  1. That’s my greatest concern for RE4. That it completely fails in living up to the original. The original game was long, scary and action packed. It felt like a good balance of everything. I hope they don’t cut out any section.

  2. Personally, more than KoToR 3, I wonder what the over-under is on us getting a new Rogue Squadron game? At this point I'd eve settle for ports of the Game Cube and 64 games (wonder if anyone from Factor 5 still has the Wii game they developed but never released?)

  3. The only way MS can “get rid” of XBL Gold would be to make playing online free for all games not just FTP.

    Announce that all GWG will be lost unless they continue to buy Gold or switch to Gamepass.

  4. CRAAAAP!!! I was literally waiting for Takemura's call when they released this patch. Sooo… maybe I should just not play for a few days and hope. Apparently they also balanced and fixed some of the exploits. Many of which I have been using excessively

  5. I wish Bungie had the funds to hire away some of the VV staff. They made some of the best D2 content in Year 1 and 2. Maybe some will leave Blizzard and go on to Bungie or other studios.

  6. I’m glad they listened to the community and also realized free games shouldn’t be behind a paywall! Hopefully in the future someone will set the trend for free online play for all games.

  7. Thats great but i said before the whole purpose why they make gamepass 1$ is to sneak you into it and then delete your xbox live that you previously paid for if you cancel it. i knew then and that the point is to do what they have been trying to do for awhile which is to push everyone to digital content so that people would believe that consumer rights no longer apply. Although i think they will find if someone ever brings it to the supreme court that consumer rights does apply to digital content and it was already pretty much written into the laws. Which is why they made a partnership with sony and why they only sold almost only digital consoles this time around. Which is most likely the reason why they have never let a case get to the supreme court, and why the U.k. already adopted added to the laws they had because they already technically existed their as well.

  8. Many companies still don't value the power of people. Not enough communication on different levels & bosses thinking they can take the piss & get away with it unnoticed.
