dont invest in those too much, the xbox currency will change soon and MS points will be dropped.

but these games are pretty shitty tho, either they are trying to make a summer sale to sell games that are unpopular to raise the company's status/money/credibility or microsoft has gone cheap and put bottom tier games on sale instead of hot and popular games



These games are pretty shitty? I wasn't aware they had been released already......what did you hate most about TMNT?




ok mr. technical they all just LOOK shitty, since we can't tell how they play yet but from looks of it they look pretty terrible.

I understand what you're trying to say but it absolutely foolish to judge a game by gameplay footage....the gameplay footage of battlefield 3 looks like nothing more than a COD clone where all you do is run around playing shooty guns but it really has so much more to offer. Also the gameplay for brink looked absolutely spectacular & lead a lot of gamers (including myself) to believe that it would be a great gaming experience but we all know how that ended......nobody watches a minecraft gameplay video and says "THIS GAME LOOKS FUCIN AMAZING, I MUST HAVE IT NOW" because minecraft needs to be played before you see what the game truly has to offer....am I getting thru to you? Or do you need more examples? Cause I can keep going if you have time.

You wouldnt judge a book by its cover so why judge a game by its gameplay footage



so don't judge a game based on how it look until you play it?


no. most games aren't worth the time or money going into renting or tryin. it before a purchase when they look terrible. BF 3 only looked that way because you assumed it was like cod. gameplay of the mp even before game came out looked nothing like cod.


these games just don't look good, I'm not gonna waste my time trying to see if they can prove me wrong, you get 1 first impression and if its bad enough to turn people away you 90% don't even get a second chance.


also what should you judge a game by if not gameplay footage before a release? if it doesn't even look good in footage THEY supply to make it look as good as possible then there's a very strong possibility it will be terrible.

You should judge a game based on the actual gameplay & the experience that YOU have with itnot the experience that somebody on youtube had with it.

And possibilities do not equal facts, just because there is a possibility thqt a game will be bad doesn't mean it will be. There's a possibility that any game will be bad when all you have is gameplay footage....so just because a game looks "shitty" doesn't mean that it will be & just because a game looks good doesn't mean it will be.....its like going on metacritic & writing a review on a movie you've never seen



in other words what youre saying is you think demo is what everyone needs to play before judging.. but what i say is if i dont think it looks appealing or interesting then i wouldnt even consider downloading demo and wasting my time. youtube gameplay or other method of quickly seeing the game and its gameplay is the forefront of all of us having a quick judge to see if its worth more than just a glance. if it is then i move on to demo. you catching my drift son? or should i spell it out for you?

These aren't sales, the summer of arcade is supposed to be when blockbuster arcade games are released. They're some of the biggest name/ most enjoyable arcade games MS will put out all year- that's why they're hyped.

Since none of the games even release until next month, I'd take the YouTube videos with a grain of salt.

I think I read on TA that unused converted MS points will expire after a period of time.
