Shorty Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Was just popping on to say that! If you want Braid, now's the time to get it. (Gutted if you bought it like last week though)
S.C.G Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Was I only person who didn't like Braid? I played the demo and was underwhelmed. Anyway I might get the Ninja Gaiden II add-on depending on what it contains, that game pwns so much. ^^
ThePigMarcher Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Appreciate the heads-up about Braid. Played the trial and loved it , but was always a little reluctant to spend the 1200 points on it. No excuses now and the thing has just been purchased.
nightwolf Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Yeh Jade Empire has got some very good reviews under it's belt so I'll most definitely look into it and probably Dreamfall as well. Just need a new HDD that's all and to remember the password and email address connected to my Live account so I can access my stuff on the new HDD. I'm slightly late. I bought an original xbox for fable and ended up falling in love with jade empire, I've played it several times now without getting bored with it.
Ganepark32 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Good to know it's got some lastability then. I don't really remember playing much on my xbox other than Halo 1 and 2 and the two KotOR titles so it's about time I actually played some of the stuff I missed out on. Are HDD transfer cables available in stores or only online? Don't think I've seen them in stores but I haven't really looked as it's only until now that I'll be needing a new harddrive and the cable for transferring stuff over.
Goron_3 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Was I only person who didn't like Braid? I played the demo and was underwhelmed. Anyway I might get the Ninja Gaiden II add-on depending on what it contains, that game pwns so much. ^^ Bare in mind the demo doesn't feature any of the puzzles and tbh it pretty much just shows off the platforming and the graphical style (which is what sold the game to me really). I remember showing zell the first level (so essentially the demo) and it's nothing spectacular but when he came over i showed him levels 3-4 and he ended up buying the game and loving it It's a one of a kind experience, it's just amazing. The demo was underwhelming yes, but it's like shoving someone half way into Bioshock and expecting them to like it. At 800 points you'd be mental not to DL it and give it a go (esp. if you have a hdtv!).
Dyson Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Certainly. Truly amazing game - stuck trying to decide between World of Goo and Braid for my 2008 indie game of the year..
Bren Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Bought braid earlier today, im likin it, gave it about an hour, got bored on the levels wer as u move time moves, but ill go hav another go at them later. Worth the 800 points for the music alone, its well relaxing to play to.
ThePigMarcher Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Gave Braid a couple of hours myself. Only played through worlds 2 and 3 but loving it. Completed world 2 easy enough , but then I did go through it a few times when I had the trial , and have most of world 3 , although there's a piece or two that are giving me a little hassle. A certain boss in that world was fantastic and I can see that I am really going to enjoy the rest of this , even if it gives me more of a mental workthrough than I am probably used to :p.
Platty Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 May pick up this Braid then seen as it's cheaper and all you lot are raving on about it
Goron_3 Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 May pick up this Braid then seen as it's cheaper and all you lot are raving on about it Do it you won't regret it! Funnily enough it's the only game i've ever played where i desperately wanted to find out the ending so kept on playing because of it. 'Does the princess exist? She must!'. I remember reading those lines on one of the worlds and realised how much i wanted to complete it (think i played for about 2 hours non stop after that with no guide despite how hard it gets...mental breakdown!). Bought braid earlier today, im likin it, gave it about an hour, got bored on the levels wer as u move time moves, but ill go hav another go at them later. Worth the 800 points for the music alone, its well relaxing to play to. World 3? Hardest world in the game imo (i can do every level easily apart from that, grrr!). Oh btw, the final 2 worlds have some incredilbe puzzles..you'll be scratching your heads for sure!
Emerald Emblem Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Ordered Burnout Paradise Ultimate Edition from Play.com, it was out of stock so I ordered and am waiting fr it to be dispatched. Is there a set period that they restock?
BeerMonkey Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 wrost burnout game ive ever played is paradise...hate the open city idea thing and having to drive to new challenges :/ MUCH....MUCH prefered when can just select from the menu and they took out the crash challenge (set ramp etc and must get a set number of points from a crash). As for braid it was alright i dont see what others love about it thou
Aimless Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I think that looks rather ugly. Not quite as garish as the special edition Spartan 360, but still a bit tacky looking.
Shorty Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Nooo, I think it looks great, not too bright but more prominent than the matte 'black' of the regular elite, and a rare and nicely matched controller colour. For red and product linked, it could've been so tacky.
jayseven Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 ... DO WANT Dude. I think you need to convince me not to buy it. Seriously. SERIOUSLY!!! It's in a basket and all that's stopping me is the fact that my wallet is out of arm's reach...
Shorty Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Dude. I think you need to convince me not to buy it. Seriously. SERIOUSLY!!! It's in a basket and all that's stopping me is the fact that my wallet is out of arm's reach... ...because you already have an xbox you can and do play all day that didn't cost you anything? Maybe you could buy mine off me instead and I could get the red one....
Shorty Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 The internet seems to be very 50/50 everywhere I look on either loving or hating the colour. Red with green lights? Ew. Since when do red and green not work together? Works for Mario and Luigi. Besides, after a while it will be red with red lights. Not a prob!
Bren Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 That colour is well nice, id get one if i didnt av elite already, gutted. Played Braid for a bit longer last night, world 3 ended up being easier than i thought :P reallly wanna play it for longer, but college work wins :|
nightwolf Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 ...because you already have an xbox you can and do play all day that didn't cost you anything? Maybe you could buy mine off me instead and I could get the red one.... Only if you stick around in Sheffield that is, he's gotta assess his xbox options for if you disappear!
jayseven Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 ...because you already have an xbox you can and do play all day that didn't cost you anything? Maybe you could buy mine off me instead and I could get the red one.... I did think of suggesting that, but truth be told I want my own one for warrenties and shit. And your black controller sucks. Plus it's redcool. And me playing free xbox all the time just makes me feel guilty! Is that enough italics? Besides, after a while it will be red with red lights. Not a prob! Lols :P Only if you stick around in Sheffield that is, he's gotta assess his xbox options for if you disappear! ^Another valid point. Is it true that the elite consoles come with a cd/cable that enables file transfers from one xbox to another? I've got some savefiles on Shorty's HDD that I'd love to take with me... EDIT: Read up a bit more; comes with the seperate 120gb HDDs, not teh consoles. Can request a cable/disc from xbox.com, but it doesn't look like you can select which files to transfer or not. Tsh! EDIT DOUBLÉ: Well, I need more research apparantly. IGN gave the transfer a go, and it only glosses over the mention of other profiles and their saves being left intact... Hmm. Edithree: Ok. Filetransfer=no. Memory Unit = maybe. "You can copy any item on a memory unit to another xbox 360" (p.3)
