Xbox 360 fraud :(

[Dmitry Vorobyev]

Although what I’m going to say say has nothing to do with Steam but I can’t keep silence. Anger and sadness overwhelmed me.

Originally the game was released on Xbox 360, received the low scores and the developers sat down to globally alter the game, they say about 70% was changed. But re-made version they released only on PS3 and Steam, and initial platform was forgotten. I can’t understand this approach. Roughly speaking, xbox users and journalists were like beta-testers for their money, and developers didn’t even bother to repay them.

If what you say its true, I agree completely. I bought this game on release on Xbox Live Arcade, loved the graphics and the concept. But that first version seemed odd, rushed (like a beta as you say). Not that it was so difficult to patch the game or add the cut content, wasn't it? At least now I can enjoy it on PC

Yeah I got it on the 360, the trailer for this game shows stuff that wasn't in the 360 version. It was suppose to be part 1 of 3 originally, but they just left it by the wayside instead providing things to the PS3 and steam, no idea if they ever even put out a fully finished product or not. I'm not even sure if this verison is going to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ complete but I liked the 360 one so I'm going to get this in hopes that it is complete so I can actually see the story through, chances are that it's going to end on a cliff hanger cause they didn't finish the game before they just stopped working and then closed up shop.
They closed cause this game didn't sell well, which is likely because they didn't finish the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ story.

Actually, there is a reason why they didn't update the xbox 360 version: it cost money :| Let me explain why:

Microsoft actually asked the devs (every company) to pay the fee for patching their game which it's around ten of thousands of dollars, that was NO joke... It's also the other reason why they can't talk about it until recently due to their contrats done with Microsoft. (meaning around 2013)

So, I could guess at the time of today, it was too late since the devs are no longer existed. Due to this:

"On March 19, 2012, the company suffered due to not having enough money, went broke and was ultimately put into administrative control. It is in the process of selling IP and assets, most notably the Hydrophobia series and the Hydroengine." source: http://www.justpushstart.com/2012/03/dark-energy-digital-closes-down/

As you can see, it happened right before microsoft updated their new policy about the patching fees which you can read there: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-26-microsoft-no-longer-charges-developers-to-patch-their-xbox-360-games

Hope it helped you understand why it happened.

Actually it has helped, thanks! Its was a sad turn of events... they couldn't patch the game because it was so expensive :( :(

If they had to alter 70% of the game, then what they left untouched must have been pure gold!

F****** Micro$hit is the reason we'll never see anything from these guys again. Lovely. *Sarcasm*

The Xbox 360 version is on sale right now at $1.79. Is this still worth getting on Xbox despite not having the additional content?

Update: I ended up buying the Xbox 360 version despite having less content. At $1.79(which I bought with my Xbox gift card, I thought it was worth it).

Oh, like Tales of Vesperia and Ninja Gaiden 2. Funny thing is: those 2 games we're still great, this one not even with the upgrades.
