Xbox One Backwards Compatible lOT2l: Who would want to play these games?

So this is my "breaking point" with BC support: If there are enough games that I want to play from 360 that I don't have the free time to play before the end of the current generation, this program is an unquestionable success.

Edit: thinking about it? With my personal taste and work schedule, we surpassed this a while back.

I sort of agree, but there are still a ton of games that at least to me seem like low hanging fruit. Like why haven't they done all the LEGO games yet (speaking of those that do not have an Xbox One version). Specifically LEGO Star Wars 3 which was teased a long time ago. What about GTA San Andreas? What about Crackdown 1&2? I still have a ton of games in my 360 Library that I could see coming to BC but haven't yet.

Lastly, I think whenever the next gen (after Xbox One X) comes they'd be stupid to not support the current BC library. It would be like they didn't learn anything.

I feel like this should be an ongoing program for them.

Seriously though, I need games. Y'all see this, Xbox team, give me anything and I'll be happy today.

Lets face it, I don't even play the games. For me its all about seeing that "Ready to Install" number go up.

Same here. It's neat that these titles come to Xbox via BC, but honesty, I really don't play any of them. I booted up Black Ops 1 and 2 a few times, but I really don't have time to play games I've already played when I want to invest more time into newer games.

Even IF my favorite game Phantasy Star Online for Xbox comes to BC, I may play it for a couple hours but I will just move on to something new.

Thanks to backwards compatibility i have gotten to play a bunch of games i missed out on last gen or didn't finish. most recently i beat AC Rogue last week.

I would say i definitely get use out of it other than seeing that list of games go up.

Ah Undertow. If I recall this was one of the first Unreal-engine arcade games released. Got it for free from that Xbox Live outage. Never played it for more than 5 minutes.

Ooo.. Second tweet delivered with Saints Row: The Third.
