@Skinny-Pete I was just trying to help someone appear less ignorant through education and I’m the one that learned something, so now I can appear less ignorant.
Can we get an option that is like it used to be where you could just pay for online only? I have thousands of owned games, I have no need for game pass.
@Sheppard I have played some of the first Spider-Man game on PS4 (I have the PC version as well) and I think the game is awesome so far. Huge difference.
Seeing how all of these companies love money more than anything else, you would think they would all work together to resolve any licensing issues and bring all games to any and every platform possible.
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is an absolutely horrible game and should be ashamed of itself for existing. I couldn’t even finish it. I do not understand how ANYONE can even remotely enjoy that pile of garbage. I was recording my gameplay for my YouTube channel and deleted the videos as well. I had 2 mint CIB copies of that game. I destroyed both of them. I just couldn’t in good conscience bring myself to even sell them to somebody. I could not potentially allow someone to experience such misery. I know it’s a rare game and I know what it’s worth, but it was worth losing the money to know that someone else will not suffer. I paid full price for both of them as well.
How the hell did Black Ops 7 get to the top of anything. Oh I get it, I woke up in a parallel reality again. So is Black Ops 7 good in this one, because the last one I was in it was the worse one yet worth all kinds of nonsense. Barely recognizable.
I wish they had a tier that only included online multiplayer for the people who have thousands of games already and don't need anything to do with Game pass or cloud streaming. Oh wait, they did and they took it away.
@ZuneTattooGuy Gaming since 1982 here. Odyssey 2 and Atari 2600. I did reread your post and saw that you said recently. They need to bring back multi-disc games as standard.
@TapeLoader Incorrect, most games are in a completely broken and unfinished state on the disc nowadays. They require a download to function properly. Or the discs only include a very small portion of the game and the rest needs to be downloaded. I was also in my head thinking about Nintendo switch 2 key cards, and in that case makes my statement completely true.
What I think is funny is nowadays when people buy a game on day one they get an unfinished and/or broken product and pay full price for it. When you wait a while, and sometimes not very long if the game was extremely broken during its release, you not only get a discount, you also get in most cases a finished, polished game. What I'm wondering is why doesn't everyone just wait? This has been going on for a very long time and with a lot of games. Common sense would tell you to just wait for every single game to be reduced in price and patched.
@Nexozi There might be something wrong with your Series X, maybe even the HDMI cable or the TV. Maybe see if other people are having the same experience with those games.

@Oldgamer03 I would never accept a gift with conditions. If somebody gives me something, I will do whatever I want with it.
Re: Xbox Fans Go Wild As Asha Sharma Gives Free Consoles To Everyone At FanFest LA
@RegnumSolipsi Yes they will. Remember all of the companies have been hoarding money and actually have more than they know what to do with.
