I won't lie...I've been playing Gears of War 2 again. I just learned how to do the shield glitch last night and find it very non useful. The melee through walls is great though, but very cheap. I do weapon slide as I believe it is not really a glitch that needs to be addressed. Title updates seems great and I'm glad it is coming soon.

Can't wait for that patch. Gears has got a lot of flak from a lot of people, but that hasn't stopped all my buddies (myself included) and a lot of people enjoying playing the game as is. This patch will address some issues, but no matter what they do, there are some things that Epic just can't fix. Bring on the pre-complaints!

I haven't played GoW2 online but I must say that for a company that was made the company it is today largely on the back of it's online gameplay they certainly seem to be struggling to a degree in that field with both bugs in GoW 1 and 2 and UT3's rather lack luster reception. Thats not to take away from GoW's online success despite the flaws, but I am surprised that they have been somewhat sloppy in that regard over the past 2 or 3 years. After GoW1 I certainly expected them not to go through the same old again.

I guess GoW1 on PC can't be called flawless either. It's a shame and I'd love to see Epic concentrate a bit more on the quality control rather than having gamers waiting for patches because they feel the game is unplayable.

Smigit, I think most of the bugs deal with getting into cover. With a very ambiguous cover system like they have, programming must be a nightmare. No matter what they do, some bugs cannot be fixed and are just part of the game.

Even with that said people try to say the glitches ruin the game, but anymore my buddies and find a match in usually under a minute, no lag, and nobody glitches anymore (which I was pretty surprised about).

wow last night when I was playing Horde, there was a Locust glitch. It was the last guy of the wave, and he suddenly flipped up in the air! and practically was just standing in the air and shooting us. Of course we take damage, but when we shot back, he just won't die! He ended up killing all 3 of us... that was just retarded.

Maybe it's just me, but I hate when developers release updates that add new achievements if they're going to force you to download content to get that (and pay for it).

It's you. That or your among achievement ######. No one is forcing you to buy the maps, wether or not they add achievements, it doesn't make a difference.

I like getting achievements, but I don't see why you're bothered about new achievements being with new dlc.

I'm pretty sure games themselves are only allowed to have 1000 GamerScore, and the extra GamerScore that is allowed for that game must be DLC.

I might not be correct but I think I am.

You are correct. Crackdown had a similar scenario, where paid DLC was released and there were new achievements that came with the new content.

Not necessarily. It can just be for an update. Bioshock has 1100 from an update.

And you guys are missing my point. If people don't want to be associated with bad DLC, don't associate it with them. It's the same reason you don't buy games -- they don't interest you, you don't like them, or they're crap (or you don't feel the price is justified). I think DLC should only have achievements attributed to those that buy it. I think the current Gears 2 DLC is crap, for instance.

I swear, all 4 of us couldn't take down that one single floating Drone. Instead it was armed with a shotty and well we died, because no matter how much ammo you waste on it, it does NOT DIE! LOL!

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).

      I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
