It's got a great line-up thus far, my collection contains some fantastic games, and online is simple and quick to connect to friends. If it weren't for the number of RROD and hardware problems, I'd reckon it may be one of the greatest ever. Here's hoping the Xbox 720 or whatever isn't as cheaply made. Anyway:

Splinter Cell : Double Agent
Thinking of buying a new game for it, it's a toss between Mass Effect, The Orange Box or GRID : Race Driver. Any recommendations?
-
Tuff: I would say Mass Effect if you want alot of playthrough and if you are a fan of RPG type of games, especially creating yoru main character is a cool add on. But if you want a fun but not much people have been on line playing Team Fortress recently but overall you can get alot of play time with the half-life games at least. . then go for Orange Box.

I finally opted for The Orange Box. Don't get me wrong, ME looks all kinds of awesome, but at the minute Oblivion and Eternal Sonata are keeping me well occupied in terms of RPG's on the 360 alone, and I'm also playing The World Ends With You on the DS, FF Tactics on PSP and Digital Devil Saga on PS2 XD
Orange Box is brilliant so far. Portal's mind boggling to actually see and already had some great moments in TF2. Like my Engineer celebrating and then an enemy soldier runs and blows me to pieces :lol:

Great choice Tuffty! :lol:
The PC version of ME is out, so that can be an option for you later. Since the game is kinda like Neverwinter Nights and SW:KOTOR, it's more suited to a PC interface.
On the other hand, the 360 version's price hopefully might drop a bit from it too. :)
(Side note. It was the game that made me buy a 360 in the first place. and yes it's good~ :P)
I'll still need to buy a PS3 for MGS4 though, forcing me to own all platforms and handhelds this gen (somebody win this race already). Talking about a love/hate feeling.
At least I'll get blu-ray goodness. And less worry for getting Vader for Soul Calibur4. :wub:

Focused on finishing Ninja Gaiden 2 today. Quite good for what may be Itagaki's NG swansong.
I selected Acolyte, but it still felt hard near the end. Had to continue 3-4 times to beat the end-boss, made harder since I already used up all recovery items in the fights beforehand.
But the challenge did make it feel sweeter to finish. :P
Although it does suffer some bad camera angles and slowdown, it also has a very extensive array of weapons and movesets (read "ways to rip demons apart"). :twisted:
And also some of the best-looking stages I've seen in some time. Stuff like:
1. hey! I'm watching a commercial on an outdoor big-screen tv over a bridge next to a sakura tree scattering petals in the wind with a bustling neo-tokyo scyscraper city in the background! :w00t:
2. jeez. are those bloody tentacles on the floor moving...?!! XD and what does it belong to? :O Will it feel ticklish when i walk on it?!! :roll:

I've spent too much money on games, yet i have a looong list of games i need to buy. :O
My question is: How do y'all find time to play all your games?
-
With the price drop and the announcement of FFXIII I might just get one now... I've been holding back for long enough, and now I can get rid of my xbox that has been collecting dust with no regret. >_>
-
Ugh, right guys for all those that have played Mass Effect, I seriously need some help. Because whenever I go on missions I just keep on dying. I think it's partly to do with my character class, I chose Vanguard, and go in all guns blazing when I suppose it's not the strategy you should really be taking. I tried the side mission where an ambassador is held hostage on a spaceship and keep getting killed by those biotic guards. I try taking cover but I think they kept on using that Throw move on me which keeps knocking me down onto my ass. I got frustrated and loaded an earlier save and went on the mission with the rogue nuke hidden away on the Amazon planet. Disabled the nuke ok but when I go out there, the guys still kill me, even with the mako!
I guess me being a Vanguard and with limitations like light armor only and pistols and shotguns only puts me at a disadvantage. Anyone care to give me a few tips? Was Vanguard a wrong choice for a noob like me? XD
ME is still all kinds of awesome though. Love just going into the Codex and hearing info about the history and politics behind it all.
-
I dont remember, but i think you can change the difficulty settings 'on-the-fly'. Might be useful for really tight situations. I never had any real trouble the first time around since i was a fucking soldier. On my re-run with higher difficulty i do tend to die alot.
Other than that i don't know. Try doin some side quests to earn them big bucks so you can gear up?

Gamers happily pay full price for sequels that have been rehashed each year (looking at you EA Sports) but when one of the most original and inventive games of this year, and potentially this generation is released for £7, they refuse it? Gamers can prove to be a fickle sort can't they?
Anyway, yes it's short but like Portal it never goes on for too long and ends up with you wanting more. The story's perhaps the best a platform game has seen (wouldn't be that hard), which an ending open to different interpretations and shows us how we're all searching for our princess in a castle.
Pricing is irrelevant when it comes to this game. £150 is far too much for a game like Rock Band. Braid is £7. People pay more than that for lunch or an ironic t-shirt. Show the industry you care for originality and great games! :D

Impressive game collection which he probably never ever plays. I bet those 1000+ messages he's got are all hate mail too. :lol:
-
He never even showed himself play... ass.
I'm not gonna hate on him as a gamer cause I've never seen him play.
But what sucks is that shitty ass crank that soulja boi song is what paid for all that shit.
He's really your typical american gamer though, with all the action and sports games :lol:
-
I wanted to see him play too. :oops:
He might actually be pretty good. Considering that many games and only 3000 points, he isn't touching most of them and just playing online.
-
hahaha.
I got a bug playing Fable 2, and it was at one of the bigger climaxes just before the end of the game! :P
Read on if you've finished the game:
[bgcolor=#000000]After grouping the 3 heroes together, and moving to the centre circle getting ready to merge their powers and summon the final weapon to kill the end guy.
Well, 2 of the heroes were summoning their power... but the 3rd guy with guns just posed there doing nothing!! :O
Which left me stuck in the centre circle :banghead: and only being able to do expressions (like fist pumping and farting..). Stood there for another 10 minutes just in case the guy changed his mind and worked with us. no luck there. :lol:
If I was a hero in real life and running into such a scene, I think I'd cry. XD
Finally had to exit to dashboard, load the save and redo the scene.[/bgcolor]

I've only just recently got an Xbox 360, but no games for it as of yet.
My gamertag: DaiSazer
Only have gold for a month, then it'll go to silver.
I've only a very small number of old Xbox games, which I might still play if nothing else.
At least I can watch DVDs again, since my standalone player died some time ago.
And I can also watch a lot of the stuff I have on disc, avi's and whatnot, as well as streaming from the comp in the frontroom to my 360 to watch stuff that I've downloaded, except for anything that might have been encoded with an older codec like Divx3 LM.
Anyway, feel free to add me if anyone wants to.
-
^ I'll be sure to add you L-San!
So what's everyone's opinions on the new Dashboard? Better or do you prefer the older version? And what do you think of the new avatars? Obviously a Mii knockoff, but do you like them?
-
I would say that I like the new dashboard. I'm still getting used to where to find things with all the new features they have added (which I like). I also like the avatar thing (I kinda modeled mine after my brother) even though I don't use the pic as my gamer pic. I did have fun creating the avatar :lol:
-
I've added you to mine, Tuffty.
-
Had to redo my account and all, so new gamertag: RyuGunOu
I've readded you, Tuffty, just FYI when you see the new friend request. :D
-
I love the new dashboard. The look is great. The "Miis" is a cool concept if you would call it one. Best part is the copying of games to hard drive. No more loud sounds from the drive!
-
I just learned something today about my 360, but I figure its probably something that those who've had a 360 for a while already know.
The 360 can use any pic for a background, just as long as its a jpeg.
-
yup. I switched it a year ago to a pic i took of a girl with big cat hands and never changed it since. :lol:
And try linking it to a network to play media files from the PC, if you haven't, then it becomes fun~
(e.g. walking the wasteland of Fallout 3 with Darth Vader's Imperial March theme is pretty nice~) :twisted:
On another note.
Like all cool/weird stuff I like, I would never get/make/try this.

That does look awesome to have, but when will I find a need for such a thing, and if your found carrying that thing around, consider it stolen. (Well maybe not stolen but people will notice it)

The new christmas theme is nice. I'm so fucking love the new look and everything.
-
The new christmas theme is nice. I'm so fucking love the new look and everything.
New Xmas theme? Gonna go to Marketplace and check it out.
Anyway anyone here is playing Castle Crashers on XBLA?
-
New and new.. I don't know how new. But it's new as in christmas, lol. And free.
I played it through at a friends, but i haven't bought it myself. Just got Guitar Hero World Tour with the drums and everything. My gamertag is in that other thread if anyone wanna challange me in any of the GH games (except Aerosmith).
-
Meh, my one-month trial gold membership ended yesterday and I didn't even have time to make use of it.
What's even worse, I have the damn console now for over a month and still haven't found the time to play a single game on it. And to top this: I just found out M$ dropped the price again :banghead:

How many of you know about 360 Voice?
http://360voice.gamerdna.com/
Your 360 blogs about what you play for you! I knew about this for a while, but just signed up now. Maybe we can create a JPH!P group or something.
Here is mine if you are intrested in seeing a blog. Keep in mind that at the time this post was written, my Xbox hasnt woken up just yet (In their words, not configured fully yet.)

Ah yeh I've got that! Here's my blog if anyone's interested:

Though it can be quite slow in picking up achievements. On one day it was listed I got achievements in Eternal Sonata, but I got them about 2 weeks prior to the announcement...
-
Watched a trailer, which actually used real in-game footage, for Lost Planet 2 on LIVE.
I've never played the first one, but the 2nd one looks like it'll be a helluva game.
-
The first one gets a little boring, and is basically a "how to survive in an all snow environment when aliens attack" simulator. Thankfully, Capcom is such a great dev company for the fans (let's not talk about the stupid complaints about the RE controls though), they really listened to what they wanted and we can already see that in the LP2 trailer. Looks like it's gonna be a heavy hitter, can't wait!
-
wow, the game looks great. Looks like they took heavy influences from western shooters.
-
My 360 died yesterday :( No RROD, but I get an E74 error message when I switch it on. I've read online that it's a power supply issue, in particular with the AV cable and should try a new one first before thinking of repairing it. But can I find AV cables anywhere, nooooooo of course not.
Shame, I so enjoyed playing Left 4 Dead yesterday :(
-
Maybe try to get one off a friend's 360. They won't mind playing one less day if it could help a fellow gamer. :twothumbs
-
Well despite going through trials to get my hands on one, it turns out the AV cable wasn't the problem. And I wasn't willing to deal with the notoriously bad Microsoft support service or wait a month for it to come back to me, so I forked out the cash for an Arcade console yesterday and I'm back to my good ol self. :D
Left 4 Dead is just so much fun, so many great stand out moments. My favourite thus far was waiting in this large room for a tank to come from upstairs, shotguns, assault rifles and molotov's all ready and willing until I notice behind me, the tank busted through the floor :lol: Felt like being in a real horror movie lol
-
Yea the randomness of L4D is great. Try playing it on expert...
-
L4D is excellent, even though I'm not the best at FPS. All my friends play on Steam so I've only got it on PC.
I couldn't say no after I had it gifted in this way:
(http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/310964/l4dxmas.png)
I'm debating whether or not if I should be getting any new games. Street Fighter IV is a bit tempting...but I haven't played figthing games in ages though. /suck
-
^ lol @ XOXOXO Barack Obama...
RE5 comes out soon! Epic. I call dibs on Sheva! SF4 I'm gonna pass. I have Soul Calibur 4, which'll last me untill SC5 (if they make one).
-
^Ooh yes, I was watching my friends play the RE5 demo on PS3. I'll be grabbing a copy of that myself hopefully. The split screen is kind funky.
SC4! My friends were going at it forever. 200% health, 5 of 9 games...over and over and over again. Unfortunately all I've been doing on my 360 lately is drum away on RB2 and be a Netflix whore.
-
ahhh tuff...no wonder i didn't see you on for a little while :)
-
Man, just played the demo of Tom Clancy's HAWX, and that game got a lot going on.
I mean, I like combat flight sim type of games, but the one I'm more used to is the Ace Combat games.
With HAWX, you gotta really be in to win it... whew, so much going on when in combat.
I won't lie, though, its definitely fun, but... whoa.
-
ahhh tuff...no wonder i didn't see you on for a little while :)
haha oh dear. Have I become so predictable? XD
Figured you guys might be interested in this:
http://nxe.weebly.com/index.html
It's a recently created site that provides appropriately sized wallpapers for you to use as the background for your 360, free of charge. All it takes is a matter of saving the image to a USB pen drive, slotting it in your 360 and setting the background through the 'My Pictures' menu when you run the 360. As I said, it's recently started so there's not many wallpapers to choose from, but you're free to request one for others to create, even going so far as to provide the picture for them or even contribute to the site by sending your own if you're up for it.
-
It's all good and fun to have your own wallpapers, but isn't that silver sphere on the bottom always gonna be blocking like half of it? Not to mention those terrible stock friends list backgrounds, :lol:
-
I use a pic of Lucy Pinder for my wallpaper. :D

-
Ninja Blade. Think Devil May Cry but with a ninja. Awesome.
Oh and RE5 this Friday. I'll try to get mine at Toys R Us. You'll get a $20 gift card along with it only this Fri and Sat.
-
I got mine (RE5) yesterday. Ionno why 2 days before release. And a t-shirt see here (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=866.msg553908#msg553908).
-
^Is the co-op mode playable only online, or can you play on one X-Box like Gears of War?
-
You can play on one 360 but screen estate is reduced by a lot. :(
-
^ That and system link. I never tried the warez version so I don't know if you can jump in and out of co-op games. I'll prolly try it out today. See if the AI takes over if you skip out of a co-op game.
-
I was surprised when I saw you playing it on Wed :o
Verdict so far? I think I will get it but not sure if I should maybe hold back and finish a few games first.
-
Ok i'm in the crew now :lol:
here is my (lame) ID : Yamasoawesome (thanks to my friend -_-)
add me ! i only have one month free lol but thinking of getting a year xbox live
-
Woooooooooooo! :twothumbs :theking :w00t:
T3's on the train!
-
FUCK YAR! FRENCHIE!! I'ma add you next time i get on.
Tuffty and everyone else who cares: The split-screen Co-op works great if you have a big screen like I do. Jumping out and in can't be done from what I noticed. Once your friend is in you gotta quit to go on with the AI or over live. It's still a great feature imo. Going through some pre played levels with whomever you want, getting some more of that precious ammo and stuff.
As for the game. I fucking love it. I love it so much I don't want finish it lol. Thus I've kinda played the first chapter over and over again, instead of progressing. I need to get going tho. I can just play it through again once I'm done.
-
@Sev
I had the same problem. Getting addicted to 1-1. I must've played it like 40 times or so already. :P
-
Yeh 1-1's great for that Civilian Checkpoint set piece alone. Currently on 3-2 at the minute and loving the game so far. Beautiful to look at, some really creepy enemies and haters be damned, the control system and Sheva's AI works just fine thank you very much. I'm playing it without co-op for my first run through, I know I'd rather take my time with the game first, walk rather than run and explore every little nook and cranny for any secrets whereas my co-op partners probably don't feel the same way. Only when I'm finished will I go back, play it with friends, higher difficulty settings, aim for S grades, upgrade weapons, get all medals/figures etc. And I know I'm gonna because RE5 seems perfectly suitable to just go back and play through again and again.
-
I just tried out the GH: Metallica demo. It was ok, I didn't like it that much. I was a bit disapointed because I felt like playing with the controller first, but it looks like that don't have that option anymore. :lol:

Xbox 360『電脳戦機バーチャロン ver.5.66』トレーラー (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmWXztfP74g#ws-lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
VIRTUAL ON on Xbox Live :D
This is one of the best Dreamcast games EVER so this is super super good news.
-
I can't believe I let RE5 sit unwrapped on my desk for a week. I always had my 360 hooked up to PC's 22" monitor, but I moved it out a few days ago since RE5 is MUCH better on a 37" lol. Especially with the split screen.
My friend and I just finished our first run and we're on 3-1. (3AM and I got work in the morning ;_;) Spent a lot of time on 1-1, not because it's SUPER fun, but because we were getting raped while trying to figure out the controls. :lol: Really loving the game right now. Gonna try to finish the game before my friend leaves at the end of the week. The one shot kills we had on us were hilarious. A lot of ".........LOL" reactions. Yay for Surprise!Cinematics. XD
-
930/1000 already on RE5. Now to beat the game on professional. 1 hit kills FTL.
Sev+others who like to replay levels, have you tried speed running them? Try getting under the elusive 12 min mark on chapter 1 on amateur. My best speed run so far is chapter 4 on veteran. Rank 200ish. Top 1% or so last I calculated though I know my friend and I can cut at least 30 sec off our time.
-
i'm back on live! (just for a month, for now)
Add me if you wanna fight on Street fighter 4! Mochizzle

Oh don't worry~ if you want to play something, just ask away, chances are I'll say yes :)

I just got my ass served by T in FIFA. 3 games of which he won 2. GJ T!

Splinter Cell Conviction, is anyone playing it ? ( It didn't feel like opening a new thread when it seem no many are playing it)
I'm playing it on PC but since its a big 360 release I though about posting here.
So far I'm really enjoying the game. It's much more fast paced than the previous ones and much more story driven, so I'm liking it more. The sad thing is that it feel like a watered down Batman Arkham Asylum, since in Batman both the action and stealth seems better to me.
Unlike the other SC games, this one doesn't allow you to save every 2 seconds, it uses checkpoints but it's also much easier, so it's not frustrating, actually it's a lot more fun.
But I'll share my quick story with it, my PC kept overheating playing this game today and since I can't SAVE, only checkpoint save, I had to run like a beast heheh.
But so far so good, the bad part comes next, I decided to clean my PC coolers and all (like I did many times before), but this time when removing it, the processor came together and at that exact moment I though: "Okay, it's fucked".
I kept cleaning it and hoping to have everything work out later. Long story short, I had to keep putting the processor in many times, while the PC made all sorts of sounds and was not booting up. All I could thing was how much a new processor should cost...
And then in my last try for the day, it worked ! Flawlessly !
Man, next computer I have I'd like nintendo to make it hehe, at least it wouldn't overheat like anything else these days.
Oh, and moving on, anybody interested inAlan Wake ? I saw the developer's walkthrough in gametrailers, and it looks really good!
-
I already went ahead and pre-order Alan Wake at Gamestop. The game play looks very interesting fighting with mostly light. The reviews are rolling in and giving the game a high score for the most part. I think they already announce two DLC for the game, first one coming out in June. The only thing I am worried about is the game being too short. I can't take another game being short (I'm looking at you Dante's Inferno).
-
Dumb question: when I delete a installed game from the 360's HD are the save games for that game gone too???
-
No, the game saves will still be there :)
-
Gah, I'm so mad right now, I have 4 days off work and wanted to play some and now my controller has died on me!
I have a cable controller (original 360 M$), it has been acting up lately, not functioning from time to time, but now it seems it officially gave up.
But what is strange is that now all 4 LED's of the controller ring are blinking, even when the console is turned off.
For the wireless controller it would mean to refresh batteries, but I couldn't find any info on what it means for a calbe controller.
Any ideas?
-
Sorry mate. I've searched all over for you but the consensus seems to be that you'll have to replace your controller. Before you do though, stick it into each of the USB slots (2 in front 1 in back) and see if it works. If not, then you'll have to get a new one.
Microsoft Support - Controller not working (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910636)
I know how annoying it is cause I had to get a new one too. Didn't have the same problem as you but it just reached a point where it wouldn't work at all. And having to buy a new wired one is tougher than expected because most shops I go into only sell wireless. But I don't wireless, it costs more, have to recharge batteries and the space between me and my 360 is only a few feet.
-
Thanks Tuffty!
I didn't know there's another USB port on the back, I only tested the front two, I'll try that tomorrow though. Too lazy now.
I'm like you, I don't like wireless controllers for all the recharching and I have this strange idea that electronic stuff only is save when it's connected by cables, the only things at my home allowed to work wireless are the tv remote and cellphone ;-)
Luckily I found the wireless controller that originally came with the console and it even had charged batteries in it (thought I'd removed them, cause I haven't used it for ages)

Summer of Arcade dated
Microsoft has dated this year's Xbox Live Summer of Arcade flock.
The first game to arrive will be Limbo on 21st July. This is the black and white, film noir-style "snooty platform puzzler" that Eurogamer tested back in March.
Rocket-powered speedboat game Hydro Thunder Hurricane will be second on 28th July. The obvious lures here are local races for four people and online tussles for eight.
Third will be Castlevania: Harmony of Despair on 4th August. Married here are classic 2D platforming with six-player online co-op. And if working together gets boring, you can murder each other to the death.
Penultimate arrival will be Monday Night Combat on 11th August. This game is what might happen should American Football no longer use a football, but guns, and no longer bother with rules. Cash rules, literally.
Co-operative action adventure Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light will round off the Summer of Arcade on 18th August.
Buy three or more of the Summer of Arcade games and Microsoft will refund 400 of your Microsoft Points.
Official Site (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/events/summerofarcade/default.htm)
Looking forward to Castlevania, and heard some good things about the Lara Croft game too so bring it on!

Kinect UK pricing confirmed - £129.99
Kinect will cost £129.99/€149.99, and come bundled with launch title Kinect Adventures, Microsoft has confirmed.
"We obviously don't make pricing decisions without doing our research," Xbox product director Aaron Greenberg told Eurogamer in an interview published elsewhere on the site.
"We've done a number of pricing studies on a global scale across a whole variety of audience segments. We've found that when we talked to consumers about the different types of experiences you get with Kinect, the sensor with the full game at £129.99 does quite well.
"There will be a whole new wave of consumers looking for all new ways to experience games and entertainment. To be able to do that with the console plus the sensor and the game at that value is pretty unprecedented."
Microsoft also revealed a new Xbox 360 4GB model, to be launched in the UK on 20th August, priced £149.99/€199.99.
The Xbox 360 4GB plus the Kinect sensor and Kinect Adventures will be available as a bundle for £249.99/€299.99 when Kinect launches in the UK this November.

Is there really anything on Kinect that will make it worth the purchase when its released? There is Child of Eden, but other than that?
It's too steep for what seems like something that's aimed purely at the casual market. Not one for me either as I haven't seen many proper games beyond the party/mini-game collection type coming out for Kinect and the price point now is too high to even satisfy my curiosity. Seems weird that they're selling party games for £49.99 when the Wii can do it for £19.99. They're overestimating on the casual market's acceptance heavily here, after all they're essentially marketing the same thing as the Wii only with shinier graphics.

Limbo | trailer E3 XBox 360 live (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD5F54SZkMA#ws)
So I guess people who followed E3 will know about this already, but I'm kind of slow and just found out about this the other day. It looks so good! :O The atmosphere of it seems really interesting. Those huge spider things seriously creep me out :nervous
It's released on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow~
-
I think MS is out of their mind to release Kinect at that price, I mean, just a little more and you can buy a Wii and even the PS3 Move is a lot cheaper.
About Limbo, it looks really good. I'm sad I don't have my 360 anymore. I'll just have to hope it comes to PC or PS3 one day.
-
I think it was originally announced for all 3 but it looks like it's MS published now so I doubt it will. At least for a while.
Limbo looks pretty awesome. Reminds me of some of the flash games like Coma (http://www.gameshot.org/?id=5039). But there's no way I'm buying it for 1200 points because I'm a cheap bastard like that. :P2
-
Remember, Braid was a 360 exclusive for a time until it got released to the PS3. Could be just a matter of waiting.
I would get it except I have many other games to tackle at the moment. And I'm not as intrigued enough to justify spending 1200 points on something widely regarded as a 6hr max game. Not that I think it's wrong, those 6hrs or so could be the best I have in a long time and the price would be justified, I'm just not so keen on the game itself.
-
I didn't know they canceled 1 vs 100 on XBL. I know my friends were looking forward to the comeback. :sweatdrop:

I thought 1 vs 100 was seasonal. Maybe season 3 coming soon?

Microsoft is preparing to launch a revision of the regular Xbox 360 controller featuring a new directional pad, according to a report.
Citing an unnamed source, Joystiq has said that the new d-pad will rise up about a quarter of an inch if you rotate it 90 degrees.
The raised d-pad could be aimed at fighting game fans, the blog speculated.
Oh please, if true, then I think the 360 controller would be my favourite ever.
And while it's nothing drastic, the subscription cost to Xbox Live is set to increase (http://www.giantbomb.com/news/microsoft-raising-xbox-live-subscription-cost/2496/) :thumbdown:

Is there any way to preview gamerpics before you buy a picture pack on XBL???
Like is there a internet site that shows what pictures are contained in each pack?
Or do I always have to buy in hopes that I will like what I will get? XD
-
mmm I don't know of one coachie D:
The only way I can ever tell is sometimes on the description the picture will be all 5 or so gamerpictures that you will get, but I don't know if every company does that, plus sometimes they don't look the same as the picture because they put a filter over the picture so they're all sepia tone or something, but the actual pics don't look like that.
This is why I'm happy when games give you them for free sometimes :lol:
-
^ Yeh some games show you what you're getting but most of them tend not to. It's annoying cause surely they could at least show a static screen of what you'd get and you'd base your decision off that. Especially for premium themes.
With gamerpics you should just see if they have a preview for it in the usual place. With themes, they actually do a showcase for them on Youtube, so you'd know what to expect. If there's one in particular you'd like I suggest typing something like 'Xbox theme *insert game name*:
Fallout 3 - Premium Theme (Xbox 360) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYQlZCaHg2Q#)
-
thanks guys, too bad then
the one time I bought gamerpics from Naughty Bear, thought I couldn't go wrong with that, but they have white background which looks just shitty imho, was pretty mad at myself for spending money on that :(
they could at least show one or two sample pix
-
I'm loving ESPN on my 360, since I don't have cable. Yeah, lots of white, and it seems that Live.FM lost it's unicode ability in the update!
-
A question for anyone else who has a silver/free XBL account: Is the the free Gold weekend working for anyone?
Its supposed to start today, Nov. 25th, at 9am PST.
I remembered about it, switched on my 360, and it doesn't seem to be giving me gold.
I've checked it out, and there's plenty of others it's not working for, either.

I'm gonna buy it just because of them :sweatdrop:
-
I bought a XBOX+Kinect, not so much because the Matsui's playing (although them having fun with it did help!) but I wanted to try the Kinect. :) :cow:
Its good there is no camera around (and I am not saving the ingame shots!) :rofl:
Its works good and as expected its a very natural interface. It also proved I am totally out-of-shape :grin:
Time to spend some more money on it...

Cool sounding feature for Kinect coming out called Avatar Kinect, kind of like a virtual chatroom using your avatars and of course, with it being Kinect, any body movement you make is reflected on screen.
Avatar Kinect - First Trailer! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb4bzomm9iU#ws)
Guarantee most online sessions do not play out like seen above though. There's gonna be a shit load of masturbation gestures, doggy style positions and other simulated sex acts. It will be sheer filth XD
-
There's a cool site I found, TrueAchievements.com (http://www.trueachievements.com/) Essentially they give scores to what they think achievements should have based on their difficulty and number of people who've earned it. Add in your gamertag and it creates a new gamerscore for you, just for kicks. It's a neat little site where you can compare your score with others. It also contains a ridiculous number of stats about you, your friends, other players and on 360 games in general.

I'm new to Xbox 360 and Live memberships.
Unlike PSN, Xbox Live memberships/accounts cost money. With PSN, they also allowed Master accounts with sub-accounts for household/family. Sub-accounts are usually for those under-18 years old, parental control,etc.
Do Xbox live allow that sort of thing? I just don't want to be paying for 2-3 accounts, who are all under the same household. One membership is enough, yet we want to be able to play online with separate accounts.
-
Closest I can think of is that they have an XBox Live Gold Family pack. It allows 4 accounts on one 360 to have gold access for the price of two single gold subscriptions. Here's more info if you need it:

Ok I really don't know what to do about this, maybe someone can help me on this. I've always seemed to have an issue with headsets, friends and randomers complain about echo or noises and it seems to come from me (in party chat and even in game, my mic always seems to be switched on even when I switch on mute). It's a Microsoft official wired one, tried out on two official wired controllers that I have owned I bought since I got my 360. The same has happened with another headset, GAME's own, that I bought before. By force of habit, (namely my nephew snapping my old one yesterday :doh:) I bought GAME's own wired headphones again and my friends are still complaining.
So..what the fuck? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some button or setting somewhere that helps me out?
-
do you have a kinect plugged in?
you can always spot someone who has kinect when the game's audio is being replayed to you through their kinect microphone lol
-
No Kinect. I wouldn't have space in my room to play it with anyway :lol: Besides, whisper it quietly the Kinect is pretty rubbish right now
I've had these problems before the Kinect was released.
-

Broken wire?
I am now using a wired Triton AX720 (with surround sound decoder), I tried a Steelseries 7XB (wireless) but it kept having interference with the wireless and eating batteries like there is no tomorrow.
The Kinect is fun when the game uses it correctly. And it should be somewhat more logical to do certain combined movements like crouching while aiming. Something I always have a problem with doing with buttons...

have you tried adjusting the volume? i've got a turtlebeach one and its got a separate volume for the mic...and i know sometimes other people's voices sound weird, like theres some sort of distortion or electronic processing on it if they've got their mic volume too loud

Happy Birthday X-Box

i haven't really played around with it very much, but at first glance i do like the new update for the xbox dashboard (now called xbox home) i think it looks pretty cool at least
-
Installed the new update yesterday, now everytime I turn on the console I think there's something wrong when I see the greyish background instead of green XD
Also the system seems to takes forever to shut down since the update

No problems updating here, and I also installed the companion app on my Nokia 800.
I think I'll try to use Kinect this weekend.

My 360's disc tray has been giving me problems. I usually have to pry it open. And because of this, I've removed the face plate for easier access. My 360 looks like a monster!
I've had this problem for over 2 years now, but it has become worse this year. There were two different occasions where I sent the 360 in for repair (but not for the tray problem). I could tell they worked on the tray a bit, but I guess they were never able to resolve the issue.

My Xbox 360 Red Ringed on me.
I proceeded to punch it, and weirdly enough, it is working now better than before.

i won a hyundai veloster tshirt for my avatar lol

I hate the red ring of death. Maybe I should also try punching it? :(

Anyone addicted to achievements like I am? It's consuming my life! I try to go for the majority of the games I own. Sometimes I buy games just for easy achievements. It's a sad addiction.
Look at my profile at this site: http://www.trueachievements.com/Airman+Rufio.htm (http://www.trueachievements.com/Airman+Rufio.htm)
I'm pretty mediocre compared to the rest of the achievement whore community.
-
I like achievements a lot. Not to the point of buying games with easy achievements but I will try to get all the ones I have for games that I own. I used to let it consume me though, like I would try to get them all in a single playthrough but I found that having to constantly check and re-check to see what achievements I could get was more of a detriment to my first experience of the game and I wasn't enjoying it. So any achievements I can get along the way first time round is great, I'll take them, but anything else I'll put off to one side and aim for it after completing the game once. If done right though achievements are great because they expose secrets in the game or encourage different playstyles to what you normally do.
-
I used to try to get achievements, but since I didn't play online I knew I could never get them all if a game had multiplayer. I would really try in single-player games since I actually had a chance. I tried with Bayonetta, L.A. Noire, Bloodrayne, and Shadow Complex, but eventually I lost interest in and just went back to playing the game. Sometimes I check to see what an achievement is when I earn one, but I don't scan the list to see what I need to do. I hate seeing the ones that just require you to complete the game on normal difficulty, or worse, just chapters of the game.
-
^ I particularly hate ones that have achievements like 'Complete the game on Easy' 'Complete the game on Normal', 'Complete the game on Hard' but even if you beat the game at the highest difficulty, it doesn't register that so you have to play the game on Easy or Normal to get those specific achievements. They should stack so if you beat it on Hard, you get the achievements for beating it on Easy, Normal and Hard IMO.
-
^Yeah most games nowadays include stackable achievements. MOST (eff you LOTR: War in the North).
I totally agree. I ruined my Alan Wake experience on my first playthrough, going for all the manuscript pages constantly referring to a collectibles guide. It was very tedious. At the end of it all, I love the game, but i felt I would've liked it more without the pressure of getting cheevos.
-
God Damn 100k!? That's like unimaginable for me. I'm not even sure how many I have tbh. I think I'm well under 10k in the 5 years I've had a 360. :sweatdrop:
I think the only time I remember looking at my achievements trying to get them was way back for the first Mass Effect which was like the third game I got for it.
-
Not really going for all achievements (to much of a casual player for that), but I sometimes do look at them because in one instance it turned out I had somehow done one part only on 'easy' so the 'all campains completed on normal or harder' was not awarded, meaning I could not get a different one that required that. The game (Halo Reach) rewards no achievements on easy, it explicitly says that in the intro when you choose it, so no problem with that.
Meant I had to redo one campain and then was rewarded the missing achievements.
I do like to do all main story line achievements, but I am not fanatical about finding all hidden within that.
-
downloaded the crackle app (they have quite a bit of anime - i guess they hooked up with animax) and sync'ed up the 'box with my windows media center computer - fuck yeah :thumbup
