The Old XBOX Megathread

[abundant]

Wait, wait, wait... what?

If I pre-order the new Banjo game I can play the motherfucking original on my 360!? I am IN.

It's like the Fable 2 Pup Games. The original Banjo-Kazooie will be released on the Marketplace this fall, probably for 800 points, but if you pre-order, you'll get a download card from wherever you pre-ordered with a code to download the game for free.

Speaking of Pub games, got up to 5 star rank last night, and I have won all the Card and spinner tourny/items, and I have about 20-30k in the bank. I'M READY FOR YOU FABLE 2!

Also, fuck Keystone. That game is LOOOOOOOOOONG.

[LL!]

I too, also, as well have 5 stars! WOOO!

[Ruki]

How long did it take you to get it after I left? Because you only had 2 when I went to bed.

Yay for being rich!

[LL!]

It didn't take me long at all. Maybe just a half hour after you left.

[Ruki]

...how?! Took me forever to get that.

[LL!]

I will let you in on the secret on MSN for nobody else can know!

[Guest Kou]

You mean that utub video that shows you how to cheat at Fable Deux Pub Games?

[Hellfire]

Is there any decent shooters coming out soon? Don't tell me Gears of War, because that shit is going to suck. I've been playing COD4 for so long that I'm hearing the sound effects in my dreams now.

No.

Nothing until the fall. Brothers in Arms comes out at the end of September, Far Cry 2 comes out at the end of October, and the next Call of Duty comes out in November.

Always glad to add an Aussie, I haven't been on COD in awhile but did they fix the servers so that Un-Americans could get a game with decent ping in under an hour?

Instead of Bumping a 3 page old thread, I'd like to say that most events in the Olympics game can go fuck themselves, I'm looking at you Short and Medium distance running, Pole Vault, Javelin, Platform Diving, Swimming, Table Tennis, Judo, Kayaking and Weightlifting, But the 2 new shooting events and Cycling are cool, Even though my right arm hates the toll that Cycling puts on it.

Also, YAY! For my video shop getting a whole stack of new games for me to try.

All incredibly easy.

I can't button mash to save my life.

Seems like you can't do anything to save your life.

OOHHH BURN.

What, Is Halo the measuring stick for how good you are at gaming?

I'm not getting into this fight again, After playing again, Platform Diving is ok and Judo is challenging, But I still hate button mashing with a passion.

[Cactus Drags]

To be fair, it's an Olympics game, what did you expect?

The diving is bloody difficult, and Judo seems pretty much random to me. But I find waggling the right stick a whole lote easier than button mashing on this one.

I don't know what I expected, The Platform Diving is kind of like the weightlifting, It's hard to keep your eyes on both things, With weightlifting you can't keep a rhythm doing the sticks in opposite directions.

[LL!]

If only it was just Halo that you sucked at. (sigh)
