Which game shuld I get for the 360, Fall ...

I don't have Xbox Live so which one would be the best bang for my buck, Please don't just say ''Modarn Warfare 2 cuz its graphics d00d!''



Fallout 3: GOTY - are the bugs as bad for the 360 that the PS3 users have?



Assassins Creed II - I heard it wasn't as repetitive but I don't think It has much replay value



Modern Warfare 2 - played this at a friends, I loved the story and action, but I don't have Xbox Live which is the main focus of the game. Spec Ops was fun too, but I don't think that would keep me happy very long



The Saboteur - I've been following this from the beginning stages of the game for awhile but I heard that there is no reason to be stealthy because even from the start your a one man army. and there are supposed to be a lot of bugs



I think Fallout 3 would be the best choice, but I heard that it was riddled with bugs, frame-rate drops, and freezes, which is unacceptable. Which game shuld I get for the 360, Fall ...
Fallout 3. All the DLC is included, so you're gonna get a lot of content. :DWhich game shuld I get for the 360, Fall ...
FO3 GOTY
Well according to gamespot ac2. It is the 360 game of the year 200-.

how many hours have you put in?
I'd say Fallout 3



Lost track of how many hours I've put into that game, easily +50, maybe closer to +70. I did have my game crash once when the camera tried to go underwater, but that was because my cables were bad.

I borrowed it from my friend and played a good 40-50 hours before giving it back.
Okay, I put FO3: GOTY in my amazon shopping cart and I am kinda unsure about it though, I want to hear from more than that one person that they had little/no freezes, I can handle a few. The game is massive so I can understand a few drops in frame-rate and the occasional crash, but if it's too overwhelming to even log few hours on before a freeze, I won't buy it.
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
I'd go with Fallout 3 personally. I've had a lot of fun with this game and it definitely will give you the longest amount of fun without having xbox live. Assassins Creed 2 is great, but once you beat it theres nothing really to do, and as for COD MW2, if you can't play the online multiplayer theres no purpose of spending 60 dollars on this game. The campaign is very fun, but also very short so the online multiplayer is the only thing that gives it real replay value.
Played the game loved it one of the most enjoyable games i have played and no freezes :) dont be unsure about getting it as its amazing
I rented Fallout3 ad LOVED it, but I am just not so sure about GOTY, I heard way to much about the constant freezing and low frame rates which renders the game unplayable, of course most of these complaints are coming from PS3 users (because sony probably got cocky and said ''yeah we can handle all of it on one disc'') but I still want to hear from the Xbox crowd.
Fallout 3 GOTY
Fallout 3 GOTY I never had any issues with it, and I loved the game so much, a must have if you don't have live.
just bought FO3: GOTY with one day shipping, better not be buggy.

I have heard alot of people complain about constant crashes and drops on frame-rate, whle the majority of these comments are from PS3 users, I am still a little weary on buying this game.

Bethesda isn't really known for having the best polished games, but I've never had a lot of framerate and crashing issues. However, this doesn't mean that they aren't there.Fallout 3: GOTY Do you have alot of cras ...
I've only had the game crash on me once and there is framrate drops every so often
I can handle a few drops in frame rate, maybe a crash or two, the game is MASSIVE, and with 5 DLC's I can completely understand a few of them, but constantly, no. So, most people are experiencing little/no crashes and drops in frame rate?
Yes, there are plenty of drops in frame-rate and graphical glitches. It's not a big enough issue to skip the game, though.
in an hour how many times does the frame rate drop, on average.
i don't remember having any, I proably did though, werent that big if I forgot about them though.
Just got done buying it, one-day shipping too. Hope I have the same results as you guys did.

When I'm playing a game specifically a shooter such as MW2, GRAW2 my controller shuts off for no apparent reason. AC2 doesn't shut off just these two games. I was also playing FNR4 demo and it kept shutting off, it was unplayable for about 2 minutes. I'm using the Duracell batteries that came with the Xbox and there's 2 bars left when I check the status on the dashboard so I assume it's not the batteries.Has anyone ever had this problem with th ...
That happends to me, even though it says 2 bars, it IS the batterys. Change them.Has anyone ever had this problem with th ...
It's your batteries.
Batteries, it will happen when the controller rumbles.
Get fresh batteries and they won't die... You can't expect the batteries that came with the Xbox to last forever...
Yeah.. I was behind 4 people,, about to get a Chopper gunner.. then it turned out, OhhBest part! k I'm at 24 kills, see this guy. I get really cocky so I decide to run up and knife,...And my controller turned off and he turned around and killed me.. * RAGE *But anyway,yeah sometimes It'll turn off randomly, then it'll work fine...
Okay, Thanks guys!
Never had that problem.
happens to me all the time. 360 controllers dont age well.

unpatching

how can i unpatch the expaisions that i downloaded because i cant glitch anymore and do i have to be on xbox live to do it?unpatching
on the xbox dash board and goto the system blade, select memory, highlight HD and press y, press x,x,lb,rb,x,x you will then be asked if you to confirm click yes this will clear ALL updates but will not affect your save games,xbla,demo's or profile.unpatching
Does this still work? i've tried it a few times and theres nothing happening, no mesage
Just google, ''How to clear you cache''If it's dlc you want to remove, go to memory and delete it... if its an update delete your cache, like I said google it.
Just so you know, you can't play online unless you have the latest patch.

title^What Game In CODMW2 give you the most ex ...
probably Demolition or Search and DestroyWhat Game In CODMW2 give you the most ex ...
Depends how good you are - you can earn a lot of points in games like S%26D, but if you keep getting killed you will spend more time waiting for the rounds to end.
Search and Destroy. Kills give you only 50 exp but you get massive match bonuses for each round you play (think 500-2000 at least 4 times per game). I usually get between 5000-10,000 per game. But if you don't get any kills and don't carry the bomb (or diffuse it) then you don't usually get a match bonus... sometimes you do though, I'm not sure how it works exactly.
For levelling up? Search, each kill is 500xp (though only 50pts go towards your score on the leaderboards), planting / defusing is 1000xp. Also, taking down enemy air support gives you a lot of XP, so try doing that too.



If you want a high score for the leaderboard, then stupidly, Team Deathmatch gives 100pts per kill, and all you do is kill. I still don't understand this.



Glitched private matches give you more than anything though.
Headquarters



Search and Destroy gives you points, but only if you do good. In headquarters you get points for doing nothing half the time
If you're really good. S%26D, but if not go with demolition or headquarters. If you get on a good team in these games you'll walk out with A LOT of exp.
if your good camping a flag in ground war domination can rack you up a lot of points.

  • WTF was that?

    So I'm playing Assassins Creed 2. I just got the achievement for discovering the Assassins Tomb. After it disappeared, the shape of the achievement unlocked thing came back up, but it said ''Action Unlocked'' and instead of the xbox logo there was a big ''U'' in blue text with a white background around it.WTF?!WTF was that?
    you really should read the manuel but you just unlocked some uplay pointsWTF was that?
    [QUOTE=''czbuendel'']you really should read the manuel but you just unlocked some uplay points[/QUOTE]

    lol my bad...
    It's ok
    It's basically Ubisoft's own reward system. If you press Y at the title screen, it'll take you to a screen where you spend those points on in-game items and I think there's a theme in there.

    if u havent beaten the campaign then dont sell it but if u have witch u should have then sell it
    Keep it for the campaign, and the memories.
    Well the way I understand it ODST takes place before Halo 3. Diffrent stories.
    only if you dislike halo 3, i havent touched it in a while but then now and again I do revisit games. Plus if it cost you 50 quid in the first place (as my copy did) then is it really worth selling it on for not even half the price? I dont feel so
    Do you plan on playing the Halo 3 campaign again? If yes, keep it. If no, sell it. wtf..
    campaign and any custom content you might have
    I just like it in my collection, and I have a Halo 3 special edition Xbox 360, so it wouldn't make much sense not to have it. I barely touch it though, mostly i's only hen my cousin wants to play since he has a PS3.
    Unless you REALLY like the campaign or you collect your games, like me. I never sale games anymore
    For the campaign, and for collector's sake of simply owning it. Also for the fact that you probably won;t get much for it anyways.
    a new copy of halo 3 is cheap right now so theres no point in selling it
    [QUOTE=''imran753'']a new copy of halo 3 is cheap right now so theres no point in selling it[/QUOTE]



    and the trade in value is very low at game places , and if you're selling it to a friend they probably know it's cheap
    Keep it for the campaign. It's still fun to rush through levels with friends w/ scoring and having random rules like sticky grenades only.

    My sister wants to get an xbox 360 and she lives in japan and she wants to know before she gets it if their are movies available for rent or purchase/streaming on the xbox in japan? she was going to purchase at the navy base a modern warfare 2 limited edition console but a big deciding factor is if they have movies for purchase or rent on the xbox like here in the usa or what do they have? she doesn't live on base by the way.what movies are available for xbox 360 i ...
    She could always just set up her XBL account for the US and be able to download movies from there. I checked my Japanese XBL account and didn't really see anything there in the way of movies, but maybe I just wasn't looking in the right areas.

    Need a new game!!!

    I desperatly want a new game but it needs to have a long story and not be cartoony like borderlands.Need a new game!!!
    fallout or oblivion are the obvious choices.Need a new game!!!
    Yah sorry i didnt put a list but i ownFallout 3OblivionCOD 4MEand mostly games like thatAlso i dont play online
    Just finished Dead Space about a 10-12 hr long story a lot of fun only costs around 15-20 bucks and upon completion you get the option to replay the game with all of your previously upgraded equipment and upgrade it more and complete achievments you couldn't complete before, you also unlock the impossible difficulty after completing medium so it could very well last you a lot longer overall a fantastic game that you should buy for a cheap price.
    i was really thinking about getting thatdo you know of any other games that i could of passed up that i would like?
    It doesn't have much length to it but Bioshock was a fantastic game, gameplay was fun the story was brilliant if your willing to put up gameplay over length this one is awesome and it's on a lower scale for pricing due to it's release date, most of the good longer rpg styled games that i can think of you already have hope this helps gl man. (I heard Dragon Age was great and it can be played for a long time but it just came out and its pricing is pretty hefty if your low on cash.)
    ok thats 2 do you have any morei tried DA:O and it wasn't that good
    Dragon Age obviously.
    i just said i didnt want itunless it has guns.....
    Assassins Creed 2 and Dead Space.
    i got AC2 and all of its acheivements1000/1000
    Dragon Age: Origins?
    i heard that it was really bad
    [QUOTE=''czbuendel'']i heard that it was really bad[/QUOTE]

    it's not. I'm really enjoying it so far. It doesn't have the best graphics, but it's a very good game if you're in to RPGs.
    Would their be anything in that game that a shooter fan would like?
    You want a long game with lengthy story without cartoony style, and it must have guns. That's pretty hard, maybe go lenient a little. I was going to recommend Lost Odyssey for it's length, but I don't know if you would like jrpgs. But dragon age is definitely good, people who said its bad mostly due they are kids who born in mid90s and have no idea what is the old school computer role playing, such as buldars gate and nwn. It's not an action package. So it's up to you
    [QUOTE=''czbuendel'']Would their be anything in that game that a shooter fan would like?[/QUOTE]

    I don't know a way to compare the two, but I love shooters a lot. And this game is pretty cool IMO. I recommend renting it or borrowing it from a friend before making any decisions.

    If you decide to buy it, get it new. The game comes with free DLC that's on the marketplace for $15.
    sorry i pre-ordered ME2 and im just trying to get till the 26th
    A shooter that's not cartoony and has a long story. Hmm well none of these games have really long stories but you can find them pretty cheap and they're worth a play through. Gears of War 1 %26 2 and Resident Evil 5.
    I just thought of one, do you have gta4 and orang box?

    my gears reset!!!!!!!

    Ok i was like 200 kills away from seriously 2.0 achievement (100,000 kills total) and like 20 away from party like its 1999. I was also level 75 in multiplayer and then my gears reset!! all the achievements i earned are still there, but everything reset. level 1, all achievement progress lost campaign lost, all gone. im so madddd what should i do?????my gears reset!!!!!!!
    It happened to me. I had 48,000 and I was like a level 28 and ALL my stuff reset. Then a few weeks ago I decided to play a match and my stuff got rest AGAIN. I had 12,000 kills and I was a level 25 and it reset me again to 1. That showed me just how much of a piece of garbage that game is.my gears reset!!!!!!!

  • Open World Shooters

    I've been wondering, are there any good open world shooters (FPS's that let you roam around the world), or even any good story-driven shoooters. It seems like all the shooters these daysare multiplayer-focused. I got modern warfare 2 and loved it, but the campaign was way too short, so I went back to playing Far cry 2. But I just want to know if there are any other open world/story based shooters i can get.Open World Shooters
    There's only two games that I could recommend for this right now.



    Borderlands

    Despite being open-world, there is almost no story content. Sure, there's occasional narratives, a buttload of quest descriptions, and the like, but absolutely do not expect anything from the story. As for the game itself, it's pretty fun and co-op is a plus, but the RPG aspects are pretty shallow and the world is more linear than it is.



    Most of the quests are going from point A to point B with rather simplistic objectives (kill these people, collect these items, etc). There really isn't much else to do other than that and a game like Far Cry 2 probably has more interesting scenarios (i haven't beaten FC2 yet). Borderland's weapon-generation system makes things fresh, though, and the loot system is addicting (think Diablo). The shooting is pretty fun, but if it all had to boil down to it, one thing's for sure: it's a hell of a lot longer than MW2's campaign.



    Fallout 3

    Even though I'm putting this on here, I can't really call Fallout 3 a real FPS. It's more like an RPG that has first-person shooting. The game doesn't ''feel'' like a FPS (even Goldeneye on the N64 and the old Doom games are more FPS-ish), but i'd be wrong if I said there wasn't decent first person shooting. There's a lot more to Fallout 3 than just the shooting. There's a buttload of quests, items, story content, and everything you'd want in an RPG.



    The biggest problem with this game for me personall, would be that it feels way, WAY too similar to Oblivion. If it weren't for the fact that Bethesda made this game, the very idea of Fallout 3's gameplay system would start lawsuits up the ass :P.



    All I really have to say about Fallout 3 is that you should go in expecting a great RPG, not a great first-person shooter. It's an amazing game that, however, does have some decent shooter mechanics. That's how I view it anyways, so anyone that disagrees can go ahead and rip my ass apart :P



    Hope that helps. ;)Open World Shooters
    Alright thx, I definately want to try out Fallout 3, never been really motivated to purchase it, but it looks like a great singleplayer game to supplement all the multiplayer games coming. I'm a bit iffy on Boderlands though, I thinkI'll rent it first. And thx for not saying quItt whIninG n00b mw2 iS teH l33test g4m3 ev3R creAteD, lol

    [/QUOTE]

    Could you really call Borderlands open world? Specific areas have enemies at specific levels and I'm pretty sure(but not entirely since I'm not too far) thatyou don't gain access to some areas until after you've completed a certain number of quests. You could try and travel around the world freely and take on certain quests later than normal but unless your playing with players at higher levels you're gonna get raped. And even then you aren't allowed to play with players that have more than a ten level gap between you.
    I haven't played it, but from reviews it seems like ODST is somewhat open world (at leastmore so than other fps) and the story is also supposedly pretty good.
    Borderlands and Fallout 3 are your best bet. They are both great.
    i just got fallout goty and borderlands excited to play themand you cant call odst open world. the open part is just between levels and the ''world'' is the same all over and not interesting at all, the levels are fun though but same as other halo missions
    I would definitely recommend Fallout 3, like the above poster said its not a FPS, far from it, you can play the entire game without using a gun if you want. However it is a huge game with a ton to do, lots of NPC's with thier own stories and a ton to find and it has very satisfying shooting mechanics. For what your asking TC Fallout 3 is your best bet.
    Thx for the info, I've already played Odst and it is way too short and a bit too linear, but it still was a good game in my opinion. But Fallout 3 is looking better and better.

    I'm now the proud owner of a new 360 Elite, just bought this morning, I'm enjoying it alot.From what I've heard, though, you should stay away from buying 360s used, as you can risk hardware problems. Also, you might want to stay away from the Arcade version. For one thing, while the Arcade is 200 bucks, the Elite is only 100 more. Also, when I bought my Elite this morning, I was warned by the clerk at Gamestop that the Arcade isn't as well made as the Elite-- he said that they get more Arcade consoles brought in for technical problems than Elite consoles.Plus, the Elite comes with more stuff, including a 120 GB hard drive and a headset.So I would go for the Elite.

    I'm a PC gamer who is fed up with PC gaming and looking to buy an Xbox 360. I know pretty much all the games I want and I know of most 360 games so that's not a problem. My problem is I don't know what kind of Xbox 360 to get (elite arcade etc) and what features they have. also any insight on xbox live wired vs wiredless but be great too.Xbox 360 n00b
    Currently only two models available in most places, the Arcade and the Elite. You WILL need a harddrive, so pretty much your only option is the Elite.



    The Arcade comes with 256MB of internal storage, but the compulsory dashboard update known as NXE takes up 128MB. Game saves will quickly fill the remaining space, and within a couple of months nearly all Arcade owners end up wishing they had bought a harddrive.



    The Elite comes with 120GB which is a little excessive for most people's needs, but since both the 20GB and 60GB Pro models have been retired, the 120GB Elite is the only model left with a harddrive.



    You will need the storage space for downloading demos, arcade games, videos, DLC (extra content for games) and all sorts of other things. You will also need a harddrive if you want to install games to it. Installs take up 3-6.8GB (usually 6GB+) and require the disk to be in the drive, but makes the whole thing much quieter without the disk spinning all the time.



    The 360 comes with an ethernet port in the back as standard so you can use a wired connection. If you want to go wireless you would need to purchase a wireless adaptor for it, which are widely regarded as overpriced and unnecessary. If you don't want wires you will have to pay quite a premium to get one. There has recently been a newer model released supporting wireless N if that would make a difference to your decision.



    MS have a comparison of the different models available on their website - [url=http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/compare101.htm]HERE[/url]Xbox 360 n00b
    If you only want to play games (rather than download music, movies, and loads of Arcade games) then I'd get an arcade wi the the XBOX Live Starter pack (headset, 3 month live subscription, and a 60GB harddrive) but if you want to do lots of other things like I said before, get an Elite. The Elite looks schmexy as well :P
    Get the elite. I got the arcade, and I regret it.
    thanks for the help. ive heard a lot of how 360s are ticking self destruction bombs, meaning sooner or later they are prone to breaking.

    are the new elites reliable?
    If you pick up the MW2 edition Elite it will come with a 250gb HDD. Plus you get a great game with it as well!
    [QUOTE=''cdcase007'']thanks for the help. ive heard a lot of how 360s are ticking self destruction bombs, meaning sooner or later they are prone to breaking. are the new elites reliable? [/QUOTE]older 360s, refurbs are.*supposedly* Elites are the ones put through intensive stress tests, and then get their 120 and Black Case, but I think it's all the same now.Jasper chip set is more reliable, SquareTrade reports it as a 2% first year failure rate, you get a warranty anyhow, so if it breaks, it's going to get fixed.Install games to harddrive is the best feature, reduces heat, reduces failures etc. Also, if you're technologically savy, have some SATA cables in your PC, you can always format a 20 gb HD into a 120/250 gb for Xbox 360. Or buy a Western Digital Scorpio and make your own.hope I helped and my list of facts didn't bother you:shock:
    and for games:Left4Dead2, ODST- has the multiplayer H3 disk if you like the Halo. MW2 OR just buy the MW2 bundle, saves you money in the end.L4D2 is the best of all those games:)
    Get the elite. No contest.
    Elite without a doubt. An arcade is for non hardcore, or people who already have harddrives.For games get, Halo ODST, Gears 2, Mass Effect. My top reccomendations
    And if you can get wired connection. Wireless is dumb on 360. The adapter is $50 at cheapest. Should have built it in.But yeah wired saves you quite a bit of money, and it runs better.

  • What we want in Halo Reach

    Okay, so I cannot wait for Halo Reach, and I'm sure others feel the same way. So i figured I'd make a thread where we can talk about what we want in the game. I'll startCampaign:- Matchmaking- 6 players (assuming you play as the 6 person squad)- 10-15 hour campaign- Wide weapon variety- Epic battles with lots of Spartans and Marines against lots of Covenant- A serious, but not too dark of a theme-Character we loveFirefight(assuming they include it):- Matchmaking- 4+ players- Less Lag- Very similar to ODST'sLast but certainly not least Multiplayer:- Some weapon choice when you start a match, and upgradeable weapons. What I mean by this: BR varieties, such as a full-auto BR with no scope, the 3 shotter one, and a semi-auto one with a scope stronger then the 3's. All Balanced of course, and all upgradeable, like different scopes, extended mags, etc. I would like to see varieties of other standards such as the AR's and Magnums.-BOTS! I would love to have bots to fill up custom games some times- 24+ players- BETTER matchmaking and skill level thingy- Blood Gulch- And more weapons- Much MUCH more armors and ways to customize them- No EXP penalty for quitting, and let people join mid game. (If someone quits on your team, your pretty screwed.)Now what do you guys want?!What we want in Halo Reach
    Not penalizing people for quitting? Bad idea. Haven't you ever played DOTA. People quit left and right because they're not doing well and just leave. Nobody can do anything about it. There has to be a penalty for quitting in the middle of a match.What we want in Halo Reach
    I want a new game engine. The Halo/Halo2/Halo3/ODST engine is showing its age. Ket with the times Bungie

    But if you get in an unbearably laggy match? Or Halo's skill system conks out and puts you against 50s? Or you have to go? It just bothers to me, because those happen to me often, and if you have mid game join it'll be okay.

Here's hoping the better matchmaking you wished for will rectify those other problems since people leave all the time as it is.I'd like to see weapon variety that's actually worth while. There are too many weapons in Halo 3 multiplayer that are fairly useless and ignored by all players.
    I like the engine overhaul idea. I also hope there some squad-based-esq mechanics implemented into the story.

    1. Huge epic battles aginst the covenant that make you feel that you are in a war for humanity and that will have lasting impressions.2. Firefight3. Flyable pelicans please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4. and better ranking system that rewards you for ranking like cool new armor or skulls or somethingif they have that I will be extreamly happy
    Yeah I havent really watched any videos of it, nor really kept up with it. I guess it good news that its a new engine.
    I was hoping Master Chief was in it, but I guess we're going to have to wait for Halo 4 for that....

    I think that they should stop releasing Halo games left and right just because the main series is now over. I mean, seriously... Halo 3 was released in September 2007, then Halo Wars was released in March 2009, then Halo 3: ODST in September 2009, now Halo Reach will be out in 2010. Why so much Halo? I mean Halo 2 came out 3 years after the original Halo, then Halo 3 came out 3 years after Halo 2.... I don't see the need to release all these different Halo spin-offs just because the series is over. They SHOULD release them, just not so close together.

Since there won't be regenerating shields, and now an actual health system, maybe some people wouldn't have liked it so Bungie wanted to test it out and see how people accepted it.
    I like everything you wrote besides removing penalties. Actually, I want more to be done to quitters. I hate losing a match because someone decides to quit because he/she doesn't like the map or gametype.

    Call of Duty is released yearly like EA Sports games. Heck, there are more CoD's released on the 360 alone than all Halo's in both Xbox and 360.
    Naw there has to be a penalty. **** happens but the game ain't goin nowhere you can always make up for the lost xp with a late night game sesh or something. But like he said, if you've played DOTA, you'd share the same intelect...it's extremely annoying when noobs just quit..

    I have a 360 Arcade question

    So I'm going to be buying an Arcade system pretty soon cause I already have a 20gb harddrive, but I wanna know if it comes with like a month free of Gold in the system. Cause I won't have any money for a year for awhile.I have a 360 Arcade question
    Yes everytime you make a new XBL account you get one month of Gold FREE! =)I have a 360 Arcade question
    No, it does not come with live free (the arcade system itself).
    [QUOTE=''0ds'']Yes everytime you make a new XBL account you get one month of Gold FREE! =)[/QUOTE]

    I already have a XBL account on my harddrive
    A brand new console will give a free 1 month Gold trial to the first 3 gamertags created on it.



    Since you already have a gamertag, and will be recovering it to that console, you will not be able to take advantage of the Gold trial with that tag. The trials are not codes, are not transferable or usable in any way other than with the creation of a new gamertag.

    harry potter games

    Ive decided to get a harry potter game for Xbox 360. Ive already played harry potter 1, 2, and 3 on the PC, so there are 3 to choose from:1: Goblet of fire. 2: order of the phoenix. 3: half blood princeTell me some good features of whichever game you think is better, too. Thanks! :Dharry potter games
    The Goblet of Fire was awful and so was the half blood prince. Order of the Phoenix was the better of the three. harry potter games
    the only one I ever played was Order of the Phoneix. It was a grind-fest.
    I was disapointed by Order of the Pheoniz i think becuase of the limited spell choice, crappy controls, bad camera, and boring world.
    [QUOTE=''imperial_agent'']the only one I ever played was Order of the Phoneix. It was a grind-fest.[/QUOTE]uhh, sorry, but whaddaya mean by ''grind-fest?'':? Is that good or bad?

    I assume what your talking about are injuries. Everytime your character falls in battle, he gets and injury. After a battle, use a Lesser Injury Kit to cure one injury. or use a Injury Kit to cure 3 injuries.Dragon Age questionnn

    No I mean perm spells from battles. Like example : ''-2Willpower'' Or ''-2.5Strength''
    If you aren't injured and you have a permanent status effect, maybe it's something the character has equipped (like armor depleting stamina) and maybe one of your mages can cure it or craft a poultice to cure it.

    The last part ''...it just makes me feel very slimy and nasty'',that may be because of what you are doing with your hands instead of using them on the controller.[QUOTE=''PlasmaBeam44'']Nudity isn't porn. If that were the case then you'd be making porn every time you take a shower.[/QUOTE]

    And this is also the truth,there is a BIG difference between nudity and porn.If you see a naked women/man it is not porn,they are just nude but if you see a women and man/two women/two men doind the dirty deed in digital form then that is considered porn.

    modernwarfare???

    is modernwarfare much worse violent and blood wise than halo??modernwarfare???
    Who cares? did halo even have blood in it?modernwarfare???
    Halo has a little blood, COD has none, COD drops the f-bomb more often in campaign.Why both have an M rating in U.S.A? who knows...There's rated T games with more dismemberment than these two, to get off topic though.
    it has about the same amount of blood as halo. its just alot of blood splats and thats about it.
    umm... if you want gore play re5 or gears of war, because neither have that much blood, Halo has less than mw 2
    Both of them really do not contain that much violence/blood, but I would say that Halo 3 is ''worse''.

    I noticed this today, I looked at my achievements while playing Borderlands and noticed Halo 2 is at the front of the list. It has 0 of 0 achievements unlocked with a 0Gs.

    I have never seen it on my list since its an original Xbox game. I do have it for PC but that shows up with the achievements also. Could they be doing a god of war collection thing where they rerelease it with achievements? (id really love that) sorry if this is nothing/old news.

    No, all Xbox Origs are like this.It's just how they're displayed so people can still see what games you played.If they were going to re-release them, then I think they would have the Halo 2 symbol instead of the fat X, for Xbox Original.

    This is right, but the info about the displayed Originals are wrong. A player will indeed see the Xbox Original game in his own Played Games list, but others won't. Only they will.

    Fable 2 Hero Dolls

    Hey everyone, I heard rumors that you can buy the hero doll at a gift store in The Bowerstone Old Market. Is this true then can somebody explain to me where the gift shop is. I also need a lucien doll, so If anybody has one I will trade two garth dolls or a daichi for one lucien doll. And if anybody can get me some achievements for the game. I will pay in gold or something else. I will also sell the following: daichi, the red dragon, six garth dolls, and the chopper. Just give me a price and maybe work out a deal for a lucien doll.

    Ok everyone listen up.

    All dolls publicly are worth around a million... so don't go sellin to that guy who offers 10mil, he's lying and will probably take your doll and run!!

    THE HERO DOLL is bought from all good gift stores around albion for about 300g, this is the naked doll with UK boxers on, he IS needed for the achievement.

    The other dolls are represented by the other heros in the game.

    These are Lucien

    Hammer

    Garth

    Theresa

    Reaver

    Hope that helped, ps ledgendary weapons (whilst there is no achievement for collecting them all!) are worth WAY more than ANY doll! You only collect them ONCE, once sold or given to another player the only way to aquire the weapon again is to recieve it off another player, be cautious in you barganing
    Hey guys im looking for anyone who will sell all dolls 4 6mill+. Once i have all dolls and achievement i will gladley give bk all dolls. If you would like to know y i am offering so much, its that i own every buyable shop/house in the game with all rent set to +100% (gredy lol). I will be looking at this post daily waiting until someone takes my offer. Again i am not looking to keep these dolls, because if i wanted them after, i can always buy again.If anyone would like to do this trade please reply to this post and i will give my gamertag.Cheers
    i'm also after them. i have the hero and lucien, so just need the other 3 or 4. just spent most of my money doing other achievements, but should have plenty again within a few days.
    i don't quite understand where you're supposed to get the others from, otherwise i'd just try and get them myself :)
    traded a lucien for a garth, and the shooting range is now giving me teresa, so just need a reaver and hammer. any takers for a teresa?

    Please help me as I need the last achievement which is the dollcatcher one. I have plenty of Theresa Dolls and hero Dolls but need the other 4. I can trade anything as I have all weapons and expressions an plenty of gold.
    you can buy the plain hero doll in the marketplace at a stall to the right of the pub (or you can get through the fable website minigames/theater). one type of character specific doll can be won at the shooting range. all other character dolls must be traded . . . or if someone has them all, they can invite you to their game, sell one of the dolls to a merchant, buy it back, then you get the achievement for having watched.

    Frankly i think some of the gamertags that combine things to make something sound different are pretty creative for example Mike Oxbigh, Dixie Normus and things like that. A bit childish, but creative none the less.

    Dragon Age: Origins Issues...

    Im having an issue with the game. I got it today, and it seems with my archer character, when I hit A for attack, in the middle of him loading up his bow, he just randomly runs to the side, and my hands are OFF the controller....Is this a glitch? Or does everyone have this problem..?It happends on occasion..Like during that first Orge fight it happend a LOT. But on a different part where I was just fighting some bandits it didnt happen at all..Also, its not like my character is moving his position, cause when I hit A, my charcter says ''Attacking'' and then that attacking goes away during mid shot and he just runs away without my holding the controller.Is this common?Dragon Age: Origins Issues...
    yea happens to me all the timeDragon Age: Origins Issues...
    Recently there has been a flare up of controllers left analog sticks wearing out. The same thing happens to me, except my character runs forward. If you pay attention you may notice it in other games. This is only a possible cause of your movement though. If you have an old wired controller, though, this is very likely.
    I blame the game. I don't have this problem with any other game that I own. Right now it's the reason I'm not finishing the story because I'm sick of hitting attack, my main character walking straight into battle, standing there, and then walking away. It's a seriously annoying glitch.Edit: And when I say walking away I mean over and over and over and over again until the fight is over and he basically did nothing but walk away.

    Zune or no Zune

    I just got back from the middle east and updated my XB360 and apparently everything media related on my hdd is thru Zune. Before, all my purchased videos/movies could be viewed offline but now it looks like I need to sign in to see my own stuff! WTF is this all about? Is there a workaround?

    Choose 'Recover Gamertag' and simply input the needed information! As long as your account was connect to Xbox LVIE at some point in time, you'll be able to get it back. If you only played offline, I'm pretty sure it's lost.

    2 xbox's with 1 xbox live account?

    OK, so I have an xbox with a hard drive on the third floor of my house. My bedroom is on the first floor of my house and I want an xbox for down there too. Could I just buy an xbox arcade and then bring my hard drive down whenever I want to play downstairs and logon to xbox live?2 xbox's with 1 xbox live account?
    Yep. That should work perfectly fine.2 xbox's with 1 xbox live account?
    Yep, as long as you recover your xbox live account once (for the lifetime of the specific hardrive) to the harddrive, you can move the harddrive whereever you want, and log on to your account in any xbox that has the harddrive attached to it.
    and as long as you have internet connection via wireless or corded at both areas
    Lolz, I think that is kinda understood. =P

  • how long is AC2?

    Hey guys i just got AC2 for chirstmas and i was wondering how long it is so that i can pace myself when playing. I have the first one and in that i always tend to do view points of the areaand a couple side missions firstbefore doing the mission then finishing up whatever i miseed after. I plan on doing the same with this and all the extra sidee missions and dungeons. So basically how long does it take to do everything in the game lol (cept for the feathers cause i hate doing those things). Thankshow long is AC2?
    took me around 26 hrs but i did extra missions and found most of the glyphs.how long is AC2?
    30 to 40 hours if you want to do all side quests, get all the achievements, and unlock everything.
    Took me around 25 - 30hrs to get all the side quests, all acheivements, and hidden items.
    32 hours for me. =P
    [QUOTE=''Eternal-Entity'']32 hours for me. =P[/QUOTE]

    Mine said like 27hrs, but then I re-loaded, and it said 14hrs, and then the next day when I reloaded it said 25hrs. So Idk how long..25 seems about right.
    It's really long, and there is more than plenty to do in the game, whether you're focusing on Achievements or not. I played it for extensive periods of time for the first two of three days I started playing it, and then finally couldn't help myself and 1000/1000'ed it during a long 10-hour session.
    Im confused. When i look at the DNA, does that mean each Sequence is a chapter? The game looks short then because there is more missions in sequence 1, and it looks like sequence 2 and 3 have less.
    Lol, I leave my games unpaused, so the time accumulates while I eat. =P

    Sources are so overrated. Seriously, everywhere, people are ''cite that, source this'' blah blah blah. This whole source stuff is garbage. People can have correct information, but not remember where they got it (I learned a bunch of stuff that I got an A on my Essay in school for, but I did not read a single book so had no ''ethos'' or citations), and they post it on the forums. If you are looking for a source, go to a scholarly forum.Anyways, The 12.1 amps is the best way to check for Jasper or not.

  • Is my Xbox going to Overheat?

    I bought a refurbished xbox pro for christmas.It seems fine and everything, except when the system is on, the fan is always on. Its not really loud though.However, when I put a game in, it gets louder and i'm afraid its going to overheat. I only have 2 games right now so I just put them on the HD and that eliminated the noise but i can't put ALL my games on the HD when I get more in the future.Am I freaking out over nothing? :\Is my Xbox going to Overheat?
    Just enjoy your gaming man, and chillax :DIs my Xbox going to Overheat?
    It's always going to be on. Downloading to the hard drive allows the fan to not run while playing, but it doesn't really matter if it is, I mean that's what the 360 is made for, to run like a machine. Just don't play it for like 10 hours straight at a time and you'll be good :P
    yes it is. what do i base that off? nothing

    I guess it's safer to install games to HDD to be on the safe site, and you don't need to put ALL the games on it, just a few selected games that you play ;)
    I sure hope you got a warranty with a refurbished console. I wouldn't buy any electronics used without a significant warranty.
    whenever it does this, just pour a tall glass of ice cold water into your Xbox...should clear the problem right up
    I got a refurb back from microsoft after recievingt he RROD, mines makes alot of noise whilst playing games too and also vibrates my whole TV stand too. Dont worry about it though especially if you have a warranty as the customer service is great and i got my 360 back within 10 days of it breaking with 1 months xbox live for free.
    I'm not the kind of gamer to play for hours and hours at once.So I think i'll be alright. XD
    [QUOTE=''theintrospect79'']Just enjoy your gaming man, and chillax :D[/QUOTE]Agreed! Why do people look into stuff so much?!

    The noise if your system overheating. I would advise you to quit playing for a couple of hours and then re play. If you have another storage device, or do not care about save game data, then go ahead, keep playing, and when it overheats, take it in for a warranty covered 360 with bundled games. =P

    [QUOTE=''riccardo90'']anyone know any cheap role playing games for the 360, i'm new to the console i have no idea what to buy and im kinda short on cash; i already have fallout, oblivion and dragon age for the ps3 so i wont buy those again :Pthanks for your help, happy gaming![/QUOTE]
    Cheap and Best : $4.99 in Bestbuy = Enchanted Arms. Great game to play, and easy achievement booster too, since all the achievements are strictly story based. Play the game, and it is physically impossible under any circumstances to miss them.
    Mass Effect!
    Tales of Vesperia and Eternal Sonata are excellent games. Lost Odyssey is good as well, but ToV and ES are far superior in my opinion. You can probably find all 3 for fairly cheap now.

    Mass Effect. Seeing as for ps3 you don't have any jrpgs i am assuming you wouldn't like jrpgs like Lost Odyssey and if you enjoy Fallout, Oblivion, and Dragon Age you will love this.
    Tales of vesperia is the best JRPG around. You can't go wrong here.
    MASS EFFECT-LOST ODDYSEY-TALES OF VESPARIA those are the best rpg on 360 imho.

IMO if you can see 6 exclusives that you really want, then it is worth getting another console. If you can't find atleast 6 you want then it would end up being a very expensive purchase for very few games.

    Alan Wake release date???

    Well, according to Futureshop (electronics store in canada), Alan Wake launches March 31/2010. Not sure how accurate it is. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=%26langid=EN%26sku_id=0665000FS10125802%26catidAlan Wake release date???

    I doubt it, it looks like when Q2 2010 begins, i.e. the current scheduled release date.Alan Wake release date???
    It's just a placeholder. I heard rumors about a May release date....but thats about it.
    Remedy confirmed it for Spring 2010, but an exact date is unknown, but take this into consideration...Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg said on Major Nelson's podcast that they have a console exclusive hitting every month and lists them as ME2, SC: Conviction, Alan Wake, Crackdown 2, etc, which would put Alan Wake in March and Crackdown 2 in April (and he confirms Crackdown 2 for the first half of 2010).
    I can;t wait any longer. Definitely going to buy it.
    Considering it has been floating around in vapourware territory since atleast 2006 you would do well to take any release date as more of a guesstimate rather than an accurate prediction.
    At Gamestop, the book they have says it releases in April...
    When Jesus returns to Earth.
    Soon ;)

    I believe in this, and hope it could be true. Though I thought I remember seeing that METRO 2033 count as a 360 exclusive and will be released in later months.

    Metro 2033 will be coming to PC, or did you mean exclusive as in 360 but not PS3?



    It looks like another STALKER-esque game which should be amazing

    nba live 10 or nba 2k10 which is better?

    im pickin up a bball game today and wonderin which is better, thx.nba live 10 or nba 2k10 which is better?
    I've played both demos, but only own NBA 2k10.. so obviously, that's my choice (personal preference). I would suggest that you download the demo to both titles and also visit the forum for each game on this site. nba live 10 or nba 2k10 which is better?
    I like the 2k serries better so thats what i'm getting come next week. Closest thing to actually bball gameplay if you ask me.
    The NBA 2K series is notorious for having the best simulation of basketball you can find, BUT the glitches and bugs will really upset you (WARNING).NBA Live 10 is still years behind 2K.
    2k is usually the better bball game
    Please use the stickied thread for recommendations. Thanks.

    Xbox 360 Wireless Headset junk ?

    I just bought a Microsoft xbox360 Wireless headset from EB this morning and the lights would not come on to say it was charging ,So I left it plugged in for 6 hours in the xbox360 and still nothing .I tried to charge it on a PC and still no Joy.So I took it back and got another new one and this one is as dead as the 1st one . So I looked around the internet ( should have done that 1st) and found that these things are a complete pile of junk .How is this allowed ?Xbox 360 Wireless Headset junk ?
    mine works perfectly...bought it new thoXbox 360 Wireless Headset junk ?
    Both ones I bought were new in the package $59.99 each .both junk.
    i'm on my third one right now, and second console
    I took the 2nd new one back to the store and they refused to replace it .The store manager has had all this shipment of Wireless headsets returned faulty and he does not have a new one to swap mine out and he refused to give me store credit or a refund . I called Microsoft and they told me to plug it back into my console for another 12 hours ? are you kidding me ,like I want to run my Xbox360 for 12 hours straight and risk rrod just for a wireless headset . I'm disgusted with the whole situation for $59.99 it should be a perfect piece of hardware .
    My wireless headset has worked just fine since I bought it.

But moreover, you don't even need to have your 360 turned on to charge stuff...
    My wireless headset is almost 2 years old and its still working as if I bought it yesterday. Maybe your just unlucky.
    microsoft mics are garabe.get a turtule beach x1
    I bought the Halo wireless headset a year ago and from the second I used it my friends were complaining that I was cutting out, so I switched back and forth between the wired and wireless and without fail the wired worked great and the wireless cut out. I sold the wireless one not shortly after.Also, the Earforce X1's are a terrible suggestion if you just want a headset, the X1's are more effective if you want the game's sound in your ear too.

They die to but last much longer. Thank god I got it from Wal-Mart because they have a 90 day warranty. Those Microsoft wireless headsets are a joke and they are indeed utter crap. Never abused em yada yada.. they just randomly go out.. they either don't charge or power on etc. Hell, I even had a controller start actin up on me a few years ago...a DAMN CONTROLLER! That said, go back to wired or get a turtle beach. I hope Microsoft takes hardware RELIABILITY into HIGH consideration when doing the next xbox and accessories.

    I got mine a year ago and its worked great. Only downside is me forgetting to charge it and it running out during a long gaming session online.



    They charge using the USB cable, so if you are worried about using your 360 to charge it you can always use your PC instead. Anyway if you have it plugged in and charging on your console when you switch the console off your controllers will continue to charge until they are full, then they switch off. In that state your 360 is essentially off, just still giving power to the USB sockets to charge controllers or headsets.
    I think people just treat their products poorly. I have a Zephyr chipset ''prone to failure'' a wireless Xbox headset (that I used to use before I got my X41s) and my original Xbox headset. Nothing has broken on me.
    the xbox ones are garbage. between the fact that they die in very short order, are very expensive for the junk you get and the non-bluetooth connectivity they just arent worth buying. i stick to the turtles now and probably will forever. short of that its the oem wireone. i wish they used bluetooth to connect up like the ps3 but weres the money in that. imagine being able to use any headset you wanted.
