5 Star Wars games and not one of them is Jedi Outcast which is one of the best SW games ever made. Fucking BULLSHIT!
Bring back og xbox servers, along with halo 2
So excited to see Destin on this episode!!! Hell ya
Xbox was on such a ride in the original Xbox days. Wish Xbox can go back to that momentum, risk and variety. Thank you for your OXM coverage Ryan
Star wars republic commando is the greatest game of all time
Funny, Pandemic made multiple games on that list, Destroy All Humans and Battlefront also
I wanna see Toy Story 2, jak and daxter
we need burnout 3 and burnout revenge and midnight club dub edition remix and fight night champion.
I still have P.T. on my PS4 !
the most powerful console ever built, to play backwards compatible games!!!!!! YAY!! wheres all the new games?
Unlocked should ask the NVC guys about how they got through the Pre-Switch gaming drought.
DESTIN!!! 😀
@Unlocked , Will we be able to play xbox original games online?
Whys Origins??? — but a certified gaming journalist…lol
They say it's gone…..RABBID.
Ryan's twitter name finally clicked. Especially in the gaming community, the first thing that came to mind with DMC was Devil May Cry which I was never convinced that's what his name was referring to. It didn't seem to fit his personality and it was kind of a terrible name. Thanks to his shirt though DMC_Ryan is actually Delorean Motor Company. Now it all makes sense. Was I alone with this one?
5 pandemic games!!!
God Of War 10 out of 10! More proof u dont need xbox one: All you need is PS4 Pro, Switch and high end PC! R.I.P. Xbox… Want to play the BEST games THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE? GET a PS4 PRO, SWITCH and HIGH END PC! XBOX is pointless! R.I.P. XBOX! BEST exclusives PS4! Want to play games on the go SWITCH! MARIO ZELDA BEST GAMES! Want to play a games available on PS4 and xbox and PC. GET THE PC version! BEST VERSION! Want to play the best XBOX GAMES…..GET IT ON PC! recent Halo games not on pc BUT HALO sucks in my opinion! The rest is all FACTS! FACT!
"It took Sony 10 years to get it's first party to start shooting at all cylinders" 😂😂 Ryan Ryan Sony has been going strong since day 1 since the PlayStation 1 Son
Sonic Generations is my favorite Sonic Game. Was so glad to see this RedDead get X updates!
Regarding Microsoft not making any money from the OG XBox games, on a XBox Podcast (Microsoft's), I believe it was Albert Pinello said that Microsoft becomes the publisher for these backward compatible games, thus then they would make money off of each sale as the publisher, and on top of the cut they get from a purchase through their online store.
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction was one of the best games of the PS2/Xbox Generation.
Give me Simpsons Hit and Run and I will have playable versions of all the PS2 games I cared about (My PS2 stopped working and I actually thought about buying another) I love Back compat…
XBOX in a nutshell this gen: you can have 4k versions of 15 year old games and retro looking indies while God of War on PS4 gets a 10.
No multiplayer with OG Xbox games? Sounds like the IGN folks have forgotten about system link!
Duck and Katia's deats in Walking Dead and like half of Last of Us were sob inducing heartbreaking moments.
Does anyone remember a game called Men of Valor? (I think that was the name) It was a First Person shooter with a Vietnam setting. I remember thinking at the time that it was really hard though that could be because I was much younger when it came out. I wanna say it was PS 2 or OG xbox. All it took was like 2 shots to kill you, depending on where you were hit. You could rarely ever see the enemy shooting at you, only the muzzle flashes through the brush. It wasn't really ever talked about, even when it first released from what I remember but I thought it was a really good semi Sim/shooter.
Super seducer isn’t a game, but walking simulators like Firewatch are…? Games Journalists. SMH
jedi academy is one of my favorite games!
I bought the OG Xbox for Splinter Cell. I would love to see Xbox get a Splinter Cell exclusive.
hatred is a fun game,don't be such a SJW snowflake.
FINALLY DESTIN IS BACK!!!!!!! the TRUE xbox fanatic ^^
I was playing Star Wars the Force Unleashed on xbox update enhanced, and loooks exactly the same what a bummer
I’m Here for the Destin vs Ryan drama….lol
So… Sony has God of War and MS gets a bunch of backwards compatible games…
Bring the PGR titles as well please
HE'S DESTIN AND HE KNOWS IT!
Destin, Alanah and Brendan are by far the best lineup Unlocked can have! I like Marty, but no offence he doesn't seems so interested in Xbox. And Miranda I don't know… she seems a great person but not sure why for me she just doesn't fit to this show. I would love to have this lineup as a permanent one.
great to see Destin on unlocked again. I've missed his insight.
And that weird mice game that has to do with sneakers…
I want Blinx….
gears is so shitty. it's a macho man stupid shitty running. im looking on the back of the box of full spectrum warrior and it says 480P
Xbox One X > ponystation poo
how is no man's sea? God Of War april 20th 94 on metacritic by 76 critics. name a CONSOLE exclusive on xbox that got a 85. . the sam shit in wildlands is 1 mission and boring and useless.before you act like an idiot andcall me a fanboy. i have a 4K tv a xbox one x and 234940 GS. and 400 games
I love that Microsoft added original Xbox games,just sucks there are no achievements😔
BREAKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Microsoft won this generation for me with this move right here…. well actually I still need jet set radio future then my life is complete!
