, compared to the other games I've only completed them once and that was like 17 years ago.
@smoreon Yeah it's pretty rubbish, i won't be buying it, not primarily because of the state of it but because I've played the mgs games a good few times.
@trev666 let's put it this way, with it only being possible to play online by subscribing to gamepass and with call of duty coming to it in the future, if people have purchased call of duty (which would be dumb) and they only play call of duty they're theoretically still paying for that game, plus if they are playing it via game pass only for 2+ years, they have either spent between 200 to 300 wads of cash including the purchase and the micro-transactions, compared to a measley 70 beans, it's easy & better money for Microsoft/Xbox in the world of capitalism.
Some of these don't have a series of them but for me it would be great if they could manage to put these on gamepass, Crash twinsanity, Gun, Scarface: the world is yours, Simpsons hit & run, True Crime: Streets of LA, Soldier of fortune, the tenchu games & the guitar hero games and many more.
I'm guessing some of them will be drip fed, because why not, especially if people don't know about the acquisition down the line, they would think "woaaaaaah crash bandicoot is on game pass I am going to subscribe"
That's good because mine are mostly garbage anyways, except for one on red dead redemption 2 where a online player was glitched into the back of a horse's bum, it was very peculiar and a great sight to be told, it got me 1k+ views, if I could post it here i would 😆
I never said people don't, I'm in that boat, i love graphics, next gen games but I bought a series s after the series X for retail emulation (when it was possible) with a separate account, plenty of people bought one in the homebrew community including my friends, you can still play next gen games and do emulation at the same time, try it dude it's really good, the consoles are that good it's possible to upscale old games up to 4k.
@ebony-shabba What I am saying is a good percent of those sales are from people wanting a emulation box to play old school games, you know what the developer mode app that you can buy on you're Xbox can do right? But I'll word it better next time.
