So much for the certification process.

TrendyGamers4657d ago

A beta of some sort really could have helped the launch day issues.

Colts4204657d ago

They did have a beta I was in it matches sucked then 2 guess they didnt fix it

BringingTheThunder4657d ago

they must not have been expecting such a huge number of people to download it day 1

Downloaded the trail and i cant even connect to the servers

Betas on everything that has included multiplayer should be required especially if it is a new IP.

Colts4204657d ago

There was a beta for this game guess it wasn't enough

GhostHero3334657d ago

Must not of been public enough to get all the would be consumers involved. Private betas are good in the beginning but a final stress test beta is always needed.

OC_MurphysLaw4657d ago

They did have a Beta. It wasn't internal either, they open up registration for it to the internet about a month and a half ago. You registered and got a beta key for XBLA.

Lets hope they fix whatever is the problem and there is a good game to be had once fixed.

Now they do that? After all this time?

Elit3Nick4343d ago

maybe its the start of digital sales that will end up on Xb1, who knows.

DarthJay4343d ago

You mean since last month?

Tres214342d ago

ur thinking of that free game thing they're talkin about the discounted games it actually shows u which games were discounted by the month

DarthJay4342d ago

No, I am thinking about the sales they run EVERY month. This myth that nothing ever goes on sale on Xbox Live is hilarious.

fuzzyLogix4343d ago

Really? They've been doing this every month for years, in fact it's not even every month, they have new deals every week.

Difference is people on Xbox don't feel the need to shout and preach about it, unlike Sony fanboys.

No_Limit4343d ago

Where have you been, probably never use a xbox 360 or live before as there are weekly and monthly discounts for years now.

Personal Top 10: Jay Malone Style

This year was a year dominated by the rise of the Arcade. Half of the games in my top 10 were 15 dollars or less and that’s a huge testament to how big the Xbox Live Arcade has gotten in the past year. Apart from the ones on my list, other games like Fez, Journey (PS3 download but you get the message), and Trials Evolution are getting major consideration for awards on multiple other websites. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a fair share of retail releases that impressed on multiple levels. Tell that to Sleeping Dogs, Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 3, Assassins Creed 3, and Dishonored and they will prove you wrong. It wasn’t the best year, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t impress in many ways.

RipTen Review: Hybrid (XBLA)

Ben Rowland wrote: Hybrid’s lineage is perhaps one of its most interesting aspects. This unlikely project has 5th Cell, the developer of Nintendo DS-exclusive games such as Scribblenauts and Drawn to Life, making the leap into the realm of online shooters. Hybrid is a third person multiplayer-focused shooter that attempts to bring some new ideas to a genre that’s well beyond the point of saturation. While Hybrid makes a valiant attempt and succeeds in a few areas, it unfortunately isn’t the genre-bender that we had hoped for.
