Great! The first Assassin's Creed was the best out of them all. What great vision. Such a great game.

It's honestly my favorite. The setting was the best one, the visual style was super sharp and looked like a high contrast Kingdom of Heaven. It was more minimalist and the cold corporate conspiracy was really creepily laid out in the emails and brief conversations as a prisoner.
Dark Void, lol? Come on, MS.

Cool. I never finished Dark Void, so I guess I'll give the BC version a shot.
I still don't understand the negativity and hyperbole about the release rate when they made it clear that the monthly drop was over. I mean, of course, games will then appear at less than regular times, but it's not a sign of the support coming to an end or being scaled back. Shit, currently, the release rate for BC for X360 on X1 seems to be happening much more steadily than PS4 is getting ancient-ass PS2 titles with trophies bolted on and certainly faster than Wii U or 3DS are getting 8- and 16-bit titles nevermind Gamecube or Wii ones. Shit's fine even if not ideal.

Dang, I don't own any of those 3 games
Well, I do on Steam, but not Xbox. I hope some of these games get really cheap during digital sales. Love to have a large Xbox library like my Steam library

I really enjoyed it as well. Felt like I was playing shmup, but with a character instead of a ship.

It'll probably coincide with the announcement of RDR2 at E3.

- Dark Void
- GRID 2

THey are deffo hitting a bit more rhythm now. Keep it up MS
Great. I bought AC and GRID in the last sale in hope for backwards compatibility. AC1 is still the best AC to date in my opinion.

That's the wrong game to start with Dark.
Yeah we all want (cod) Dark Ops amirite?
Darksiders
I think ti's my favorite too, still. I think it's the setting and even though they were repetitive, yeah... the mission types made sense to me (in a way of preparing for a big assassination).
I hated this, though. I spent a lot of time trying to keep track of what I had collected and everything, but there were just so damn many.
I don't think Dark Sector got that many votes on that xbox site.

It had vision. That goes a long way with me. AC2 and on completely lost what they were going for with AC1. AC1 is the best "assassin simulator" that's out there next to the new Hitman, and they're like apples and oranges in their approach.
AC1 fully immersed you in that shit. A+ game.
Available in the next 10 days.....looooong 10 days
I understand why they dont cause a commotion on games that will launch on BC soon and instead just announce them when their ready.
Same here.
Those two posts summarize perfectly what makes this the best Assassin's Creed game. I would even add that you cannot even compare AC1 with AC2 anymore since the second game took a completely different approach to the topic and was more like the beginning of that Open World crisis too many games are stuck in nowadays. If you want so, Assassin's Creed was quite linear.

Anybody try tweeting at Microsoft about the broken black levels in Alan Wake? Get any response?

So, do they have to manually update the Xbox One BC Store?
Do you mean
Dark Sector https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Sector
or
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Messiah_of_Might_and_Magic

Hmm, I'd take Dark Messiah as well.
Regarding Alan Wake's black crush issues:
https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/4bdrqw/psa_old_response_to_crushed_blacks_and_fix/
Basically, you should always use the TV (RGB Limited) Color Space display setting on Xbox One. All video content (TV shows, Movies, Blu-ray, DVD, etc.) is authored for (RGB Limited). Youll actually lose visual dynamic range if you select Color Space = PC (RGB Full).
The "RGB Limited" setting could be named more accurately.'
Note they have now changed the name to RGB Standard and PC RGB. If you use RGB Standard then 99% of your "crushed black" problems will be gone, including playing Alan Wake.

Again PC RGB is the wrong setting to use if you have a TV. I have confirmed this myself by using this site on the edge browser on the Xbox One: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/black.php

SotN is buggy as hell. Crashes, music cuts out, black screen....what's next?
I have a disc copy but want it digital.
I'm at ~190%ish completion right now and I haven't had a single issue. Maybe try reinstall it.

What if you have a monitor with Tv tuner? Is it considered PC?
Sorted.
Soon... Soon.
Honestly I expect an RDR3 announcement quickly followed with a Redemption BC pre-order bonus available now for digital orders and deal. Hopefully before E3, though this may be 2Ks big surprise. Whatever happens, RDR3 will blow minds.

The Dark Souls 3 pre-order said as much but not when it will be available to use...

Strange. I might have to try that
yeah after I switched to Standard (I always used PC RGB because my TV is calibrated to 0 for white point) and upped the brightness in game it looks just fine.

I finished all of the inverted castle and had zero issues. Maybe hard reset your console.
Wonder what version the BC package will be.
