Imo, they both kinda suck, although crimson dragon is better. But don't listen to me, I could barely make it through the tutorial in ssz.

Yeah, agreed. Neither of them are great games, but I at least had a decent time playing through Crimson Dragon. Couldn't make it through more than 2 SSZ missions though. That game is bad.
I really enjoyed Crimson dragon and vigorously hated Strike Suit.
Both are very repetitive, but Strike' gimmick is transforming into a robot that doesn't move forward, which I found particularly terrible, while Crimson has a great art direction, much better music and classic Panzer Dragon gameplay.
Strikes missions are too long as well, while Crimson is better for short bursts.

MTV (NA, maybe more?) & Reddit(NA/Canada) apps should be available now.

Ew, that's a gross way of handling that. Nothing better than the momentum of a story-driven game being curbed by a download request.
Googlefu:
The initial download after purchase contains both the Traffic and Patrol desks (6.67GB). The additional three desks are downloaded separately through the in-game marketplace Arson desk (1.13GB), Vice desk (915MB) and Homicide desk (1.71GB). The L.A. Noire game and the additional desks will only be playable with the initial download installed. All three additional desks can be downloaded at any point from the in-game marketplace, allowing for easier hard drive space management.

I read just now that all 3 discs for LA Noire cover roughly 19GB. So, what will happen if I download it digitally? Will I have to DL a further 12GB or so after disc 1? Many thanks!
EDIT: Thanks to the posters above. Still, seems weird. The info above this post makes it seem like the full game is around 12GB, when I've read that the 3 discs cover 19GB. Confusing.

Dishonored is a great game, but god damn, I am terrible at stealth games.
Lol me too. Don't have the patience usually. I enjoy them,but I'm not good at them.
No, it isn't.
Apparently it has been "free" for awhile now. But the sale got everyone to notice.
The "free" part is the trial version of Trials.

Good news Comcast Users! You're about the only cable customer who can't access MYV content on the app...yay for monopolies!
Seriously? Not that I use that app..
But having access to content gated off by retailers and now cable providers.
Do you have a cable plan? Most of the apps require that you have some tier plan that already allows access to the content.

Yeah, both sucked for me. I played two levels of CD and two of SSZ. SSZ is the better game for me but you have to really be a fan of the genre for it to have replay value. I really struggled with it.

Yep, I have a plan with Comcast, but they feel the need to be one of the only cable providers not offering MTV access via the app. Pretty laughable.
My monopolies comment is simply because Comcast is the only provider in my area, so it's them or nothing, so they can do stuff like this and not have any real consequences.

Makes sense. We've had a new Forza every year since 2011.
On the Xbox Rewards forum, they said they will no longer have one every month but every 2-3 months.

So def. Halo Channel looked exquisite. Very hyped about one for Forza. Even just the tourney intros in FM5 have been very edifying. I'd love an interactive hub of car content like that.
They had this on the Web site for awhile, nice to see on the console. But it is missing alot of titles. It needs to be utilized better. I can see it as a good digital order portal though.
I would love to preordered all the games on there but the one that you actually can. Ha!

Not sure where to post this but thought I'd ask since its Xbox Live related.
I'm in Spain at the moment so I was wary about buying certain games due to the languages only offering Spanish and no English. One of these is Destiny so I had decided to buy if digitally.
Yesterday my PAL version of FIFA 14 kept playing up, it said install the game even though it was so I decided to uninstall it and start fresh. At this time I was connected to the US marketplace even though I'm from the UK because I buy DLC since it's cheaper.
As we all know even with disc copies when it comes to installing it just downloads from Xbox Live instead of pulling the content from the disc unless offline. Well after FIFA 14 finished downloading/installing I started it only to notice I was actually playing the NTSC version with ESPN presentation rather than the PAL version which I have on disc.
So is this a thing that it doesn't matter what region disc you have it will download the version to the region you have enabled on the Xbox One settings? Would I be safe to buy the Spanish copy of Destiny then let it install online through the UK or US region and it would be in English rather than Spanish?
I want to test it out again but the internet here is 6mb download so installing some of these games is hours long throughout the night but I just wondered if anyone else noticed this.

I buy all my games from the US marketplace. Ingame language for me is dependent on the region setting of the console. If I leave it on US , its English; when I change to Germany, its in German.
My guess is, that due to the sometimes bloated install sizes, it always installs several language files.

Warframe? Interested too since it's F2P right. Looks cool, I believe it's part of the Dark Sektor universe.
