The Old XBOX Megathread

[King Ellis]

I'm torn. I feel like I should play the story first so that my first experience of the settings wont be in multi. But, I also feel I shouldn't rush the story and blitz it in a day.

[EddieRuckus]

Spent 4 hours and 5 mins playing in terms of actual gameplay time(though I've been playing since roughly 3, it's now 9:25), and man, the multi is just frickin amazing. Granted I'm on my clan account, and I'll probably have to start over with Eddie Ruckus, but man it's been fun and awesome.

[Ruki]

...do you have two different gamertags?

AND YOU WILL PLAY WITH MYSELF, ELLIS, FITZY, LL, KANEY (I remembered you!), AND WHOEVER ELSE TONIGHT!

[EddieRuckus]

Yeah, one for my clan when we all play together as a big group(meaning 4 or more), and then just Eddie Ruckus. I really should take a nap so I can continue with the awesomeness later, but I kinda want to start on my main gamertag so that I can do well with you guys.

[Ruki]

Fuck that. Sleep now, and you can join us when we play, fresh as a daisy.

[EddieRuckus]

Going to sleep soon, wake up around 2:30/3:00ish our time. Going to try and level up to 22, as I only have a few XP points to go.

Me too, except I don't mind blitzing through >_> I just don't understand jumping straight into the multiplayer part of a game, to me it just makes more sense to play, at least some, of the solo game first so you know how to play properly.

That said, Spec Ops sounds pretty sweet, things like player one marking enemies with a laser on the ground for player two in the flying gun ship of death from the first game blowing them apart from the sky.

I'm just at the airport level. The SHOCKING HORRIFYING OFFENSIVE LEVEL OF DOOM, and to be fair, it is a bit more shocking than I expected, but I still don't think it's worth going nuts about. One thing I will end up moaning about is the blood on your screen when you get hit. I forget how it was done in COD4, but this seems really distracting, it's like getting shot in the face with a flashbang. Can't see a thing for the most part, but I guess thats just more impetus to not get shot >_>

[9 to 5]

I should be around to play tonight. Even if I will suck and/or be drunk.

I never would have guessed that getting shot would be distracting.

[Kaney]

Yeah, because like I said it wasn't in the last game, smart ass.

[Ruki]

I need some form of smarts.

[Marsh]

I know this is likely old news but it slipped completely under my radar--

ToeJam & Earl is being re-released on XBLA.

Online multiplayer? This is immense.

Hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up.

Wish I didn't know this until it was out I really want to play it, but don't have a Sega Megadrive/Genesis set up.

[King Ellis]

Don't get too excited there, there are copywright issues with TJ&E which would need to be sorted first. Sega don't own the rights so an Arcade re-release isn't a sure thing. The chracters wont be appearing in the upcoming Sega kart racing game either for the same reason.

[LL!]

LL will be playing Modern Warfare 2 within the next 2 hours. Everybody must get on and enjoy with him.

[King Ellis]

I call laser.

[Kaney]

I may play with you if the Borderlaaaads have finished.

[Captain Eo]

I'll never buy another preowned 360.

Red Ring?

Edit: NEWS

In a recent interview with The Gaming Liberty, Shawn Lee, musical composer for Bully, revealed some interesting news about the future of the series, "Yes. It looks like I will be doing the soundtrack for Bully 2 in the not so distant future."

So there you have it folks, a sequel to Bully is apparently on the way, but at this moment, there's no other information regarding the sequel.

Lee's full interview with The Gaming Liberty will be available in the "near future," so whether or not Lee was able to discuss the sequel in greater detail is anyone's guess. In either case, we'll probably start seeing more news regarding the sequel, now that the cat is out of the bag.

Ban Ring.

Just bought it in May from Gamestop, still have my receipt. Got the TOS violation message, called Xbox Live, they told me to post on the forums. Got a PM from "The Pro" this system has been banned for modifications to the console. When I bought it from Gamestop they guaranteed me that it's never been opened as the warranty sticker was still intact. So either Microsoft just has a hardon for me, or Gamestop owes me a "new" system. Store manager will be back tomorrow though.

Bully 2.

Amazing news.

The first one was such an underrated game, I still haven't gotten past the Halloween Saga the past 3 times I've owned it.

[Ruki]

You were one of the million people banned!

But sorry to hear that, that is pretty shitty. Hopefully Gamestop gives you a new system.
