through a Beta program.

Why are there still issues?

"Despite a few hiccups with the Zune software"

Nothing to see here people.

Saaking5274d ago

I'd rather they take all of these feature out and offer free online gaming.

darthv725274d ago

if they did you still wouldnt be satisfied. You would continue to find reason to hate.

Saaking5274d ago

No, actually if they did I'd be more than satisfied. I could use those 50 bucks to buy a new game instead of using it to access the full game.

HolyOrangeCows5274d ago

Saaking's right. SOME of us would prefer to play more games and less Twitter.

Xeoset5274d ago

But NEITHER of you are anything but PS3 fanboys, so in the end your argument is null.

HolyOrangeCows5274d ago (Edited 5274d ago )

I'm just a disappointed 360 owner.

I was glad to pay for Xbox LIVE once upon a time, when it was one of the best networks around. But now they focus more on non-gaming crap than games. I don't like the direction they have taken the Xbox and LIVE since I bought it in 2006, when its primary use was a game system.

WenisWagon5274d ago (Edited 5274d ago )

I am so glad Microsoft does these seasonal updates. Its so much better and more convenient than the firmware updates sony does every other day which add obscure features that no one bothers to use (like printer support LOL really?)

Bnet3435274d ago

You can't complain about bugs in a beta, that's why it's a ... beta.

whoelse5274d ago

I wonder how the PS3 Facebook app compares to this. The Xbox one looks quite cool if you're into FB.

I'm predicting Sony will officially announce details tomorrow on the eve of MS's update.

thedisagreefairy5274d ago

"You can't complain about bugs in a beta, that's why it's a ... beta. "

didnt everyone laugh at ps3 fanboys when they said that about Home

pangitkqb5274d ago

I mean, it will be nice to see which of my facebook friends are on Xbox live, but that is all I see of value. I already have Facebook on my PC, my iPhone 3GS, and my PS3, so what besides finding more live friends does facebook on 360 do for me? Twitter? That site is a joke.

As always, my xbox 360 remains nothing more than a game machine, and that is all I need!! Borderlands over live is a blast.

When has MS ever put out something that's buggy? All their products have worked perfectly day one with no problems whatsoever.

And if you believe that there's a hedge-fund I'd like to invest in...

Xeoset5274d ago

"Despite a few hiccups with the Zune software"

Durr durr durr.

lrn2rd. kthxbai.

ZombieAutopsy5274d ago

"All their products have worked perfectly day one with no problems whatsoever. "

Tell that to my launch 360 with its RRoD and Disc Read Errors.

Godmars2905274d ago

That was your fault. You were using the product incorrectly.

And by "incorrect" I mean you turned it on...

Bumpmapping5274d ago

LOL the Xtards pay 50$ for a buggy laggy network!

chrisulloa5274d ago

Wut? It's not even released yet and you're calling it buggy.

Syriel5274d ago

The issues seem to be confined to the Zune software. Facebook, Halo Waypoint, Last.fm and Twitter all work as advertised. It's somewhat odd too because the Zune software on the PC side is pretty solid. I wonder if they had two different teams working on the PC and 360 apps.

silverbeld5274d ago

'The Good, The Bad And The Buggy'

Lol,

Why oh why.

Cause its M$

Why o why5274d ago (Edited 5274d ago )

:)

anyhow it seems you're not allowed to want ms to make xbl free. I mean... you MUST be a sony fanboy to want less twitter and more games /s

silverbeld5274d ago

Hahahaha.

LOL

I did not meant to call you. It's just so obvious off M$ to making non quality stuffs so you will lost more money.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis10h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast9h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake2h ago

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 5h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 5h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 7h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 6h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 4h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast9h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 2h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast9h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon22h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon25m ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake3h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast1h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
