how come so many tiles on my xbox dashboard thingy are blank?? like, judging from how the xbox 360 dashboard worked i'm pretty sure a lot of these tiles should have images on them or something but a lot are just grey squares with text? i pinned all my games for example but instead of showing the art for them on the tiles its just grey squares? only a few of my achievements have artwork and others are just blank squares as well and the xbox store is literally just grey squares everywhere with writing on lol. i don't think it's supposed to look like this!

I think there was some weakness in the Windows business or something that caused the fall... the entire market is hosed today but not -10% hosed. Either way, as fun as it is to trash it, Xbox has at best a .00001% sway in investors minds when it comes to the stock.

Are you telling me, all other factors being equal, that the headline of "MS abandons all games, sells xbox to ___, in order to refcous on ___ market" would not cause the stock to trend up more than .00001%?

I see a 50 cent to a dollar bump upward as the signal that sends is far bigger than the size or value of xbone.

Hey now they announced approaching 10 million shipped!

Granted without any indication of throughput in context this could mean shipping anything between 1 unit and 10 million units.

1,000,010 shipped. The space was intended as a comma since they felt that 10 of those consoles were particularly well shipped so they deserved to be singled out.

I was sort of the same way, and felt like the game was an odd mix of the two with a well thought out "You're the leader of an army!" thing going on that was new. I would say be wary if you really hated DA2 that much.

If the reason you loved one was meticulously planning combat and playing it like Baldurs Gate just hard pass. Otherwise I think it was the most enjoyable entry in the series even if there is some small really dumb bugs/decisions and dumb legacy things they haven't fixed over 3 games.

EA and bioware cut interesting/distinctive elements out of their games with each sequel to up the focus on bland 3rd person action as the audience gets wider for the ip.

Yeah, I got like 120 hours of playtime out of it. I think Barudak hits the nail on the head with his recommendation. The people that don't like it generally still think the combat is too changed from DA1. DA3 is my favorite.

He then went on to mistake touch tone phone for touchscreen which is like the same mistake in reverse?

I don't find that very plausible. I mean, for one, to stave off the buyers remorse you would have to spend more time tilting at windmills on internet forums than actually playing either console.
