Two More XBLA Titles are Delisted

  • Posted on 11 July 13 at 13:58
    You can't buy from Demos. I had one of Voltron (And also TMNT: ReShelled)...and neither were able to unlock the full game once it was delisted.

    If I remember correctly, the pop-up to buy the game gives it either a negative MSP cost (thus being impossible to charge) or gives it some insane number that nobody would have.

    Correction 2 people. The first person to do it was challenger428. TA put him on stat tracking because nobody could prove the achievement wasn't glitched and he didn't obtain it properly as nobody can do it. (despite the video walkthrough on his youtube channel proving him earn it) TA investigation team if i remember correctly didn't realize the guy couldn't speak english so when the sent a message for him to tell his side of the story he didn't understand what was happening until it happened ...

    Of course it's not my business, might have been more games involved as he has a REALLY high ratio and plays nothing but hard games (which i guess looks dodgy to some extent) but none the less despite bit off topic (to an extent) 2 people here completed it laugh

    ...
    You know I was curious about him not being on the completion list. I thought it was because he was one of those gamers who didn't care about completion. For example, if you track top riders in Trials: Evolution they have the neckbreaking hard achievements but not ones like the collectables.

    Thanks for that knowledge.
    XBLA addict.

    I can't believe people would spend MSP on this crap when there are a bunch of good games on XBLA, actually worth your time and money. These 2 piles of puke getting delisted is a favor to us all.

    oh crap, months ago i asked myself why this amazing Japanese gamer challenger428 was deleted from TA Leaderboards... he was one of the best player on this site (maybe the best?), he was also the first gamer to complete Black Knight Sword (one of the hardest xbla game) and the only one to complete it in 2012... his skill on his xbla vids on youtube is just crazy

    so that's why i didn't understand why the investigation team keep him far from the leaderboards...

    War of the Worlds is now at the top of my list of games that I thought about buying, and only regretted not buying once they were delisted. It only makes the top because it's the one I most feel I should've bought. I don't know much about it, but it looks like it played similar to Limbo or Deadlight which I might've enjoyed.

    Oh, good. I was worried gamers were getting a reputation as some sort of meth addicts who just have to buy everything available. Thank you for posting things like this and obviously not pushing that image at all....

    I thought this might happen soon. So I bought war of the worlds last month. Love the book and the movies. Te game looks great and a bitching hard achievement does not put me off. So glad I bought it.

    Sad to see games get delisted.

    On the other hand, I grab the trial for every XBLA game and try them out, and more often than not the games are garbage. I can see why both of these had less than 6% conversion rates. I was definitely among the non-converters.

    Actually he got removed for having the Nail'd DLC achievements, which from what I heard can unlock if you live in Japan. But TA removed him anyway.

    Only hoarders are hurt by this news...
    Job & A Social Life, achievements most gamers refuse to earn...therefore, their ratios are high.
