Shoulda played it on a harder level.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-03-15, 07:55 AM

methinks you didn't die enough.

WRX06TR · 2007-03-15, 09:17 AM

We beat it on the hardest level available, but we unlocked Titan mode difficulty...and on God of War I it took us about 3 months to beat it on that level...lol...

Nick Koan · 2007-03-15, 09:20 AM

A co-worker of mine is can't shut up about God of War 2. I think I may have to give it a go here in a bit.

If only my other Greek Mythology themed game wasn't taking up so much of my damned time.

Damn. Didn't it come out 2 days ago?

JonnydaJibba · 2007-03-15, 09:28 AM

Yeah wtf? How many hours you think it took you guys?

WRX06TR · 2007-03-15, 09:33 AM

Yea it came out 2 days ago, well my two friends bought it Tuesday night and played for about an hour or 2, i was studying for a chem test. Then yesterday when i got home at 2 they were playing and we just kept switching off playing, and at about 10 we were watching the final credits.

We were all kinda surprised that we beat it and amazed at that we were actually sitting there for so long. I usually cant sit and play a game for more that an hour or two. But it was pretty epic, it looks great and the story is really strong. I think we got through it so quick because we beat God of War I on God Mode like a month ago so we familiar with the controls and used to the difficulty so it was realatively easy.

Double Phister · 2007-03-17, 11:02 AM

I picked up motorstorm last night. It's just like the demo.

I was hoping they fixed the unbelievable load times when picking a vehicle or changing it's color scheme. They didn't. This might have been better if they had an option to install to the HD.

The online stuff seemed like an afterthought. Ridge Racer 7 still seems like the best integration of online stuff even when not 'online'.

Anyway the AI is pretty aggressive at getting even with you so you do fair better to leave them alone.

Still a good game once your are playing.

A1337STI · 2007-03-26, 06:39 PM

Crack down is kinda fun, my buddy has that.

i bought NFS carbon 2 days ago. beat it. its fun if you want an unrealistic i can drive in 'free roam mode' game. i wish some one would come out with a game with GT4 type realism (and number of cars) but maybe in the NFS free roam format. i like the drive to the event feel of it.

Kinda harsh that i finally got (sorta) used to GTR2 and then hopped to NFS . but eh, that's me.
anyone ever try the GTR2 online btw ?

Probably old news, but the XBox360 elite is official...

http://www.trustedreviews.com/gaming...te-Official/p1

120GB drive, HDMI, no 65nm processor... Looks like holding out for an XB360 paid off!

Nick Koan · 2007-03-28, 05:42 PM

Not that old of news. I think it broke this morning

If it had the smaller die chips or the HD-DVD drive built in, I think I'd do it. For now, though, I'm still going to be waiting.

I don't think the HD-DVD will ever be built in. Those drives are still friggen bank to produce. By the time they're affordable enough to be standard equipment in the machine, the XBox720 will be out.

Nick Koan · 2007-03-28, 06:00 PM

True, on Blu-Ray might win too. In fact, a MS exec was quoted saying that if Blu-Ray does win in this generation, they'll probably produce an external drive for the 360.

Still, I just needed a little something more for that price. I don't know what, but something more than just the humongo hard drive and an HDMI port.

It's not much more expensive than the premium XB360, is it? Hell, it comes with an HDMI cable... that's $100 right there if you're dumb enough to buy your cables from Best Buy.

They announced it a long time ago. One other thing that it has that Scott didn't mention is it will have IPTV something or other which is like a Tivo type dealy.

Nope, it was officially announced this morning. Its been rumored for months. And it won't have IPTV support.

EDIT: err.. yesterday.

Microsoft's Official Press Release, dated 3/27/2007

tysonK · 2007-03-28, 09:13 PM

I'll probably buy one. No that it is announced offically.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-03-29, 07:15 AM

Alright, well not to nitpick, but it was in last months Game Informer. Maybe not the "official" press release, but it definately was a confirmation on it's release.

For a new Xbox and it supposedly being "elite," it's seriously lacking the goods.

Nick Koan · 2007-03-29, 07:39 AM

Yeah, its been a lot of places since the beginning of the year (most likely intentionally leaked) but the official release wasn't till a few days ago. And the real specs weren't available till the official release. Everyone knew it was coming out, it was just a question of when, how much and with what extras.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-02, 01:15 PM

One more day...

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-04, 07:29 AM

Man am I glad I bought Guitar Hero. Only now I have to wait to see which and how many songs they will release for download (none so far).

MikeK · 2007-04-09, 08:58 AM

Command and Conquer 3 is officially stealing my life.

You should cut that shit out and come race rFactor online w/ me and some of the NASIOC guys... it sounds like we're going to be setting up a weekly pick-up race on Wed. nights.

MikeK · 2007-04-09, 10:35 AM

I never got around to buying rFactor (or GTLegends or GTR). If you start playing GTR2 I will definatly join in.
