CC Ricers Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Civ 3 and Revolution, Age of Empires, Empire Earth, Rise of Nations, these are the kinds of RTS games I'd prefer to play. You were building a civilization rather than field bases. Too bad they never got the same appreciation as Blizzard RTSes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwaltzvald Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 ...Age of Empires...Too bad never got the same appreciation as Blizzard RTSes.... What are you talking about because Ages of Empires was awesome back then! I remember back in high school one of the comp labs there, all the computers there had a copy of AoE & AoEII and every day during lunch it would be packed with ppl having lan games.

Hum4n After All Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was wondering if anybody's Xbox has lasted at least a year before it got the Red Lights of Death. I got my Xbox in July 2007 and the first time it broke it only lasted 8 months. Got it repaired then it only lasted 10 months before breaking again. Has anybody else had shitty luck or even worse luck than me? My Xbox is on it's way back right now with it's new Jasper unit thank god. But I forgot to mention the power supply when I called them. Do you think that may be a problem as well? I think so since all the newer Xbox's being produced have the power supply which uses less power.

prophetik music Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 no, the issue is that the mobo gets too hot. the psu is smaller on the native jasper units, but it's BECAUSE they require less power, not to cut down on temp. those psus are like 96% efficient or something ridiculous like that - they make almost no heat. the brick does that =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadofsky Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 My problem with Halo Wars, from what I played of the demo, is that it consists entirely of "build lots of units, tell all units to attack". That's... really dull. There was no way to assign groups, so you couldn't do any sort of strategy easily. There was no way to select more-than-one but less-than-all of your units easily, which meant that it was near-impossible to do even simple tactics like leaving some of your units behind for base defense or attack different targets simultaneously.I'm not one of the "lulz mouse + keyboard better at everything!" types, but RTS games are really the exception. Halo Wars demostrates exactly what the problems with a console-based RTS game are. Hell, even turn based strategy games are fine, but RTS, where the time it takes to input commands actually matters? That's a different story... I haven't played the demo just yet, though I wanna give it a shot. I vividly remember playing LOTR Battle For Middle Earth 2 on the 360, and honestly, I loved it. It was done well, at least to me it was. The controls did take some time to get use to, but I think the game did a good job of leading you in. Because towards the last few places, man, I was a lean mean button pushing machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-san Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 If this isnt ok to post here im sorry ): but Im selling Resident Evil 5 Collectors edition for the 360. I bought the game and really wasn't thrilled with it like past resident evils. You'll get everything from inside the box thats the game, bonus disc, bag, figure, patch, necklace, metal tin. I guess the price is $70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overflow Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Bump. So how's Eat Lead? Anyone tried it? It looks like it might be fun, if only for the mockery of other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 i heard that it was absolutely horrible, but i haven't played it so i don't know. in other news, i recently picked up afro samurai and wheelman, but i'm not going to play them until i can get my work for the semester done =) i don't need even more problems getting my papers written for the end of the semester.

I-n-j-i-n Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ugh. My RROD'd 360 is coming back since almost 1 month ago. Whenever you get an RROD, never trust Microsoft saying they're sending you a box. Just go to the UPS ASAP and get it over with. Dammit.

Schwaltzvald Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 didn't they stop sending boxes a few months back? Either this report is slow or M$ did just end that extra bit of service earlier this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 no one, apparently.you're fine to post here, ninja. no sweat =) Due to my place of living, I can't download demos. Life sucks for me in Japan. >_< Also I enjoyed Afro Samurai, it was stylish, a bit repetitive, and had one of the most badass OSTs ever.

Whenever you get an RROD, never trust Microsoft saying they're sending you a box. Just go to the UPS ASAP and get it over with. Dammit. lol yeah that what i did. Ask for the USP sticker via email, print it, put it on a box and go yourself to usps. My 360 was back after 1 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 1 week is pretty fast ; Mine took about 2 weeks since the UPS mailing. I'm sort of glad that my 360 broke down so spectacularly because Microsoft sent me an awesome new Jasper 360 that runs SILENTLY. It's really incredible. None of the loud console noise, the fan noise, none of it. I hear that you have to pull your teeth to get a new console if something like that ever happens to my Wii. I'm glad Microsoft is so eager to please and replace. Even if the whole process took me almost a month because of the box fiasco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophetik music Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 i recently bought a jasper, and it's pretty awesome. i wanted hi-def, and my old system was so bloody loud, even with a benq drive. the new jaspers all have the lite-on drive (which is bloody impossible to hack without special tools, hence why my drive's in brooklyn right now), which is increibly quiet, and the fans run like 50% less because of the significant power reduction. really, really nice. too bad MS hasn't publicized this yet.

anosou Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I WANT A JASPER I still have the first gen Core, no HDMI and full of crap... I'm hoping for a spectacular breakdown before this warranty runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
