Shorty Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Wow, I've always had a free month of XBL gold but never a controller....
nightwolf Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It's starting to make me wonder when my xbox will brake..rather than if.
Chuck Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I've had a controller, viva piñata and viva pinata party animals from microsoft
jayseven Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Ok well i'm back on condemned and after playing fallout and gears, I find the combat mechanics extremely shoddy. If there was the ability to HOLD a block then it'd be fine, but I find myself having to constantly redo checkpoint after checkpoint and.. well I don't find it scary at all. Mostly just ANNOYING. The game has been very unrewarding for the hours I have to put into it. I just don't find it fun, nor scary, at all. Just annoying.
chrizkerr2 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Anyone know if there is going to be a Halo Wars demo? On the fence about getting it... I do enjoy RTS games but never really played them with a controller... Would be nice for a demo to see if the controller works well with it.

MATtheHAT Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Damn, I know I have come to the party a bit late, but I am just getting mullered online in Gears of War.
Shorty Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It's starting to make me wonder when my xbox will brake..rather than if. When. Not if. This was always a universal truth from the moment an xbox came into your possession.
nightwolf Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 When. Not if. This was always a universal truth from the moment an xbox came into your possession. Haha, I did put that. But yes, unfortunetly I'm not looking forward to the day my xbox turns red on me, it makes me scared to play it! Well no, it doesn't, but never mind. I think I'm starting to find having an xbox somewhat disappointing, when I got my wii I was constantly excited about having it for about three months, with the xbox had it two weeks and got slightly bored with it. Grr.
Shorty Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Playing it, not playing it, doesn't really seem to matter. I've had people playing on my xbox for about 16 hours before and its been fine. On the other hand Cube just came home from not playing it for days and it RRoD'd.
chrizkerr2 Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/56653 5th of February according to this. Ah, thanks for that. 3 Days to go then!
Pantsu Man! Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I went and bought Crackdown again, put it in my box and everything is perfectly fine. After showing a flatmate the down loadable content I then wondered what else there was to do after having got all the achievements off of it. I then realised there isn't anything to do so I stopped playing. Damn.
Dante Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 i should get back to finishing Crackdown sometime. Edit: remembers the reason why i have stopped playing it
Letty Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 How come you didn't check gamefaqs 6 months ago? Even in one of the guides it has a step by step guide how to get through. I had saved midway through the place, and had no idea how to reset all the rooms. I guess I gave up at the first hurdle. Playing it, not playing it, doesn't really seem to matter. I've had people playing on my xbox for about 16 hours before and its been fine. On the other hand Cube just came home from not playing it for days and it RRoD'd. Its true! I left mine on for 50 hours straight to get the 50 hours play time achievement on Beautiful Katamari - and it lasted a good year after that!
Dyson Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Haha, I did put that. But yes, unfortunetly I'm not looking forward to the day my xbox turns red on me, it makes me scared to play it! Well no, it doesn't, but never mind. I think I'm starting to find having an xbox somewhat disappointing, when I got my wii I was constantly excited about having it for about three months, with the xbox had it two weeks and got slightly bored with it. Grr. Could it have anything to do with the timing? I can't really remember when you got your 360 but there was probably less going on in your life when you got your Wii, so it took precedence, but since you've got your 360 and indeed now got university and a new life do you think that has anything to do with you neglecting it? Just throwing that out there, mind.
nightwolf Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 It more than likely is, I've got quite abit of work to be doing whilst at uni, shame really because I've got a few good games to finish
ViPeR Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Hmm, I just downloaded a new 360 update. I boot up Fallout and after 10 minutes i've got a RROD... Has anyone else had any issues with the new update?
The-Ironflame Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 The update was meant to fix the No HDMI audio bug with monitors and some TV's as far as I know I'm not sure if there's any other fixes or changes.
ViPeR Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Hmm it could be a coincidence I guess. It's just strange how it seemed to happen straight after the update. Though, my 360 is now dead so i've set up a repair.
Guest Jordan Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Thank god this thing got patched. I kept constantly getting missed audio/skipping audio on some games. Really annoying. Ah well, at least its fixed now.
Cube Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Hmm it could be a coincidence I guess. It's just strange how it seemed to happen straight after the update. Though, my 360 is now dead so i've set up a repair. System updates can randomly cause RROD.
ViPeR Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 System updates can randomly cause RROD. Yeh, does seem to be the case. It's too much of a coincidence.
Goron_3 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 ARGH fucking guitar hero. Finally got World Tour, got really hyped to play it, start playing Beat It by MJ and I failed the song before i've pressed a button or even strummed. Looks like my strum bar is faulty because there are occasions where it'll just register that i'm pressing it when i'm not (i knew it looked a bit loose). What's annoying though is that i got the game from Morrison's which is almost 30 minutes away and i'm not actually gonna have a chance to go there again (we jsut happened to be passing through it the first time). Any ideas what i can do? I heard there were some issues with some of the World Tour instruments, do they arrange a pick up/exchange or something?
Platty Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 So the red ring of death thingy, Someone explain it to me. I'm a new owner of a 360 and have heard of people getting the RROD but why? Have they sorted out the problem with new machines?
Ganepark32 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 They claim to have sorted the problem with the newer machines. However, they're all prone to it, just that the newer machines are less prone to getting the RRoD. Don't know the exact cause of it (something to do with a heat sink and microsoft being cheapskates and making a chip themselves) but it doesn't look like they'll ever fix it completely.
