Last year when Xbox Live experienced outages for nearly two weeks during the holidays, Microsoft handed out a free arcade game. Since many gamers did not get a chance to play over the weekend, they should as least be entitled to some sort of compensation.
Give us your opinions - should Microsoft compensate for the recent Xbox Live connection issues?
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.
I love my xbox 360 but this is just absurd... Also, in the face of all the trash talking Gametrailers just did about PSN ahhahahahaha... man I wish more people understood what Sony gave you for nothing.
"Ive not had any issues cause ive been playing for 62 hours straight and nobody on my maxed out friends list has either. If a vocal minority are experiencing troubles it has to be something that 'they' have done like downloading torrents or rapidshare whilst trying to 'jump in'. If your cellphone company looses service for a few hours you wouldn't get anything back nor would you expect it yadda yadda yadda..."
in all honesty though you should be compensated if you've been really effected (not just a couple cut offs). If you haven't then you shouldn't. simple
So far i haven't had a problem.
i still have yet to have any problems, been playing gears 2 throughout the entire weekend and didn't have any issues other than a couple laggy games with some aussies
they aren't going to compensate anyone when the problem is only affecting a fraction of the users for an extremely limited amount of time
this article is just rubbish
unless you can actually prove that you couldn't get online for several days and it isn't your fault then they aren't going to do anything
I have several friends coming tonight and we are planing to play really late but ops, Online is not working. I called MS and they refunded $5.00 which is about month subscription.
will that make me happy gamer ? Of course, not.
Same applies to PSN too.
I want to invest on dependable service. Refund is not option.
Last week, I almost traded my R2 copy 'coz online sucked. Now its back to normal but I sent ugly message to Insomniac.
