XBL Lightsabers Are For Douchebags

OXM writes: "You want to spot a douchebag on Xbox Live? It's easy. Check their avatar and see if they're wearing shutter shades or not.

Thanks to the dashboard update, there's now an even more effective way of spotting them. Anyone sporting the lightsaber avatar prop from Xbox Live Marketplace, available for the cheap (ahem) price of 400 Microsoft Points. This is even worse than the shutter shades thing because you're not only being a douchebag, you're paying money to be a douchebag."

WTF?! The light sabers are awesome. The only thing worth getting for your avatar. The guy who wrote this must be jealous that one of his friends bought it before him or something to that nature.

My friend picked up one of these XBL lightsabers. I wouldn't necessarily call him a douchebag, he's just a big Star Wars nerd.

I am, however, very happy that in the last couple years, the term "douchebag" has found its way back into popular lexicon. Douchebag, how I've missed you.

You want to spot a douchebag on the internet?
Look for the guy that writes articles about people cause they spent $5 for their system that they have probably already spent $500+ on.

I haven't bought any Avatar extras, but I really don't care if others do. AND light sabers are f*cking cool in any way/shape/form.

B/C I have both the Lightsaber and the Jedi clothes.

I love Star Wars and the KOTOR series and I think any fan of them will also appreciate it.

p.s. I's rather have this then spend my points on his aforementioned arcade titles, except for the new title Shadow Complex. That game is bad ass:)

I have a rubber chicken, I guess that would make king douche.

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast3d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM3d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit3d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife2d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
