I enjoy BC a lot. It's a selling point for me. A least a third of my time on my Wii U and 3DS is Wii and DS games.

There are a few old 360 games that I still have and haven't finished. BC has been great especially since my 360 is being used by someone else.

I wonder of we will get OG Xbox BC?

I need Crimson Skies.

There are a ton of OG Xbox games I would love to play...I mean I still have my OG Xbox, but it is really nice having your library on one device. But outside of Crimson Skies, I would love:

Jade Empire
SW KOTOR
SW KOTOR 2
Forza Motorsport
Midtown Madness
Morrowind
Sudeki
PGR2
Shenmue 2
Rallisport Challenge 2
JSRF
Black
Ninja Gaiden Black

and I really cant understand how there can be negative comments in regards to a FREE feature provided to Xbox One owners. I mean, there is NO downside to this program, yet some have to complain about it. The only complaint I could understand if there was a particular game you want to be BC and it is not..yet. Outside of that, I see no reason for any negative comments.

Bashing BC is so weird. I swear New Vegas looks and plays better on xb1 than it ever did for me on 360. Nothing wrong with playing old games and it's even better not having to hook up the old console to do it.

Haters gonna Hate.
I'm finally playing Witcher 2 since my PC can't run it and I got 3 on PS4, so I'm catching up.

Nope, must be because the XBO is SO BAD, no other reason to play Witcher 2, no sir.

How is it a trolling & a drive-by shit post?

That's what I don't get.

Phil makes a statement saying BC is a success and thanking those who use it. Reasonable people say "yeah, it's great, I like having more options. Kudos"

You and a few others come driving through in your NoFun Toyota Prius and say "that's not that great if people prefer playing old games instead of new ones", which has jack all to do with the topic at hand and hilariously wrong.

Then you throw a tantrum worse than my 2yr old and play the holier than thou card when people properly call you out on it.

Go make a thread about it instead of crapping up this one. You seem to like expressing your feelings that way, anyway

Forgot about Fushion Frenzy!!! I have a ton of OG Xbox games, I only listed the ones I could remember, but there are many more that I would love. We are at 300+ 360 games after one year, let's hope they continue the same pace and they are able to get another 300 by the time Scorpio launches.

No, I don't. The one that I ignored not too long ago (watdaeff4) should have no business derailing the thread & making it look all about me for no real reason by posting my old thread.

That's what really drove me up the wall. But there's a thing called karma. I hope that he gets what's his.

Damn guys, it was the first thing that pop into my mind, why else would people play last gen games? (that you already passed 3 years ago mind you)

Obviously because there are no good new gen games at the moment or they are waiting for new games to come out. Right?
Are you serious? The 50% number doesn't mean that those XBO owners don't play XBO games. It just means that they have tried a BC X360 game at some point.

Also.. you have no way of knowing if the XBO owners have played those 360 games before or not.

So what would you say with those buying the Uncharted or God of War collections?

Or Skyrim SE? GTA V? The Last of Us? The fuck many Kingdom Hearts #'s they keep dumping?


I can keep going
 
Besides winning?/s

Is there some breakdown of what games are being played?

Winning what? I would like Sony to offer this, especially with games like Warhawk, Killzone 2 and Heavenly Sword.

It's a nice feature, not massively important to me but still, convenient
 
My 360 backlog is chasing me now lol so many games

BC is a godsend, if it wasn't for it I wouldn't have gotten into or finished the mass effect and Fallout games. And now I'm a huge fan of both franchises.

Deep into his 30th decade
I like to play Sonic and Knuckles BC.

What's that mean, no good games on the last 4 generations of systems?
 
Xbox owner since July, while I have my fair share of XBO titles. I'd wager that a lot of my gaming time has been devoted to BC titles. Recently finished Arkham Asylum and currently part way through Arkham City (technically not BC titles.....but remasters from the 360 era).

Dark Souls and the XBLA version of Frogger eat up a fair few hours of time every week.

like PS Now and have zero issues with it, of course it varies by location.

I find value in it because I didn't play much PS3 games last gen and 300+ titles is really good offer to play unlimited times

Ah I see.
