@NoLifeDGenerate The EDF games on the x360 were kind of a joke at the time and likely poor sales had alot to do with it. The first two sell for $20 on the Xbox store but the third game still sells for $65. The other game they produced at the time Ombajana Bikini Squad ran terrible on the x360 and has only recently be added to the Xbox one store with backwards compatibility, it is now available to purchase and finally works much better on the X1 or better. I think Xbox doesn't see much value in getting the game, at least that is my opinion.

@NoLifeDGenerate They are largely a publisher not a developer and they have released games for the Xbox in 2023. There oldest games were exclusively to the Playstation and now also release numerous games for the switch.

@NoLifeDGenerate NIS has never published any of there titles on the Xbox. Namco Bandia perhaps doesn't release all titles to the Xbox but most titles do get a Xbox release. With the release of the series Xbox titles are jumping straight to the series Xbox without any Xbox one release.

I am content that most SE titles get a Xbox release and the Tales of series is now permanently on the Xbox along with future releases. Persona is now getting Xbox releases and Atlus is bring vanillasoft games to the Xbox now. NIS is the only developer that doesn't want to release games for the Xbox

I believe they have it slightly wrong. FF7 remake is not going to get released on the Xbox one. FF7 intergrade which released for the ps5 which will be bundled with FF7 rebirth is likely to get released for the series Xbox at some point. FF7 rebirth only has a 3 month exclusivity window which means a Xbox release is more likely. I don't know the exact reasons but FF7 remake version can't get a Xbox version at all, and that is likely why SE created a new version I believe.

In Canada there is Gamestop, which has largely become ToyStop, and carries largely new games with a small handful of pre owned games at 5 -10 off the price of new games. Gamestop always wants to sell preorders rather the sell the limited selection of games at inflated prices. Gamestop was everywhere but in recent years they have closed stores and only have a handful of locations anymore. Gamestop does still buy games, but you only get a small amount of store credit which isn't worth much. Gamestop had a rewards program around used games that they recently scrapped.

Subscription services value often depend on what is on the service that you don't already own. Since I have many of the games already I don't see the value and Ubisoft games always go on sale super cheap anyways.

I noticed even before the ps5 series Xbox launched that Walmart scaled back the number of physical games they had overall with Xbox taking the biggest hit. With the Xbox series S there is less reason no reason to get physical games anyways. Also lots to of developers have move away from releasing games on the Xbox one, and often either go with the Series Xbox or nothing. Given the success of the ps4 it will still get games, but on the flip side gamers are less inclined to upgrade to the ps5. The Xbox one has little of any new games and with the Series S being super cheap there is a big incentive to upgrade.

The original games on the ps3/360 were interesting but were also hard as nails at times which made completing the games difficult.

I have never tried to get a refund but I quickly noticed that you can only get a refund for games with a short window that you haven't played very much. If you haven't played a game then you might be able to get a refund for up to 2 - 3 months but if have played any game more than 2 hours there are excluded. Even if you don't play a game after so long, it is not available for a refund. I don't buy games unless they are on sale and cheap enough so I am happy with the price. And game pass is great to check out games that I might be interested in, if I like it and it cheap I'll buy the game. With new games selling for $90 dollars and refunds are hard to get, it worthwhile to not be impulsive.

Personally I am looking for Fable, but that just me. The 100 heroes game looks not bad after finishing the prequel on game pass. Also like to see Tunic 2 .

It's always win some, lose some. The other weekly quests were good but I am guessing lots of gamers just started the game got the points then immediately quit the game. Same with the 250 weekly quests likely gamers were doing the minimum then again quitting the game. Just speculation but who knows. At the same time it since to see the 500 and 1000 quests have lower weekly requirements which was frustrating to bother with.

Game pass has advantages and disadvantages. You get a full selection of games at a cheap price and personally I find it great to finish games that take less than 10 hours start to finish. For lots of other games that you might be hesitant to buy at full price you can see if they are worth it or find it's not something you want to play.

GTA V is now listed as leaving soon along with other games for December. I don't know why MS keeps paying to get GTA V, when it only stays for a short time anyways.

I got
Dishonoured 2 $4
Mass Effect Legendary $8
Gears Ultimate $6.50
Dead Space Deluxe $10
Wild Hearts Karakuri edition $11.50
Astertix and Obelix XXXL The ram from Hiberua $11.50

Bungie has lots of pass success but the problem is that don't have much to offer any more than just adding minor content to Destiny 2. Most studios that Sony owns or has owned get assimilated into the Playstation gaming studio.

I think that the series is too toxic for MS so they don't want to go near it. The best MS censorship is in Ryse. There is a scene is Ryse were there are various nude women but they have nipple cover so they aren't completely nude. It so absurd that it's kind of funny.

I think it is either two things. Either MS is bringing more older x360 games to backwards compatibility catalog or MS wants to bring older x360 titles that they have the license to new consoles including Nintendo and Playstation consoles.
