Oh damn, just realized that non-backwards compatible 360 games don’t grant Mythic achievements, bummer!!

ok question for true uncs/sickos: the bonus disc that came with Quake 4 on Xbox 360 included an hd remaster of Quake II. It had achievements, but they were (infamously) worth 0 gamerscore. If you got all the achievements, do they grant you a Mythic?

I’m more excited about this holiday’s big game releases than I have been in years. I want to play Ace Combat 8, Control Resonant (waiting for physical), Belmont’s Curse, Star Wars Galactic Racer, Gears E-Day, WoW: Forever, and maybe OoT Remake and GTA VI. Incredible variety of games in my wheelhouse

The PS360 era was such a weird time for movie tie-in games. Outside of King Kong and X-Men Origins: Wolverine are there any that are remembered fondly? (I’m personally a fan of 007: Quantum of Solace on 360)

So far I’m really enjoying Solo Self Found in Diablo IV. It feels a bit quieter and less overwhelming

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.
The dock of Myst Island from the original version of the game. A wooden dock ends at a spiral staircase that leads up to giant gears on a hillside. A ship is sunk in the water on the right, and parts of buildings are visible on the left.

It’s a bummer to see so much 343i/Halo Studios hate the past few days. In spite of the shitty people in power at various points, I think their output managed to be pretty great. and while I didn’t really get some of the narrative choices, I genuinely had fun with all their games, campaign and multi

Wrapped up the Skyborne starting area and arrived on Azeroth in the WoW: Forever beta. Two thoughts: 1) the Skyborne story absolutely delivered; great addition to Warcraft lore with a lot of future potential and 2) WoW: Forever has the juice. This shit rules.

The brutal layoffs and restructuring within Xbox are failures of various people in positions of power across the past decade-and-a-half (and this garbage-ass country/economy). Blaming/mocking/punishing the devs is bullshit.
