"When people talk about features they'd like to see added to an Xbox Live Gold subscription, dedicated servers, expanded buddy lists or separate bandwidth pipes for popular downloads are first to mind. Instead of adding features to the Gold experience, however, they're 'enhancing' Gold subscriptions by continuing a practice started last summer of stripping Silver members of features and making them Gold-only.
The latest? Playable demos are no longer available right away for Silver members. Instead, they'll have to wait a full week before they're allowed access. Starting with the Fall update, Silver users will start seeing a red circle with a slash through content that's currently inaccessible."
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
I know I shouldn't really care about this, but thats kinda mean. Way to cut your fans wrist for them microsoft.(j/k)
Talk about monopoly. They basically just want to push you into getting the gold subscription. Then it didn't really make that much sense to create this silver membership to begin with eh MSFT?
I know that the silver folks should upgrade to gold since it really isn't that much to begin with, but how can this not "annoy" silver members if this wasn't like this since the beginning?
Comeon MSFT be reasonable.
Oh well, why should I bother, my friend is the one that should care since he is the one that has a 360 so I play all his games and even online for free. lol
Just a way to make goldmembers feel better about getting robbed
That is pretty lame, I refuse to pay again for Xbox live (I'll let my membership expire when that time comes.) and this just made me want it even less.
this is freaken bull crap..i just got a 360..lol...a early gift from my parents..i mind as well sell it now and spend more money on ps3 games..
