Was this announced or is it a shadow drop? Can't recall an announcement. Although I guess everyone has probably played it by now. edit: there's more to come https://twitter.com/XboxGamePass/status/1676577459733495811?s=20

I haven't played a GTA since the 360 era, so, neat!

I just bought two of the discounted Xbox headsets, one for my wife and one for me. Thanks for the tip, I hope they don't suck.

Just miserable misanthropy the whole way through. But it has an awesome world and they reverted the weightier driving from IV. I liked that; I know others didn’t. Kinda went nuts on that game when it came out and then promptly forgot all about it. Glad I can revisit it.

GTAV has been on Gamepass before. The single player is one of the best open world titles, but the online is awful.

My kid is going to try and steal one for when we play Diablo 2/3 together. I also remember reading you can connect them to the nintendo switch.

I bought the X version of GTA V like 4 months ago and just got around to starting it last week so this is a huge blow but I'm happy for you guys lol. At least I'll start getting Microsoft points.

I ordered a headset too. I tripped over the cord of my wired headset last week, and 50 bucks is a good price. I said come in! posted:GTAV has been on Gamepass before. The single player is one of the best open world titles, but the online is awful. How often do games leave Gamepass and come back?

I wish I could just download a 100% save file for GTAV on the X, because all I wanna do is wander around that world. I beat the story ages and ages ago, I don't feel like doing a bunch of it all over again.

I think so? So maybe I should just try that. But tooling around in nice cars/flying things/etc. (and having the firepower to never worry about anything) was a lot of the fun of, like, a fully completed San Andreas.

Yeah you can launch online and load a private session and just gently caress around. Probably about as many cutscenes and forced intro missions as single player. And your phone and notifications are going to go bonkers so turn that poo poo off in the settings. The game is gorgeous on the current hardware, especially at night in the rain.

Twerk from Home posted:Is GTA V the best looking Xbox 360 game out there, or is there something else with a claim to that crown? I'd say so. At least if we're not counting something extremely stylized and cartoony like a Banjo game. I'd say ME2 was up there for me in terms of visuals. Can't think of anything else that comes close. Yeah there are a ton of good looking games on 360 but GTA V was the tail end of the console and just had some much of everything.

the best looking xbox 360 game is viva pinata, which is also just the best 360 game in general

I dunno how it looks on the 360, but the Bone version of MGSV holds up incredibly well for never getting an X enhancement.

Arcade Paradise came out last week on Game Pass and seems pretty rad? I'm a few hours in and digging trying to balance the laundry business and also managing and playing the arcade games in the back.

Trying to download the X/S version of GTA and while I know Online is apparently forced to come with it, the Queue is showing it's JUST GTA Online at 101 gigs. Anyone know if the tile is wrong and it's the actual base game too?

It should be both, yeah. My install launches from GTA Online but I just hit the bumper to move over to story mode

I never once dabbled in the online experience... Only the story stuff... Is the online experience even approachable nowadays or is it basically a no-go if you haven't spent hundreds of hours in it?

No go in public and long term but its fun to be in a private instance with some friends doing some of the smaller "go here and shoot stuff then escape" type missions.

There was actually a recent quality of life patch that made the online significantly more reasonable. But yeah, an open server is probably not great (at least the recent console versions don't have a mass cheater problem, though!)
