Hardcore Gamer: Microsoft spent a lot of resources to change some of their system's fundamental features, and it still feels like hardly anything has changed aside from the fact that some neat previously announced features are no longer present.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received a bunch of new DLC, including two new gameplay modes, for free.
It's cheap, it's super colourful and it promises to add a little bit of magic to the Xbox Store. Yep, Farlands Journey is now available.
"Publisher 505 Games and developer ArtPlay, Inc. today release a new update (v1.5) on PC, Xbox and PlayStation including two free game modes and a free Shantae cosmetic pack, plus three premium DLC cosmetic packs to their gothic smash "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night"." - 505 Games and ArtPlay, Inc.
MS went to sleep and woke up with brown sheets.
It happens.
I just hope the entire industry learned from MS colossal error.
Without the patch, the One stood no chance. DOA.
Now the One can sell some machines and get back to being what it was supposed to be......fun
Between the day-one patch and if MS makes it habit to send out games with incomplete content like Forza 5, what they keep saying about cloud support, then no. There was no point in removing the always online requirement.
They just should have put a big warning that an internet connection was required.
too bad, would like to find out what would really happen if they pushed forward...
if the stories about Forza being 1080p due to offloading other things to the cloud are true, all these resolution stories maybe due to devs patching in offline processing in a rushed fashion...
just a hypothesis...
"Was Patching-Out The Xbox One's 'Always-On' Functionality Worth The Effort?"
I thought all they had to do was flip a switch
Yes and it made something Clear.
