I find it hilarious that the mini blades are still sluggish, maybe even more than the blades pre-update. It's like they really wanted to capture everything about the old system in there for better or worse.

fuck

MCD · « **Reply #126 on:** November 18, 2008, 08:49:27 AM »

bought my 360 because some guy i know told me to, never owned an xbox and i didn't like shooters but gears changed me.

and i have more japanese games on it than the ps3 lol.

You guys are the reason Microsoft still holds on to RARE! YOU FOOLS!

I troll Rare at every opportunity, but at this point it's kind of pointless. The only remaining Rare fans are British ultra-nationalists and the few man-children who aren't Wii only.

part of mine too.

I got PDZ, Kameo, CoD2, and Condemned at launch. CoD2 and Condemned made up for the other two.

Banjo Nuts and Bolts is actually good, plus the Banjo XBLA port is great. Rare isn't totally shit, but I do think that they are the absolute worst developer that has a vocal fanbase (I'd say Sonic fans, but they aren't people)

And while Rare is good on the technical front, I do find it funny that as technology has improved, their games have been looking worse and worse in the art department because they can capture their original designs more closely. It's really a shame.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #130 on:** November 18, 2008, 12:10:02 PM »

I need to finish Fallout 3 before I can begin to appreciate Nuts and Bolts. That's a game I need to dedicate all of my time to.

demi · « **Reply #131 on:** November 18, 2008, 12:21:33 PM »

Banjo XBLA was done by some place called 4J Studios

cool breeze · « **Reply #132 on:** November 18, 2008, 12:56:41 PM »

reading up on what they've done in the past I see that they're responsible for the good Oblivion PS3 port

It's good to know that they aren't linked to Rare so their mad porting skills can be used for others. Crash Team Racing on PSN would be awesome.

Pfft, Microsoft will just pull Windows from Vaio computers.

In all seriousness though, there's an argument to be made about Sony seemingly not being capable of even getting the green light to put their own movies up on PSN. I'd wager this has more to do with that than any combined effort by Sony to torpedo Microsoft.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #137 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:24:30 PM »

Yeah, Sony is a classic Japanese 'Mr. Left Hand, meet Mr. Right Hand' company. Check out its bizarre history of trying to sell music online for an example. Different departments ended up competing with each other in hardware, software and content - just a staggering waste of resources that let Apple walk away with the whole pie.

drohne · « **Reply #138 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:29:27 PM »

uh, so if they're going to cockblock microsoft, how about giving us netflix streaming on ps3

i'd rather watch movies on a console that doesn't sound like a hairdryer with strepthroat

and HOLY SHIT DOES THE NEW DASH SUCK. on the one hand it's pushing a pathetic pseudowii approach, and on the other hand it's overpushing all these shitty xbl features that could only impress marketing executives. absolutely everything relevant is on the 'my xbox' tier -- but it launches on some worthless online promotional tier, and dedicates another tier to worthless 'events.'

play gears 2 with a dutch pop singer or something! no fucking thanks!

demi · « **Reply #139 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:34:53 PM »

Yeah I am not a fan of it either, I imagine they are just trying to bring in the more community feel (which falls flat on its face)

drohne · « **Reply #140 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:37:23 PM »

it prioritizes advertisements over THE FUCKING GAME YOU'VE GOT IN THE DRIVE. it's so grotesquely assbackwards that i'm tempted to credit the ninthings who see hd consoles as unfocused trojan horses for stupid corporate initiatives

i'm weirdly fond of pottering around in console GUIs, but i'm setting my 360 to launch from the drive at startup

demi · « **Reply #141 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:37:54 PM »

I'll deal with the lame navigation if the tradeoff is the smoothness of it, and the awesome mini-blades

CurseoftheGods · « **Reply #142 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:43:48 PM »

I don't care for the new OS. I just want the game installs option.

Bildi · « **Reply #143 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:54:14 PM »

I don't even have enough room on my 20GB 360 hard drive to install one game, even if I delete all videos and demos.

I have a 120GB, but it's a Christmas present so I'll have to wait.

cool breeze · « **Reply #144 on:** November 18, 2008, 10:57:32 PM »

Banjo loads faster and is not quiet (in terms of 360, still loud, but much better than before)

drohne · « **Reply #148 on:** November 18, 2008, 11:05:14 PM »

how is 'spotlight' fine? it's basically interstitial advertising on a game console

MCD · « **Reply #149 on:** November 18, 2008, 11:06:23 PM »

oops, sorry.

i forgot that one.

it would have been better if we get dedicated arcade and community games channels instead of this.

demi · « **Reply #150 on:** November 18, 2008, 11:06:50 PM »

If you go on Inside Xbox, it plays the trailer to The Day Earth STood Still right there in real time. I think that is pretty cool in itself.

It looks flashy but so far I'm not really liking it. It's like it's made for Wii/SD screens, not much information is displayed in one screen/level.

i like the game details stuff - having install, descriptions, DLC, achievements etc all together. very nice

You can browse Marketplace from xbox.com now - I DL'd the new arcade demo just for kicks

Btw, if you accept the new ToS, it seems to erase your Gamerpic, so be sure to re-apply it.

There really needs to be a way to rate and give feedback on community games. It's going to be impossible to know what is good and what sucks in a week without having to download every single game.
