omg this gears update was what I was hoping for. Did they say what the quit penalties are? Because I am happy with any penalty they give the ditchers.

Shame they couldn't do anything to reimburse the poor souls like me who bought UIR packs. I feel like I got bent over the barrel on those and I still didn't get a boomshot.

Ohhh I didnt see this. Are ditching penalties there for Horde as well?

Gears quitting penalty is that you are banned from matchmaking playlists for a while. First to quit gets harsher penalty etc.

I like it. Punishment fits the crime. Also if you disconnect accidentally you have 5mins to join back.

So one of the reasons was conflict on those designs? Firstly, Platinum games should've listened to MS considering they're the ones paying for it. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the designs disagreed upon was hyper-sexualized. On the other hand, the second it was clear Platinum games were being dicks MS should've just let them be. They don't have the privilege to be turning down games. I don't know why a guy like me that loves rpg's, doesn't like Halo, likes anime, doesn't like forza, likes adventure, hates games going to PC and plays a lot of 3rd party games decided to get an xbox. Sorry if I've been really negative lately after being gone for so long but this is dissapointing as all hell.

MS lacks interest in it's gaming division and it shows. I really hope someday Xbox goes back to be more like what put them there.

I haven't checked for horde yet but I hope it happens.

Maybe those insiders of gaf are legit but I think we will know by e3. I think it will all come down to Scorpio. If it's priced a dollar above 499 than I think we will know that Microsoft doesn't care anymore. Even 499 is damn high. If they price it at 399 and take a loss to compete with Sony than we know they are trying and have the support from higher ups, and that they are committed to the future of Xbox.

E3 is going to be interesting. :/

Would be nice to have Scalebound come back just with a different dev. If they did that I feel they would have said something.

Late to the party but, Honestly this news pisses me off MS Studios is already shaky as hell and this cancellation only makes them look worse in the eyes of 3rd party studios. Both Crackdown and Sea of Theives have big question marks on them about their quality as well. I'm losing faith as a fan

"Japanese". That is the main reason, I feel, people behind this game even if they tell you otherwise.
