That's not true at all. While most of the post is your opinion on the game, this after content DLC isn't something that "should have been" on the disc at all.
What people fail to understand is, there is a full month between when we get the game and when it goes gold for them to work on DLC. On top of that, you've got any amount of time between release of the game and the release of the DLC that they could have been working on it. Just because they had DLC planned, doesn't mean they withheld it from the disc.
If anything, it's a ridiculous argument in the first place. They are extending our game experiences within a reasonable amount of time from release to keep us entertained if we like the game - it's been almost 2 months since Fable 2's release when this comes out. You can't have it both ways.
It's just like with the GTA4 DLC, everyones on a great big whine about how they dont care anymore because it's been so long coming. Then they go to another thread and complain about early DLC. There is just no pleasing people..
The worst thing is people whining about the GTA4 DLC price point, failing to remember that it will be 10 months of hard work when you pick it up.
End Rantage. I just hate all this "DONT SUPPORT" crap when it's unjustified (and this mostly wasnt even aimed at you hermit, sorry! just people who complain about dlc in general)
Good for you. I've got it worse. That happened to me for the third time (I've never had RROD, only E74) a day after my warranty ran out, which is actually the second time it has E74'd out of warranty (the first time I just brought an Elite).
What makes it worse is my brand new purchased Elite (the one that's recently broken) had the serial registered with Xbox one day before me purchasing it out of Gamestation, so I have to buy a new console as I cannot prove it's mine.
I loved the demo but it's not looking good. 1UP gave it a C- which is like a 6 or something.
To be fair, the review is atrocious and that reviewer should be shot. It just sounds like he hated the game before he even played it, and he doesn't even really elaborate why that is. His page is not even a word page long either.
It's funny that Halo 3 has overtaken CoD4 as king of live once again. It's highly supported with monthly playlist changes, regular spurts of new maps and a company that cares about it.
Personally, I think if CoD4 never had Prestige it would have been forgotten long ago. I find it so mediocre and easy that I can't bear the game anymore - and this is coming from a MASSIVE CoD fan (bar CoD4 which i hate).
Uhm this is kinda weird but your wrong about it not being confirmed. Shane Kim confirmed Banjo 3 for this year, and there was an announcement trailer for it a few years ago (the one with the blueprints).
Funnier thing is, you guys recently reported the Shane Kim story. Your slipping X3F!
Hate to break it to you guys, but ONLINE CO-OP has not been confirmed. 2 player co-op yes, online not confirmed.
That's not to say it won't happen. To be honest, I think you can guarentee it will happen. However, they only talked about "bringing a friends profile to your house" and hitting the start button on a 2nd controller to jump in.
NO ONLINE CO-OP confirmation yet guys to those who said it's confirmed. Sorry!
Revealed for the first time? Ha where have you been X3F?! Your an Xbox 360 fansite!
This was announced in 2005 when they said it would release THIS YEAR. There's even trailers from way back then if you want me to show you.
This isn't a new announcement - it's a 3 year old one! (haha) This is just new footage / info and it looks fantastic I must say! The graphics looks really good, like crackdown without the cell shading and hi-res versions.
Are you sure they are placeholder graphics? They look fine to me.
Are you kidding me? How can you look at this game and go "sucks". I think people miss the point of this game.
This is an ACTION RPG as stated in the post above. This game has 4 player co-op, multiple character types (as seen in the video - Beserker is the type using two weapons up close, Ranger is the guy using the dual pistols ect) and some of the best graphics I've ever seen.
Don't get me wrong, I am dubious as to if it's going to be either fantastic or just good, but I'm expecting this to top Mass Effect. Anyone who says it's gonna suck really needs to stop worshiping just the FPS genre.
He's not heading it up at all. This guy is coming in to lead on MICROSOFT's side, not Epics. Cliffy B is still in charge, it's just this guy is coming in for Microsoft as producers of the game.
I believe his roll will be to advise, whereas Cliffy B's is to create. There's more to it than that I would guess, but Cliffy and Crew still calls the shots.

You could have it so much worse.
