Seriously. Who the ***** is still playing these? The gameplay hasn't been worth ***** since they started favoring sim over arcade back on 360. Wrestling isn't even real FFS. I want arcade action back. and the people willing to put up with making a 2K account to access half the game make me sick. Should be demanding they drop that *****.
@cragis0001 There was NEVER a ***** need. There are plenty of games that have crossplay without needing an extra account (WWZ, Remnant FTA, Chivalry 2), not that I even want crossplay to begin with. I don't need cross save *****, that's NOT a valid excuse to force me into making one in spite of the Diablo IV dev's opinion. These accounts NEVER should've been tolerated. People screamed bloody murder when Bethesda required an account for the retro DOOM games but they still didn't remove the requirement from Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein Youngblood or Redfall.
@cragis0001 Have you missed the past few years entirely? Literally everyone is demanding accounts. I'm even skipping Bethesda and Activision games because MS won't scrap those ***** accounts now that they own them. I don't want an account with Activision, EA, Bethesda, Rockstar, 2K, IOI, Ubishaft, Warhammer devs, and or whoever the ***** made Second Extinction. I've skipped a lot of games in recent years because of this *****. Actually refunded Second Extinction when that screen popped up demanding I create an account.
@cragis0001 The EU rules are ridiculous and just going to make gaming worse. There's already too many ***** accounts beyond the platforms. The platform owners need to make it policy that every game bought on the platform is playable without being forced to make an account with the publisher. Let the ***** do all the OPTIONAL accounts they want. No more mandatory ones. The only account I should need on Xbox is my Xbox account. Likewise for PSN, Steam, etc.
@HonestHick I'm just tired of seeing physical devolving into code in a box ***** like PC did and a bunch of incomplete discs that are worthless without the servers anyway. Physical needs to be done properly or die with dignity. I just want the companies to pick one and get the ***** on with it instead of forever trying to coddle the plastic hoarders.
I keep saying it, and nobody listens. Namco is ***** biased against Xbox. Somebody there is. We haven't gotten an EDF game since they took over D3Publisher. Literally everything Yukes has made the past 20 years was multi-plat, EXCEPT their EDF spin offs. I'll bet anything Yukes was going to port them too but someone at Namco blocked it. Gaming media needs to shine a brighter light on this ***** situation.
Nooooo. WTF is with everyone and ***** white this gen? Just give a black Series X with 2Tb internal. I don't care if it has a disc drive or not. It should've been ***** done by now. and why doesn't Xbox have a 4TB expansion yet???
@ShadowofTwilight Yet, they've done each one better. PS Now was a ***** streaming service. XBL ended up a very solid online setup. BC is debatable, but Sony and Nintendo aren't doing ***** in comparison for recent gens. Nintendo even delisted their own ***** (Mario 64).
It better include merging Activision's ***** account system into the standard Xbox account infrastructure. They have no business still having Bethesda and Activision accounts. It's ***** *****.
KOTH....ridiculous. 343 isn't capable of doing a proper arcade FF like we had in Reach. They couldn't even copy Reach's playlist to MCC correctly and just expected everyone to play garbage like Plasmafight instead of straight 'ArcadeFight' like 99% of players voted for on 360 back in the day. H5 firefight was beyond terrible. The right way to do it would've been adding Halo 4's saved loadouts to it do people don't have to blow themselves up to get the exact loadout they want anymore.
Why is it so hard for these ***** companies to understand what's actually fun to play anymore? Just like Gears 4 and 5 ruined horde compared to 3. Epic gave us the option of infinite ammo, super bullets/melee, etc along with an arcade campaign mode. Coalition is obsessed with "balance," ammo starvation, and keeping people from speedrunning it. Newsflash: Half the players hate the ***** robots and would prefer to turn them off and just shoot grubs.
It isn't even that good FFS. Half of us are capped or near capped on everything after less than 2 weeks, and the weapons mostly feel like *****. I'd rather have EDF come back to Xbox. It's ***** Namco has been cockblocking Xbox ever since they took over D3Publisher.
No, but I would literally pay more for Gold/Core if they stopped allowing other publishers' ***** accounts to be mandatory in order to play games on the platform. I don't want an account with EA, Activision, Bethesda, IOI, 2K, Rockstar, Ubisoft, and whoever the ***** made Second Extinction. I literally refunded Second Extinction for that very reason. I won't buy anything that expects me to make another account anymore. The only account I should need to play games on Xbox is the one I ***** buy them with.
The 10GB on Steam just proves how ridiculous updates on consoles are. PubG was the same way when I tried it. Every platform got updates the same day. 3 tiny fixes. The PC update was 230MB, but the Xbox update for the exact same ***** fix was 9GB. This ***** needs to change.
@BBB Which is why people need to stop tolerating extra accounts outside the platform itself. Anything they want to do can be done via an Xbox/PSN account if they really wanted to.
FFS. It's like 10 years old now. GTA5 feels like ***** for exactly the same reason. When is Warframe 2 or something going to happen? Something with combat actually made for current gen.
Still no Bandanna skull for H3, 4, etc. Always pissed me off the H2 one was missing some functionality of the CE one to begin with. Why the hell did they keep updating this but couldn't even be bothered to offer an arcade firefight option or XP boost on Halo 5 before Infinite released? *****.
What about the ***** accounts!? Why is MS still keeping 3 separate account systems now that they own these companies!? Get rid of the ***** Bethesda and Activision accounts.
I'd settle for BC for Star Wars Obi-Wan and Genma Onimusha, since Capcom only remastered the PS2 version. Why the hell is Obi-Wan the only OG Xbox Star Wars game that isn't BC!?!?!?
I want to see them merge the other 2 ***** accounts systems they now own into the base MS account so nobody needs a ***** Bethesda or Activision account anymore. It's *****. If Sony can require a PS account on a goddamn Steam release (Helldeivers 2), MS can drop the other 2 separate accounts even for the games they're keeping multi-plat.
I still remember those codes in 360 games for online access. It's funny. The studios wanted to kill the resale market all these years, but they don't have the balls to pull the plug on physical right away in spite of so many games not even functioning without servers or patches now.
Completely different architectures. The 360 BC we have now is entirely emulation. It would make sense to support the entire OG Xbox library though. Pisses me off some OG Xbox games that were actually BC on 360 didn't carry over to the BC we have now. Capcom remastered the PS2 version of Onimusha instead of the Xbox versions with all the enhancements. Ridiculous
Another game that's all about looks and not enough action. ***** trend. What happened to DMC type games? I swear we just keep going backwards in terms of action. ***** "immersion."
@CallMeDuraSouka There was a slight change in shape between the XB1 and Series controllers. I loved the feel of Series controllers at first, but my hands prefer the XB1 ones. I also have a DS Edge and absolutely hate symmetrical sticks.
Remove the ***** Bethesda account requirement or I'll never try it. MS has owned them how many years now? Those extra accounts shouldn't exist anymore. Never should've to begin with.
The only thing that would get me to play is multi-team (3v3v3v3), BTB Heavies (with Gauss Hog added), or proper arcade style firefight like Reach had. Of course, 343 couldn't even copy firefight to MCC correctly, so I'm not holding my breath.
@ZYDIO I already explained my opinion on discs. They're pointless for games and have been for an entire generation already. They were never a good physical medium to begin with. The 360 gen with all the scratched ***** discs for resale was terrible. Now I just want it to end because I see the writing on the wall. Stopped buying game discs early in the XB1 gen. Not early enough, since I still have Deadpool on disc and it pisses me off the digital isn't available. Still, I'm tired of waiting for your precious discs to get to the stores for the digital to unlock. I'm also hoping if things go all digital, there will be more incentive for studios to fix their ridiculous licensing agreements so games stop being delisted.
Keeping the lowest platform in mind ***** over those of us who buy the more powerful one. It's not just about resolution/FPS. Take the cross platform (PS4/PS5) Earth Defense Force 6 as an example. Both versions have the same ***** draw distance to the point you can't even see enemies sometimes if you pull the camera out to aim an air strike.
I would prefer direct Series S support get dropped sooner and leave it supported via XCloud only so devs can move on to fully utilizing what the Series X and whatever is next can do.
So, one tiny bug, but the update is still the same 500+ MB it always is. Why always exactly the same size for system patches no matter what's being patched? I call *****. Just like PubG updates being perpetually 9GB on Xbox no matter what the fix, even when the same exact version patch is only 200MB on PC.
@ZYDIO Allowing sell/trade/share would just make the service *****. Also, don't use your main account to play online. Ever. No reason to. Hide the account that owns stuff from all the trolls/hackers.
@ZYDIO No, that doesn't need to change. That's what the 24hr online check-in ***** was for that the clowns originally wanted on the XB1. Digital libraries are for keeps.
@ZYDIO Which is why I'd prefer them just pull the plug on the widespread physical releases and let them die with dignity rather than the code in a box ***** that keeps happening with most GOTY releases and some other full releases.
@Rodimusprime13 We literally had an exclusive EDF on Xbox360 and 2 others. All 3 are BC, but no new ones since Namco bought them. Yukes even released spin off games that somehow didn't get to Xbox in spite of the fact EVERYTHING else Yukes did the past 20 years is multi-plat. Someone is disallowing EDF games from Xbox, and I want to know who. Also, most of their EDF Switch ports are Japanese only in spite of the games already being released in English multiple times. They're clearly biased against the west.
