"Having been without my Xbox, and that means without my GTA IV fix, for more than 3 weeks now I was looking forward to its return with a nervous anticipation.
Indeed, my trepidation was perhaps understandable. Would I get a refurbished Xbox 360 ELite or would I be sent a basic box by mistake? After all, Microsoft had screwed things up right royally before and my coincidence levels were far from high."
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
Faker than a straight Dumbledore!!!
:S wtf the point of the rrod pik if its not a fix for that?
Bit of a misleading title. I thought they'd cured RRoD.
So the big story is, it broke, took a month to get it back, (man, a month without games, f*k that) and he's happy simply because it works? Shouldn't that be expected at least, not treated with gleeful suprise?
Dont you realise M$ has set your expetations so low, you're probably happy if the thing doesn't just set fire to your house when you turn your back.
It rememinds me of a Chris Rock skit.
"I aint never been to jail" Your not suppose to go to jail you dumb MF. Thats nothing to be proud of.
"I take care of my kids" You're supposed to take care of them you low ex-pect-tation having MF.
God, set your sights a bit higher than "Gee I hope the unit I get back, which is actually someone else broken unit, has been fixed alright. That would be great." How about wishing for something that didn't keep breaking in the first place.
No I didn't mean to rant, honestly, because this issue has been gone over time and time again, but it just seems you guys have been fed crap so long you dont even care anymore. The only thing that would ruffle your feathers at this point would be if there was nothing to eat.
PS
One guy gets XBox back and it works. If thats actually news, then M$ is in worse shape than I thought.
MS does screw up once in a while with customer service but when they fix it they "always" reward the screw up. I had an Xbox Live account that got hit by a phishing site and since the account was connected to a credit card it was frozen. At first I was angry because I had to start a new account with a gamer score set to zero. Then to my suprise they gave me 3yrs of Live and to make for the $500 + content I purchased over the past three years, they gave me nearly $1000 in MS points 1600 at a time. I was able to get every Arcade that was worth a crap and DLC for all my games and games I don't even have yet. This is all 100% fact and the people on here that know me can say I'm a fanboy or an asshole, but none will say I'm a liar. So when I see articles about bad MS customer service, I think BS everytime.
