    100% this game is not even close to the ideal, and I wish they didn’t have any mtx. Ross Scott is running the stop killing games campaign and it’s getting surprisingly popular, which yeah does raise the question why so many of the angry gamers aren’t mad about the fundamental issue of always online software.

    Also yeessssss please, another lost planet. I would’ve been playing LP2 with my partner like right now if the GFWL and connection issues weren’t such a pain in the ass to get around. I will admit HD2 does feel a lot like a less jank lost planet but it isn’t quite the same.

      Uncritical support to Ross, I guess it isn’t surprising that not every gamer has principles like that though. Most people just view games as entertainment, so who cares right? I played Evolution Studios’ Onrush while it was online, and it’s a great atypical car combat game but what did they do? Shut it down. At least I can still play it solo against bots, but when that game came out, and when I looked at stuff like 1991’s Neverwinter Nights, I decided never to engage with a game that can just be shut off.

      Yeah I own LP2 on PC, but I also have a 360 copy so I can coop it, which shouldn’t have to be the case, fuck GFWL. Sucks there’s no new LP…
