That really sucks.  Ive only done online pre-order once which was from best buy and same thing happened.  Ever since then i havent done that but i hear Amazon is pretty good at maintaining dates so im surprised this time

It's my lazy ass mother fucking postman who is gonna get an earfull from me next time I see him for not turning up 3 days in a row. I might just throw it at him and claim I didn't get it delivered and get a refund!

^ Honestly, good, hopefully they can do a MUCH better job in Europe now with Xbox

Isn't that about advertisement on Microsoft devices/services and not for MS devices/services? That's how I understood it, that MS fires the guys who sold ad-spaces on Xbox Live and so on...

Not that I would be against giving the responsibilities for Xbox advertisement in others hands since nobody can do less as doing nothing in Europe (except UK) but I think that's not what it was about?

That sounds like US Postal Service around here. I've seen them hold packages for days before delivering it so it "just" makes the expected delivery date. Extremely frustrating. I always dread getting stuff shipped by USPS -_-

I bought a lot of games in UK since it was much cheaper as buying in Germany and yeah,  something which annoyed me a lot was the super slow "Royal Mail" service. Took my games sometimes ages just to leave the country. When I buy something in Germany online I get it pretty much always the next day (and games few days before release when I pre-order). Too bad that the price is or was (didn't buy retail games for a while)  so much higher here.

Evolve as the monster is too damn easy. Played 5 games as the monster and won everytime. My health never went below 4/5th, actually only 1 time they even got into my health, I won with shield left 4 times. The only time there is a threat to loose is stage 1, because if I get to 2 it's over(I max out fire breath and smash). And getting away and evolving is relatively easy. The monster moves faster, jumps far, climbs, sneaks(to avoid footprints). The only time I was ever in danger was when they domed me in stage 1(if they do it in 2 I win). All I had to do was get on top of a high ledge and every time they came up I smashed them or hit them down. After the dome was down I got away.
So in 5 games I only felt threatened 1 time. Needs some nerfing.

Load times are so bad. Once u get matched with people it takes 4 1/2 minutes to actually start the game. That's just bad.

That's what I always thought since they announced the game.  If you play against some randoms you will proably win with the monster as decent player and if you play against a team of four who play together like a team should (some friends in party chat or so), you will probably have not a big chance as monster. That's how the game will end when it releases.

I can't imagine how they could ever make the game balanced with a 4vs1. Make it a 50:50 chance to win as monster vs. a team and it will be super easy vs. some guys who aren't really a team or give random teams a chance to win against a good  monster player and good teams will win every round against monsters^^


Here is the thing though. In 4 of those matches all the hunters stayed together, do they 4 v 1nd me. And in2 matches in particular the hunters were doing there jobs. The trapper was putting traps, the medic was healing his team and tranking me, the assault used his buff. But that didn't matter. Take out 1 and they fall like dominoes. I use the downed body like bait. I start chasing another guy for a second then I turn around and smash the guy going for his downed teamie. A good team could win if I was at stage 1 and they domed me... Maybe. But at stage 2 I welcome being domed with all 4 there.

 

 Another thing that doesn't seam right is that at stage 2 I can max out 2 abilitys. I use smash and fire breath. And they do so much damage at max level. Why would I use the other abilitys when doing so would nerf those 2. Which regenerate so fast that regenerates completely by the time I finish using the other one.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

Sorry, to hear about the slow delivery of your Sunset Overdrive copy Seece : ( My copy of CoD:AW that I ordered from Microsoft Store left yesterday, and according to the tracking info it's scheduled to show up on Monday, the day it releases. I've got to hand it to Microsoft Store, free Day 1 shipping is a really good deal, especially since they also have that $15 in Xbox Rewards credits offer going on right now.

That's pretty good, I just saw it releases Monday, is that a first for US?

Anybody here played The Evil Within? I just completed it and thought it was pretty good. I don't really get how it was so harshly reviewed for its difficulty, I only died 35 times on survivor although I did just recently playthrough RE4 so that probably made it a lot easier.
