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

Dr Face Doctor4483d ago

There are people that still care about gamerscore?

Entropic4483d ago

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.

MasterD9194482d ago

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.

Perfect Dark Zero - Unique Ideas, Flawed Execution

Perfect Dark Zero launched alongside the Xbox 360 back in 2005, to much criticism. 18 years later, is it worth another look?

x_xavier_x199d ago

Perfect Dark Zero was the first game that I purchased for my XBOX 360. I still have the game in my collection. I think I played it for about 45 minutes in total over the past 18 years. It's a really bad game, and I was so disappointed when I first fired it up almost 20 years ago.

I had fun with the mutiplayer. Didnt feel like Perfect Dark, but still had some fun with it

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.

CrimsonWing69772d ago

I don’t know why they bother, but on the flip side PS+ is following the same path now that they have Spartacus.

RosweeSon772d ago

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 🥴🤣

CrimsonWing69772d ago

@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.

vallencer772d ago

@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.

Christopher773d ago

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.

Lightning77773d ago

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.

Deathdeliverer773d ago

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.
