I-n-j-i-n Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 The only bad thing about the game is that it seems to have regressed a bit as far as the comedy goes (what happened to the constant laughs from San Andreas?) and the gameplay is still a tad bit inferior to Saints Row's. The multiplayer is fun as long as people know what the hell they're doing, which they don't most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 This game has some really good music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 yeah, there's a huge library of varied music. i was listening to the public radio station, and i definitely heard a track from my favorite soundtrack of all time, philip glass's 'koyanisquatsi'. not exactly generalized listening music =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgx Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Just got GTA last night. Good stuff so far. However I hate the blur/out of focus filters modern games employ and GTA has a lot of it. Blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 it's annoying but more realistic IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgx Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I got COD4 off amazon shipped for $35 the other day. The Darkness came free with Bioshock for $50 back in November on Amazon I think. And I recently found Guitar Hero III with Wireless guitar for $50 shipped. And I got a free $10 gift card with GTA4 at Circuit City. Oh, and Assassin's Creed for $40 a month after it came out. www.cheapassgamer.com !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophetik music Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 i just buy a lot of games when they come out. assassin's creed (with the tin and everything), after buying, playing, and selling it back, cost me a total of eight dollars. bioshock: seven. gtaiv: i actually earned three dollars because of rebates and credit from aforementioned used games. h3 cost me eleven dollars for the pack with the nice tin.

Lyrai Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 So, with the Stimulus check, I picked up a 360 Pro. Grabbed Crackdown, DMC4, and Project Sylpheed with it. Sylpheed was traded in for Senko no Ronde. I was very amazed at how smooth it was to stream stuff from my computer to the 360, but one thing bothers me. I'm trying to stream Whose Line episodes to it..and over 3/4ths of them stutter like mad, making them unwatchable. The audio is fine, it's just the video. What the hell's going on?

Brushfire Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Could be a janky video file that is messing up. Didja download them in a torrent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 what types of video will play on the 360? i've got a bunch of stuff in matroska format (.mkv) and i'd like to be able to stream it...would i have to convert it to .avi or .wmv or something? how would i go about doing that?

UnforgivingEdges Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Sylpheed was traded in for Senko no Ronde. What the fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrai Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 What the fuck I gave it a whirl and found that while I liked the combat, the roughly 70 million different controls you need to use to win made it somewhat unfun. And then about seventeen people told me that the Ace Combat series offered the same type of combat of Sylpheed, but better and less complicated. So I went and got rid of it. They had no copies of Ace Combat in, so I grabbed Senko no Ronde for $5 for some shootan fun. Could be a janky video file that is messing up. Didja download them in a torrent? Yes. Some of them work, but the vast majority of them don't. None of them have any problems running on my computer, so I'm almost positive it's something on the Xbox.

jayc4life Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 http://www.garagetv.be/video-galerij/9lives/Gears_of_War_2_Gameplaytrailer.aspx I just seen that video of Gears 2 and I've got to say, it looks really impressive. I haven't even got a 360, but knowing my experience when I was round at a friend of mine's: the campaign will probably suck and the online will be the main highlight. That is, until a new Halo or Call of Duty gets released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 would i have to convert it to .avi or .wmv or something? how would i go about doing that? Yeah you have to use avi and wmv. If it plays naturally in Media Player 11 than it should work fine when you stream it to your Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I haven't even got a 360, but knowing my experience when I was round at a friend of mine's: the campaign will probably suck and the online will be the main highlight. That is, until a new Halo or Call of Duty gets released. My experience with Gears of War was actually the opposite. I did splitscreen co-op with a friend (multiple times) and it was a blast, but we both felt it didn't really translate well to online multiplayer. But yeah, definitely looking forward to Gears 2.

Hell, I know a few people who just buy a big name game once a month and stay on gold via the trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
