"Viva Piñata, a game nobody bought, tied into a cartoon nobody cares about, was certainly decent enough (though a commercial failure by Rare's standards) but it probably makes sense to hand over the reins to a lesser developer and let them flog it to death instead After all, Krome did such a good job with, er... Ty The Tasmanian Tiger. Still, already well versed in the dark art of talking animals, they couldn't possibly balls up a simple party game... could they?."
It’s time to announce the May Games with Gold lineup! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, flip and bump your way thru Yoku’s Island Express, and solve mind-bending puzzles in The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, race across waves in Hydro Thunder Hurricane, and have loads of fun in Viva Piñata Party Animals.
The first VP was pretty fun, never played party animals. Hydro thunder is one of my favorites on the DC and this update was on GwG before but still a fun game for anyone who missed it. Never heard of the other two.
Queue the onslaught of "why do they even bother" comments. While i don't totally disagree that Gold games have been awful, every once in a while one pops on their that I try and end up liking. I mean if you have to pay, why complain about games they give you.
I don’t know why they bother, but on the flip side PS+ is following the same path now that they have Spartacus.
Yeah fifa 22 is just the same as 10/12 year old Xbox 360 games 🙄🤦🏻♂️ 🤣 do people even think about what they are saying let alone actually typing out and pressing add 🥴🤣
@RoweeSon
You’re absolutely right! I don’t know what came over me. I’ll be sure to think before I speak from now on. I appreciate your help with showing me how wrong I am.
@rosweeson
I mean honestly speaking fifa 22 is basically the same as a 10/12 year old 360 game since fifa is basically the same every year.
I think Microsoft is trying to make PsPlus look good with these horrible GWG line up.
They're just trying to get people to move over to GPU for better options. Otherwise, whoever is subscribed just doesn't care about the games and just online stuff.
Basically.
I've said this latest month but GWG is strictly for the casuals who have gold only. Just like you said if you want better options then get Gamepass. GWG is no longer for the hardcore audience anymore.
The ONLY thing bad about gamepass is how Microsoft completely started taking dumps on games with gold ever since. In my opinion (OPINION) PlayStation plus gave better offerings most of the time but there were times where games with gold would win a few FOR ME. Now it’s a landslide. They should put the same effort into games with gold as they do gamespass. Just take the games off, reduce the price, and call it Xbox Live again.
This article describes five behaviors that go above and beyond normal achievement hunting, suggesting a severe Gamerscore addiction.
im nowhere near that bad. did not play kids games (apart from Kung Fu panda that came with my xbox and was NOT EASY FOR ACHIEVEMENTS) and i don't use a robot or play hannah montana.
those 5 signs are BAD.. but i do like my gamerscore
I would definitely say if you find yourself following in the path of any one of these warning signs, you may have a problem, haha.
Gamerscore is a great idea and concept, but I'd love to see it yield more tangible rewards for those who are truly dedicated to it.
It would be nice to gain something in-game from the achievements that constantly pop up.
I still believe that a higher gamerscore tends to tell a bit more about the player than people think. You have to play A LOT of games to get what is considered to be a respectable score...The only way you do that is by playing games outside of the popularity charts as well.
And without a doubt it may be bit tacky to get an achievement for random things in-game but it is also somehow genuinely satisfying.

Yes, those awesome and often immature moments in games that make us laugh, and get us a little queasy: flatulence, burping, urinating - they are all great ways to advance through a level or defeat an enemy. If projectile vomiting is more your thing then keep reading because I've got that covered too."

SO True. Viva Pinata sucks bad, even my lil bro refuse to watch it.
Now no matter how Good M rated Xclsuives Xbox360 will get , it won't succeed because there is no games for causal gamers and kids , unlike the PS3 , it has an amazing variety of games which means Hardcore gamers and Casual gamers can enjoy it
stop trying to be like your superiors, Microcrap. stick to your shooters
Viva Pinata is actually an awesome game which flopped because MS decided to market Gears of War instead. This version of Viva Pinata was not made by Rare but another company.
I do hope that Rare will release Viva Pinata 2 and BK3 maybe next year.
i loved viva pinata, and while party animals isnt as deep or exciteing it still has enough brainless fun in it to keep me and a few friends entertained for an hour or two when we are sick of all the stratergy and thinking of other games
viva pinata party animals isnt a serious game, people need to remember it is aimed at kids and social gamers, i have a friend who still grabs the four controllers out to play mario kart on the gamecube, not everyday though its not that kind of game, just when your in the mood for some fun with friends, same goes when she comes over here, we grab out the four controlls and play VPPA, bit of a race...few party games...its all good
its not a action game so its instantly hated on, same as fusion frenzy (hated the host in that one though) take party animals for what it is, an occasional party game with friends, i could say rpg's suck for makeing me think too hard
