The official I Love Games XBOX 360 and XBOX LIVE thread!

i was definitely not blown away but you still kind of want to see how big the little guy gets

just switched on my 360 to get the disc out, had already taken off the hd and the memory card......bloody thing worked, no more rrod! What do I do?

When mine went, it would start up 5 minutes later after cooldown without rrod. Then five minutes later, rrod again. I repeated this three or four times, and sent it in. I gather from the status updates MSFT provided on the repair that it was indeed rrod.

xp same thing happened to me once, I just turned it off and in a few minutes it worked again. took about a year before I got rrod again, and then it was the real deal

ok, so the H-A-W-X tom clancy flight game demo seems pretty good. between that and the "afro samurai" demo not sucking (see specific thread) i was starting to doubt my sanity. fotunately, i finally downloaded the legendary demo and it was every bit as bad as expected.

srsly tho, the hawx demo is kind of sweet.

did you like the weird camera, jjj? the 60fps ws nice but it grinds as soon as stuff gets busy

did you ever try ace combat 6?

anyone try the halo wars demo?

also FUCK the new 1200pts standard pricepoint imo

Ok, so I just "completed" Fallout 3 (the first 360 game I've completed), and taking a break from side-quests etc for a while I have achieved a ranking of "1st" in the championship thing of Project Gotham Racing 4. So, I need to decide what to hit next:

I'm at the start of Chapter 4 of both Gears of War and Gears of War II.
I also have the following unopened, untouched games:
Bioshock
GTA IV
Assassin's Creed

I've also done most of Braid. So, what do I do? Should I complete the ones I've already started, or start another new game? It's a quandary. I really should stop buying more games, but keep seeing them in sales (am yet to pay more than £17.99 for a game on the 360, which is good) and don't want to miss out.

Finish Braid. Pick up Bioshock. You'll be happy.

loved the "safety on" camera, looked really great. the safety off camera was odd, but actually started to make sense to me and kind of worked i guess. didn't get grindy for me. controls seemed workably simple, which surprised me because i figured mr clancy would put like pressure sensitive fuel line control on each trigger and independent button based aileron control and a bunch of other unplayable nonsense in there for the sake of bullshit realism instead of good old BRAKE GAS. seemed like a super arcadey anti-flight sim which was really refreshing and fun, like a great looking crimson skies reboot without all the stupid capture the flag shit.

should i give ace combat 6 a shot, given all this? kind of passed me by.

woah Ace Combat looks awesome! I cut my teeth on Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer on PC back in the day and haven't much touched flight sims since, not even Crimson Skies. But I have been looking for one, and the Eurogamer review of Ace Combat makes it sound fab.

The demo was horrible

yeah I should try this demo and the Tom Clancy one before buying. And I have too many things to play still, haven't even opened Fallout 3 yet.

Yeah I found Ace Combat kinda boring. Crimson Skies, on the other hand, is great.

I enjoyed the Halo Wars demo but I'm not a very sophisticated rts player, I just like to build base for hours and then airstrike the enemy to doom in a single attack

2 things:

1. The big capcom reveal of their new project would have worked better if the gameplay video didnt look like complete ass
2. Starting out the deal of the week thing with discounted Braid bodes well for the future.

this - http://www.snowblind.com/games.php?game=death_tank - is lots of fun

urgh i've either forgotten the email address associated with my gamertag, or microsoft have blitzed it ;_;

well, xbox phone support was kinda helpful, they wouldn't tell me what the address was but they helped jog my memory - '... any other names you might have used?' 'oooooh yeah...'

reg delmot is back!

now i've gotta play a couple of hours of dead space again to get those achievements.

i joined the rrod club this weekend!

my condolences.

So if I download SF2HD tonight, who is gonna play against me?

me

Hey Will, my rrod ....disappeared. It could happen to you maybe - since it came back, haven't had a single problem whereas before I was having controllers drop out etc.

i've had the rrod come and go before but this is th first time it won't disappear.

just got an xbox today....can't think of a username for live tho

maybe just stick with local garda. i was going to call myself "frseanfortune" but felt naming my tag after a convicted paedo might not be as funny after a few weeks, or if i was playing some childerz.

yeah my inability to come up with a clever live username is how i ended up as "nnnnnggggghhhhh", which ive really come to like over time.

i am LOCALGARDA on this btw...feel free to add ilxorz, I have Halo 3 and SFIV and am shit at both.

I have had an Xbox Live Gold 3 mth subscription card since last year which I cbf registering.

I've got SF2HD! Someone challenge me!

what's your id?

How do I invite a friend to a match? (My ID is Shinefield)

c'mon punk join my match, let's throwdown!

I keep trying, but it keeps telling me the session is full!

I think we have conflicting NATs : /

I can't connect to the party either. I have a moderate NAT cos I use my macbook as a wireless bridge. it's the best I can do. are you t0rr3nting? tht can affect connections

session is empty btw

the only other possible is rebooting yr router : /

sorry, a pain

I don't know... I'm hooked into my router through a cord. So I assume that should be fine? And not torrenting either. Invite me again?

Failz. Let me try to invite you?

sorry man, can't join either

we have incompatible NATs. short of port forwarding and all that nonsense dunno how we can play : /

i also just bought sf2hd; lemme know if anyone wants to play 2nit.

I WANT TO PLAY

I will play 2nite, with forkz or mordz.

mordy, can you go into network settings and check your NAT status? maybe you're on moderate too?

I will check later today!

oh man i am going to get one of these soon so i can pwn y'all at SFIV

did you dudes throw down?!

i did not.
maybe we should play? GF is watching ANTM

I suck so bad at SF2HD. I can't even beat the computer!

so kind of feel like this is impossible, but the demo for wheelman seems like the game will be really good?
