UFC on Xbox Live is a total failure

Dan Landis writes: "To celebrate the launch of the UFC on Xbox Live, a few thousand people were given the chance to stream UFC 141 through their Xbox 360s for free. I happened to be one of those people, and I even invited a slew of friends over to watch it with me. Too bad the whole experience was just failure after failure, ultimately leading to a unanimous decision amongst party-goers that the UFC on Xbox live is total sh?t.

I would hardly call the service a total failure, when a specific event had technical issues. Previous event worked like a charm for me with no issues what so ever.

TheXgamerLive4502d ago

I didn't have any issues what so ever and the HD broadcast was awesome and "FREE".

The only thing that sucked was that brock lesner didn't even try, but since his health issues/diagnosis he's not been the same beast that he was.

UFC on XBOX LIVE :) YEYUH!!!

Euthanasia784499d ago

Ha, Brock tried. Allister is just that good. There is MMA and there is UFC. UFC is one orginization. It's the best, but there are a ton of great fighters overseas. Overeem has proven himself time and time again. If he wins the UFC belt, He will be the Strikeforce/K1/UFC heavyweight champ. Overeem is SAGAT

Skizelli4499d ago (Edited 4499d ago )

It wasn't just a "few thousand people," it was 30,000 - all free. 5,000 of those tickets were offered an hour or two before the event, which I assume is what caused the problems. Nobody was allowed to actually purchase the event, so it's hardly worth writing an article about just to complain. Things will get fleshed out.

It's also worth noting (and I see others have noted it as well) that because of the technical difficulties, those who got a free ticket will get to watch another upcoming event for free. Something this article fails to mention.

DeathAvengers4502d ago

I heard it was cool. This is the first article I've seen bashing it.

Biggest4502d ago

Oh wow! They see official Tweets from the people responsible for UFC on Xbox Live and they still disagree. If this proof isn't enough, maybe we can get Overeem to personally explain the problems to the disagree posse.

kikizoo4501d ago

..Delusional/denial fanboyz can't accept anything right...but can spread and create lies for japanese brands in the same time, powerfull free little employees for bill :)

@DeathAvengers

It was UFC 141 that crapped out. It became a sinking ship unfortunately.

gamingdroid4502d ago (Edited 4502d ago )

I believe this one was the first publicly available show as well.

The previous ones was limited to Beta participants only that registered on time i.e. a small subsection.

Anyhow, MS are making it up by giving you a free event in the future.

radphil4502d ago

@gamingdroid

Yea. A friend of mine invited me to UFC140 and that went extremely well. This one, it just seems botched due to technical difficulties.

But yea, at least they are making it up by going with another free event.

gamingdroid4502d ago (Edited 4502d ago )

I wasn't able to get in on the UFC 141, but the free UFC 139 and 140 was both flawless experience.

Sounds like they are only having a technical issue, but apparently it has been tweeted that people signed up will get to see another free UFC event in the future.

Wish I was part of this free event....

edit: I also want to add that MS/UFC has a toll free live technical support phone line you can call if you have problems.

Parapraxis4502d ago (Edited 4502d ago )

Yeah, good to see they are giving something free for those who had issues.

@LargeKnob below, Better to get the 720p KYR version, flawless.

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29922516d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER2516d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot2515d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto2515d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19842516d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot2515d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp2515d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto2515d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv722515d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma2515d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa2515d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma2515d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
