Far Cry 5 in my opinion was the worst game in the whole series. I didn't think Far Cry 4 was that great either. There really hasn't been a good Far Cry game since Far Cry 3. However Far Cry 6 has me intrigued. I like the idea of being a revolutionary fighter, in corrupt fascist South American Country the Cuba inspired setting is just so cool to me. Let's hope they've learned from their mistakes and can deliver.
@lurker_: Those games aren't loaded with micro transactions. and Capcom and Square released other games in between. Rockstar has pretty abandoned all of their other franchises.
@mogan: I never said they have to stop supporting it.
This should be a free upgrade for people who already bought the game. Given how much money they have made of GTA onlne. They are just being greedy at this point and there is no damage controlling you can do that will change that.
Charging three times for the same game is the epitome of anti consumer practices.
I find the people who trash Xbox One's backwards compatibility feature and say things like "Who cares about backwards compatibility no one wants to play old games" Are almost always the same ones that are first in line to shell out money whenever their favorite game from last generation gets a remaster. Good games are good games whether they are old or new.
I'm not going to make excuses for the Xbox One's weak exclusive offerings, but I will still give credit where credit is due. Backwards compatibliy is a great feature and it is beautifully implanted on the Xbox One. Being able to take you library with you and play your old games on your new hardware is a very good thing and I don't understand why people trash it or act like it's a bad thing.
and for those who say Xbox has no games... well yes, Their exclusive offerings as of late have been underwhelming compared to the competition and they do need to do better I admit that. However techncially the Xbox One has more games to play then any other console right now. If you count the almost 500 backwards compatible Xbox 360/Xbox games The Xbox One has a library of almost 2000 games. That's massive. Aside from all the current gen stuff, thanks to backwards compatiblity, The entire Mass Effect series is playable on Xbox One, The entire Dead Space series is playable on Xbox One, The entire Assassin's Creed series is playable on Xbox One. The entire Halo series, The entire Gears of War series, The entire Dragon Age series, I could go on.
and another poster made an excellent point, if playing old games is a bad thing, does that mean we shouldnt' read old books or watch old movies?
A completely pointless addition. You could already play these on Xbox One. They even gave away the first season on games with gold. I mean really, was anyone asking for these to become backwards compatible?
Come on Microsoft, put games on backwards compat that people actually want and care about!
