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

Aw, kinda bummed that all the reviews for Ducktales Remastered are more or less universally negative

just finished brothers. it's beautiful, it has a few touching moments. save your first (and only) playthrough for a co-op experience with your significant other or friend. it's not challenging, whatsoever, but there are moments that would probably be more enjoyable with a companion. takes about 4 hours to complete.

What a mess xbox live/microsoft account management is.

Trying to log into my profile on 360, not having it. Tried resetting password. failure. Tried creating a new profile - email already exists. Tried contacting them, tells me to put in TWO different email address ?!!?!

fuck them. I've had it with their shit.

Heard good things about an XBLIG title called One Finger Death Punch. It's actually a pretty good game with a fun two button, no-stick mechanic, but as soon as I started hearing some jackass sacking "ROUND-UH ONE" in a bad accent it was like god fuckin' damn it

I remember in some thread posting a while back that I didn't "get" Rayman: Origins when I first played it a year ago or so. Tried it again tonight on a whim - pulled a total 180 on this one. It's really not a game that you should first play in frantic multiplayer, but one you should play by yourself, at your own pace, with headphones and close to the TV if possible, to drink it all in. The music, animation, and design is just wonderful.

crazy sale on at the moment. just bought Arkham City for under £4. Also bought Tony Hawk PSHD because I never got Skate and was feeling nostalgic, but have since remembered that it got pasted in the reviews.

can't go wrong w/AC

better to get the GOTY ed or just snag the $5 one?

probably not. the Harley Quinn episode is a dud, but if you like the Challenge maps and skins (many of which admittedly are pretty cool) they're worth a few extra bucks IMO

ok then I'll just get the fiver then

still haven't played the first one (which I've had on disk for like three years now) so this is really just me indulging the hoarding that seems endemic to being a gamer today

*shameful high-five*

Tony Hawks PS HD is actually fine, though I have a high threshold for crappy games

I'm trying to play the free copy of Halo 4 that came with my system but it is so fucking boring.

the first halo was fucking boring! never understand that series

i keep meaning to use this thread to document ridiculous-ass gamertags but i always forget in the heat of the moment

Saw a guy named BilboSwaggins69 recently

i swear somewhere cozen posted he came across a xSUSANxBOYLEx or some shit

besides the great weeded tough guy ones my absolute favorite are the pathetic fanboy 'DarkAssassinDeathLordBladeVampire' ones. always make me smile

I like the obviously auto-generated ones. Mine was TallowyRelic6 for a while.

Ice Solid Nips

just got an Xbox One and started using Live. I get a little weirded out when some of the younger players have convos with people in the background that unwittingly let me know way more about their lives than I ever wanted to. this one kid this morning was playing me on Madden and his grandpa and friends and family were watching and all I could do is feel self-conscious as to how many people were watching me lose.

hah!

I usually play without sound so I can listen to music, but whenever I find myself listening to some Cartman-esque kid getting into it with his mom it really makes me question some of the choices in my life.

children are the worst, end of discussion

I was playing some Russian guy at FIFA today and was 4-0 up at half time when I heard a kid who must have been about six or seven say "dad, why are you losing?". I felt so bad I let him score two in the second half.

this dude in my squad in Battlefield 4 yesterday kept shouting "TOSHIBA! FUCK YOU!" as he was firing at people as if he was dominating the fuck out of the competition and then we get to the results and he killed like 4 people and died 9 times I'm like d00d stfu.

Civilization Revolution is free on xbla gold right naw

noice!

so is the Kinect worth hooking up? I haven't used mine yet

xDevilMayFartx

in a lobby with both "shadow ninja905" and "darkblade1454". so good.

im pregnant yay

glad nobody on Titanfall has been clowning my ass. getting better but I still hella suck. these games move so damn FAST.

q bobsaget p

finally got 'good' at Titanfall and managed to score back to back MVPs in my team's victory. was tempted to shriek in ecstacy into my earpiece when I forced myself to remember that I'm 33 years old and playing against kids who probably weren't alive when the Sonic the Hedgehog SEQUEL came out

ie, Kramer in karate class champion etc etc

xbox live password screen would accept a line of blanks as the correct password

real hard to take intimidation seriously from user named "BradleyPooper69"

ugh this dude took a piss w/ his headset on :/

seems to have thought it was 'hilarious'

OMG Dead Rising, the original
this fucking game
like, just incredible. so awfully bad in so many deliberate and terrible ways, so wonderfully nuts and delightful in others
i'm just in amazement here
(p.s. so hilarious that they followup the fake bitter hopeless ending with A SECOND HOPELESS ENDING, followed by Frank West's fate vaguely described on a text card)
(that's after the game turns into in MMO for like 4 hours)
(there's just.. so much. SO MUCH)

hey was it on this thread that someone recommended toy soldiers: cold war? because i got it (perhaps it was free with gold, i don't remember) and finally got around to playing it the other day, and it's so much more fun than the original, a really great game.

That looks brilliant!

saw this name: nascarmlp

playing this guy at FIFA 15 today at which I'm pretty good. dude is literally screaming at somebody before the match even starts, during the warmup portion. and just keeps yelling at various points throughout the game, every pass that gets intercepted gets met with a "FUCCCCKKKKK OMG!" on the headset, only for him to drop a smug "yeah THAT'S how you do it" when he scored the equalizer (finished tied 1-1).

in the last ten minutes he's yelling at someone in the background "don't you dare touch it" and then this high pitched voice yells "GO DADDY!" at the end.

here I thought I was playing against a 14 year old angry kid that looks like Donkeylips but actually am playing the world's angriest father.

not mutually exclusive imo

that was always the most depressing bit of headset chatter imo. i mean, dudes screaming racist or homophobic stuff at each other is endemic but tbh you do kind of get numb to it. but hearing people's family business or hearing someone yell "shut the fuck up" to their crying child, god, the worst.

honestly i was surprised at the amount of antisemitic shit i heard, now that i think back. thanks, 4chan.

yeah, it's depressing. it takes so much effort and time to find decent people to play with unfortunately
