like it could be a fun game. Glad to see that Micro is trying to expand their fan base into other areas.

The thing that was kind of strange though is that this game isn't made by Rare.

and now ladies and gentlemen take a look at this

http://www.n4g.com/industry...

see how he changed his also.

He called me desperate, truly said and pathetic yet look at
what he was doing himself. Don't let him fool you he is
the biggest anti Sony person on this site just look at his old
comments all his submitted stories and all the sony hating articles
he posts that end up in the failed section. Here's a funny one
he tried to post

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

if you notice those screen shots they say press L2 on one of them
which clearly lets you know they are PS3 shots taken from the PS3
of IGN.

marionz6123d ago

The first VP was pretty fun, never played party animals. Hydro thunder is one of my favorites on the DC and this update was on GwG before but still a fun game for anyone who missed it. Never heard of the other two.

Queue the onslaught of "why do they even bother" comments. While i don't totally disagree that Gold games have been awful, every once in a while one pops on their that I try and end up liking. I mean if you have to pay, why complain about games they give you.

CrimsonWing69720d ago

I don’t know why they bother, but on the flip side PS+ is following the same path now that they have Spartacus.

RosweeSon720d ago

Yeah fifa 22 is just the same as 10/12 year old Xbox 360 games 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤣 do people even think about what they are saying let alone actually typing out and pressing add 🥴🤣

CrimsonWing69720d ago

@RoweeSon

You’re absolutely right! I don’t know what came over me. I’ll be sure to think before I speak from now on. I appreciate your help with showing me how wrong I am.

vallencer720d ago

@rosweeson

I mean honestly speaking fifa 22 is basically the same as a 10/12 year old 360 game since fifa is basically the same every year.

I think Microsoft is trying to make PsPlus look good with these horrible GWG line up.

Christopher720d ago

They're just trying to get people to move over to GPU for better options. Otherwise, whoever is subscribed just doesn't care about the games and just online stuff.

Lightning77720d ago

Basically.

I've said this latest month but GWG is strictly for the casuals who have gold only. Just like you said if you want better options then get Gamepass. GWG is no longer for the hardcore audience anymore.

Deathdeliverer720d ago

The ONLY thing bad about gamepass is how Microsoft completely started taking dumps on games with gold ever since. In my opinion (OPINION) PlayStation plus gave better offerings most of the time but there were times where games with gold would win a few FOR ME. Now it’s a landslide. They should put the same effort into games with gold as they do gamespass. Just take the games off, reduce the price, and call it Xbox Live again.

im nowhere near that bad. did not play kids games (apart from Kung Fu panda that came with my xbox and was NOT EASY FOR ACHIEVEMENTS) and i don't use a robot or play hannah montana.

those 5 signs are BAD.. but i do like my gamerscore

Dr Face Doctor4430d ago

There are people that still care about gamerscore?

Entropic4430d ago

I would definitely say if you find yourself following in the path of any one of these warning signs, you may have a problem, haha.

Gamerscore is a great idea and concept, but I'd love to see it yield more tangible rewards for those who are truly dedicated to it.

MasterD9194430d ago

It would be nice to gain something in-game from the achievements that constantly pop up.

I still believe that a higher gamerscore tends to tell a bit more about the player than people think. You have to play A LOT of games to get what is considered to be a respectable score...The only way you do that is by playing games outside of the popularity charts as well.

And without a doubt it may be bit tacky to get an achievement for random things in-game but it is also somehow genuinely satisfying.

The Best Bodily Functions In Video Games -- Burps, Farts And Poop

G4TV writes "Video games are a complex form of interactive media. Many moving parts go into making a game, you need a story, character arcs, gameplay innovation and stunning graphics. There is one gear that is for too often missing from this living, breathing machine that is a solid video game experience. I'm of course talking about the use bodily functions as a game mechanic. Yes, those awesome and often immature moments in games that make us laugh, and get us a little queasy: flatulence, burping, urinating - they are all great ways to advance through a level or defeat an enemy. If projectile vomiting is more your thing then keep reading because I've got that covered too."
