Annnnnd that's the car payment.
I've played Battlefield 1 so many times I've thinned the disc through friction by 6 microns...so I've ordered the new (old) COD 4 MW remastered for XBox One.
Speaking of car payments, over the years with three boys, I've spent probably the equivalent of a Bugatti on computer games, Gameboys, GameCubes, Gaming Chairs with built in speakers and rumble options, at least three Xbox 360s, not to mention hundreds of games and Xbox 1, which of course, cannot play any of those games. But I'm not complaining. Video games and ammo are the essential elements of the masculine life style.

Not so, well mostly. The XB1 has an ever growing compatibility list with old 360 games. You can go here to check the list. All you have to do is plop the old 360 disk in and it will download the game. The only thing is you need to have an ass load of drive space to accommodate the downloads. I used it to replay the old Mass Effect games and some of the older HALO games before I purchased the remastered edition.
Thanks for the link.
And thanks to your tip, we're downloading COD:World at War right now. Apparently some 360 games you can and some you can't, but COD:WaW and COD:Black Ops are downloadable.

I have Origin Access (there's a 10 hour trial that went live yesterday). As far as how it is:
The combat is loads of fun. The jet pack is pretty damn cool, especially when combined with power usage. My only complaints with the combat is that sometimes I'd prefer if the camera didn't get so close to my character and that the auto cover system is crap. The character creator is also crap, but apparently they're working on making it better. The story hasn't blown me away, but I haven't really gotten that far into it. The characters seem cool, but, once again, I didn't get too far and haven't done loads of talking to them. The planets are huge and beautiful, but I'm not sure if BioWare managed to fill them up with quests that actually matter, instead of fetch quests. The dialogue system is far better than the original trilogy's, as it tells you what tone you'll be using when you say stuff. There is some cheesy dialogue, but it's not that big of a deal. The voice actors (barring a couple) are all good, if not great. The biggest complaint I have for actual gameplay would be that there are some buggy walking animations (they're actually pretty hilarious, though) and the facial animations (which aren't hilarious) are just downright weird at times. If the first couple of hours are any indication of how the rest of the game will be, this will definitely be one of my favorites of the year.

Dude thanks! By the way, did they ever address how the humans, turians, and other races made it to Andromeda? Cause it seems like the Andromeda crew are not the first on scene. Which makes me wonder if the other races there are from the post Shepard saving the galaxy phase.

n article a while back noted that the people and races seen in Andromeda left their origin galaxy around the end of ME2 and were in stasis for 600 some odd years until they arrived in Andromeda. So they would not be likely to know what all had happened in the Milky Way.
My thanks to @ShadowSpear for pointing this out, but Civ 6 has a free 60-turn demo available. Reviews for the AI suck, but the rest of the game seems to be good. I like what I saw.
Which given the insane amount of mods available is a much, much better deal IMO.
Computer or Xbox?Agreed. It's downloading
We're the ruling class, we don't play on some peasant's console.
I would buy a console for a handful of games, otherwise....no chance in hell.
So...the deal with the remastered COD4:MW for Xbox 1 is you have to buy COD:Infinite Warfare for $60 and with it you get a code to download the older (better IMO) game. Not a bad deal if it works.
