What game(s) are you playing now?

only as long as you are subscribed. but the $30 lasts a full year, then you have to renew

 

But wouldn't you have to be online for it to know you're subscribed? Therefore, you couldn't play without an internet connection...

 

you do have to log in to xbox for it to verify. i took my xbox to a cabin once with very spotty wifi... had to login for it to "verify" but then after it disconnected it still worked as long as I didnt turn it off.

but yes, you would need to connect to the internet

 

That's what I figured. Basically, I have to buy physical disc and make sure it isn't an "internet required" game since she won't always have internet access.

Back in the day you just bought a damn game and put it in and went to town... This new fangled **** seems all too complicated.

 

Not complicated... arguably unnecessary, but not complicated.

 

My biggest beef with gaming today is the forced subscription to play online BS. You pay $300+ for the console. $60 a pop for new games. Yet they gotta squeeze extra cash out of you just for the privilege of doing something that's always been free previously.

 

Anybody played Arkham Knight or Until Dawn? Thoughts? Trying to figure out my next purchase after finishing Uncharted and considering these two.

 

Just leave Arkham Knight alone. 100% pure let down imo.

 

I don't know. For me, atleast 1/2 the time I play Madden 17, it says EA servers unavailable, but I have no problem playing the game.
