I wish it would have sold more.
Then they would have put in that extra content they'd talked about, it was a great game.

Viva pinata was awesome, but where the hell is the dlc? and don't talk to me about hats and glasses. I'm talking new pinatas and shovels

They abandoned those of us who did play and enjoy their game. I too looked forward to some dlc tlc, but it never bloomed. I believe that they mis-marketed that game. I throughly enjoyed it, and lets just say I'm waaay out of their target demo. They should have kept supporting it, we did. Those of you who are speaking badly of Viva didn't play it. It was by no means a kids game. The sequel they released didn't appeal to the core Viva Pinata fan base.

VP is still one of my top few 360 games. I hope they make a proper sequel on the 360 at some point.

No DLC? I think it was crap, didnt need to play it either. How many comments are here? I think it speaks for itself. Why are we fed such foolish games? Why is my 360 still in germany after 6 frigging weeks? Why is this going to be my third 360 since launch? Why wont i be reimbursed for the subscription that i paid 'in advance for' be refunded to me? Why wont microsoft answer any bonifide questions that you put to them? How long is the xbox community going to stand for this. WE ARE ALL BEING HOODWINKED. Im sick of it, I love live but im starting to think that its not worth my while. 3 CONSOLES SINCE LAUNCH MS? ALL HAD THE RROD. Ive been a gamer for over 25 years now, and due to my xbox 3shitty i am sadly comig to the conclsion that I just cant be bothered with all the BS that comes with bying one of these consoles. Not that i want a ps3, fuck that, but i think that the time has come for me as a consumer to say. I QUIT. AND YOU CAN STUFF YOUR 10000 GAMERSCORE UP YOUR ARSES

Same thing happened to Viva Pinata that happened to Shadowrun. Either there was little money spent for advertisment or no money at all. For Viva Pinata most of Microsofts advertising money was spent on Gears of War but for Shadowrun all of it was spent on Halo 3.

Have to agree and say VP is an excellent game, I've kept hold of it for the DLC and we've had nothing.
@7: Have you even read what you typed?
"I think it was crap, didn't need to play it either"
Then how can you form an opinion without any experience of it? By what other people have told you? Because it's not your sort of game so must be crap?
Sort it out.

@ 7 playing games for 25 years? What an immature guy you must be, reading it I'd have thought you was a 3 year old throwing his toys out his pram.
Last i checked the article was about Viva pinata, not your bitch fest cause you can't maintain a console properly.

maintain a console properly! Can you not read you infidel. 3 consoles with the rrod. Just to explain, rrod is a hardware issue not through poor upkeep of my console.
And im immature? Why? because ive owned every console since the zx spectrum, right through to this xbox3shitty. Im a hardcore gamer buddie, im married and have children who are next gen gamers. I dont bother writing stupid posts about a pinata, i dont write posts at all. Im just stating the facts about the state of the xbox360. Ide also put good money on the fact that this is your first 360. The rrod will come to you and when it does, i hope you think of me.
On a side note, its you who is playing viva pinata, a childs game, a game that my 13 year old wouldnt touch with a barge pole, so who is the immature one? Me thinks its you.
