Ishimaru Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 well, hopefully since it's Epic and not MS, this won't require VISTA to run. Someone told me that you needed VISTA to run Halo 2 on the PC. Not a problem since I have VISTA, but I am debating installing XP over VISTA, but since it's a work computer, they probably won't allow it. Wonder if I can set up a dual-boot system on it. Guess I should take that topic over to the computer thread. Maybe, people won't be on Vista till around 2008, so not putting it to XP would really cut sales. And by the way what computer thread?
Apollo Leader Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 You guys got together again on GoW w/o ME? :/ It was a spur of the moment thing. He was in a Player match and I had just fired up my 360 and was just firing up the game when I got an invite. So how does 10:00 Central time Friday night work for everyone? I'll start a Player match and invite all Macross Worlders that I see.
Hoptimus Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Crackdown. Clever name. The damn game is like crack! Hours go by playing this. Especially Co-Op!
Apollo Leader Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 Crackdown. Clever name. The damn game is like crack! Hours go by playing this. Especially Co-Op! Milk, if you need someone to help you get your Dom achievement on GOW or just need co-op help beating the game on the harder levels, let me know. Ditto if you want some vs. play. As for Crackdown, as soon as I can pull myself away from going for 10,000 kills on GOW, I'll give that a spin. Still need to get back to playing Lost Planet, COD 3, GRAW, DOA4, et al some day...
Excillon Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone heard anything else about the Mobile ops: One year war game? Damn it looks cool and I want it BAD!!!!!!!
Apollo Leader Posted February 22, 2007 Author Posted February 22, 2007 Anyone heard anything else about the Mobile ops: One year war game? Damn it looks cool and I want it BAD!!!!!!! Gamestop's website still shows next month, but I extremely doubt it. It's been months since the last time any new pictures or details came out. Hopefully the original Japanese name of the game will be restored to this game, but at the very least I would like to see "Gundam" somewhere in this title. I hope by some chance that the Koei Gundam will get ported to the 360.

I'll start a Player match and invite all Macross Worlders that I see. I may be going to "The Who" concert here in Reno.... I'll try to make it this time around if not. Edit: I will be going to "The Who" concert after all. Don't suppose you guys could push the date back by one day (joke)? I guess I'll have to catch you guys at another time.

Mechafan Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Crackdown. Clever name. The damn game is like crack! Hours go by playing this. Especially Co-Op! Very true. I am totally into this game. Did Co-op last night and before you know it, it was 4:30 am.

Apollo Leader Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Oihan, you're going to see The Who instead of playing with us?!?!? Where's your priorities, man!?!? Seriously, enjoy the concert. I have to run out in a few minutes to do an errand, but I should be back before 10:00, if not, I should be online sometime after 10:00.
yellowlightman Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I've spent the last two days vegging out and playing Crackdown, and I gotta say this is one hell of a game. Initially it seems a bit shallow, but after maxing out all my stats (except for driving arrgh, still stuck at two stars) it's just a ton of fun. It's by far the best GTA wannabe, and in a lot of ways I'd say it's vastly superior to the GTA series. It's just so much... fun. There's always something you can find to mess around with or blow up, or climb up. I've probably enjoyed the climbing aspect the most, and climbing to the top of the AGency HQ was very cool. All in all what I expected to be a mediocre game that came for free with the Halo 3 beta has turned out to be a fantastic game in it's own right.
Mechafan Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Crackdown is fun. I can not stop playing it. I am mostly maxed out. Driving is at a 3 now. I did the Agency Tower too. I have all the guns stored.
David Hingtgen Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I have the cable guy coming on Tuesday to hook up my broadband connection, so I'll let everyone know if/when I get my Live account set up.
Apollo Leader Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 T-U-R-T-L-E Power, T-U-R-T-L-E Power, T-U-R-T-L-E Power... Pictures have surfaced that Konami may be bringing the original TMNT arcade game to XBLA! But as Joystiq points out, Ubisoft has the rights to the current generation TMNT games so whether Konami could release it right now remains to be seen. After Symphony of the Night, Super Contra, and Rush'n Attack, here's hoping that Turtles in Time, the Simpsons arcade, and the GI Joe arcade game hit XBLA!
David Hingtgen Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 I think I put more quarters into that, than any arcade game but SF 2.
wolfx Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Just started Rainbow 6 Vegas. Pretty good game. Tried co-op with 3 other friends on the dam mission (pun intended) but we keep getting our asses kicked. The AI is cheating as heck as they know when you're coming through the door and can pop a SPAS12 in your head faster than you could get back into cover. >_<

The only Live games I have are Halo 2, Gears of War, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and Call of Duty 3. Ashmedai is my gametag; always looking for someone to game with. (Gaming by yourself is not that much fun if you ask me).
vfxraven19 Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Anyone grab the Japanese Armored Core 4 trial? OMFG, this game is awesome! I was playing it at work.
Chowser Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Anyone know how the Halo 3 beta invite is going to work? You can only have one beta on one console correct? i.e. You can't use one gamertag on one console with an invite, then use a second gamertag on the same console with the Crackdown invite? Which would probably make sense, so anyone want my sealed and new Crackdown with Halo 3 beta invite? I won't be needing it. I forgot I preordered and paid for it awhile back. No refunds, so I'm stuck with a game I don't need.

Vegas Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 do you guys know theres a new transformers game? sorry if this is old news.
Chowser Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Why do you not want to play Crackdown? I had the impression everyone thinks of it as a fantastic game. I tried the demo and to me it was ok. I was never into the GTA games, and this reminds me of GTA. With a new baby in the house, game time is very limited these days.
Alpha OTS Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I tried the demo and to me it was ok. I was never into the GTA games, and this reminds me of GTA. With a new baby in the house, game time is very limited these days. It's actually more like GTA meets Hulk Ultimate Destruction. Once you power up your guy, he does superhuman things; jumping from rooftop to rooftop, picking up cars, etc. I'll probably pick it up when it comes down in price. I have enough games I haven't finished as is.

David Hingtgen Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 TMNT Arcade is the greatest game ever--IF you have 4 people. I might try to get my 360 setup for Live tonight. I call Donatello!

GutsAndCasca Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 My xbox 360 doesn't come on anymore. It just flashes red lights. I just bought Crackdown. I didn't even get a chance to play the f--kin' thing. I am not pleased. And I'm REALLY not pleased, because I've barely played the dam-ed system since I bought it several months back. I only own Gears of War and now Crackdown. I swear, if I can get my money back I'm gonna' get a PS3. This is BS!

Why not just send in your 360 and get it repaired? I'm sure it's still under warranty. I've had mine for 3 months now and God only knows how many hours I've spent on it...yet it still runs perfectly fine. It's one of the older models too.
Murphy Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 i got a question what is xbox360 v.2 "Zephyr" what makes it diff from the original 360? and is it better?

I've had mine for 3 months now and God only knows how many hours I've spent on it...yet it still runs perfectly fine. It's one of the older models too. I've been cruising the web and reading similar horror stories about xbox 360's crapping out like crazy. Fortunately, I "bought" a replacement policy from game crazy, and I'm taking this thing back tomorrow. Seriously, I think I had my 360 for 3 months. I've owned lots of video game systems, and the only ones I've ever had crap out on me were two different original X-boxes, and now my 360. There's something very wrong with microsoft. I read one website - http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2007/02/x...l#comment-43727 Where a guy had I believe 6 out of 7 systems croak on him. I think the 360's an amazing machine... but I don't want mine anymore, this is ridiculous, especially considering how much $$$$ I've forked over for the thing. I wish I hadn't opened f--king crackdown, because now I can't get a refund. It's funny, because I hadn't even played my 360 for over a month. Oh, and the good thing about the older models, is that if you have a 360 manufactured before 2006, repairs are free. If you have one manufactured 2006 and after, you pay 100+ dollars to get it fixed. I believe the replacement policy I purchased (THANK GAWD) lets me have one trade-in, and that's it. I'll use my good fortune (good fortune that cost me an extra 50 bucks) to get rid of this machine as soon as I get my new one. Final Fantasy 13 will be better than the entire 360 library put together anyway probably. Note: I'll be patiently waiting for the next victim to come forward here on Mworld and speak of their beloved deceased. Edited March 7, 2007 by GutsAndCasca

I believe you're refering to the newer, cooler running chipset that in the end is more efficient than the current model. Heat reduction is the theme for the new version...

Not sure what causes it though. Mine is 6 months old ( i bought 2nd hand) and no such problems yet.

Not sure what causes it though. Mine is 6 months old ( i bought 2nd hand) and no such problems yet. I'll tell you what caused my red ring of death, in great detail: system sat on a shelf in dry, room temperature climate with minimal exposure to sunlight, without being touched, or talked/sung to for a long period of time. Then the tray was opened, a brand new game was placed inside, the tray was closed, and the power button was pushed. Voila! 3 eerie red lights appeared where there should have been green (I asked my wife if she believed Satan could possess an Xbox at that moment) and then nothing happened. And nothing will happen, until I either machete my way through Microsofts' red tape to get my 360 repaired, or go trade in my useless one for a new or refurbished system at Game Crazy. I'm hoping for new, and then I'll ask for an immediate refund. If they won't refund my money, then I wonder if anybody around Mworld would like to buy an [Xbox 360 w/hard drive + 2 wireless remotes +headset +ethernet cable + HD/AV cable <---all brand new] +Gears of War + (brand new) Crackdown + Gears of War carrying case (brand new) + USB cooling fan attachment (brand new) + DVD remote.... I think that's everything.... for OOoh... let's say, around 600 bucks? -- I forgot to throw in "Free Xbox Live Silver." Edited March 7, 2007 by GutsAndCasca
