What Game(s) are you currently playing?

Not liking the Multiplayer? first thing i want to get into once my 360 arrives. whats wrong with it? Lag? the modes?

Full public room one 100% lag free, its just the gameplay itself.

You' ll find it next to impossible to get a kill with machine gun fire or missles. Only sure fire way to get a kill period is to use tracking missles and that itslef is only a 50/50 chance of success. On top of that not every aircraft has a secondary tracking missle so you' re even more limited. The chases are not chase but more of a test of patience to see who' ll veer off the constant U-turns you' ll be stuck in first. Evading tracking missles is easy. Just wait for the alarms to hit peak and do a high-g turn. Other missle types probably will only accidently hit you same with machine gun fire.

The gameplay got worse once I found a lame way to win each and eveyr bout. Its simple at the start of each round fire off you main missle in any direction, by the time those get a goo distance you swap to you tracking missles and the second they lock on fire in a steady paced way and you' ll be gaurenteed a hit and kill in seconds. When you start to get too close to the fight where its just constant chase U turns immediatly nose dive and kill yourself ( you wont get penalized) this will restart your position further away giving you a veiw of everyone in the distance for easy tracking missle kills. Rince repeat.

While everyone is in the Uturn extravaganza you' re off racking up the kills with ease.

As for the game types and what not there really isnt much. You got 6 maps for team battle and battle royale. 2 co-op, a few seige types. and some minor other things. Tho shost selects the settings before the room opens and sends out invites or waits for people to join. 2 massive problems tho. One no one, public or friend, can join once a match has started. There is no spectating at all or no lobby to wait in during a match. Two to change the settings you have to end the game session and restart the room.

So all that together leaves a very unsatifying multiplayer experience. Very very unsatisfyung...

Oh man, that does sound bad, seems like serious lack of playtesting on Namco' s behalf. shame they never had players like yourself the test that mode properly before it shipped.

Still, at least the 1p mode is good.

Couple of my friends enjoy it, while the majority think " meh its ooook..."

Thanks for the analysis there, Mass X. Looks like I' ll still be playing Crimson Skies for my dogfighting fix!

Right now I am playing Flatout Ultimate Carnage. Great game, fun. It is always entertaining to bowl with a human body.

Virtua Fighter 5 demo that was released. Good ole Sarah.

Games are your best friend as long as you don' t start talking to them.

I beat Metriod Prime 3 Within the first week or 2 on Vet I didn' t try the normal

I was really Playing Shining The Holy Ark (Just beat it Wednesday)
Space Hulk
Star Fighter
Guardian Heroes (pretty hard on normal one player 09 continues in Arena)
{Guess I need to pick Nicole instead of Ginjurou }
All since Wednesday

Warhawk Not mine can' t just play anytime( the exception)

Guardian Heroes (pretty hard on normal one player 09 continues in Arena)
{Guess I need to pick Nicole instead of Ginjurou }

Guardian Heroes has become far too easy for me. I' ve researched exactly which moves and magic attacks gives you the most experience points and I' ve discovered ways to combine the two to get the optimal Exp point increase.
I' ve also found out ways to take on some enemies one at a time and keep juggling them in the air to get practically unlimited experience points.
If I use the Undead Hero things get even easier.
*Sigh* they need to make a sequel now damnit!

Play a decent session on a 360 and it' s lastest games. One of them being (of course) VF5...

Very nice, Nicer looking than the PS3 version, better textures and AA, refined 1player build mode, better all round AI and being Ver C, some minor subtle fixes with some frame-hit ratio' s.

Not too happy with the 360 verson Orange box.. 30fps?? Why Valve? Hl2 engine is a light weight engine, surely they could of made Hl2, eps1&2 60fps? or am i asking too much? My old, old Pc via p4 2.4ghz, radeon 9800 ran HL2 miles better.. Portal dosent matter too much though.. it' s excellent in any form. (have not D/l the PC yet).


BTW, I rate 360 VF5 as the best, overall looking game on 360 (and PS3) so far..

Crysis demo.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Call from a freind...looks like i' ll be playing Zak & wiki 2morow ..

From her impressions (one of the few girl gamers who knows her stuff) The game sounds taxing and an extremely unique experience.

Of course its unique, no one ever thought of flailing your arms like an idiot in a game aimed at 10 year olds before

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure is a dumb name, plain and simple, but don' t let that (or the game' s seemingly " too kiddie" exterior) deter you from picking it up because this is one of Wii' s very best offerings. Not only is it beautiful, taking visual cues from Wind Waker, but it' s really clever and equally rewarding. When you solve one of the game' s booby-trapped levels, you will absolutely feel like you' ve accomplished a genuine feat. The puzzles will work your brain over in some cases. Bearing that in mind, Z-Dub would appear to be exactly the opposite of what its name and art style suggest – this is a game for adults and not so much kids.

Hmmm really now for 10 year olds.

Well then I' m rather a 10 year old who swings his arms around than idiot 10000 on xbox live or whatever.

Well if solving well designed puzzles isn' t your thing or you just simply can' t handle them fine by me.

Just keep idiotic comments for yourself. People who can' t appreciate things like this from time to time shouldn' t talk to much about gaming. Narrow minded people are just plain annoying.

But hey, go ahead keep goin, not my fault you' ll be missing out on a great game.

Who the *** are you demonroth? Youre not relevant to any discussion anyone has ever had on this forum. Youre a faggot, much like VF. Im giving VF shit, if youre too stupid to realize that maybe you should keep to yourself.

Well then I' m rather a 10 year old who swings his arms around than idiot 10000 on xbox live or whatever.

And to clarify, until Mario Galaxy comes out, the wii is a peice of garbage. Mine is in my little brothers room, he enjoys wii sports, but then again he also enjoys the disney channel. And yes, I think Id rather be " idiot 10000 on xbl" , you know, the enjoyable online service, than stuck on a console without one.

Im tired of fanboys throwing a bitch fit about facts. I like how if you have anything negative to say about the wii you must be an xbox fanboy. Take a look around, People with 360s, PS3s, and PCs are playing games, people with Wiis are still saying " we' ll have good games soon" .

Well if solving well designed puzzles isn' t your thing or you just simply can' t handle them fine by me.

Yes, I mean, I loved portal, Im sure I could never handle a game intended for 10 year olds. Face the facts, when a publisher puts a game on the Wii, theyre aiming it at grandparents or little kids. Like it or not, thats the image that nintendo has chosen for themselves, and thats the image people get when you talk about the Wii demographic.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Wow, you must really be gamer4eva, just quote the other people who love childrens games.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Until recently when my free month XBox Live ended Halo 3 and CoD4 beta.

Then Bioshock, ' cuz I' m slow and didn' t have strong enough PC so played it with my friend on 360.

After which I bought Orange Box and am still playing.

Then downloaded the Crysis Demo, which I finished.

So to sum it up:

Orange Box, is what I am currently playing.

Immortal, seriously...
You must think everyone in this forum was born yesterday, your creations to create tension will not work, because no one cares.. this will never be a 360 defense-force forum, so live with it. Either post to the thread or not atall. Please..

Back to topic..

Today i played Zak & wiki for about an hour and walked away really happy with it.

The first few puzzles are standard Wiimote affairs but then it uses it features in the most unlikely fashion. Extremely clever Puzzles later on really tax your brain. This game is definitely one for adults with more than just common sense but a creative mind too.

Only got to the 5th Puzzle and was well and truly Stuck.. Jaimie was trying not to laugh while i had no idea what to do.. lol (she knew what to do as she' s on the 11th Puzzle).

I' m not going into any detail of the puzzles as it' s something players need to experience.

Portal is clever, Zak & wiki is genius. A Must have for all Wii owners.

Capcom have done well! Cannot wait for the UK release

Then Bioshock, ' cuz I' m slow and didn' t have strong enough PC so played it with my friend on 360.

I played abit of Bioshock yesterday, not sure about this game TBH, will try and finish it though.

I never defended anything to do with MS or 360. You, Demon, Gamer and Terrak are turning the boards into a big pool of AIDs and faggotry with your constant 360 bashing, but if anyone says anything about the Wii you start screaming xbox defense force. Defense from what? A childish console that will never be taken seriously by developers? And where do you get off telling someone to post on topic? Every thread you post in you slip some insult at the 360. Youre a fanboy, everyone except for the aforementioned people know it, and other than those 3 20 year old children no one takes you seriously.

I played abit of Bioshock yesterday, not sure about this game TBH, will try and finish it though.

And yet just a few weeks ago you were calling it overrated and claimed to have beaten it. You really need to get your lies straight. BTW, how is the " hardcore" Virtua Fighter tournament where Im sure you claim 1,000 people were playing Wii sports going? Oh wait, you didnt go to one, you lied, like most of the other bullshit you say. Face it, youre a fanboy, a compulsive liar, and, in the words of Nitro, a muppet. And seriously, quit posting under multiple names, everyone knows youre gamer4eva.

Im tired of your constant garbage, you buy into every bit of Wii/PC hype then if anyone says anything positive about a 360 game you always reply " it doesnt look that good" or " its average" . Just face it, all your posts are contradictory and you lie repeatedly. You' ll never be taken seriously, you lie about " all your friends" who went to PC or Wii gaming because they were dissatisfied with their 360s. Thats a joke. Youre a joke.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Immortal.

- You never have anything constructive to say other than want to argue.. Gamer4ever? keep your creations out of it mate, your making a mock out of the genuine posters on here. If you have a problem with people having different opinions than you, then don' t post on forums. If you have a problem with me not being the biggest 360 fan, Grow the *** up.

Reported to Adam and Ignored. (please, don' t even bother try to hit back with more mind games, im not playing and won' t be reading or responding ). thank you.

You know. I thought it was excellent too but i think the formula is a tad dated now.

I did not like Wind waker, i thought Link looked too camp and put me off. Then again, back then i was too into my xbox to care but after Playing DS: HH i want to give Wind Waker a Try .

Just recently got Pac Man: Championship Edition, and have just played a few games of it. It seems strategically very deep and satisfying, definitely has an addictive quality in going for the high score. Supersolid old school gaming at its best!

Prime pinball arrived today old but a pretty sweet game id recommend it to anyone whos looking for a good ds game they might have missed.

Super mario bros 3. Downloaded the other day first time i played it its a really good game but very frustrating how different the controls feel from 1 :\ its feels less responsive.

You should have bought the 360 version.

I started the PS3 version proper last night and it' s worse than any review has made out. The framerate is disgusting, the tearing is as bad, if not worse then the 360' s is in the first villiage, yet PS3 suffers everywhere, and the texture quality is noticably worse.

Until the game is released on PC the 360 version is king.

It' s a really good game too. Not amazing like Gears/Mass Effect/CoD4 etc... but it' s as good as games like Lost Planet, Dead Rising and Crackdown. Definitely worth having.

Right now i' m playing:

Assassins Creed
CoD4 online (and trying to beat Epilogue on Veteran)
Ratchet & Clank

I' ve been trying to find a Wii for a fortnight and have failed miserably. I really want Galaxy now it' s out and regret not getting the console sooner...

Not that i' m sure i have time for it. Aside from CoD4 - Mass Effect is the most important release for me this year. It has the potential to be my favourite game eva!!! So it better not great my console!!!

Call of duty 4
Stranglehold
Mass effect
eternal sonata


Games pending:

Assassin' s creed
Paper Mario
Metroid corruption
Timeshift

Listen to the wise

I played the demo of timeshift :\ That demo showed me nothing i liked, It was horrible :\

Your opinion is invalid after the Mass Effect thread. The MP was interesting, the single player was mediocre.

Will be playing Mario Galaxy very soon.

Well since I work again I don' t seem to have a lot of time to play games so all I hate time for right now are Super Mario Galaxy and Aetolia.

Might do some Battlefield in the weekend when I feel like it.
