I'll buy the physical (assuming it gets one) because I like buying the Turtles games physical and ill try it out then but besides that.. I'll sit this one out. Unless it goes on sale for cheap.
Well Xbox has become more of an ecosystem than just a console so.. they might as well just say Playstation. I always said (and I know this some fantasy world stuff) it would be cool if Sony and Microsoft teamed up together and made a super console.
I think what Microsoft is doing is great for Xbox and potentially the future of gaming. Xbox is now an ecosystem that just so happens to have a console.
To my understanding the Xbox brand makes a ridiculous amount of money. (Probably more than Sony and Nintendo combined) However, the Xbox console is a bit of a flop. Which is too bad because imo the Xbox Series (both X and S) is an excellent machine.
They're old NES & Gameboy games. You don't think they'll fit on the disc completely? Why are you even on article about physical media if you don't care for it?
@Nintendo4Sonic Nice. I've been interested in it for awhile but that game has a fairly hefty price tag so I've never checked it out. Retro game prices are just so ridiculous now. I know I'm excited to finally check it out without having to pay after market prices.
Never played it but yeah. I actually bought this yesterday out on limb because I like buying the Xbox & 360 games and I was looking for something to try out for the spooky season. I'm excited to try it out though.
Unless its cross platform, dirt cheap or free to play it probably won't be much of a hit. These kinds of games typically only reach a small group of people for so long. If it does strive it will be because of the Dragonball name alone.
This actually kind of blows. Those were the only games I actually claim. I'd actually like to see them just drop Games with Gold as a whole. Free online and drop the price of Gamepass just a few bucks and call it a day. That would be such a 'W' for Microsoft.
Gungrave! Man, oh man.. The PS2 games (specifically the first one) is my jam. I really hope it comes to Gamepass but I'm definitely checking it out regardless. That's officially one of my most anticipated games of the year now.
@somnambulance I feel like I can say with FULL confidence that you will see a bunch of stuff drop into Gamepass and see very very little exclusives for this year. And when very very little exclusives this year I'm talking you'll see, Scorn. POSSIBLY Hellblade will drop this year but I doubt it. You'll get trailers for games that probably won't be releasing for the next 2,3,4 years and that's about it. But a TON of Gamepass announcements. Which I'm cool with personally..
In all fairness, I don't think they have any exclusives coming out for the rest of the year so yeah.. what else would they honestly do..? I'm not complaining. Gamepass is probably one of (if not the) best deals in entertainment. I pay for it so the more they bring over, the better.
@UltimateOtaku91 For sure, it's cheap so that helps balance that out. Personally, if they took out the paywall to play online and still charged the same price for the retro library I would gladly still pay for it. I'm lucky enough to have a family plan with at least 4 other people that are willing to throw down on it and I love it. The expansion pak has gotten better since it's released. I just hope they get to fixing more of the N64 games some of them really do suck on the service. I just brought up the servers because that definitely plays the biggest factor in my opinion. Basically, it's the reason why Nintendo's online is so laggy and has such poor connection. Maybe your internet is good so it's not a big deal. Also, no voice chat or messaging your friends is a little ridiculous too. However, theres ways around that. Its just annoying.
This should definitely happen. Gold is pointless. It pisses people off more than anything. Xbox (aka Microsoft, duh) would take such a massive dub if they'd quit charging people to play online.
I'm not into COD but I'd gladly play them if they came to Gamepass. I just dont like giving Activision my money is all and never have. Long before "the allegations and lawsuits." I'd buy the remasters such as Crash, Tony Hawk and Spyro but that's it. I'll let those slide since they didn't screw those up and I have found memories playing those games. It would be cool to see these games come over sooner than later. As disappointed as I am in Blizzard I can't deny I love their games.

Re: Limited Run Gets Brutally Honest As Xbox Misses Out On Two New Ports
@ZuneTattooGuy Yes? Also, the more physical copies out there on all platforms, the better.
Re: Limited Run Gets Brutally Honest As Xbox Misses Out On Two New Ports
To be fair, the games listed were on Gamepass. I'm sure they didn't sell as well..
Re: Limited Run Gets Brutally Honest As Xbox Misses Out On Two New Ports
Ugh. That sucks. I do appreciate the transparency though.

Re: Rumour: Microsoft Might Permanently 'Combine' Xbox Live Gold With Game Pass
@UltimateOtaku91 I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you but:
1: Realistically we shouldn't have to pay to play online whatsoever.
2: You failed to mention Nintendo does not have dedicated servers.
The NSO definitely flawed but I do think it gets a little more criticism than it really should in my opinion.
Re: Rumour: Microsoft Might Permanently 'Combine' Xbox Live Gold With Game Pass
