This is one on my main gripes with XBL.....Why in the hell cant you preview themes before you buy them? Then they have in bold white letters ...NO REFUNDS.

Can i at least see what im buying......i want this theme but ive been burned before.

Wizziokid4972d ago

it's so MS can rip you off, I mean the themes are too expensive anyway.

KratosGirI4972d ago

I recommend looking up YouTube videos of the themes before buying them. A lot of people tend to do so for PS3 themes.

BXbomber4972d ago

actually some themes u can preview u them right on psn.

midgard2294972d ago (Edited 4972d ago )

you get what you pay for.........wait no you dont.

I could get a theme like this on my ps3 for free, I could have it change multiple wallpapers by itself, change the icons, add sounds, change the internet browser cursor, all for free. and yes you can make your own themes

yet u guys pay and cant even get a preview......ack, that and they hiked the price 10 bucks....o well, i still have my old ninja blade theme on mine lol

T9X694972d ago

Ummm no you can't. Under the friends section on the XBL premium themes it completely changes the background stand up behind your friends. Just like PS3 premium themes change the background to be animated, and both systems charge the same price of $3. I've made themes for both my Xbox and PS3, they are not the same as the premium ones.

DelbertGrady4972d ago

The interface would still work like sh*t, so what's the point?

midgard2294972d ago

Oh no i didnt mean like the premium themes, but wait, yes you can, you can make it so the wallpapers change them selves every few seconds, ive done it and have plenty of themes that do that.

only thing we cant make is a dynamic them.....that would be awesome.....except for the guys with porn dynamic themes....that would be odd......

and to Delbert grady

the interface works like crap on psn or xbox? cuz i think both work good. In my opinion the xbox's is a lil confusing at first since it takes like a year to find out how to change your avatar icon but its still not that bad. and PS's is moron proof, just not retard proof. obviously ur music is under music, ur games and demos are under games, photo's under photo's and etc.

next time explain what ur complaining about with ur one bubble

It's a pretty good theme. I would recommend it. One of the better ones I have downloaded.

p_bateman4972d ago (Edited 4972d ago )

They should be free to gold subscribers.

kasasensei4972d ago

It will be free to platinum members! :p

gypsygib4972d ago

What about a free Reach theme for Gold members not one that cost almost 4 bucks (in Canada). Epic always releases a couple of free GoW themes before a new release. I'm really getting sick of MS's nickel and dimming.

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion474d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad475d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90475d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183474d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90474d ago (Edited 474d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde474d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90474d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde474d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator474d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13474d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183474d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken559d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar559d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos559d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP559d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken559d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149559d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE559d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341559d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90559d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos559d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90559d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai559d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
