The Old XBOX Megathread

[Meacon Keaton]

When you skate around, the game spawns your Live friends as AI's that skate around with you. At first I thought Dan was on and playing too, but it shows an (AI) next to their name. It was pretty neat. Especially when Ruki and his wifebeater cruised into traffic.

[Dan]

Ruki wears a wifebeater

[Ruki]

I will beat your face.

[Maxx]

There's no b in eat.

Finally completed Metal Gear Solid 3. Unsure whether to start Peace Walker or not, suppose it'll give me something to do as well as starting a new career mode on UFC before Mass Effect 3 comes out

[Benji]

I really want to buy the MGS collection, but without the original MGS it just feels like a waste. Why miss the best game in the series?

[DavidMarrio]

That is the only real negative about the collection. I mean while it does have the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 it just doesn't feel the same without Metal Gear Solid 1. I still think it's worth the money mind just disappointing that it doesn't have MGS1.

[Benji]

Is their any reason it wasn't included?

[King Ellis]

This is another of those situations where I'm torn on which system to pick it up for. 360 has achievements, multiplayer and generally gets more use from me but I have MGS 1 on PS1 (and MGS3 on PS2, not that I can use it on PS3) so having it on PS3 would give a greater sense of owning that series on 1 platform.

Same with Dark Souls.

The graphics were too basic to HD it up is the line used. Peace Walker is alright so far if different from what I am used to with MGS. You can tell it was a port from the PSP. Online should be fun however.

[Dan]

HDing up PS1 games would take forever, PS2 games are much easier to do.

[Benji]

I never understand that. If it's too basic to be updated to HD, can it not just be left in original format? Like PSOne Classics? I don't give a shit about them being HD, I just want to play them with trophies and achievements

[Ruki]

Why not just use the graphics from the Gamecube version?

[probablyoliver]

I wanna play something online.

If anyone has smackdown 2010, red dead or the new assassins creed I think we should play.

[King Ellis]

Let us all posse up and kill Ollie and the horse he rode in on!

[probablyoliver]

I'm game.

Oliverios89 if you haven't bothered to readd me yet.

[Ruki]

I would likely be up for that...assuming you are all still playing in 4 hours

[King Ellis]

What's the story, flake on a bill to Microsoft so now they want £60 off you so you open a new account?

[probablyoliver]

£30, actually. >_>

[King Ellis]

I doubt I can play RDR anyway because my brother borrowed my copy and either damaged it himself or he bought a second hand copy of his own, saw that disc was shitty and took mine instead.

Though, I do have it on the hard drive of my other 360 but i'd need more than just the usual 'Let's play _____!' *No one plays* routine of EWB gaming if I were to bother to set it up again.
