2 free XBLA games up - Harms Way and Doritos Crash Course
Harms Way is developed by Stoked developer Bongfish
-
Any good? Easy 200/200?
The last Doritos game was pretty decent I thought.
-
No idea... only added them to queue here at the office
-
Watching video of the Doritos one. It's a platformer, probably easy to fuck up than the car game they tried last time.
One of the cheevs requires you to play with someone on your friend's list. You also need to get all golds for another cheev, that might not be easy.
Harm's Way looks like easy 200 though

That piece of shit racing game? No.
-
For $0? It kicked the shit out of Yaris
-
Oh wait, I was thinking of Yaris. :lol
-
Yeah, Yaris was donkeyblowing claptrap. I'm a hoooor for free 'cheevs, but even I couldn't be bothered to endure that. :yuck
-
I got the 200/200 for Yaris. :smug
I downloaded these games and the new Bomberman. Gonna try them later.
-
I just need to grind out the million in Yaris... but i'm in no rush :whistle
-
Can't find a match in Harm's Way.
-
Yeah, Yaris was donkeyblowing claptrap. I'm a hoooor for free 'cheevs, but even I couldn't be bothered to endure that. :yuck
Not to mention they didn't even have the common decency to make the Yaris an easy 200/200.
-
they're both pretty fun
-
Free, AND achievements? :drool
-
I never played Dino Dash becasue I hate doritos :-\
-
Me and a friend just tried Harm's Way. It's great for a free game. We'll most likely be playing it in the evening.
-
Free, AND achievements? :drool
I know right. I'll take that over a handjob any day.
-
Here is the doritos game.

Harm's way is kinda bad ass. Especially for a free title. Surprisingly fun with a neat gimmick.

Basically its a racing game with power-ups but you're paired up with a sniper.
-
hoo baby! free gamerscore! I'll get these when I get home
-
:lol
-
nothing beats a bit of good old cheevo whorin
-
I think I still need the first Doritos multiplayer cheev.
Will get these tonight when I get home.

Dash of Destruction only has local multi anyway, boost it with a second controller
-
I just played the Doritos obstacle course game for like 30 minutes in a 4 man party. It's fun too. Good job MS.
Unfortunately I can't get into a multiplayer game in Harm's Way.

I like the narrator's voice, very much should be her "HUMONGOUS, THE AYATOLLAH, OF ROCK 'N ROLLA!"

Will get these tonight when I get home.
Someone here posted that you can even plug in a guitar controller if you don't have an additional standard controller. It's easy-peasy.
-
Harm's Way seems to be borked, I can't find a match at all. 50GS is locked away unless you can get multiplayer going. I guess you can get some of that doing local.
-
Crash Course is decent, a fun platformer for sure. I've been lol'ing at the butthurt cheevo whores on x360a who are finding it "too hard". So much upset because the game doesn't shit out the points as so they have so desired for so long. Fuckin noobs

wow, that was great. free game with almost better graphics than Motorstorm

Yeah really unfortunate because it seems like what that game is all about. Probably some bug in the code because I know enough people have it to at least get a single game going.
-
Yo, fuck crash course, ha ha. That game is insane.
lol.
Some of the later levels are pretty tricky at least the first time. We were laughing as we died our asses off on some of them.
I've honestly bought worse XBLA games than either title in the past and played them less. So for free and cheevs not a bad evening.
-
yeah me and mojo just ran through all the stages for the achievement. The later levels get pretty nuts with lots of deaths, but with a bit of practice I reckon I can 200 this. The gameplay kinda reminds of Splosion Man for some reason. A solid game for free.
-
got gold in the first 9 levels in Crash Course, 6 more to go. Game is actually pretty addicting and fun
-
The very end of the last USA level in Crash Course sucks a giant wang. It's fun otherwise.
Harms way is dead boring single player but would be great multi I think.

Surprised yall are enjoying both... maybe I will hop on to them tonight. Trying to squeeze out Shaun White Skate... now that game is garbage.

I think free and achievements help. But I actually think the crash course game is kind of fun in multiplayer. You could tell Jeff and Ryan did also. Harm's Way is mostly broken right now with the online situation as playing that single player isn't really good.

Man, you are not kidding.
-
:lol @ people bitching about Crash Course's difficulty. It's hard, but it never feels impossible.
-
Beezy, you have to get used to people being below you... it was hard for me at first to come to terms with too
-
Fits snug as bug

omg the platforming game is awesome, it's like a simpler, easier, Ching Chong Beautiful. AND I GET TO PLAY AS MY AVATAR JOANNA DARK. BONERTIME.
EDIT: Yes, Crash Course. Amazing for free. <3 Doritos.
-
omg this is like a wet dream.
btw I'm raping all your scores. Suck it down.
-
have you beaten my scores?
-
have you beaten my scores?
All of the USA ones, since those are the only ones I've done. Kiss the tip.
[youtube=560,345]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GwhQsLzZus[/youtube]
EDIT: Ranked 320 on the last USA stage.
-
good job. I'm not going back to try and beat your scores, I'm just going to get 200 then delete this turd
-
Kiss Chew the tip.
:-X
-
:rofl
I'm actually really enjoying this game, btw. Definitely better than eating a bag of Doritos.
-
I ate some buffalo/ranch mixed flavor doritos today and almost threw up.
:piss Doritos
-
Seriously, shit is so gross.
-
I do like Cheese Supreme Doritos I have to admit
I like Doritos by default for these free games. Thanks for the gamerscore assholes, lmfao
-
I am not ashamed to say I love the taste of CHEEZ. :bow Doritos :bow2
-
I'm embarassed to ask but who did I play Crash Course with earlier today? I checked the gamertag thread and didn't see it! WHO ARE YOU?!?
-
these doritos are awesome

Someone get cheevs with me in the racing game.

If you wait about 30 minutes I'll do it with ya ;)
-
I LITERALLY just threw controller trying to gold medal Europe 5. Fuck this game
-
Oh, for Harm's Way you can get all the multi cheevs in splitscreen with only one controller, except the 10-point one for joining a match. That's impossible without a friend invite.
-
If anyone is playing the racing game tonight, invite me. I need that achievement. Also, I'll only be playing gunner.
-

The earlier stages were really well designed, but some of the later stages are kind of lame. Too much forced waiting around.
-

Oh man, got to this stage. What a fucking buzzkill. I haven't even gotten to the end because I want to make an entire run without a single mistake, and I'm unable to do it. The part near the beginning with the random colored drop-away panels is fucking DUMB.
-
especially cos its random and you cant actually get to the panel in time if its over the other side.
I just run the stage near-flawless and got a gold with 2 seconds to spare.
Japan will be even rougher.
Still, it's good that they made the last couple of achievements hard. it seperates the cheevo whoring men from the boys
-
Crash Course is awesome. Just played through USA and Europe and got the gold medals. Gonna play some Naruto now, but I'll be back for Glorious Nippon later.
Pretty great for a free game. Better than Mario.
-
crash course is shockingly great. legit surprised.
-
It's legitimately hard; I like it, I'm not complaining, but I'm also pretty sure I don't have the patience or motor skills to get Gold on most courses.
-

Neither do I but it was just fun to play most of them. Unlike Trials HD I didn't hit that curve where it just became impossible or overly frustrating for me to play.
-
Doritos are delicious. Put them in a bowl, squeeze some lemon on them, put some jalapenos and valentina hot sauce on them and you're in fucking heaven.
-
Got the 200/200 on Crash Course. Not too bad, only took a few hours. Awesome game though, easily one of the best free games I've ever played.
:bow 360, home of all the best platformers

Wouldnt it be better to just do this with regular Tortilla Chips?
-
got 200/200 in Crash Course 8) the only really bad levels were Europe 5 (due to all the paintball shit) and Japan 4 (because there was a lot of ultra-precise parts). Pretty cool game for free.
-
Sceneman babysat me through the "complete all levels on Live" Achievement. He was blazing through while I was hammer and paintball smashed through the whole thing. The Scenester is a monster.

New content on marketplace now: 160 spacebux. Paid DLC for a free game? Think of it as IAP for a good game.
-
No thanks

Apparently either the title update, save data, or DLC messes with this Achievement.
I pulled a 1:38, and it didn't pop. Deleted the title update and DLC, struggled repeatedly, and got 1:36 while offline -- still didn't pop.
Now I've reinstalled the title update but no DLC, but I was so riddled with adrenalin that I couldn't pull off a couple of the shortcuts, and I'm still not sure if it will pop. Apparently I may need to delete everything and reinstall to get these to pop.
:maf :maf :'(
-
I got it down to 1:31 this morning, offline, still didn't pop.

Cleared my cache and am trying again.
Interesting datapoint: XBLA previously downloaded only the base game, but now auto downloads the title update with the game.
Also, though I deleted this game from all storage devices, cleared my cache, and re-downloaded it, deleted the title update which forces me to play offline, it is unclear why the game still knows my previous best times. I'm missing data somewhere, and it is driving me bonkers.
Jesus.
-
Cleared cache and restored profile also no help. Fuck me to tears.
-
Sounds good, think I'll start up the game and get the achievement real quick.
-
:lol
If you manage it, tell me how. I can get under 1:40 with effort, but am losing my will to play. This is remarkably frustrating.

lmao look at my tin ass score, 0.05 seconds slower and I woulda missed out on the cheev
Sucks to hear its glitching for you :(
-
Yeah. Not sure what to do.
I pinged a few recent winners on TA.com and they confirmed that they unlocked the Achievement before doing any DLC stuff. Others confirmed that they, like me, are seeing race times even when they're not connected to XBL, and were starting the game with a restored profile and a new save game. It seems like the data is possibly stored in the GamerTag?
Some Xbox Ambassador on the official forum said that Behaviour is working on a patch, which I wouldn't believe, except that I previously wouldn't have believed in for-pay DLC for a free game two years after launch. And yet: City Lights.
We'll see.
In other news, you were right about Leela. Love 5 with no Negative Energy is a fool's errand.
-
Xbox Ambassadors dont know shit, they're just regular people
Some information is stored on Gamertag as well. I had Dark Void glitch on me for an achievement, and since its tied to my tag, I can never get it. Ever.
-
Yeah, I kind of figured. I trust information from you more than that guy. Thanks.
-
Clearing my Xbox cache also ended up deleting my double fine action theater progress, which I'd gained from a friends copy at his house. So now my Kinect PlayFit progress has been diminished thanks to crash course!
-
Crash Course has been updated; two major bugs are apparently addressed.
I unlocked Sore Ha Kantan Desu last night by finishing an unrelated level. It checked my best time on the server, and popped the 'cheevo for me.
I'm going to get the Going For Gold 'cheevo, and then delete the game with extreme prejudice.
-
I'm tempted to buy the DLC :/
-
It's pretty "meh" overall. I'm guessing these were minor modifications to their old engine while they ran up their ideas and plans for CC2. There is not a lot of content in the DLC, especially compared to CC2, but it was fun enough at the time... until it ruined my ability to get the other Achievements, and I thought it would never be patched. :-\
-
Doritos Crash Course: FUCK Europe 4 and 5 right in their ears.
I blew through USA 1 through 5, got Gold on my first run for each of them. Europe 1-3, too, thanks to some lucky breaks. But the last two levels there are ball busters.
-
DONE.
(http://i.imgur.com/KKCOR2L.png)
Jesus, Japan 3 wasn't nearly as bad as the two Europe troublemakers. Japan 5 was a cakewalk in comparison -- though it's not like it didn't take me a bazillion tries.
Done. So, so done. Started 12 December, 2010, ended today. Game is deleted from the hard disk. A great, wonderful, insanely frustrating game. I am ecstatic.
