Are you getting an error code? I have never heard of an error message that says to download a game again because it isn’t working. Me not having heard of one doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, it is just new to me so I wouldn’t be of much help. However if you are getting an error code there is a page on the Xbox website where you can enter it and it will direct you to support pages and explain the potential problem in detail.

Hmm- well if there isn’t any yellow notifications other than the game itself- maybe it could be the hard drive corrupt. Usually it’s the caches files stopping them but guess could be other reasons.

Those games are excellent but, I don’t know… we could have more variety. Feels that once a month we see a Rockstar sale.

For the amount of times they were on “Deals with Gold”, most of people who wanted them have already bought. Or, if they REALLY wanted, I guess they’ve got a physical copy as cheap as they are now with the sale price

Just wondering…

I’ve played it for a LONG time and am getting near to getting all the achievements. It’s a REALLY good game.

The gameplay is fun and challenging. The beginning levels are pretty easy, but the levels get hard in the later worlds. Nothing that I’ve played has felt too challenging though. Basically you can switch between red giana and yellow giana. Yellow giana can twirl and kinda float through the air while red giana can do a really fast dash. If you get a kill on an enemy your dash/twirl will reset, but if you don’t you can’t use it again until you hit the ground. It creates some fun and challenging gameplay. If you enjoy the game you can play through the whole thing and while the levels get challenging, you get checkpoints fairly often and anyone can get through them, even if you have a lot of deaths.

If you REALLY enjoy the game though there are many options to ramp up the difficulty. There’s a time attack mode where you have to beat the level in under a certain time and a score attack mode where you have to get points by collecting the gems and killing enemies. Those two are fairly easy compared to the other modes, but they can still offer a nice challenge if you don’t want to go for everything. There’s also an achievement for beating the game in hardcore mode. In hardcore you restart from the beginning of a level if you die. It’s still doable, but some levels are tough to do perfectly.

There’s also an uber hardcore mode where you have to do the WHOLE game with one life, although there’s thankfully no achievement for that.

There’s also achievements for collecting all gems and getting 5 stars on each level. This is a bit of a pain as there are a lot of areas that are hidden fairly well and you may never find without a guide. I’ve been doing the game completely on my own for the most part, but there have been a couple times where I’ve watched a guide and seen where the last hidden area is for a level and just though “SERIOUSLY? WHO IS EVER GOING TO FIND THAT?” They’re mostly reasonable, but a couple of them are just silly. It’s a minor complaint that some gems are hidden in places that are that difficult to find, but it still is a complaint. One of these areas I found by myself just by dumb luck, and I’m completely convinced that anyone who found the other couple areas also found it by dumb luck.

The art style is very nice. The whole style changes when you switch from red to yellow Giana. It’s a nice atmosphere and it just looks fun. It’s kind of like borderlands (not the actual style, the fun part). Borderlands isn’t all fancy or anything, it just gives the impression that they’re not trying to be incredibly serious about the game and they’re just trying to have fun.

It is a pain to get all achievements. Like I said, you need a hardcore run, a time trial run, a score attack run, a 5 star run, and collect all the gems on a level. Fortunately the 5 stars and all gems can be obtained on one of the other modes. However, there have been times where I’ve done my time trial run with 0 deaths or done my hardcore run incredibly fast, but you still have to do the other mode even if you actually accomplished that objective.

There’s a lot of variety in the level design and boss design. I’ve never really felt like I’m playing the same level again. There are 33 levels that will take a while to complete even if you aren’t going for all the extra challenges. Definitely worth $7.50.

If anyone wants to see some gameplay I’d be happy to stream the game for about an hour in the early evening. I have a Destiny raiding session at 8 PM mountain time, but I could be on earlier.

There are some decent aspect to the GTA but I just don’t understand the hype at all. Sorry to the people who actually like these games if I insulted you.
I feel LA Noir was more of a tech demo for facial animation whatnot, and I never liked Max Payne though I keep wanting to give it another shot. I loved Red Dead because, well, it was great, even though the western setting turned me off initially. Midnight club was one of my first racing games (woohoo dub edition remix!) and so I love those always.

Common sense and knowledge about how things work in the real world.

LikeLike

Burden, jump off the high horse and enlighten us, or step aside and let the grown ups talk.

Rockstar puts a game on Xbox Live for $50. Microsoft wants their cut of the pie, so they require $10 for every unit sold. So, does Microsoft cut their $10 to drive sales or does Rockstar? Or would they both take a cut?
And what if EA wanted to have a Publisher sale at the same time? Who would take precedent?
And what about ‘Ultimate Game Sales’? Does MS send out a blanket email to all publishers asking to contribute but take a loss on their product?

LikeLike

When you get a clue how things work in the real world, let us know. You’ve stated nothing here that is relevant or remotely makes sense.

Both Microsoft and the publishers will get together to decide and schedule their sales, but it is the publisher who has the final say on what they sell THEIR games at as Microsoft does not own them or have control over them. This is nothing like the physical market where the retailer pays for the product, but if they want to move excess units can have a sale since they already paid for the product.

LikeLike

Aw yes, more insults and then a completely contradictory statement. You are quite delusional.

You have ZERO evidence to prove that publishers decide the price. Like most of your comments on here, you just guess. I like to back up my comments with facts.

Sony, in 2014, stated that they work with publishers to determine the price. And both publisher and platform get a cut. So, my question was: who takes a hit on their cut for a sale? Is it the publisher, platform or both? If it’s the platform (like Microsoft), then maybe they’ll forgo their cut to drop the price – which would mean they are dictating the sale – and not the publisher.

I know these are complicated concepts for you. Us adults who actually work for a living usually dig a bit deeper and don’t just troll around.

LikeLike

You are dense as you just basically backed up my statement there with your SONY example. Both the platform holder and the publishers will work to set prices, both standard and sale prices. But the publisher has the final say in the final price AS IT IS THEIR PROPERTY – not Microsoft’s. Do you honestly think Microsoft lowers Rockstar prices for sales of their own accord and TakeTwo/Rockstar would stand for it? Absolutely not, they agree to the sales and are more lenient than other publishers like Activision (which rarely has any sales with the exception of Ghosts last year due to its lower sales figures). Another fine example of the publisher deciding the sale was the recent Lords of the Fallen sale where it was up briefly before being pulled, where the PUBLISHER said this games was NOT to have been on sale.

Your comment about “who takes a hit” is preposterous and makes no difference. The store (Microsoft) does not get a set amount, they get a percentage of the total. When the item goes on sale, they have the same percentage but a lower total per title – and make up for it in volume.

Now kindly quit being hypocritical and launching insults yourself, especially since you have no idea what you are talking about or how retail business works. I’ve explained it the best I can, but you can go ahead and live in a state of delusion if you like.

Unfortunately, what you say sounds very likely. Once we go full digital, we give up so much control as consumers since our options are reduced to one option.
