I actually dislike them even more because of that change. Fucking easy ass short games that cost peanuts devaluing GS......total joke

I can see why MS did it though. Alot of Gamerscore whores (myself included) completely skipped indie/Arcade games last gen because the amount of time and money neccesary to play indies just wasn't worth it, who wants to spend $15-$20 and sometimes 10+ hours to get 200-400 GS? By upping the amount for indies to 1000 GS it was likely much easier to convince indie devs to join the ID@Xbox program, because it opened up indie games to the fairly large gamerscore whore demographic.

They range more from like $5-20, and most of them are in fact not 10 hours long. Could some be worth 1k? Sure. But that argument is a load of nonsense anyway. If those games are worth 1k GS, then by that logic wtf is a hundred+ hour RPG worth? What about a MP achievement heavy game that requires countless hours to complete?

Of course indie devs love it, and it profits their sales, but I'm just never gonna agree or be in favor of that change.

Indie games and AAA games simply aren't equal, so they shouldn't be treated as such. For every indie game you could make a case does deserve it, there's about 100 more that the vast majority of people wouldn't bother to touch with a 10 foot stick if it didn't have that easy GS.

Fred!!!! xD

Living up to his role as the CQB expert of Blue Team I see. His Centurion Armor is really good as well.

Not particularly, that's a DMR without the scope.



Giving every game 1000GS just killed the worth of achievements in my opinion. In the past you had games where you invested hours over hours just to get that achievement, now many will be simply like "fuck that, I buy that $5 Dollar game and get 5x as many GS in the same time I would need for that single achievement in the $60 game.

I always cared more about single achievements and not the GS so that I would have invested  many hours even for 5GS if that achievement would have been a good one and I will always think like that but I guess many just don't really try anymore for some good ones if they can get other ones much faster and cheaper.

Yep, GS is pretty useless to me now.



Dat sig Noble.....I approve!

Edit: Totally jacking it



Are these the ingame models? Sounds like Halo 5 will look great at 60fps...



Aren't you beeing too literal about it?

So Neverwinter has passed MCC as my most played game this gen 146hrs > 144hrs and also pretty quickly, started MCC on launch, started Neverwinter 17 days ago.

So playing my second character, a level 39 Hunter Ranger named Nimblefingers, I've noticed that people playing Devine Clerics (healers) either A) play they're class horribly wrong - I cringe everytime I see an Anointed Champion when Devine Oracle is by far the better healing paragon path - or B) just don't heal, my first character was a Healer so it really pisses me off. When the tank has more health points healed at the end.... Yeah you really can't play healer.

Also started getting into PVP on this character, its pretty great. I've not had any bad games, all positive K/D. 10K 2D, 15K 1D etc :)

Honestly when I started playing this game I was like eeh, I just cant be fucked. I got that first achievement and thought god damn now I have a 5gs achievement, guess ill play and round it up to a hundred total Gs.... And well now I cant put it down, it's such a great game!

8/10, a few issues that drive me insane stop it from being a 10/10

Damm, you're really enjoying that game huh. And yeah I remember when you posted about that 5gs xD



Ltd predictions by the time 9th Gen comes out
