I noticed dragon-born was left out of the skyrim DLC, that kinda sux.
Congrats Gearbox, now put something worth a damn in the chest to make me even want to bother getting your free keys.
I bought it this year but I've only played about half of the campaign, I have several friends that passed all together.
I will be passing next year, it's too much of the same old same old.
I own the 360 version and as long as Bethesda/M$ continues charging $20.00 for what should be priced at $10.00 or $15.00 I won't be buying any of it.
Not me, I'm voting before I pick it up. ;)
Can you see how this article says Assassin's Creed 3 SELLS 3.5 million copies in it's first week as opposed to Gearbox SHIPS 5 million copies in a little less than 2 months?
Please tell me you can see how that is much more impressive.

Once again, I could care less how many copies of a game are sitting on the shelves at Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart and so on.
THOSE GAMES ARE NOT SOLD TO THE PUBLIC. Period.
Retailers over order things all the time and in a lot of cases ship unsold product back to the original seller at a loss,re-stocking fee or throw it in a discount bin that eventually might be bought 6 months down the road for half (or more) of it's original price.
Tell...
And I'll wait for it to go on sale as well (Like i did with Dawnguard) as I'm in no hurry for M$ to set a precedent of 1,600 price point for DLC.
Again, no it doesn't
Shipped = Shipped and Sold = Sold
There is no guarantee that all 5 million copies will be sold just because they are sitting on a shelf somewhere.
any company can ship 5 bazzilion of any product and only sell 1/10th of them.
My point is, if you are going to write a story about this topic then give me a true number of SOLD units, THAT is where the story is.
I hope folks aren't taking my com...
Congrats Gearbox, well deserved, I have been playing BL2 every day since day one, the only thing that will stop me playing it ( for a short time ) will be Halo 4 and then Call Of Duty.
That said, to be clear Shipped does not = SOLD.
I hate news stories, Devs, distributors and the like skewing the facts in their favor.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
"Free DLC is great, but there's something better than free DLC. Free early DLC!"
And there is nothing worse than when a Dev rushes out their free, early DLC, breaks your $60.00 game and erases your character you have built over the 3 previous weeks.
As well they should.
Finally someone gets it.
There are soooo many movie related games with rich characters and stories already in place that are wasted chasing the almighty dollar.
When will these greedy Activision/E.A. companies get it?
Make a good game and you will sell 3 times the amount of your carbon copy character skin switched games.
As far as the movie franchise goes (In my mind ) there was only 2 Alien movies, everything after the first two is pur...
Can't speak for the other games but on the second play of Gears 2 and 3 you can skip the walking Marcus finger in the ear, just push the < on the controller and Marcus will say shut of you talk too much or other lines like that.
This has been around since Borderlands, old news.
Agreed on every point.
Yeah, I get that you are giving something back but if you are going to go through all this motion of making the "perk" then make it worth my while.
At this point I'd rather you didn't screw up my M$ points into having odd amounts.
The M$ points system is screwy enough without having balances like 853 points or 469 points.
If you are going to do it at least doing it with amounts like 5-...
Yeah I fall into the "Legend" category and I agree, if you are going to reward me then reward me, make it 5-10% as I don't want my points being left in odd amounts.
So with this new program I spend $10.00 and get 20 cents back? Wow just wow.
Agreed, has either of them even financially done well?
Maybe so but I play the same COD game year after year and I play the same Uncharted, Halo, Resident Evil and any other game that has a 2,3,4,5 after it.
Ughh, IMO Hammerlock’s quests were some of the most boring in the main game, so now we are going to get more? Ughh and double ughh.
