So i had my friend recover my xboxlive profile on his console to get the rest of the cog tags on gears 1, and when i tried to recover it back, it got about 3/4 done, and a message popped up that said xboxlive signup is currently unavailable, plaese try again later. Can anyone tell me what is wrong, or what i have to do to get my profile back? Thanks in advance.

"So I had a friend"...

That's where you lost credibility, you steaming bell-end.

As soon as I get a tv I'll see if I can help. I'm from Efrika so it might take a bit.

Perhaps if you tried the god damn gaming forum if you can find it now the fcuking owners of this palce have screwed it down to the software section.

Oh and vok, dam fcuking console noob. Play proper games on a pc ffs.

NO, not the ones in the toms games section.

Hey, I like Footie and Forza. What am I supposed to do?

Reply to Vokofpolisiekar

Flog yourself.

It's not a proper game unless you are waging war against something.

I got a pc - but fcuk me it's a biatch to stay up to speed on the tech. TBH, I got a PC just for CoH and Silent Hunter. Other than that, FPS is dull to me and sports just can't be better than on the leaf blower.... errr, Xbox.

Why can't he do both?

I get where SS is coming from. Consoles are making PC games restrictive seeing that "next gen" console games these days are used to port to the PC. But looking at my taste and then what I pay for and the time it lasts (ie sport games) the console is the only way in that regard.

The day of reckoning will come when thou shall burn for your sinful ways, mark my words.

Sorry, i'm a snob tis all. Also IMO consoles started all this exclusive ***.

I don't like how they use games to seperate people or as vok rightly points out they are dumbed down so they can work at crappy low res's.

Mostly it is in jest though, sort of.

I can't stand the port. It has really marred games like L4D (no server list? Only "chatrooms" and groups?).

And I sure as hell don't want a game that needs a gamepad to play right (What was the series with "Snake" in it?).

My wife bought me the 360. Some games are fun on it, like Burnout Revenge (which recently came as a whole package for the PC I believe...:(), Dead Rising, Fable, or some others. But the best games they just aren't focusing on anymore.

the whole point of a CONSOLE was to be able to have someone over at your place PLAYING AT THE SAME TIME. Most of them now seem to concentrate on hawking XBL and forcing you to play with a bunch of strangers that you are randomly paired with (unless you put them on your very limited and clunky "friends" system).

Unfortunately, there seems to be a flood of console owners making it harder to make and market PC titles........

I JUST KANT WATE FOR THE LATEST FPS FOR TEH BOX OMGWTFBBQMFSOB!!!!!

:p

The only truly exclusive is the PC game that can't fit into the realm of the console world.

As much as I enjoy my sporting games on the Xbox, I fully understand the idiotic effect it has on the gaming market. Luckily, the true gems of gaming will always be on the PC and trust me Gears ain't one of them!

Reply to Vokofpolisiekar

Auto-Aim anyone?

And it is SO much fun talking with Juvies that say that a mouse is no better for FPS than a controller.

Oh, and don't get me started on RTS.....

So, does anyone know what i am asking. And, btw, i like forza 2 aswell, its my favorite game on the 360.

A FPS or a strategy game on a console is like organic Bran flakes.

You can never replace the freedom of a mouse and keyboard combo
(looks at laptop mouse pad - sobs)

I need a new rig

I have tried using the touchpad...

What a nightmare!


BTW "Cameron" read the stickies, will ya? You will get abused here no matter what you ask or how long you have been here.

But the less time you have been here, and the more innane the question (ESPECIALLY if there is another forum section that deals SPECIFICALLY WITH QUESTIONS LIKE YOURS) the more abuse you will get for asking about recovering a frigging USELESS EXCUSE FOR IMPORTANCE as a "gamertag".

This ain't Steam. You can still play your games. Now do a search and piss off.

I think SS's problem is that the only console in Scotland is the "Wee".
