The Old XBOX Megathread

[apsham]

Friend gave me a copy of Modern Warfare 2 so I can get used to shooters again before Blops 2 comes out, if anyone still plays that.

[Your Mom]

Preordered Hitman, got the Sniper Challenge minigame and promptly killed someone I shouldn't have and alerted everyone to my presence. Hitman!

I preordered just to get the Sniper challenge and then cancelled the next time I went in

[Maxx]

Why? Absolution is going to be awesome. Did you not see the competitive murder game video?

[Your Mom]

I did not

[apsham]

..ohh I just saw it, looks kickass. Basically there's a side mode where in any level, you can set custom targets and everytihng leading up to the mission and then compete with friends over high scores. Awesome.

[Maxx]

Here you go Srar

Counterstrike GO is the biggest waste of MSP I've ever put forward.

- I have never come across a single reasonable team, in the least. If the solution to this is "find a group of people to play with" is a shitty way to have to play this game. On the computer maybe - but for console, meh.

- The lag is the absolute worst I have ever seen. It's pretty much unplayable when more than two people are in the same area.

Those two things just grind on me and hopefully lag can be fixed at some point, I know it's not on my end at this point. But the player base... I hope it changes when Black Ops 2 comes out but.. frig, at this point I'll probably just end up playing that. I'm used to Counterstrike on the PC and I had heard this was a decent enough experience on console. Frig.

finally finished Dead Space 2, can;t wait for part 3. I like the story and everything about the game. Anyone here played it?

[rocksta]

That's what you get for buying counterstrike on a console. :lmao:

[apsham]

Every review made it clear (or seemingly did) that the game was brought over properly and totally worth playing, but it's.. absolute shit as far as I've seen in the last two or three days. I just tried to get into a different game than the one I was in (where TWO of my team members were letting themselves get killed over and over again) and the game just wouldn't have it. I tried to open up votes to ban those members, nothing would happen. I tried to leave and come back and find a different game.. I even chose different custom options and tried my luck with that.. and nothing. It put me back into that game, the wrong game type even. Hit detection is beyond spotty at best, as well.

[King Ellis]

That was probably the only active game on the servers.

I don't think I've had any real trouble with lag. Had a couple of shitty games with CoD kids playing it like deathmatch and getting frustrated at there being no respawns, but outside of that I've found it pretty enjoyable, if a little barebones.

Probably worth mentioning that it's the only version of CS I've ever played, but I wouldn't describe it as a waste at all.

Fire Pro Wrestling is out next Friday!

And before you get too excited, I'll remind you that's Avatar based FPW.

[apsham]

....I got super excited until I read that last part. Fuck.

Oh my. Why. It looks horrible.. like an indy game almost. But at least it makes my Bane avatar costume awesome.

Free Joe Danger 2 on Raptr if you meet the requirements. I know you're on there, Apsham. Dan too if he's around. HURRY!

[apsham]

"In a selected XBLA title"

I don't know what title that is supposed to be. I assume Joe Danger.

Oh.. I found the list. Time to put some.. well.. time in.

EDIT2: ..I am above experienced on a lot of those. An I still can't get it. What?

EDIT3: Oh, I just hit the recheck button. Yay! Thanks Ellis.

[King Ellis]

Where abouts is the recheck button? Dan's saying he's not eligible despite having experience in Trials Evolution.

[apsham]

Umm.. right below the video on the link there's a dinosaur with a gift box and I think it says something like "if you can't obtain your reward..." - I just clicked it, and it ended up telling me that I could.

It looks alright for a bit of fun, and if the cost is low enough. Having the FPW name does tend to lead to disappointment I agree.

[apsham]

MW3 was like, 19 dollars at Walmart due to some Anniversary sale. Yay.
