After the fluff of yesterday, I wish to make a complaint.
Epic Games are doing my head in.
Yes, Gears of War 2 is an old game, but is there really any reason at all I have had to use three different profiles so far to play the game? I started with our secondary profile, moved on to my 'American' one and now I'm on my son's.
What happens is that the game fails to load when played in Co-op. Epic are/were aware of this and the 'fixes' I've tried have failed. I've deleted and reclaimed my profile (that usually works), I've gone to the 'Training Grounds' while not signed in and signed in there. No joy. All three profiles have earned some of the same achievements (my active reload is getting much better) and I can still play the game with my hubby, so that's not the issue. The issue is, if they are/were aware of it why couldn't they just 'patch' it? Send an update to Xbox Live? Surely not all players who wish to play Co-op aren't bothered about not being able to get all the acheivements? Gah!

Ooh, do you still get a dividend for playing the co-op?
Ok, I'll get me coat now.

Maybe someone should invent a game in which the object is to try and log in using the correct password and then finding how to reload all the strengths skills and magic sweeties you had when you last played it. They could build in pseudo power cuts and blue screen deaths. And the final scene could be one in which you get to meet the program project manager and beat him to death with a magic console, made by a rival company.

Hubby has just had an 'issue' with Dragon Age DLC.
When Bioware (the game makers) were made aware of it they posted the solution in every forum they could find. It still works over two years on.
Epic's solution doesn't. The problem we have is also confounded by the fact the DLC for Gears was done on one of the profiles that will now not play the game - I'm buggared if I'm going to pay for it, I'd bought the Special Edition specifically so I didn't have to. I might have to start the game all over again (after we've completed this one).
