The Old XBOX Megathread

[Cactus Drags]

I already has Battleblock.

So is Xbox Live shitting the bed for anyone else or is it all a part of my 360 dying? I feel like over the last couple weeks, it's hit or miss if I can even get online or not. And when I do get online, it kicks me off before finding a game or lobby.

I would imagine last weekend would have been the worst, what with the One launching and all, but I don't recall it being bad (if I was on at all) or having any issues since. Maybe your box is dying on you.

Anyway, Dark Souls is a measly £3.74! People should definitely buy it! Like Maxx, we should co-op like we always dreamed of!

£3.29 for Battleblock, I may get it but we've all been stung with 'let's buy this and play it together! We will definitely, definitely not just play it once and never again!.

And £2.49 for FC3: Blood Dragon. I have FC3 on PS+ and I don't like to chop and change systems that I play franchises on but it's a good deal at that price!

[Cactus Drags]

Battleblock's a lark even if we never end up getting together to play, especially at that price.

Is the first Gears of War any good? That's the one that's free this month for gold I believe, but I don't want to download it if it's really not good.

From what I remember its only any good if you are playing the co-op with mates

Pretty much. Pretty boring and generic by yourself, a blast with a friend.

OH MY GOD ARE THE MULTIPLAYER SERVERS STILL ACTIVE FOR IT!?

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADS

[King Ellis]

Granted I still have it anyway but it's in the same sort of range as RSV and, to a lesser extent, Halo 3 in that you can buy it used for like £1-2. I think even 2 is the same price! This is why collecting for 360/PS3 is great, compared to Nintendo consoles.

And yeah, I would imagine the servers are still up. People have probably been trying to boost the achievements for it for the past 7 years.

[LL!]

It's shit.

[King Ellis]

Was waiting for that.

Well, onto another question. I'm doing a one month trial of Gamefly since I would get 2 discs at a time. One game I'm renting is Arkham Origins (enjoyed the other two games, but definitely not something I would buy again), but I'm not sure what to rent for the other. I've heard Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider is good, but I'm not sure if I would have the time for two story based games. I was thinking of something I could just fuck around in like WWE 2K14 (despite having no real interest, the 30 Years mode sounds interesting and I always enjoy creating characters). Do you guys have any general suggestions as to what games you think would be a good rental?

[Ruki]

I have $600 sitting in my company stocks....it's REALLY tempting to cash it out for an Xbox One

[Your Mom]

Oh good god Ruki save your money

[LL!]

Ruki, waste your money so that nobody can ask you for money again.

[King Ellis]

Your general :/'ing over the PS4 launch did little to sate my hunger for your misery, feed it by buying the One!

[apsham]

JEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS Ruki.

[9 to 5]

Yeah, you need both. Apsham has both and he is Canadian. Follow his example!

[Maxx]

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD...der match?

[Meacon Keaton]

Quit post-whoring, whore!
