Own an Xbox 360?

[Digital Limit]

Just curious.

Oh yeah, post your GT if you do.

Obviously, mine is Digital Limit.

If I tried, I could probably find everyone else's, but I'm lazy.

:rolleyes:

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Nope. Not until I see anything worthwhile on it. And that doesn't seem like it'll be for quite some time.

[tisl]

Fuck that piece of crap, I'm a real gamer. I don't want to buy an HDTV just for prettier graphics. Wii for life!

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Wiiiii!

Just you wait, this thread will be Wii soon enough!

Let the "Revolution" (har har har) begin!

[Jwr5]

I will probably buy one after they lower the price.

[Yian]

I will go get one as soon as it start supporting keyboard and mouse.
)
BTW, I think I have mentioned that my sister is a total idiot when it comes to gaming (and pretty much everything else.) She once thought that I was the only "dumbass" that uses keyboard and mouse, because all she has seen were people playing console games with the controllers. I know I must have mentioned it a million times, but I want to mention it everytime I have a chance just to make her look bad. :D Kind of like gettiong back at her for calling me a "dumbass."

... ...

Well, if you think about it, I might really be stupid, because I don't know how to use a controller.

[Zolneirz]

I'm too poor.

[Digital Limit]

I'm too poor.

Who're you?

[Downfall]

appears to be a new person

[RAY16]

I'll get one after two things happen: a) I get a job, and b) They swith the CPU manufacturing process to 65nm.

[NiteX]

Once they start putting in the new CPUs and get some better games I might pick one up.

Whats with this quoting, are you guys that lazy? Plagiarising the opinions of others as your won? Jeeeez! At least put it in your own words.
From now on, anybody that quotes any of my posts without paying due credit(mentioning my name in the post quoted) will become my number 1 enemy.
And anybody who plagiarises me for the purpose of expressing an opinion like you guys seem to do, will die, a horrible death. (Yes, giant 12 inch dildos and your greased asshole will be involved in the deathsentence.) I will make you shove that dildo so far up your ass, you'll vomit shit and die from a bad taste in your mouth.

[Digital Limit]

Thanks for contributing to this thread.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Further evidence that Vlad doesn't nothing useful, save DNF lies.

[Digital Limit]

That made sense.

[tisl]

I tried Fight Night and Perfect Dark on my friend's 360. The console looks surprisingly good on my crappy TV, but that's it. There's too much focus on Live and Live isn't really that great. It seems like a rip off and there are too many "community" features. It doesn't offer anything to me as a gamer. After trying it I'm very sure that there's no way I'm going to actually pay for one. My main problem besides the suckyness of Live is the cost of games. Why is there a $10 price increase on most of them? The two I played are full of advertising anyway (Samsung logo in Perfect Dark? What the fuck?), so "increased production costs" is bullshit. They're asking for too much money with the extra content crap as well. Oh, and $100 for a 20gb hard drive? Go fuck yourself.

Live is sucky?

Live is the reason I own an Xbox 360. It is the defining feature.

May purchase when its cracked and shit.

Yeah, but you're a noob. "Ooo! I can download demos and look at stats!". You can do that for free on a PC.

[Digital Limit]

I'd convince you why it's the defining feature, but you're not worth my time.

[foshizzle]

As a matter of fact, my 360 died today...

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Might I ask how?

And is this common, rare, or 1-in-a-million?

[foshizzle]

It just freezes after about 1-2 Minutes.No red ring around the lights or anything. And its pretty rare, but not 1 in a million. Im have to pay 130 Dollars to get it fixed, because the warranty was only 90 Days long.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

MS' warranty is only 90 days? Well, that's another mark against it. Unless it has the option for extended warranties...

Seriously though, anything less than 3 months is bullshit for a 360.

[foshizzle]

Yep. It had been workin good for 6 Months Until Today, and then BAM! Its Broken...

[SuperDavidGT]

Yeah, but you're a noob. "Ooo! I can download demos and look at stats!". You can do that for free on a PC.

It just makes life easier if it's all amalgamated into one, easy to use system, rather than a million games with their own servers and different programs needed to chat, etc.

I thought that was the whole idea of consoles - all the hard and fiddly shit is done for you, so just have to pop a game in and play.

[tisl]

That's the benefit of consoles over PCs, yes. But I'm talking about Live. People pay subscriptions just so they can be allowed to play online. And it's not like you're given dedicated servers, you're playing on the other guy's connection! Besides that, all you're given is content downloads and some stat tracking. I called him a noob because he said "the reason I own an Xbox 360...the defining feature". Basically, you're paying a subscription to download files. In the end, I don't see the difference between Live and FilePlanet.

I might have missed some features, since my experience with Live is, admittedly, limited.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

It's been 6 months? Fuck, where have I been?

[Digital Limit]

Actually, Xbox Live uses dedicated servers.

Hence why you have to connect to Bungie and EA before you can play.

[SuperDavidGT]

People pay subscriptions just so they can be allowed to play online.

Good point. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if it balances against the need to constantly upgrade your computer. If a console generation lasts 4 years, and you pay, say US$200 every four years for a console (assuming your patient enough to wait till it's at a justifiable price) and $50 per year for online subscription, that equates to $100 a year (minus games). How much do you guys spend on average, per year, on your PCs (again, minus games)?

[Vlad]

I don't own an xbox360 but I have had the pleasure of it crashing on me on three consecutive occasions. Twice in the shops and once at my friends place. Thats three random xbox360's that decided to crap out on me after 3 minutes of play.

A few days later I learnt that there is an accessory designed to keep your xbox360 cool during 'intense gaming sessions'.

When I saw this I cracked up laughing and said to myself "Xbox360, sux balls. Yes, yes it does. It overheats and crashes..."

That's my story regarding the xbox360, hope youz enjoyed it.

Well games are definately cheaper for pc (they are free through bittorent, especially the shitty new releases that don't deserve to be bought), as for how much is spent on hardware, well my comp is not a gaming console, not only do I play games, but I do about 50 other things, that you can't do on your console.

Thus comparing a video gaming console and a pc is like comparing apples and oranges. The only thing you can really compare in terms of gaming is the games and their prices, and as for pc, as I said, games on pc are often much cheaper (the prices for pc games often fall very quickly) and pc's always get a steady stream of new games too.

PC gamers are very different animals, we work and we play, we don't just play. Consoles are for kiddies and for intense four player gaming sessions (think smash bros melee on gamecube-now theres a console that never overheats, we once played 9 hours non-stop) :)

[Digital Limit]

Ignorance is bliss, anyway.

[RAY16]

Makes me laugh when insecure PC "Gamers" feel the need to chime in with their nonsensical insecure rambling about how anybody that plays games on a console is a "kid". You don't enjoy the majority of games on consoles? Fine, you do that quitely by yourself. Don't try to compensate for your small penis by belittling others.

Real gamers don't discriminate, they play games because they love them regardless of platform.

Indeed. I was just probably over-generalizing a bit. I do enjoy MANY console games and play them regularly. However, in terms of gaming, pc's shouldn't always be compared side by side, they do much more than just games. Thus my earlier somewhat erronous kiddie statement, I didn't mean it that way, I just meant that guys that need their comps to do work will also mostly play games on their comps, whereas kids usually tend toward consoles because they are all about games and little about work.

[foshizzle]

Turns out I only have to pay $100 instead of the 140 Dollars after I talked to the Manager...Still sucks. Wish it was free since I payed $400 dollars for it in the first place.

[Phobo]

PS3 > xbox360

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

Ok so Xbox 360 mod is already out and pirated games are hitting the shelves here in Pakistan. Pretty fucking cool shit IMO. Now I only have to wait 2-3 years before I will purchase one.

I'm 100% positive I would have heard about this.

[WhoGivesARatsAss]

Well, its out in Pakistan, no jokes. Also no my 2 year salary is not equal to an Xbox 360, but that's the kind of interest I have in it right now. There is absolutely nothing compelling enough to warrant 500 bucks + another 50 for the mod and 12 buck pirated games.

[Digital Limit]

So, who am I missing that owns an Xbox 360?

I have the Russian and Halomizer...

Ah, Digital Pimp, foshizzle, and skruffy. What art thou GT's?

[Phobo]

you lose dl

[Digital Limit]

you lose dl

You're another awesome member. I appreciate you.

[Jwr5]

I just bought a 360. The controller and the interface are very nice. PGR3 is sweet!

[Digital Pimp]

CFStang is my GT. I've been playing WoW and Skies of Arcadia so haven't fired up the 360 since I moved back in with my parents for the school year.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

SoA FTW! How far are you? I'm stuck trying to kill "my evil twin" because the fucking game one-hit-kills me and I can't kill him before I can get enough SP.

Stupid fucking Japanese RPGs.

[RAY16]

SoA is awesome, I bought it for my Dreamcast when the game first came out. I hear the infuriatingly frequent random battles were toned down in the GC version, lucky for you guys.

[RADiator]

Ah, Digital Pimp, foshizzle, and skruffy. What art thou GT's?"The russian" thats a pretty damn loose assosiation. XD

As of the topic, yeah I suppose it's a given.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Eh... No, the random battles were still infuriating. I wouldn't mind if they were fights but as is it's just, "How fast can I press 'A' until I win?"

Has it frozen on you yet? It should eventually. Give it time.

[Jwr5]

Not yet, but if I have any problems MS will send me a new one. 2 year complete warranty FTW. Plus my xbox is the newest revision and much more stable than the launch version. Why do you have such a dim view on the 360?

[Digital Limit]

Has it frozen on you yet? It should eventually. Give it time.

Mine hasn't frozen on me either. Launch 360. Eat it, cockdemon.

[xenophage]

w0000t... Just got one at work. Got only two games with it though; PDZ and DOA4. Downloading Dead Rising and Revenge. Any one tried Sain't Row or Lost Planet?

[Digital Limit]

Saints Row is terrible.

Lost Planet is amazing.

'nuff said

[xenophage]

How's Dead Rising?

Full Auto wasn't bad

[Digital Limit]

I haven't played it yet, as you can tell by my Gamercard :)

[xenophage]

Geometry Wars is fun. Is GRAW for the 360 worth trying out cos the PC version sucked

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Dead Rising looks pointless. Will someone please explain how the narrative works, the story is, how it plays, and why someone would will themselves into a fucking coma?

[Jwr5]

I liked the 360 version. The command system is much simpler and I like the 3rd person view.

[Digital Limit]

Yeah, the 360 version is actually really solid.

I'm contemplating buying it, as I have $10 in Gamefly cash laying around, begging me to use it.

Not to mention I just enjoy playing that game; the singleplayer kicks ass.

[tisl]

I love how people spend a fuckload of cash on an HDTV and an expensive console to play something called Geometry Wars, a $5 game with vector graphics.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Read the review of Dead Rising in EGM. They game it ~7.0 but reading their review made it sound like it should have been 5.0 or such.

Weird. I thought they weren't on anyone's payroll.

[Digital Limit]

Why are you such a douchebag? Who ever gives EGM the time of day?

Gamerankings is where you should be looking.

85% on average. Kthnx.

[Digital Pimp]

I'm playing DR right now, quite fun just mowing through mobs of zombies. Hopefully when they patch the game they will make the text sizeable and also give a few gameplay tweaks here and there where it really needs it, like a lock on system for the third person shooting.

[xenophage]

OMFG!! Lost Planet owns, only the control seems a bit loose

[Killer Klown]

Dead Rising is alot of fun, and it does a few things very well - firstly, I like the camera mechanic, how you gain bonus prestige points for good shots. I like how the plot is laid out - that there's no guarantee that you will find out everything there is to find out. The plot literally unfolds as you complete the right quests. I like how it actually captures the feel of a Romero zombie flick - how everything is useable as a weapon, to different effects. I remember one bit where I picked up a box of sodas and was chucking them, one at a time, until I ran out.

On the down side, the graphics really aren't much to speak of compared to other titles on the 360. The facial animations just seem wrong - and the general animation, even for the living characters, is pretty zombie like. Also, I really don't like games with time limits. I understand why and how they wove it into the plot - but really, if I wanted to stick to a schedule, I'd go to work.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

That's something I've heard a lot. If you miss a story event (a certain place in the certain 72 hour time limit) you fuck yourself right up the ass.

[Killer Klown]

Pretty much. The game _does_ give you the option to save the status of your character <level, stats, et cetera> and start over from the beginning with it - makes the fights easier, but it's still repetitive.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Fun. I might actually try it if I had a 360 but, you know, Wii has my heart.

[xenophage]

Any one faced any problem with the Dead Rising demo cos it shows that the download's complete but doesn't show up in my demos
