well, xbox is broken atm

Does anybody know if L4D2 still runs off of those "official dedicated" servers? Running into a lot of lag in my matches.

 

[Ravi_elite]

Anyone know weather or not you keep any of the games from the vault after you stop paying for EA Access?? this would be good to know concerning Dead Space, I could download it now through EA Access, but if it means not owning the full rights to it and just waiting a day to get it through games for gold, than I would rather get it through Games for gold..

btw not that I matter, but I am very VERY upset with the fact Saints Row IV got backwards compatibility..... there is already Saints Row IV on xbox one..where the hell is the original Saints Row?

 

[gossi]

So I've played a lot of Grid 2, Tekken Tag Tourny 2, SC II and Left For Dead 2 this week. They all run really well. I can't find anything to fault.

 

[El_Chino]

Of note, Dead Space joins Plants vs. Zombies as free with EA Access.

They should add the triolgy.

No. You don't keep EA Access games when the sub is up.

But you still have the option to buy even when you install an EA Access game, so I don't see why it would block GwG.

The first Saints Row was THQ, so the rights may be fucked up. The emulator also might just still have certain issues with it that haven't been ironed out yet. Or both. And either way, I can't imagine any good reason to be "VERY upset" any title got BC, even if it had a next gen port. That's just silly. Especially since it's not like they literally said "Saints Row 1? Fuck no, never. We're going to do IV and everyone can fuck off".

Saints Row IV is going to be a GwG for 360 this month so it makes sense why it's just becoming BC.

Shit! I didn't even thing about that. I guess that may be causing problems with getting saints row 2 and The Third then.

I thought Deep Silver bought the entire license, so it would be up to them to re-release any older installments or not.

EA Access is superb.

 

[matrixman92]

Why? It's free on XBL tomorrow.

My gold just expired. And, at least I think, I don't need gold to be able to get it off ea access for free. It was the one thing I really wanted this month, so I won't renew now

I'm like 99% sure Deep Silver owns the entire Saint's Row licence, otherwise the previous games wouldn't be on digital storefronts nor would Deep Silver have been able to put SR3 on PS Now.

If anything's holding the game back it's either music licensing (SR1 came out a while ago lol) or problems with the emulator.

Edit:here's the PSN store page for SR2; despite the THQ name being listed at the top of the page the Deep Silver copyright information is at the bottom. So I don't think the original being published by THQ will have any effect.

 

[Novocaine]

EA Access is superb.

I'm honestly jealous of people who get value out of it. I can see it there but not enough of the games interest me to keep a sub (not a big sports or fps fan). But I'm hoping that will change with 360 games starting to come in.

 

[Beer Monkey]

We'll see. I was surprised that Symphony of the Night came out since Konami has basically left the console market.

It's the closest thing to "free money" around, for IP holders.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

So did MS change the 360 payment requirements?

I was just able to queue up DS without having a payment option linked to the account.

Nope, just tried to get it on my UK account.
What a stupid thing. I was so relieved that I wouldn't have to turn on my 360 anymore for the Games With Gold stuff, but no... "You have no valid payment options on file." The game is "free". What the hell?

Do you have EA access ? Since the game is also available on that service maybe that's why you got the green light. Although I wonder in that case if the system "knows" you also have it with Games with Gold. Probably not.

 

[im_dany]

Add Paypal and then if you dont trust it turn it off from Paypal settings without removing it. What's the problem in that?

I know it's a dumb limitation but it's always been like that on 360 Store, there's no point in complaining every 15 days for many posts.

It has not "always been like that" on the 360 Store. Maybe on the xbox.com store?

The only thing I noticed was audio lag firing weapons in L4D2. Absolutely blown away by TTT2 it runs insanely well possibly even better.

Yeah the 360 games could be what keeps me in the end.

Though I do already own Skate 3, Burnout Paradise and few other of the more popular titles.

Huh, that's weird.

Can you try after queuing up an X1 title? I queued it after starting the download for TWAU.

I do have Access, maybe that's why it worked? Annoying it was probably something else, I was so glad that I wouldn't have to get my 360 out any more...

 

[onimushroom]

Huh, that's weird.

That's exactly what I did. Started the TWAU download and went to get DS too, but instead of "purchase" or "install" the button was "show prices" or something like that. Selecting that made the menu think for a while and then spew the payment method nonsense.

 

[Kordelle]

Fingers crossed for a new title in 9 minutes... 😁

 

[shandy706]

I'm loving me some Halo Wars. Why did I miss out on this game?

Taking screenshots and heavy combat can take a toll on the framerate, but I'm loving it so far. Is there a way to select all units JUST on the current screen and not all units on the whole map?

For a 360 game it's real darn pretty to look at too. Still looks nice on the big-screen. This makes me excited for a HW2.

Yes, I believe left bumper is for "LOCAL UNITS" (if not then it's the right bumper). You can then use the Dpad to select the type of unit from there.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Vanquish is my #1. Ninja Gaiden 2 would also be greatly appreciated.

 

[shandy706]

Thanks, I figured there was..but I'm not near my X1 right now. I kept accidentally selecting everyone, lol.

Left bumper is ALL units, right bumper is LOCAL units which are the units on screen at that time. You can then use the right trigger I believe to switch which type of units you want to command.

 

[im_dany]

It has not "always been like that" on the 360 Store. Maybe on the xbox.com store?

From the console you don't need a payment method, from the web you do (and it's always been like that).

 

[onimushroom]

Yes, the 360 is a console and xbox.com is web.
And the Xbox One is a console, so why are they treating it as a web store for 360.

 

[Ein Bear]

ALL UNITS
LOCAL UNITS

ALL UNITS

I love Halo Wars.

Guess I got lucky then or maybe I bought it on the 360 and forget about it. It was one of my most played games last gen after all.

Very annoying, I was happy MS had finally fixed it...

Ugh.

 

[Schmitty]

Picked up Mass Effect with the original case and manual in great condition for 2 bucks at a local store. Meanwhile, every other Gamestop is cleared out and charging 15

 

[blast processed]

Never played Dead Space, what is it comparable to?

 

[Ein Bear]

Never played Dead Space, what is it comparable to?

I'd say it's most comparable to Resident Evil 4, but with more of focus on horror. My friend and I used to joke it was a better Resident Evil 5 than the actual RE5 was.

Oh shit! I love RE4.

How you figure?

 

[Silent Hill]

What is it? Blops?

April fools?

 

[Novocaine]

Oh shit! I love RE4.

You're probably going to love Dead Space then. I almost envy you for getting to play it fresh for the first time.

 

[Black Republican]

dont believe his lies

 

[Backlogger]

Yeah, Gamestop seems to be raising prices on BC titles.

While I am tempted to buy cheap copies of BC games I kinda just want to go all digital with BC games.

Of course, I supposed I could buy the physical copy for cheap and then when a digital copy goes on sale get that...

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I'm not very frame-rate sensitive, but DS has some serious problems when there's more than one necro on screen. Also feels like there's lag compared to 360.

Still, damn good to play DS on the X1. Annoying that EA have seemingly abandoned the IP...

 

[im_dany]

Yes, the 360 is a console and xbox.com is web.
And the Xbox One is a console, so why are they treating it as a web store for 360.

It's because the X1 doesn't connect to the 360 Store directly, it basically makes the 360 website look pretty.

 

[ryan13ts]

Think we'll get Nier anytime soon? I've heard great things about it, so I settled on buying it for PS3 (Even though it's twice as expensive for that system) but I'm still hoping for it to go BC.

Random off-topic question too, why the hell is the PS3 version of a multiplatform title almost always more expensive than 360 version?. I notice this pretty much anytime I''m in gamestop and I can't figure out the reason why. It makes it pretty much no brainier to go 360 if you've got the option, especially with BC now.
