You just named the biggest problem.

Some developers (hi EA) are halfassing achievements (score a touchdown? jesus christ) so lame people are just renting games to get their gamerscore up.

Which is cheap and doens't show someone's skill.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So I wake up this morning to a new voice message from BZ.

Dude, why the hell are you spamming people? You sent everyone on your list an audio message that said, and I quote:

"Oblivion is finally confirmed to be out in stores on the 21st of March, shipping the 20th, and I expect everybody to be out in stores getting this game, because it is no doubt going to be one of the best games ever."

I'd get it, but KH2, Tetris DS, and Metroid also come out at the same time. :P

Anywho, where the hell is the Ghost Recon demo? The full game is out tomorrow. :\

Oh, and The Outfit demo BLOWS. What a shame.

Most amazing jew boots

Anyways, not taking what I said above into account, consider yourself removed from my list. Your obsession with me is a little absurd.

No, see, it's not against the "rules".

It's just lame and fanboyish. You made a commercial and sent it to people.

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

Very untrue. Ghost Recon, PGR3, and a couple other games, yeah. But most on 360 are just underwhelming and not much better than Xbox 1.

And really, if you need an HD TV for the graphics to be great (compared to last gen), they're not. Ghost Recon is proof that a game can look amazing on a normal TV.

Microsoft's little "HD generation" is a bit of an exaggeration. Nintendo's got the right idea, although HD is nice.

Except they're not worth the money and you shouldn't have to pay for a pack of tiny jpgs. It's ridiculous.

They'll be free eventually I think.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, my Ghost Recon is now unplayable thanks to that Live Update.

Not only is it impossible to finish mission 9, but it freezes when I go to multiplayer.

And this is my second copy of the game.

Nice job Microsoft. You now have the record of the most horrible console launch ever.

And by launch I mean first 5 months.

AND AS I TYPE THIS MY BROTHER JUST GOT STUCK ON A WALL IN GHOST RECON AND CAN'T GET OFF IT.

Holy shit.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But probably not.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
