[360] Official XBLA thread. Complain about the new price points but buy the garbage anyway!

Yeah, I love the game when it's local play with some friends, but online is a joke. I've only made it to an actual stage once, and that crashed as soon as the three of us encountered enemies (we lost player 4 during the character select).

In my quest for a refund, I've begun to understand why Microsoft's legendary customer service inspires so much rage in people.

The first guy I talked to hung up on me almost as soon as I told him the last four digits of the credit card I used to buy the game, which would scare the shit out of me if I thought he could do anything with it.

EDIT: Finally got an online match to work. I was level 1 with another guy while the other two were level 19. Of course, the other level 1 guy lost his connection before we started, so I was severely underleveled. Still, it was a blast and it gave me a good chance to try out the Periwinkle Knight.

Okay, so basically, because the Behemoth announced today that they're trying to make a patch to resolve the game's issues, Microsoft's customer service is refusing to escalate my case and reimburse my MS points. They told me to wait for a patch.

So they're forcing me to pay in advance for a game's full features. Thanks much, Microsoft.

How ya doing, buddy?

I told them that you had gotten reimbursed (after they tried to tell me they don't do refunds on anything but movies), but he was saying that if a problem has been acknowledged and is believed to be correctable, they won't do reimbursements.

Oddly, he told me to call back in week if the problem persists, as if he was indicating that the patch would be out then. So, I'm going to wait until the middle of next week to see what happens-- if the Behemoth busts out a miracle and releases a patch by then, fine, I'll just chock this up as bad experience and won't pursue the issue further. But if it's not up, I'm going to be seeking those Omagnus tips on making the customer service team squeal.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Another question is whether or not you'd be able trust these people with your credit card information.

Anyway. Bought Precipice Episode 1 as part of the sale. Glad I didn't pay the full price, as it's preeetty much a timewaster and little else. I hear Episode 2 is better, but eh. Also purchased Vs. mode for Resident Evil 5, along with all of the Oblivion add-ons that were on sale. Been meaning to do that.

There's also the obligatory screen-clearing magic spells and even guitar solo mini games. You'll have to see it for yourself. Definitely not a bad purchase for 800 points.

Seemed to like it.

I was speaking idiomatically.
