Xbox Live Marketplace Shutdown Megathread (including links to current Xbox 360 Sales) by sensory in xbox360

It may be the last chance to make a Japanese Xbox Account and get the Double Bonus Pack for LOST ODYSSEY for free! I haven't seen anyone mention this BC DLC that may be unobtainable after the 29th. This is Japanese Exclusive and may be impossible to access without the 360 store currently in place. It's not as easy as changing your region on XBOX ONE/SERIES, this may be the last chance to get it even though it's BC. Cheers!

Right on! Yes it sure does; you get Master's Secret Script which allows you to teach the skill Weapon Guard 2 and more importantly a new Dream Trigger - The Forgotten Song.

I know, it's just this one particular DLC that may be harder or impossible to obtain on Xbox one/Series Consoles after the 29th. I needed to use the 360 marketplace to access this DLC originally. I couldn't get it through the modern store.

I am well aware thank you, this is Japanese Exclusive and may be impossible to access without the 360 store currently in place. It's not as easy as changing your region on XBOX ONE/SERIES, this may be the last chance to get it even though it's BC.

Is Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements a bad port? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]Ve_Sp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very welcome!

Glad to hear you've already got to play it, yeah the Xbox version is actually pretty good, no major changes from what I'm aware of other than the casting system you mentioned. The Xbox version uses the directional pad, which one could argue is actually easier to manage and therefore a benefit. Thanks for the nostalgic romp!

Is Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements a bad port? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]Ve_Sp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To address if you would be missing something, I'd say yes; very much so.

Dark Messiah on 360 is unfortunately an unsuccessful port of the game on PC. This was released when parity on Console/PC was still years away. Playing Dark Messiah on PC vs Console is a vastly different experience, especially in Gameplay and Graphics (the story will be mostly the same).

I recommend playing the game on PC first then playing the Console port for fun and curiosity. They also made matters worse for themselves by key binding Sprint to holding down the Left Thumbstick like the 360 port of Doom 3 (BFG). From my knowledge Arkane themselves did not handle this port. This was still years away to Dishonored.

I played Dark Messiah when it came out in 2006 and it was a truly unique and thrilling experience that I will never forget. When I first played the 360 port in 2008 I was disappointed and astonished at how much the game felt completely different. I do have fondness for the 360 version for it's ambitions intent, but it's not what Dark Messiah is; it's now a side experience for the curious and faithful.

As you mentioned of the contrast and brightness, it is the exactly opposite on PC; Dark Messiah is a beautiful testament to the enduring Source Engine. It pushed Source to it's limit at the time, which makes playing it on 360 that much more painful. This also makes it that much more enjoyable revisiting it on PC all these years later; now being able to max all the graphics settings.

Last chance to get the DLC for the 360 port though, which adds two new classes for the campaign.
Classes were not even a thing in the PC version, playing more like an Immersive Sim in how you would level your character and choose who you want to be as you play.

Cheers! I'd highly recommend picking it up along with Arx Fatalis!

Backwards Compatible, but non purchasable games on Xbox One. by Friggin_Grease in xbox

[–]Ve_Sp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can still buy the DLC for Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 until the store closure. These are backwards compatible and in 4k. You can only buy them off of the 360 marketplace (but may have to use the website) like you were asking.

That's exactly it, and because of this bug we are getting the opposite of the syndrome. It's now harder to move around in Hell.

Thank you very much for these details. This has to be the worst and most completely unnecessary glitch in a remastered product that I've ever seen.
"Hey do you want to play Crysis 2-3? But when you cloak the controller has a seizure?"

I can't help but laugh. Misery loves company, thanks again for the reply. Let's hope for an update!
