    X360 game install & patch content FOR EACH PLAYER!?
    Why on earth should you have to install the game for each gamertag that wants to play this game? And why the hell is patch content owned the the player account.

    This means that the 11GB current size of defiance for my gamertag becomes a 22GB because my friend came over and wants to play his character on my console!

    This is totally ridiculous!

    Lol. What's ridiculous is the fact you are complaining about something so... null and void. Hard drive space comes and goes. Delete some other stored items. Your friend doesn't NEED to play om your console.

    No, he's right. What if you have a family? What if my wife and 2 kids want to play this game? That's a lot of HD space on a drive that has a max of 250 gigs. It doesn't make any kind of sense.

    But he is talking about a friend. And what if he had a family? Well, simple solution: On the character select screen, scroll right until you see the option to start a new character. I just tried it and BOOM loaded up a new story, no extra download required.

    That is weird! never would have thought that you had to install it and then update again when it has already been done on the console 0.0

    My husband and I both play on one XBox and I agree. It kinda sucks. I mean I have plenty of storage space but having to do the patch twice is kinda lame. Plus we both have to buy the dlc, which had never happened before with any other game.

    I suppose we could have started under the same gamertag but, I want to be able to play with my friends on my gamertag and get my OWN achievments

    Yeah... that kinda sucks. Most likely an oversite in programming as a result of the game being rushed to market. Probably a manageable barrier for most people ( unless theyre using a 20-60 gig HD ) and most likely something Trion will fix at a later date, presuming that the game has a comperable lifespan to that of other MMOs.

    Honestly, the game came out at a bad time. Spring 2013. The beginning of the hype train express for next gen consoles. And if most people trade in their Xbox's and PS3's along with the games... then yeah. Not to mention one of the biggest franchises is coming out in September in a big way (GTA V)? Exit stage right or left?

    Totally agree. I think the release at the end of the generation was a bad idea. Although I am a console hoarder and will prob never trade mine in. Lol

    They do have the summer. Crysis 3 died quickly. BioShock has the single player masses cornered for now. But once August rolls around... Saint's Row IV. Then the the following month is GTA. October is Battlefield 4. And then boom, new consoles.

    Hopefully they can make good use of the summer cause I'm here in Defiance for the long haul but all 4 of these reasons will drag my attention away I am sure.

    What's ridiculous is you Trion fanboys that think Trion does no wrong. That's why they feel they can continue to put out a buggy game a month after release.

    I don't think that is working as intended. submit feedback on it.

    I have no issues actually. at least none apparent. my gripes are all balance related as I'm reaching endgame and are focusing more on pvp than pve
