Hello, I just got Torment Tides on Xbox One and noticed there's no clear way to move inventory from one character's backpack to another. I know on PC its a simply drag and drop, but on console I'm wondering if this simple mechanic was missed or if there's supposed to be another way?

Is it just me, or has this been one of the slowest years for good games? Especially for the 360. I mean so far all that's really come out is Street Fighter IVand really, who plays 2D fighting games anymore? The only potential gem left for the remainder of this year on 360 seems to be Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 in November, but that's about it. Maybe it's the economy, who knows. For me, the next game I'm looking forwrd to is Mass Effect 2 for 2010. Yawn, a mediocre year this will be.

I gotta admit, there is a huge problem with the presence of racial harrassment on XBOX Live. If your voice even "sounds" like a non-white person, people will blast you with racial profanity like they even knew what you looked like. My question is, is this presence due to the fact racists feel this is a safe place to call people the "n" word and other racial insults without getting into trouble, or because gamers get caught up in the feeling of escape and empowerement in a virtual world making them say things they would not normally.

I think if there were more minority gamers out there, this would be brought up as a bigger issue than is treated. I also notice, that alot of people will listen to others yell racial profanity and not do anything about it. That basically, they don't care. I would like to make one thing clear, that is xbox live is not "white territory", it is for everyone to enjoy. And if you have a problem with minorities, I think its pathetic that your using xbox live to voice your ignorance and a coward to hide behind your mic like that.

Just to make one last thing clear, while most of what I hear are insults toward minorities, I have also h minorties insulting white gamers as well. I think both ways are wrong and a problem that needs to be resolved better. The trick is voice communication is harder to track as evidence compared to text such as if this would occur on an MMO like WOW.

What does stress have anything to do with my point? Or drugs for that matter? Its like your pulling random irrevalent examples now to try and argue with me. "it's not just about increasing the heart beating" I guess you mean it's not about increase your heart rate is better English. Answer me this, how are you knowing if your getting fit, if there's not heart rate monitor and your normal body weight? Have you even participated in varsity sports?

If you are an english teacher, I'd be glad if you give me free lessons. For one, I think that being brazilian, I did a good job learning english by myself.

Back to the point, you claim increasing heart rate is the ultimare proof WiiFit does work. But what if it featured a heart rate monitor? It still wouldn't check if you're doing the exercices right, which is the most important.

Lol sorry about that last comment, I deleted the whole thing. The only way your going to know if your doing an excercise right, really in any fitness program is if you have a trainer actually watching you. So really the most you can hope for is that your actually getting healthy, which is the most important thing, not that your doing the excercises perfectly.

Oh God this is getting worse

Look, for people who think that heart rate is important (which depends on the case and you're blowing it out of proportion) then they're able to go buy one to use.

Since a heart rate monitor costs 20 bucks you're set. Go buy one and time your rate all the time, spend the extra 5 and get the illuminated one that works in the dark, go nuts.

Also if you had the game you'd know that none of the exercises are very long so a heart rate monitor would be useless for close to all of them. The longest one is a timed step but the tempo never goes at a pace that would make a normal healthy person go above their recommended heart rate.

Then I think you've come to the point that Nintendo needs to be honest about. That this product is useless if your already healthy. And that healthy people such as children, should be outside playing then using this. I think too many youth are going to think this is a great way and excuse not to go outside and be healthy when this thing is actually completely useless.

What's stopping you from heading into your local pharmacy and purchasing a heartrate monitor then?Genexi2

It would have been more beneficial for the consumer to just have integrated it into the controller. Buying it seperately still makes the essential data not integrated into the Wii Fitness program. In other words, it would have been better to see it on the monitor while your doing the workout and have records kept on the Wii Fit of how your heart rate was.

Or how about this, you treat it as a game, nothing more, and go to a doctor for a professional checkup. Its not supposed to be taken as a serious fitness exercise, its a bit of fun that can get you fit in the processshazbazz

But that's the thing. This isn't suppose to be just a game, Nintendo is marketing this as an actual fitness device. That's why....there's actual fitness exercises in it. You even contradict yourself in your statment by saying "you treat it as a game, nothing more" then go on to saying "its a bit of fun that can get you fit in the process". Either it makes you fit, or it doesn't.

Why should WiiFit do that? It's up to pros to test the software and say if it's worth something. Just showing your heart is beating faster doesn't prove anything.Wintry_Flutist

A faster rate is everything lol. It proves your burning calories, that your circulatory system is actually being engaged, that your actually getting fit! Why do you think athletes measure their heart rates during practices sometimes? Its to see if they're reaching their target or not. The pros, which I assume you mean the creators, only care about making money. If they didn't inlucde this, is probably because it would have driven the cost beyond want they wanted to sell this product. Most health professions measure a resting heart rate as a key indicator how healthy you are. Someone who does the same workout as someone else, but at a higher heart rate, is clearly not on the same fitness level because their body has to work harder to complete the task. I can't believe you made this statement lol.
