Xbox Live will not be available for a few hours tomorrow (Tue, Feb 20) from 10am to 1pm here in the UK. But don't worry though, the plug's being pulled for a quick maintenance session and nothing more.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Its not that bad, i'll be at school while this is done. Hopefully my 2x 512mb stick of ram will come tomorrow and then i shall play CSS and DoDS on a good and steady framerate.
And only three hours, watch a movie or take a walk. Or hell, just play single player if you just cant turn off your console.
It states the downtime regarding UK timeline. Practically it will be 5 to 7 hours before that in USA, so the downtime is actually scheduled for night in the USA, and it will be either school time or worktime for the rest in most areas of Europe. No big deal anyways, as long as the service gets better.
...since I won't have my console back by then.
coz im a normal person who actually has a job until half 2 then goes gym, will be well and truly fixed by time i get in
