Okay, maybe technical mess is an exaggeration, but the frame-rate was ass for me through most of it and it had this weird flickering going on sometimes, which was really bloody distracting and annoying.

I'm glad NERO is short.

Same for me. I'd take a chance on all of these indie titles at $10, but at $15 or $20 I haven't bought a single one. Doesn't help that there have been zero sales on any of them thus far either.
Edit: I did buy Slice Zombies because it was $8 or so with Gold discount.

This. Looks. Awesome.
Was suddenly transported back to a time when I loved Streets of Rage and Final Fight.
Bought. Day one.

Not actually that important
Damn, I'd loved a code.
I hope we'll be able to set-up games with adult-GAF mooba-noobs, I might finally be able to hook up the headset for voice chatting and playing with a few gaffers without being worried about my shittyness aiming with dual analog!
They recently emailed me 2 codes. I used one but I still have the other. If you're still looking for one check your PMs.Damn, I'd loved a code.

Thanks man!
Guys, I'm in! yay!
Now to look for some newbies like myself (never really touched a moba in my life) from Adult-GAF.
If any of you guys want to learn or even play (if it doesn't bother you that you're good and I'm not) Smite together and are brave enough to put up with my Italian accent then hit me up, my gt is dashkap

99% of the time I game late at night, meaning US times fit right in with me.

Any idea if this is intentional?

Finally yesterday i have a chance to play lifeless planet and i enjoyed the game a lot.I only played 6 hours and when i go out to the dashboard the achievement for playing 10 hours pop.Good for me.
Cool game but do you know the price?
Why does xbox.com ask me to add a credit card. I already have a CC attached to my gamer tag. And I have $40 of xbl credit too. Is the web site broken like this for anyone else?

If you've tried both, you'll admit that Fruit Ninja 2 is much better though. If SZ is worth $8, I have no issue considering FN2 is worth twice the price.
$8-$10 is ok for impulse buy and make average games worth the purchase, but I don't think it should be a unique standard for smaller games.

I'm logged in and it says $30.

It was mispriced earlier, it's been corrected now (24£ in the UK versus 4£ earlier).
It's working now for people that bought it. It'll show episode 1 in the 'Ready to install' list and you can install the other two released episodes by selecting to Manage game.

How is Boom Ball?
Does it have a 2 player mode?

It's ok. Slower and less frantic than the Ricochet mode in Kinect Adventures, but it's decently done, with many levels to unlock which give a sense of progression.
I don't think there's a 2 player mode.

Well, I started NERO yesterday and ended up falling asleep while playing it. I was tired going in, though, due to a restless night at a friend's.
I finished the caves and found most of the collectibles. It was really bland, though.
I kept dozing off for a second, hitting the joystick, waking up and walking the wrong way. It was annoying, haha.
Two other things:
1) Spy Chameleon looks neat, but I assume it'll get frustratingly difficult and annoy me with hard puzzles.
2) Raging Justice looks neat and is very nostalgic for me. The main characters look like they move too slowly, though.

Life os Strange ep3 should ve out this Week too.
Dammed. I missed it due to Be busy this morning.
yup, makes a HORRIBLE first impression. Played for half an hour, never asked for a refund (and I bought a shit ton of games) but will do for this. I like puzzle games, but everything about this screams low quality. The movement feels super slow and clunky, even if you are running, the graphics are really not good and the puzzles so far are only push this button, and use blue light to push this button. I'm sure this will probably change, but it seems more like an unfinished quake 3 mod by some not so skilled hobby devs. Maybe if more reviews come in that praise the game I'll try again if its discounted, but right now I'm turned off unfortunately
Yeah I just started it and it's making me sick. It's running at like 20fps. How do you ask for a refund?
'Oh, just a heads up and to set an expectation, Since you successfully downloaded the game without any issue, all purchased made online are final. Since you successfully downloaded the game without any issue."

If you're still really put off by the game, I'll bet that if you opened a new chat with a different rep, you might find a different answer. Seems to be how customer service operates.
I think the Gold discount most games are getting at release is awesome. It seems to be happening more and more too!

I hope ESO gets it. At $72 (like on PSN with PS+), I'll splurge on the Imperial Edition.

It was live on the New Zealand store earlier today so I imagine it'll be up relatively soon in other regions.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
fuck you are right. Well 3$, not a big deal.
yeah maybe. the person wanted me to delete and re-download 8GB of game while I was in the chat. No thanks, I don't want the game - that's the point.
I wanted to play it. But it can't, due to the awful FPS. It makes me sick.

I finished NERO today. Overall, it was a 2.5-3 hour long game with exploration/some issues with puzzles. I'm not great at puzzles in games, nor do I enjoy them, especially if they're obtuse.
The game itself is hard to rate. It's unlike practically anything else out there, for better and for worse.
I like how they tackled important issues, such as
, especially since I deal with
The art style was also kind of cool with the neon accents, but the game's engine was a mess. It ran like crap, was even worse when the light orb was out and also almost froze on me once, or so it seemed. It's very poorly optimized, and also doesn't really look that good overall; it's just got the neon going for it.
A lot of it was too dark. Most of the levels were uninteresting. The puzzles were mostly bland. And there was next to nothing to do but walk at a snail's pace.
As a game, it failed, but it told an interesting tale.
I'd maybe give it 1.5 or 2/5.

Well Farming Sim 2015 is up... I bought it.. 2.8 gigs or so to download.. runs fairly well, certainly has pop in and not equal to max settings on PC which I think is sorta shitty as X1 can handle better than the visuals I am seeing BUT.. its Farm Sim on my X1 so you know what you are getting if you have played it before.
