Xbox Live Games with Gold for the month of June 2018 hasn't been officially announced yet. Microsoft usually makes the announcement near the end of the month however the announcement for Games With Gold for the upcoming month is still shrouded in mystery.
The PS Plus Extra lineup refresh for October 2022 wasn't quite as good as it could have been for PS5 owners because of technical setbacks preventing them from accessing three of the games. They were Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, and Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia. While Syndicate remains unplayable via the service, the 2D treks to India and Russia have now been made available on PS5 via PS Plus Extra.
They all run there's a few out there with some issues assassin's Creed syndicate is one but I also found rush of blood was unplayable.
This is a positive development. They might actually fix Syndicate so
1) it's playable and
2) the flickering won't give people epilepsy attacks
I'm pretty sure that I added Syndicate on the PS Store on the PS5 (through PS Plus Extra), not the web app.
Some unsuspecting person with epilepsy could easily suffer a seizure from trying to play this game on their subscription. Fingers crossed that they fix it.
I dont doubt the epilepsy thing one bit but I personally have never heard of it actually happening to anyone. I cant imagine what that would be like. Im told I took seizures when I was born to a year, im so glad whatever that was about didnt stick around.
Fans of Assassin’s Creed will want to check out a new Build Your Own Bundle featuring ten different games from Ubisoft’s popular action-adventure franchise.
You know a game comes out too often when we’re getting BYOB (Build-your-own-bundle) deals! And this cheap? Good deal for parkour lovers! Haha!!
What Ill be doing for valhalla, wait for a sale. Ac and far cry games go really cheap pretty quick. Picked up fc5 for $5 and Odyssey for $10.
Or just wait til Ubisoft gives em out for free lol. they've practically given out all the AC games for free, as well as both Watch Dog games, and Rayman. Ubisoft is weird
There are lots of great kart racers that have released over time. So why is Mario Kart still the go-to choice? What makes this series the best there is, best there was and maybe the best there ever will be?
No one has really tried to dethrone the king of kart in my opinion. All Star Transformed came close but it needed more support from Sega.
It would be nice for every console to have their own mascot cart racing game.
Diddy Kong Racing definitely came close on the Nintendo 64. That game was fantastic, and with the added use of different types of vehicles, it offered something you couldn't find in MK64.
Diddy Kong Racing was awesome, but would it be a contender to the Mario Kart thrown since it was basically on the same system? I think it was so good that Nintendo purposely didn't make a sequel (even with Rare leaving) just so Mario Kart can reign supreme on the Nintendo platform.
Single player wise plenty dethrone MK, Sonic Transformed, CTR, DKR for sure. I even say MNR. MP wise, CTR and Sonic Transformed I prefer. Especially CTR as it's more skill based but just as good on Items selection. I think the only thing it needs is a proper homing weapon outside the orb as the rockets useless if they're too far. Personally as a big kart racer fan. MK is actually just a safe bet. It's never been the best to me honestly. They're always good games though. Just really accels in multiplayer only. I actually thought MNR was a great contender and just needed a better weapon setup. Then Road Trip came with a much better setup that I actually thought was fantastic but unfortunately the game wasn't made by people who use sense and they killed the games chances by not including online multiplayer and only 4p local. I wish they'd rerelease them in 1 package on PS4 and upgrade the creator with LBPK's creator
All star racing came close? It was no way near as good and sold a fraction of what MK8 has sold ( fair enough though if you personally liked it...) .
Crash racing looks bland and outdated.
Mario Kart 9 will be a critically acclaimed smash hit again no doubt.
Yeah, i was referring to personal taste. As a Mario Kart fan but not owning a Nintendo system since the Wii, I missed out on a lot of the MK games. All Star was my only fix for the Xbox, and I really enjoyed it. There aren't that many cart games, especially good ones.
"Crash racing looks bland and outdated."
Um, no it doesnt. At all. And for many CTR is better than Mario Kart in a lot of areas, one being the decent single player campaign.
I play MK8 almost every day but much prefer CTR, can't wait for it to release next month.
Ricegum . Get real bud.
Mario Kart is Avengers Endgame
And Crash racing is Superman Vs Batman with Ben Affleck.
Crash Team Racing was better then Mario 64 in my opinion
ND took the formula and added to it, a open hub, a story campaign, little things to do in races such as the CTR tokens, gem cups, boss races, time relics. It felt like the next step and is still a step Mario Kart hasn’t taken today, 20 years later
controls weren't as tight, One thing Mario Kart has is very tight mechanics. One reason why it always feels so good.
Tight controls shouldn’t be the only thing putting it over the competition
Crash Team Racing wasn’t awful with controls, they were pretty decent
Fact is tight controls isn’t an excuse to why Mario Kart hasn’t done the majority of things a game like CTR did 20 years ago
@Foxtrot - Crash had it's chance.. I mean what, should we apologize for Mario Kart and the success it has garnered? MK8 reviewed extremely well across the board. There is a reason for that.
CTR had tight controls, especially compared to MK64, That game was like you're sliding around in comparison. Maybe every MK after. But even still. No one ever said CTR had any control issues lol
I liked it better as well. Still my favorite cart racer to this day, pretty pumped about the remake.
let's be honest, a lot of kart games, exept the ones that are made with the ass of course, are better than mario kart
Yes IMHO Modnation racers was the best "kart game" ever released. Its a shame more people didn't try it out. Had so much customization and unlimited potential.
Modnation racers had a promising first attempt! That was the only game that sold me after casually trying the demo. Loved it. Could have been something truly special if they fully fleshed out a sequel. That and PSABR should have had sequels with more funding to really make them great.
Road Trip was actually perfect race wise, just messed up because the devs gave up on it before even releasing it and you can tell. If they made a new one on PS4 or PS5 and worked off the Road trip gameplay and upgraded. That game would be amazing
I'm excited for CTR but it's like two decades old in terms of core mechanics, it's a classic but Mario Kart has evolved. CTR is arguably better than MK64 but not MK8 lol
BS
I'm calling fake on this. I don't believe Xbox would give us a founders pack for a F2P game as one of the four titles.
They should just rename the service to “Assassin’s Creed and LEGO Games with Gold” at this point.
Garbage!
