flameboy Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 MGO was frustrating last night...me and Choze were playing and kicking ass and then everyone got disconnected from the game, then in the next game I got disconnected again. But was good to get playing.
LegoMan1031 Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I had a try of MGO last night, seems pretty good although i found it abit confusing. All the different options n stuff just blew my mind and i found it didn't make things very straight forward. (The beginning with the game id and konomi id prob didn't help). Anyone else find this?
Choze Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Yeah Flameboy we had a good few matches. Shame you got disconnected. For some reason the game doesnt let me make a server... I would love to host games. Thinking of getting O2 broadband along with the Iphone. They do 1.6 Mbps upload speed. Should be good for gaming. The Iphone camera is just the main thing making me hesitate as i will be coming from a N95 8GB which takes digital camera type shots.

Also there are training servers. Dont just rush into matches straight away. Remember, there much more to it than shooting if you want to get ahead. Make sure you are clued up on CQC and other moves in the menu.

I have had MGS4 since it was released and have completed it. I had just never tried MGO online till that time. Also i now have burnout paradise so i can add that my list of games i can play online.
flameboy Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Yeah MGO is a very odd experience, you kind of have to adapt to how everyone else is playing sometimes you can play it like a run and gun game like other multiplayers if thats what everyone else is playing, but if not the stealthy approach can feel strange. I definitly think we should hit up some Burnout Paradise, I havn't played it for ages since GTA 4 came out but really wanna get back into it.

Yer i agree, with only just getting it back i will prob be playing on it quite abit i had never really played online when i had it last. The stunts side of burnout i have not really tried, had just been playing races, marked man etc.
flameboy Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Ok so how about some burnout paradise on saturday night everyone?
LegoMan1031 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Ok so how about some burnout paradise on saturday night everyone? *Thinks ahead* Should be fine for me. Count me in! I should be back from work at around 18:30 so any time after then would be cool.
Daft Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Ok so how about some burnout paradise on saturday night everyone? Was just thinking that. Count me in. If anyone wants to add me on PSN, my ID is "Daft". Around 6:30 sounds good but if anyone see me on and wants to play just send me a message. Lets see if we can get loads of people. I can imagine this being a crap load of fun. Anyone going to use a headset? If I can get mine working I'll use it but it's been playing up a bit. Might pick up that Sony official one when it comes out. I'll probably be on tomorrow in the day because I've taken the day off work so if anyone want to play just shoot me a message.
flameboy Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 I will be back from work around 6.30ish but could be a bit late. So lets say a bit of freeburning? (tons of new challenges thanks to the update) and then some races. I won't have a headset, as I have to admit none of tem seem to do the for me, so going to wait for the official one to come out with the SOCOM pack.
Strider Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I'm fine with 6:30 on saturday. I think my PS2 eyetoy works with burnout, if so i'll give you the V's if you take me down.

Strider Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Does it? Didn't know they did? Yep, just tried it again now to make sure.
tapedeck Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Does it work on most games? I'll get a cheap one somewhere. (Notably CoD:4 and GTAIV!)
flameboy Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 Well I'm all up for this still when I get in from work. Just realised still have to download the update, so may take a bit longer. So do people fancy trying to do some of the freeburn challenges? Aren't there new ones with the new update. Then have a few races?
Daft Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Well I'm up for anything, including just general carnage. I hope I'm not hosting because I really don't have a clue about the modes, but I'm happy to do anything.

I'm looking forward to some online road rage and marked man...
Daft Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 How do you know if you're hosting? My headset has been paying up, that's why i want to get the Sony official one, but I'll give it a try. Should be easier now I can access the accessories menu from in-game. So who's going to be on? Me You (Flameboy) Strider Mike Tapedeck? Let's see if we can get a full 8! 8 is the max isn't it?
LegoMan1031 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Yer i'm still fine for tonight when i get back from work. I downloaded the update for it last night. They seemed to have changed to design of the menus slightly as well. Don't know what else is new as not had chance to play it. Found an old headset in my room, dunno if it will work but i might give it a try.

I think if you send out the invites then you are the host...from what I remember. I havn't been on it for a while though. I have a few other none n-e mates who I could invite if they are online if we are struggling to make up the 8. EDIT; Taking forever to download the update at the moment.
MATtheHAT Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 For those that are not playing in the Burnout gang, do you fancy some CoD4?
Strider Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Burnout was great And you all got to see my beautiful mug aswell. Jaffa Cakes!!!!
Daft Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Burnout was great And you all got to see my beautiful mug aswell. Jaffa Cakes!!!! Yeah, that was awesome. You cheeky sod, you had a sign and everything!! Next time I shall be prepared! We should do it more often. Shame there isn't a more comprehensive road rage mode.
LegoMan1031 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Yer burnout was great. Loved ur snap shots Strider... espically the one where u gave me the V's for taking u down, lol. Who was it that had 'winner' written on a piece of paper? made me laugh! lol
flameboy Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 Well it's official the N-Europe In Game XMB Summer of Fun has started and what a great session it was as well. Think I faired pretty well in the races coming in 2nd...and also was delighted to win the stunt run! I'm free all tomorrow if anyone fancies a game of something else...or more burnout.
