"It looks like consoles just turned into unreliable PCs." Chilling words for those naive souls who thought background downloading came without a Mephistophelian price. Xbox 360 owners across the web report various problems with the Spring Dashboard Update ranging from choppy, unwatchable video clips to negative effects on certain games. XboxFanBoy has posted a list of complaints collected from the various game forums.
Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."
That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8
Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.
I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price
The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.
The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.
Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.
Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-
Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.
Downloaded the Xbox360 update and the Oblivion update and everything's fine. All the new features work great!
i got the update and then dl the halo 3 trailer to show a friend it was skippin like a ba$tard!!! But besides that no other problems...havnt played oblivion in awhile maybe ill check it out to c if it takes longer to load...M$ another update plz!
this is weird- i have had no problems and haven't heard about anyone else having any apart from in this article... my games have been running and loading fine and oblivion is working great. similarly i have no crashing or flickering on my video. could these just be unrelated coincidences? it seems odd only some people would have these bugs.
Aside from having to edit that first quote the majority of the article is composed of horribly written message board posts.
I haven't experienced once problem and am quite pleased with the update.
is this more rumors by PS fans to make the 360 look like it is broke? (for example: the over heating rumor...i have yet to talk with anyone who owns a 360, face to face, say they have had overheating problems.) you can not really know if someone posting in forums actually owns a 360.
no problems from me either.
