I like to play Sonic and Knuckles BC.

What's that mean, no good games on the last 4 generations of systems?
You are the reason why there literally are no games left to play in the world.

I, for one, welcome this new Sonic & Knuckles era with open arms.

Edit: Oh wow. This thread is amazing. If there is one reason for why the BC program needs to continue, it's the responses in this thread.

It's why I bought an Xbox one S. for BC of lost odyssey and blue dragon......and vesperia?

Take note MS. And maybe re-release these games digitally.
 
Don't use BC much myself atm but it's really cool to get to introduce my kid to games he missed out on. Of course he only plays them for like a week before going back to goddamn Minecraft and Roblox. I'll get back into BC games when I clear my current gen shortlist of games I wanna beat.

Shouldn't that speak to the quality of your console's games (or today's games) more than anything else?

There are so many games out there releasing almost every week and people would rather play 360 games?

It was also a console that had a 10 year life span, and not everyone has the time or money to play all the games that they want at release.

Or it could be a nice convenience to replay something you enjoyed last generation or give somebody a chance to revisit something they missed out on, all the while the new stuff is there too, on the one console.

I just don't understand how is this allowed in here. This and many post is straight up trolling and shitposting.

Gaf is much better than this.

Oh, and he loves to pay for his BC to work. Just amazing.

Oh wow. LMAO.

Again, I challenge anyone to call this negative when:

1. It is FREE
2. You can use your physical 360 games
3. If you have a digital license for a 360 game, it shows up in your ready to install que.
4. It is FREE

I just am at a lost how we can have people shit posting like we have for something that is completely free. There is nothing about the 360 BC program that can be considered a negative to the point we have people shit posting in this thread like we have.
 
Really hope you are getting paid for your hard work otherwise it looks really dumb now.lol

I'm legitimately at a loss here, OK let me get this straight. I posted right after I read the OP therefore I did not see the shitposting that was going on in this thread. Therefore I removed my first post to not get mixed in with the shitposters. Then corrected my statement just so people woukd think just because my views on the high percentage of people playing BC match the shitposting that I am somehow getting paid for this?

While others laugh at me somehow getting exposed for using PS Now and PS2 classics to get trophies, that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else if not for that.

Well OK then, carry on.

You're downplaying an amazing console feature but then saying stuff like this. Whuuuut?

I really appreciate having the BC games for many reasons; one being, having all my favorite games in one console which made for less wires and more space on my gaming setup.

I don't see why what Spencer said is so unbelievable since there have been some decent 360 Games with Gold games that are all Backwards Compatible now (like Forza Horizon, XCOM, and Blood Dragon). Although, I suppose I don't really know how many Xbox Live Gold subscribers there are.

I just wanna say that I think the way this thread went is hilarious. Someone "threatening" to put someone else on their ignore list is fuh-reahing adorable to me.

Backwards compatibility is awesome. I use it all the time, and I play current games too.

It seems like for some it physically pains them to read any good news about Microsoft. lol

I don't get it, either. I get that the Xbox One was a fucked up mess when it launched, but they've made some very positive moves in the past year and I look forward to a new chapter.

My 360 got to the point where it would take forever to launch stuff. It was a newerish slim 360 too. So many times my guide would get hung up and freeze. Can't go back to that slow ass system after playing on Xbox One.

To me it seems like whenever a MS type of thread is created, weather it is something positive or even negative, certain people get an alert that requires them to find the thread and shit post. I don't know any other reason why people would shit post this thread, but it is happening.

Man, this was a fucked thread. Expected though!

Good on MS. If I had and XB1 I'd use BC. I wish PS4 had BC if only for Wipeout.

Never meant to downplay the feature, was just basing my thoughts on the high percentage in use but then people clarified to me that it was people accessing the feature not using it. So I understand now. Again, I apologize if I shitposted.
 
If you have a problem with a post, please PM moderation. We are not the all-seeing eye, knowing the exact content of every post and poster in every thread.

Crispy Boar's opening post was fine and not in shitpost territory, regardless of how you may have felt about the opinion. Dissenting opinions on a topic are fine, unless delivered in a manner against the code of conduct. Derailing an entire thread however is not fine. That's on that poster, but also many here.

Discuss the topic, not the posters. If you have a problem that you feel requires moderation, PM a mod. We clear?

I would have probably went with Gears of War 4 or Forza Horizons 3. Dead Rising 4 definitely earned you more fanboy cred though.

0% of PS4 owners are using bc. Does it sting or something?
It does damage the theory that nobody ever for any reason would like to play their older games on a single console.

The Xbox One hate is fucking hilarious.

It's really not,

Didn't really use it when I had my XB1, but of course 2 weeks after trading it in for my Pro Shadowrun is added to the list.

That one game probably would have halted my trade assuming there are still some people playing.

Man, why can't GAF play nice. If you wanna be a console warrior and shit post about Xbox BC compared to PS Now, take it to virtual alleyway.

Regarding BC, good on MS making some people happy. I'm still pissed Sony dropped the ball on having PS2 and PS1 BC

It's a great reason to own an Xbone. It helps when the games I don't already own are usually pretty cheap. Got Oblivion a few days ago for only $15 and that's what I've been playing lately.

Tough shit really isn't it. You can always buy another one in the future mate.
