That's bullshit though, I (as the customer) shouldn't have to open it before I leave the store. It's the stores responsibility to check their goods and ensure that they're okay.

Sealed meaning like cellophane and all? That sucks. That at least makes some sense like that box somehow got missed in the assembly line or something.

Yea I opened up the package took a look at the D-Pad and it looked really different and thought to myself "hmm, Nintendo must have changed the D-pad on these new Motion+ controllers, cool" I continued to open it and still didn't notice anything super weird, then I took the grip off of it and there I saw, in large…

Last night I had one of the most ridiculous (video game related) things happen to me. I like to go to a local game store rather than something like Gamestop (gotta support the little guy y'know?)

I never say this about a game I'm excited about (because I usually want to play it ASAP) but Rayman: Origins really should not have released this month, or even this year.

I'll take it, I have the game, don't play it much anymore, might as well try it for free.

Damnit, I'm REALLY not looking forward to that now. Yea you're right the covy isn't bad if you take your time and if you have a plasma weapon on hand to take down the shields of the elites. From what I remember the human weapons are best against the flood, I'm gonna have to stock up.

"But it just bothers me that it stops working after about 5 years of ownership"

I'm on truth and reconciliation right now, on Legendary. It's very hard, don't get me wrong, but I haven't noticed it being unfairly hard. I got stuck at one part, probably died about 10 times in a row, then I realized there was a group of marines at the top of a perch, so I decided to join them. Got past that part…

I think it will definitely happen this coming generation. But it's not going to be digital dist. only. It'll be a hybrid.

You have four xbox's? Holy hannah! Why?

Maybe they're releasing it for the new console and just haven't announced it yet. Or both, it's been done before. (Twilight Princess)

Good, call. The maps are awesome, I love playing on hang em high again, looks great too.

It almost sounds like his wiimote + was defective or something. It seems like he rated it low BECAUSE the controls were so bad but every other reviewer rated it high for the exact opposite reason hmmmmmm interesting.

Based on all of the 10's that this game is getting I almost say they scored it so low to get some extra traffic on their site. I would have never checked gamespot but now I'm going to just to see what they didn't like about it and I'm sure a lot of other people are doing the same thing. Then there's the fanboy-crying…

I did the opposite, I picked it up yesterday and all I played was the multiplayer.(mostly because I played it with a friend and he's not big into campaigns.) But it was really fun, I enjoyed it. Try the Anniversary classic playlists it has the old pistol in it. Still has the reticule bloom from Reach though. I think…

The multiplayer of this game IS Reach though...

I'm pretty sure 343 didn't touch the original code for the physics and such, at least not for the campaign. I'm also pretty sure the Havok engine on the box is referring to the multiplayer portion of the game.

To get the 3 shot pistol you have to play the Anni. Classic playlist. My issue right now is that they still have the reticule bloom from reach in it. But they are turning that off in the playlists at a later date I believe.

Well said. I'm loving it too. I played the multiplayer for hours last night. I can't wait to get into the campaign tonight. Going to play through it on Legendary. I mean, I have to right? I don't think I ever beat the original on legendary so I think now is definitely the time.
