I went with 70k for the poll also. I'm counting on the fact that MS gets at least one or two Japanese games for launch.

One of my friends got the update and now he can't play with anyone or go into parties with anyone that doesn't have the update. Kind of stupid.

Yeah I know

I just checked the Xbox Live Store and Ryse just passed Xbox Fitness for Top Selling games. Its right under Killer Instinct now.

it is not stupid it happens my friend got an update for cod and i didn't got we were not able to play i was in xbox 360 beta their were no problems like this

Big Marcus Fenix fan so i want them to continue his story, and honestly id like them to continue it after Gears 3.  What i dont want is them to do it on the Pendulum Wars.  Locust MUST be in the game.

Gears 3 was prob the best overall Gears but Gears 1 had the thrills.  Id like them to go back to the roots and make it ominous, mysterious, and scary.  

Multiplayer needs to fix the bullet sponge effect.  Gnasher is prob the most popular weapon so it needs to be more consistent.  That has been prob the most asked for thing since gears 1.  Nerf the Retro-lancer, or remove it completely as well. 

Whatever happens, make it more like Gears 1 and less like Gears Judgement.

I also wouldnt mind them playing around with Gears to make it fresh like 343i did, but as i said i do want them to continue Marcus's story.  Either way im just glad it is continueing and i could bitch for days about what i do and dont want.  Instead of doing that ill just wait for a little bit of info to see where theyre going with it.

Killer Instinct better stay on top >.<  I want it to do 3m+ by the end of the gen xD

Well since this update is suppose to fix the party chat it makes perfect sense that it wouldn't work with people without it... On the other hand if I got things right I'll be able to use my TB headset with that update...

lol its a free download, of course it will stay on top. Same as Xbox Fitness. The surprising thing here is that Ryse has passed a free download on the top sellers list.

you are pretty much right gears 3 was overall best but story in gears 1 was something unique,thrill,suspense,horror. but I have a question how will they continue marcus story. At the end of gears story wraps up very nicely. Queen of locust is dead. Marcus dad is gone dom is gone. So what next take the game ahead of 10-15years locust make a comeback with new species? can u elaborate on marcus part how will they continue marcus story.
