The Old XBOX Megathread

[Maxx]

Ah well, you can join up with me and my IRL friends then.

[EddieRuckus]

I don't like modern war FPS. If Brink is cool/interesting enough, I'll read reviews and see what everyone's opinion is of it, then possibly get it.

[Ruki]

It's in the future!

Plus, this will give me a chance to enjoy a Team Fortress type game....because I completely missed the boat before.

[Benji]

Get it on PS3, Rukington, that's what I'm getting it on, I think. Unless plenty of others get it on 360.

I'll get it if you're getting it for PS3, Benji.

Considering I've just remembered how much our head sets suck, I think we're probably better to get it on 360. I'll get my copy pre-ordered tomorrow

[Maxx]

Benji can finally experience my amazing teamwork!

[Benji]

Benji can finally experience my amazing teamwork!

You can finally experience my amazing ability to dive head first into trouble, with no though to the consequences to myself and the team!

[Maxx]

But...but...that's what I do!

...

[King Ellis]

Benji can take solice in the fact that Maxx wont be around to shout 'BENJI! BENJI! BENJI! BENJI! BENJI!' because he forgot to pick up an item, mainly due to the fact that Maxx will be about 10 miles ahead of Benji doing his best Rambo impression.

[Maxx]

I kill, I kill!

Not sure, that will happen in Brink. It's Team Fortress-esque, and I spent a lot of time as a spy and an engineer in that, so I might do that here as well. Especially since there's no Pyro.

[Ruki]

....I think I might skip renting and just buy it.

It's been awhile since I've bought a game on release day...especially without knowing it will be great. I have a pretty good track record...the last time I got burned was Alpha Protocol

[Maxx]

Well that was entirely your fault, I think you were the only person who thought Alpha Protocol would be good.

[Ruki]

Kaney got it too!

[Maxx]

Kaney doesn't buy games.

Yawn. Another shoot em up. Explain to me how this is any different from TF2.

Oh, you can lay down mines and they blow up if you step off them. Can someone convince me?

[Benji]

Benji can take solice in the fact that Maxx wont be around to shout 'BENJI! BENJI! BENJI! BENJI! BENJI!' because he forgot to pick up an item, mainly due to the fact that Maxx will be about 10 miles ahead of Benji doing his best Rambo impression.

I didn't forget. I just didn't care. Killing zombies > Healing.

[Maxx]

Gametypes are different. Instead of each level being a single objective game, or it just being a straight up death match, you'll be playing multiple objective games at once. You can be doing control points, seek and destroy and king off the hill simultaneously in one match, as different parts of the overall mission.

I also imagine it'll be supported on consoles quite a bit better than TF2 was.

Not expecting a lot of people to get this, especially with LA Noire coming out soon after.

Who wants to waste alot of time on Gears 2 to get the Horde acheivements tonight?

[Baddar]

Just watched a gameplay trailer - it looks quite shit, to be honest.

[King Ellis]

Who wants to waste alot of time on Gears 2 to get the Horde acheivements tonight?

Which ones?

[9 to 5]

Erm, the 50 one on the Dark Corners and one of the snow ones. Of course, I would be more than happy to help out others on easier ones too. Also, I don't need the flamethrower acheivement either. >_>
