Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    ..Microtransations!!

    From the Kameo website:
    As a little treat for Kameo's forum followers, we thought you might like to take a sneak peek at something from the Winter Warrior Pack. While we're keeping the Warriors themselves a secret for now, take a look at this:

    Yes, that's an in-game shot (apart from the large floating golden letters, at least). Of course, Pummel Weed, Chilla and co. can't wait to get in on the festive spirit and they all receive a similarly wintery makeover too. As some newshounds have discovered, you'll be able to purchase these new looks as and when you'd like from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

    Now that's just pathetic. First the games will be anywhere from €65 to €80, depending on where you go, then they want to start charging for stuff like this. There was a time when devs would be more than happy to stick stuff like this in a game as "easter eggs", for free. Couldn't be more opposed to the spirit of Christmas either.

    That was always coming, only a matter of time before xbox live as well as being online gaming turns into an online shop, purchase skins for games and what not.
