Loving this game, and free DLC to boot!
Xbox 360 controller is my favorite, the newer one with the flip out D-pad. Least favorite was the N64's controller.... so awkward.
Nice!
Jeez, 3 hours for some people is considered "major" now? turn the page people, the more recent rumors around the next Xbox suggest it wont even be DRM, though I wouldn't doubt if we end up with some DRM games on all consoles.
Haven't we always gauged the winner by simple sales numbers? I mean I think the PS3 was a great console, but the Wii obviously won the sales war.
If we were going by the things in the article, the original Xbox would be considered the winner, which would just be silly.
There isn't a curse, most of the time it was companies who won generations in a row and got cocky or let pride get in the way, hopefully Microsoft has a compelling piece of hardware that appeals to a lot of different gamer's.
Cant wait to get some real info on the next Xbox.
Assassins Creed 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, plus lots of Assassins Creed DLC and DRM on all of their games?
Well that is rumor, I mean they could probably sell a 4 gig Xbox 360 for under $150 now and make profit, there was also rumors of a $99 Xbox Mini, I would think if they want to compete with Apple TV and the like, a $99 set top box is a smart price.
As for the price, at least they are offerings backwards compatibility, even if at a one time price, Nintendo offers it completely free, we don't even know about Sony, they might want to charge people for games they already bou...
I think now that more positive rumors are taking the stage, the uglier ones are getting pushed to the back, since we've had directly contradictory rumors, people aren't really sure what to believe. We've heard a bit of everything, and I think people in general are just super hyped to get the official word from Microsoft about their new console.
Anyone who says they aren't getting a new Xbox based on rumors, probably wasn't going to go with the next Xbox t...
I was online all day, when I started seeing info on people not being able to log in, I just stayed online the rest of the day, watched Netflix and Youtube on Xbox Live, and got some double XP on BO2.
It was a sign in problem, but if you were already signed in, you weren't affected.
What I learned from this is that people here actually wish, and yearn for Xbox Live to suffer the same fate as PlayStation Network in 2011, which is get hacked, leak personal ...
There wouldn't be a difference between a subscription based console that was different than the non subscription based one, just like now. You get the same exact Xbox 360 for the subsidized deal.
The Xbox Mini is likely the always online model, considering it doesn't have a disc drive, it makes the most sense, it's like a Roku box, which obviously needs to be online to work.
Microsoft wont block people from playing the 720 offline on any model, t...
I think the biggest reason they will shun DRM is because the competition is not employing it either. I think this whole rumor started because of a mix up and someone got hold of the wrong spec sheet that said "Xbox" on it, we've heard rumors of an Xbox without an optical drive since early last year, people freaked out at that time because they thought the next Xbox would drop support of physical discs,
I think the next Xbox will allow used games and not require...
Well we heard rumors that Assassins Creed 4 and Watch Dogs would be DRM, but until there is confirmation I think I'll hold my tongue.
Good to see so many positive rumors around the Xbox 720 lately, between this one, the $300 price point, the ability to play 360 games via the Xbox Mini, no lock on used games or DRM, powerful machine, this is why new generations are so fun.
Cant wait until we hear some actual facts though.
Looking forward to getting my hands on some of these next gen games and consoles of course.
That is a nice price point, I could see them doing well at that price.
I love the game, needs more weapon variety, sort of like Dead Rising let you use anything as a weapon, and a better story.
It never went completely down and Microsoft released a statement saying it was maintenance.
Per Game Informer and Xbox:
[Updated] Xbox Live Back In Business, Outage Due To Routine Maintenance

I was never kicked off line, but I know some who couldn't sign in.
The guy hasn't really ever made exclusives anyway, Metal Gear games have been on Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Gamecube, Snakes been a character in Smash Bro's and the series got it's start on the MX2, even had some NES games.
I don't think either game was put out with the expectations of the previous games. Gears 3 had a 3+ year buildup with a ton of advertising and demonstrations, Judgment never really had that. The campaign was awesome, but they really changed the multiplayer a lot, and it is fun, but they keep messing with the weapons and you're never sure which weapon is OP on what day?
It played a bit too much like a Unreal Tournament game, God Of War Ascension was also fun, the multi...
