I'm with you, I also want games offline(or online but not on Microsoft's server) with achievements, like Devil May Cry 4 or Mass Effect that have an internal achievement system but they aren't online.

The achievement system is the part of live that I prefer.

You did not get the point. The game wouldn't use Live server for online game, but just for the achievements, to stay in contact with its friend and chat togheter.

Did you ever chat with a friend while playing totally differents game? It's funny.

It's not the same, Live is integrated with the game. ;-)

Dragon Fire 017:

I tried Xfire, I was interesting in functions Live-like. When I found that the "join the server" didn't work with most of game I deleted it.

Also the video recording function was very bad, FRAPS is way better.

@Dragon Fire- Nice list you got there.

                             Yeah, oh and about the next Elder Scrolls game, Beth better change the leveling system (unlike TES 4), or I am not getting it.

                             TES 4 was a awesome game that was destroyed by its leveling system. No offence to TES players of course. But seriously, you got to understand that anyone will have beef with Beth (Or any game Developer) if they had to level up in a half-dead stupor in real life.

Need help? Send me a messege through LIVE or make a new post in Malay or Chinese if English isn't your first language.

I maybe a Big fan of the TES but that is onr of the things that i dident like with TES 4 the leveling was just really stupid...I hope in the new ES they have something like what Fallout 3...

Like for example You get exp you level up and can add points to your Attributes Agilty, Luck, etc..But you skill which used to level you up on TES 4 just level up independently...That sounds better what dose everyone else think...

Making it mandatory is a big turn off, because it presents limitations, specifically to multiplayer, because GFW-Live is not a very widely used multiplayer platform. 

But there is a way around this.

You know how on Steam, if you add a non-Steam game, you can still Shift-Tab to access the overlay and all your Steam friends and whatnot?  Why not implement a similar feature?  Create a piece of software that you can add games to, so you can access the GFW-Live dashboard from any game you add it to.  It wouldn't be that difficult a task; they already have the whole dashboard created, they would just need a tool to let you add it to other games.

No, I don't. The client communicate with the game, it says that is open(and the game chooses if pause or not) and the game could tell "There are subtitles, display the warning on top". Yes, your idea it's the right one(older game first) but should be better that the news would support it.

But I like if you are playing a game, a friends invite you to play in another game that you have installed instead of the message that ask you to close and start from that game, it prompts you to close and start it automatically.

Please don't thread hijack and read the original post this was made as a petition for not against and I totally agree for the fact that it means future improvments to the GFWL client
