Shorty Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure you can't install games to the external drive though. That would mean more people would do that, instead of paying for Microsoft's own hard drives.
Gio001 Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Darn, thanks for your replies, looks like i'll have to keep on deleting & re-installing games. Wierd, i've got a massive drive on my PS3 & can hook up an external HDD no problem.
Esequiel Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Is the HD cable connection the same on the 360 old version as the new slim version?
jayseven Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Had a decent sesh on GoW3 with my mate yesterday - reached end of chapter 4 (getting into sub I think) after about 8 hours of play. Not as many "nnyyawrraghgh" moments that were in GoW2. Currently just started Red Dead Redemption - literally just like 20 mins into it. Taking it leisurely.
Ellmeister Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Just like every Rockstar sandbox game I found it a slow-burner at the start as it eases you into every control.
Jimbob Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 You'll enjoy Red Dead, once it picks up the pace a little you won't really want to put it down. I liked the beginning, eased you into the feel of the game and how it works/plays.
jayseven Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Yeah that's precisely the kind of game I'm after right now - nothing too hurried; a nice, gentle pace to counter-balance blops/gears and their relentless on-edgery. It's like with fallout when I just soaked in the atmosphere, red dead's vibe is serene (so far!) and it also shows you just how bad the gears script is :P

I recall spending 1/2 the time in the saloons playing poker. The side-quests add a refreshing turn to the game as well.
Nintendohnut Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Really need to get back into Red Dead. I played it through and got pretty far, then stopped for a long time to play Splinter Cell Conviction, which is awesome. I let a mate play my game for a bit in the mean time and he was messing around loads. Killed loads of civilians and lawmen, lost loads of my honor and fame (or whatever they are) and then paid the bounty on my head, which was around $800, cleaning out my money. I haven't really wanted to go back on since - I guess it will have auto-saved at some point in this despite the fact I switched off without saving. But yeah, that.
Ellmeister Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I'm started playing Mass Effect 2 and love it. At first the changes were hard to understand (hacking etc all changed to something completely different) but now I've gotten the hang of it. I just recruited Tali and the battle was amazing. They give you 3 methods to attack in the final push and I felt a sense of achievement when I managed to overcome those pesky geth. I'm enjoying the effects of completing missions in ME1 as well now. Good to see old faces .

Good to see old faces . Thats something i really enjoyed with Mass Effect 2. Loved the situation the game was in and the moods people had/feelings for yourself depending on how you handled yourself in the first title. Havn't rescued that many yet, have Garrus (Archangel), the Thief, the Scientist and that dude wth the scar on his face (forget his name). Along with the 2 munchkins at the start. I ought to get back onto playing it, giving it a break so i can push the Gears campaign through. Then back to it Same goes for Bioshock as well, still ain't beat that title and ought to beat it to be fair. It's a great game, and i feel i am missing out on the gem it is.
jayseven Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Having that "there's no autosave! Aaah" feeling with red dead. One time I dismounted and landed in water and drowned. Need to get into the habit of using my campfire! On Black Ops I've just played like 12 games with these two guys, and because I played so well I was never put on their (group) team, but relentlessly I was still in the top 3 for each match, towards the end coming 3rd overall behind the both of them, but still most games ending with me having the only positive k/d. Was good fun, and I think I found my groove again! Not as good as a couple of weeks ago, when I was routinely getting 11 kill streaks (once twice in one game) and getting to call out the dogs. Mmmm... dominance :P

I have no idea who the guy with the scar on his face is. I've got all the members and finally started doing their loyalty missions. Such a good game I have nothing but praises except this bug earlier when talking to Thane that just had me looking at the top of his head and it crashed
Shorty Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I think you mean Zaeed? He was free DLC with all new copies of the game.

Bit of a wierd dude he is. Ellmeister said: I've got all the members and finally started doing their loyalty missions. Such a good game I have nothing but praises except this bug earlier when talking to Thane that just had me looking at the top of his head and it crashed I've done the loyalty mission for the Thief and Zaeed already, and don't have all the crew as of yet. Thought the Thief loyalty mission was slightly better than Zaeeds though, but thats just me.

Although I have never used them on PS3 so i very much dout I will be using them on 360.
jayseven Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Excellent! I always want to catch stuff up but never wanted to sacrifice surfing the internet at the same time :P Although admittedly I've rather underused the skyplayer - but we have a basic package so I never watch anything anyway.
Jimbob Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 BBC I-Player on the 360, much needed and over-due.
