That's fucking bullshit. A patch??!? You've got to be kidding me. This is even worse than their Uno picture pack update.
XBLA could be so freakin' great but it seems whoever is in charge over there is asleep at the wheel. What a joke.

Unbelievable.
How long before VC catches up and passes? One month? At the most 2? I thought for sure they were delaying things so that they would release things 2 at a time to compete with the VC and PS1 stuff, but no.
Every week I feel like Charlie Brown and XBLA is Lucy holding the football, and every Wednesday I end up on my back looking up at the sky.

I think that Kameo Uno pack announcement nullified me as I'm not even bothered by how ridiculously weak this is.

What kills me is that MS keeps saying how succesful XBLA is and how developers are flocking to create content for it but it's been over a year now and we're still not seeing jack. Sure there's been a few bright points like Doom but it's been almost over shadowed by all the crap like Feeding Frenzy and Scramble.
MS needs to shit or get off the pot. This could be an incredible delivery system but they're seemingly content on just fucking it up.

Where the hell are these XBLA cock smokers around here? I want to hear what they have to say.

MS releases shit like frogger, naysayers are booed out of threads. MS releases a badly needed patch to a FREE GAME, people bitch like they just got pissed on.
You guys are weird.

Let's be clear.... I don't want XBLA to be VC. Don't compare the quantity of games. Nintendo can pump out ROMS like nobody's business. I don't want XBLA to be a huge port fest. I have no interest in playing SM64... again... now if it had updated graphics, some new game modes, and an achievement system, then maybe. The reason XBLA works is because they have a blend of titles, with original games, touched up classics and achievements.
That being said, they have still mismanaged the hell out of XBLA. I KNOW they are sitting on finished games... the certification process is a terrible mess IMO.

I paid for Texas Hold 'Em (I missed the initial free offer by a full 5 hours and everyone around me was in poker frenzy due to them getting it free so I was pressured) and I pay for the Gold service partially because I want to keep XBL going and doing well, since I don't agree that simply playing online warrants a monthly cost. I get to bitch.BobJustBob said:
I thought I knew what this meant, but apparently I have no idea. What is MS' "certification process" and why does it take weeks?jedimike said:
I think it's not just the certification process that's at fault for slow delivery, but one thing's for sure... putting this press release out was stupid. Patching is fine, but don't make it out to be THE BIG THING for XBLA this week. I'd rather have nothing than be shat on like this (hell, Japan doesn't even have Texas Hold'Em yet).
Why do people feel the need to piss on classic games when bitching about XBLA?
You can bitch about shit like Feedint Frenzy all day long. THAT is a shit game.
Scramble is fair game too, that shit allways sucked.
Dont bitch about Dig Dug, Frogger, etc as proof that XBLA sucks. Its fine if you dont care for old games, but those are classic pure gameplay. You can say "I want some newer games" without trying to throw great games under the bus.
Also, continue to bitch abour card decks and patches as the Wed. That shit is weak sauce.

I agree, too. I like the mixture of Live Arcade games. I like the combination of retro arcade games AND new IP's. I think they compliment each other well.
Live Arcade has SO much potential but so far, I think that most people would agree that it's not living up to this potential right now. It really is a gold mine, but so far, not a lot of gold has been mined.

Now this is just nostalgia-fueled crazy talk. Feeding Frenzy is a far far better game than Frogger. Maybe not Dig Dug, but it's close.

BAD NEWS guys:
http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2006/11/28/arcade-heads-up.aspx
Not only does today's Texas Hold'em patch break the game so that it is impossible to play multiplayer games (100% confirmed), it apparently is deleting saves for other Live Arcade games (still unconfirmed, all mine work fine).

I would care if I was able to get the game free, I missed out on the 2(?) days chance because of other things and never got the game

I guess the only way it could get worse then not getting a game this week is by taking away an existing game.

In theory, this patch should have made the game actually fun, or at least playable. But no, its fubar.
hyp said:
According to Jim Cordeira, fl0w releases Monday, then Go! Sudoku next Monday and Lemmings 2 the Monday after that. But I have no idea where he got the information from. The Sony site just lists December for all three releases. At any rate, I doubt Sony will be able to maintain 1 release a week for very long since they only have about 3-4 announced titles beyond the December releases (Gripshift DLX, Calling All Cars, Go! Swizzleblocks and Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy, I forget which).
