Oh well, it's going to take well over an hour and a half to update this damn game. Maybe I'll just leave it on and go to bed.

 

[Rage187]

I hit 1,180,000 in Geometry Wars Evolved yesterday.

I have a Strategy and my usual game is 800k.

Damn this FFXI beta takes FOREVER to get up and running. My Logitech USB keyboard didn't work with my 360 either, which added to the overall time with the registration process. I'm updating the game now so hopefully I'll get to try the game out in the next half hour or so.

Yea, it does take forever. Got my warrior up to lv 16 now. Game is ok so far but will keep me busy till the next batch of games.

Also rumor control has it we may be seeing a Demo of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter possibly around 2/10.

If Blu-ray turns out to be the VHS of today's media war, I have no doubt MS will change their mind.

Yeah, I imagine this backtrack is a result of MS's HD-DVD partners getting upset over Moore's comment.

Do you think this is this worth the cost of the OXM magazine to try out?

"theataris420" is my GT if your looking for someone to play Quake or PDZ with. Also, should be stickied in the games forum atleast.

Actually not sure if the Demo will be on the OXM disc or over live, but the 25 subscription cost for a year with the magazine and demos is well worth imho. The 2 bucks or so a month is worth it.

I think he's asking if FFXI is worth the price of the magazine.

FFXI is fun but you NEED a USB keyboard. It is not very MMO newb friendly as WOW is.

One of the issues I am having with this game is that while I'm really trying to get into this game it is frustrating going from controller to keyboard and back. While I plan on continuing to play untill the next batch of games to be released I'm not sure I could play much more after that. The game is fun and interesting but the lack of voice options is killer atm. I find myself partying quite less then I would normally for any MMORPG (and I have played quite a few in my day) and I know eventually I will be dependent on parties. I hope MS can and will make a party chat option that would allow for better overall gameplay.

Agreed. I ususally just private chat with one member of the party, but thats not good enough.

Hmmm. I wonder if a wireless USB keyboard will work with the 360. I've got my 360 situated in a spot in my entertainment center (in a bay above the TV) where having anything wired would just be a giant PITA.

I want to give this game a try just to see what it is like but don't want it to be a PITA to do so.

 

[TheShiz]

i've heard wireless keyboards work, i would try a fairly recent logitech or microsoft one though to be safe.

Well, I have the Logitech G15 USB keyboard and the 360 doesn't recognize it. Maybe it has to be a standard USB keyboard though.

From Major Nelson's Blog

There is a new video up on the Xbox Live Marketplace for you to download. Available in 480p and 720p, the ?MCE Networking Video? shows you why you need a wired connection or a 802.11a network to make your Media Center Extender experience stutter free.

Yep, having a 802.11a network would be nice if someone bothered to sell the 802.11a routers cheap. They are twice the cost or more than 802.11g routers.

 

[UpgradeFailure]

Finally got to play the Fight Night demo and it's awesome. Totally picking that game up next month. Just curious, is it just me, or is there no force-feedback in the demo? It would really add to the feel so I can't wait to try the final build with it

 

[jlmadyson]

Man just picked up Gun. Pretty good game thus far not sure why I didn't pick it up earlier. Also on an earlier question I do use a wireless usb keyboard for FFXI but not sure if they all work.

Yeah, Gun's not a bad game at all. Some of the best voice acting I've heard in a game.

But the graphics are pretty bad. Looks just like an Xbox game (only upconverted to 720p).

lol so true. I do like the game though. I was playing it tonight (atleast trying to after all the alcohol I've had!) and it's still a blast to play.

Yeah..I was the one that sent you the "preds own u!" message

Yea the graphics are pretty sad especially compared to some of the other release games but good gameplay overall.

Sticky again. Up then down.. up then down.

Okay so you put an e where none was needed and you missed the apostrophe but at least you didn't say "could care less", so I guess that's at least a good thing.

 

[LiquidImpulse]

better graphics doesnt mean more fun, its the exact same thing but with added sprinkles on top. It's the actual GAMEPLAY that counts. I'm too used to seeing the same old analog controllers with the dualshock bazzilion incorporated into it or those huge @ss microsoft controllers. If theres a company that can stand out of the likes of Microsoft and Sony, I'd be on that wagon in no time
