The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

Maybe they're doing a worldwide, simaltaneous (sic?) release date.

[LL!]

Oh come on, why try and take away Fitzy's glory? You're always so jealous of him. :/

[King Ellis]

I try and take nothing, he just posted at same time as me. I cannot do anything about that.

[LL!]

So jealous. :/

EA's new approach to new properties? What do you mean like Dead Space where it was supposed to be System Shock 3 and they knew it wouldn't live up to the first two and just gave it another name? Yeah, that's a good approach.

[Slogger]

Also wasn't it because Bioshock ripped off System Shock 2 quite alot?

[Cactus Drags]

Why do people buy strategy guides AT THE SAME TIME they purchase the game? Fucking tools.

1) Gamestop offers them with purchase as well adding a discount if you buy the game with it.

2) Why get them in the first place? You've got the internet for anything you need.

Bioshock was a spiritual successor to System Shock

1. Yeah, we do too. Doesn't mean it makes sense, for a start, there's reason 2, it's free on the fucking internet, but my main gripe is that people aren't even playing and giving it a chance before needing their hands held. Twats.

Oh, and I fixed my streaming media thing, just needed to reboot the router, should've thought of that earlier, I guess.

[Guest Kou]

You're dumb as hell sometimes, Dragsy.

Speaking of router bullshit, my NAT has gone back to being strict for some reason. I've even turned off my firewall and its still stayed as strict. I'm rather confused. I bridged my connections before I had to go to work though, so hopefully that'll help. If I have to, I'll get the 360 wireless router I guess. I don't think that's gonna help though, especially when I was able to get an open NAT with the ethernet cord attached to a laptop method.

[Tarheels.]

So...no free one months?

[Cactus Drags]

There isn't a 360 wireless router. There's a wireless network adaptor.

Technicalities. You know what I meant.

Last night's GTTV revealed two new features for Call Of Duty WAW. The first was the Death Cards, which are the same as Halo's skulls. The second feature is a Zombie mode you unlock once you beat the campaign. It's you and three other players vs. an endless wave of Zombies. You're held up in a building and you can barricade windows with wood and buy furniture to barricade doors. In between waves you can buy any weapon and any upgrade found in the multiplayer.

I figured, but I can never be 100%, waht with the stupidty I'm faced with at work. I've actually had people ask for and even buy a router when they actually wanted the little receiver things, they've even bought them for the Wii and PS3, despite neither actually requiring them.

...

What is up with people's affinities for zombies lately, though? SR2 did it, GTAIV did it. Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 5 are obviously gonna do it. I'm not gonna complain 'cause zombies are awesome, but it's rather strange how three big games have zombies included in their games in some way when the game isn't revolved around zombies at all.
