I picked it up during a digital sale near the Xbox One release and ended up giving away my 360 so I never got a chance to play it. I'll give it a go now.

Oh and sales are up 5000% on Amazon

What's wrong with it? I think it's pretty straightforward.

I'm pretty stoked to play this now. Never got a chance to play when it came out.

I can't speak for the Xbone, but netflix on the 360 was hot garbage. Hated using it. Why my ps3 became my netflix box.

The whole OS seems clunky to me. That doesn't bother me though because I don't need more than Netflix. I don't run my Directv through it anymore because the XB1 would dick up the HD signal all the time.

The Netflix app freezes up for me when it loads to the profile screen. It doesn't respond to the controller's input even though the main OS does. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough for me to be irritated by it. The voice commands are useless as well. It's more convenient than using my PS4 for Netflix though.

Right on. That happens with mine if I cut it off without "quitting" the program. When I turn the console back on and load Netflix again it will freeze. This does not happen if I "quit" Netflix from the home screen after using it.

Fired the frick up for this.

I got to play it for like four hours several months ago when Microsoft accidentally released it.

I've probably gone through and beaten the game 5-6 times already, but it's such an incredible game.

I'll give that a shot and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks.

Yeah there are several games/apps that don't use the resume feature well. A while back I had to force quit Rocket League every day or else it had distorted music and a lag every 3-4 seconds that made it unplayable. Not sure if it's a developer issue or something Microsoft can fix. Probably both

What i like about backwards capability, is, the store/xbox knows what games u owned.

i owned 1 game for a while, then sold, back in 360 days. When it went to backwards capability, it claimed it as a game i owned, so i was able to download and play.

Never played Red Dead before might as well see what all the hype is about while it's only $7.50



Apparently it looks pretty good for a bc game too

it's 7.50 but that is w/o the DLC, which i believe was really good.

one is 9$ another 10ish, so its close to 30 for whole game and dlc
