I don't seem to recall there being any online multiplayer in the remastered MW2 campaign considering that it is, you know, just the campaign. but thanks for letting us know I guess lol

all of them are good too. except WWII but i don't think the term "world war 2" technically counts as a Call of Duty sequel

everybody says they want MW2 remastered but the nanosecond it became available people would be bitching about the weapon balance like it wasn't always an insanely hosed up akimbo UMP45 wasteland. but that doesn't make me want it any less.

COD has been poo poo for a long time but I would pay a stupid amount of money for an online multiplayer game that took all the content from Modern Warfare 1, 2 & 3 and put it in one package so all the maps, perks, killstreaks etc. were all available. Yeah MW2 had some stupidly broken builds but that was part of the charm anyways and if you're playing the multiplayer from the games I mentioned you know what you're getting. I still played MW3 multiplayer for far longer than I should have because it was so comically over the top when killstreaks started rolling and that trilogy really was something special.

Kinda wish Bungie was still with Activision just for the hilarity of the situation.

I wonder how fluid the final price is, whether they agreed to a set rate to market cap or relative at closing time. Announcing that they're going to add a large chunk of the catalog to gamepass is sure to stymy upcoming sales and affect stock prices when sales goals aren't met.

Holy poo poo I completely forgot about the Tony Hawk IP despite the 1&2 remaster being amazing. I hope Xbox bring the IP back, even if it's just letting the same studio give the same treatment to THPS 3&4 before moving on to the Underground games.

What I wonder is, how long has this buyout been under talks? I'm not a buyer of Activiation or Blizzard titles (even before everything kicked off; I just like other stuff), but the sense I had was that even before all the horrible poo poo came out, they're lustre had been waning (I acknowledge I could be dead wrong there).

That is, did MS smell blood in the water and enter talks, or was it more that stuff was already under discussion, the wave of horrible poo poo breaks, and MS maybe were in a position negotiate a lower price accordingly? Not that I expect we'll ever know. Just random pondering.

Edit: Now I think on it, the 'wave' broke over Activision a pretty long time ago at this point? I think the fact that there has been *so* much poo poo that has kept coming out, it kept the matter of horrible poo poo seeming 'new', in terms of news.

i keep telling myself to get gamepass but does it have anything i want to play. i will probably play psychonauts 2 but might just buy it outright if there's nothing else on there i want to play

here's what i've used series x for so far:
cuphead
blu ray
spelunky
driving around aimlessly in forza horizon 4 while really high (this is no longer fun)
friends playing games they already have on playstation on my xbox so they can bitch about the controller

my switch has gotten lots of use:
hades
metroid
mario kart
the messenger
dead cell
hollow knight
lots of other 2d roguelike/metroidvania

i guess i could buy some of those games again on xbox

list of games that are not fun:
elder scroll
3rd-person open world (gta, rdr, some others i've played and don't remember)
1st-person shootymans (halo, gear, cod, whatever they're all the same thing)
sport
game where you can go different places but there is no map. i am a huge idiot and get lost v.easily so games like sekiro and bloodborne are v.hard for me but for the wrong reason
game with cutscenes i can't skip

Heh I’m worse I did the Xbox live gold -> GPU upgrade (3 years) and never have I used it, heck I think it runs out this year :psyduck:, I just prefer my digital leases to be on steam I guess…

At this juncture MS seems to care about pc gaming again so it’s whatever, if it gets me a new vegas 2 and/or a blizzard game not created by breastmilk thieves, and vicarious visions working on Tony hawk 3 + 4 instead of being in Diablo jail, then it’s worth it.

Insane MS owns such much gaming IP now but it’s basically going to be Food Industry 2.0 except with 3 players instead of ~10

No idea but I'm interested in how they handle things with Blizzard since Diablo 4 development seems to have gone wonky and Overwatch 2 is stuck in development hell. I hope in the case of the latter they just cancel it and do a re-launch of the original Overwatch with all the new maps and modes so we get to keep 6v6 rather than being reverted to 5v5 which has looked terrible every time they've shown it. Just do a relaunch with all the new multiplayer stuff and have the singleplayer campaign they've been working on be standalone to buy separately. I've been dreading OW2 launching since they said the multiplayer will merge with the first game which means those of us who don't want 5v5 will still end up having it and that would probably kill the game. After the backlash and delays it's clear they don't know what to do any more.
