Is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance supposed to freeze whenever i try to play it? (XBOX 360 S)

So i redownloaded my digital copy of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance to a 250GB USB (because my hdd is 4gb and MGR:R is 7.4 GB)

For extra context this was free because of xbox live gold (don't have Gold anymore but when i installed it first when it was free with gold i did have a gold subscription). So then i waited an hour or two for it to finish downloading to the usb. went to
the games section on the Dashboard, and then pressed A to boot the game up. a couple seconds later, i notice that it's taking a peculiar amount of time to load. then i try to press the home button, not even a sound plays, nothing appears on the screen, it's
just a black screen. so then i wait 3 or so hours to see if it was just taking a while to load, try to open the home menu up, nope, still a silent black screen. then i go to shut down my xbox 360 S, reboot, go to the main drive and usb, on the main drive there's
a title update, so i move that to the usb that has the full game of MGR:R, and whaddya know? it still didn't work after doing that, then i reboot again, try some more things, still nothing.

So that brings me to ask, is this supposed to happen with the full game?

I think Far Cry Blood Dragon was given away by Ubisoft and not Microsoft, so that should be a permanent title for you.

I want to point out that what the post above says is true for Xbox One games only, 360 games with gold are supposed to still be yours even after your subscription runs out. So the issue seems to be something else

If you got the game from Games with Gold and no longer have gold you can no longer play it, however, if you resubscribed to gold you would be able to play it again.

i installed a demo of the game to the HDD and it worked, but the full game doesn't work when i play it from a USB i installed it to?

it was officially purchased bc i got the game when it was free on games with gold, then years later i cancelled gold, and it still installs and shows up as a game, achievements and all, it just won't let me play. yet when i install the demo to
the internal HDD because the demo is 1.89 GB (that means the demo is the only way i could test the theory), the demo works.
