Personally I think Xbox 360/720/whatever is a rip off. With Xbox you have to pay just to play online which should be a free feature. Now the drm bs, insulting people and the rumors of the price being very high. The only thing Xbox really had was 2 exclusives (Gears of War and Halo) and it got some DLC and this game for whatever bs reason earlier. We have to assume that it was Mircosofts usually bs of them wanting it first and they basically reduced Rare the company who made so many great games into a mini game collection developer.
Well, I ain't going to get it anyway, since I already got it on Steam, and my PS3 is the only console currently near being connected to a power socket.
i wanted the xbox exclusives mainly the zero skin (apparantly they can't be moved cross platform ? and i only have borderlands 2 on xbox) and the glados avatar...still 4 quid on steam i got the first poker night and the second one... and 800 msp for the pn2 on xbox live... no brainer as far i'm concerned..since i wrongly assumed it was only on pc again lol...
on day 1 of pn2 on xbox got all the bonuses and most of the cheevos and only got the deck/felt/chip cheevos left.. there is swearing no option to turn it off and the difficulty is 'hard' ish...compared to pn1.
the xbox version also has a bit of freezing when giving cheevos/ bonuses and the cards stay up a bit too long even after the hand is over, they are still visable just above the boarders of the hud sometimes.. also in some ways it's better more funny in others it's bit boring lol
I've been playing a bit of Poker Night 2 on Xbox Live tonight. I'm enjoying it quite a bit (although I'm not very good at it).
I'm disappointed that I have to go to a sleep study and won't be able to play it again until tomorrow, which is probably the best praise anyone could give to any game.
From the small videos I've watched, Ash's character sort of worries me. He sounds too tame. Ash sounds normal in casual conversation, but his VA just says stuff WAYYYYY too calm. Not worried, though: I think it's because I haven't seen enough of Ash to make a judgement.
I disagree. There's a lot of funny Ash lines, like when he talks about his ex-girlfriends, and especially the part where he's asked how he lost his arm).
If you haven't heard any funny lines from Ash, keep playing and you'll hear them. In my first dozen or so playthroughs of Poker Night 1, I found The Heavy uninteresting, but that was just because I hadn't yet heard his best lines.
It is still the 25th here in the US, so that is why it isn't out right now on steam
I know that but I'm not a frequent user of Steam, so don't know if it splits according to localisation like the online console gamestores do. I was hoping that I'd see a date rather than 'coming soon', which sounds either uncertain or lazy.
Edit: Thanks, Puzzlebox!
So when do they update? Midnight PST? 9am PST? When they feel like it? Hopefully it'll be out by 6pm BST.

Also, assuming Steam is Steam worldwide, when do they update? Midnight PST? 9am PST? When they feel like it? Hopefully it'll be out by 6pm BST.
I don't know much on time zones, but I think it'd be 6PM BST exactly.(steam usually updates at 1:00PM EST which I think is 6 PM BST) Of course this is assuming that is when the game comes out.
The shitty part is that everyone is bending over for Microsoft.

I really can't see why people would be acquiescing if it were a "Give us launch exclusivity or you can't get on our console" thing. If a couple of developers publicly announced that they were dropping xbox support because it would prevent them from treating all gamers on supported platforms equally, I can't imagine that ending well for Microsoft.
It's only a sustainable stance so long as nobody calls them out on it.

Well, if the next XBox is revealed to actually have most of the rumored features that they are rumored to have, I doubt they will be keeping the tight grip they seem to have for much longer
I still can't believe that there's such a fuss over two days of exclusivity.
I mainly gripe about it because said 2 days of exclusivity caused me to wait 3 days longer than they initially targeted it for on the Steam Store Page for something I have been wanting rather fervently for ever since the TF2 Items were patched in and they were found in the item schema.

bit off topic lol

Patience is a virtue.

That's what I was getting at, but I don't think I put it anywhere near so eloquently
