  • The CoD4 beta is letting loads of people in soon

    Yup, agree'ing with Mazy.

    Downloaded it earlier and tried it out. Loved it, a bit hard at first though.

    The game got evil on me... fast. My team got crapped on because the other team had air support and a chopper flying around shooting everything to tits. But all in all, the 360's CoD 4 MP plays a lot better than the 360's CoD 3 MP.

    One thing I like about this beta as well, there are not as much kids playing using their headsets like in Gears of War. Probably because they can't figure out how to get in the beta. ^^

    Any Live users up for a round sometime?

    09/12 04:31: Those of you posting about Chuck Norris and Starcraft being God need to recognize that you are practicing Idolatry, because the only God is the God of the Bible, and the Bible warns in Revelation 21:8 that idolaters will have their part in the Lake of burning Fire and Brimstone, so you'd better repent of your sins, stop worshipping idols, and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, because if you don't, you're going to the Lake of Fire.

    lmao

    These Antigamer people don't have a clue, do they?

  • Time to move on..

    Those jokes are worse than Shadows mapping

    Worse than your screenshot which you showed me earlier? I don't think so!

    Congratulations FrieChamp. Personally I don't think I could get myself to do something like that. Respect.

    Same for Heavenly Sword, Blue Dragon and Folklore. Is someone going to make a next-gen game that's actually fun?

    Blue Dragon is great.

    But it doesn't surprise me the American reviews it gets are bad. Blue Dragon is a great JRPG, and many people can't appreciate those kind of games. Mainly because they're not used to them. Which is why its doing excellent in Japan even though the 360 sales aren't everything they should be over there. JRPG's almost a genre on their own really.

    The demo doesn't do it justice though.

    ":n0ue88s5]Omg! Awesome! Any clue who did it?

    Btw, I never played Vampires: Bloodlines, is it any good? xD

    I think Zaphod made it. There's also a clock in the intro of the game, and the brand name is Zaphod. Hehe, I haven't seen him on Mapcore in a while though.

    And yeah, its an awesome game if you ignore many bugs.

    Did anyone ever notice this?

    I've played through Vampires: Bloodlines twice, and I never noticed this before. Was playing it again earlier today and suddenly the bottle of rum on the shelf caught my eye.

    Oh that Zaphod!

  • I'm pretty much done with any modern PC games...

    I bought a 360 Premium about two days ago.

    Rainbow Six: Las Vegas, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Lost Planet and Bioshock have all been games I've been wanting to play on my PC for a long time now. But they just don't run since my x800 doesn't support Shader Model 3.0.

    Upgrading my videocard would mean I'd best get a PCI-E card, but that would mean getting a new motherboard. If you upgrade one thing, you always wind up practically buying an all new rig.

    So I got the 360 Premium (the Elite isn't worth it, unless you want the 120gb HDD for media storage and HDMI). The console also dropped in price recently, which makes it a nice purchase.

    So far I'm enjoying life. ^^ Bioshock plays great, even with a controller. The game looks amazing, I was just stunned how well the 360 was rendering the graphics. That was using component cables on the TV. Now my 360 is hooked up by an HD VGA cable on my 22" Widescreen, and everything looks even sharper.

    While a controller might not be a mouse and keyboard, it does have it upsides. For example, last night I tried the MoH: Airborne demo from the Live Marketplace, and the atmosphere in that game is amazing. Add up the fact that you can feel your gun shooting because of the vibrating controller (which makes the experience even more massive). Then add the fact, that thanks to the analog sticks you can actually peek around corners much better and softer. On a PC its usually "Press A and E to peek left and right". And when you do, your character sticks full blown out of the corner as if he was doing calisthenics. Also walking and running can be done a lot smoother with a controller.

    But yes, granted. Aiming isn't always that great. And I can't see myself playing an RTS with a controller. But that doesn't mean a controller is "that" bad in the end. Not with singleplayer games anyway...

  • That other BioShock thread

    I just bought a 360 and Bioshock (+ Blue Dragon) today. Mainly since my x800 card wasn't able to run Bioshock (SM2.0b card).

    Loving the game so far, I was a bit skeptic at first if I really wanted to play Bioshock (or any shooter really) on a console. But the controller feels really smooth. I was adjusted to playing with it in under 5 minutes to be honest. I like how you can do the soft smooth movements using the analog stick. But also aim pretty fast at the same time.

    Quite happy with my expensive bunch of purchases today. ^^

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    Quote from Psycho

    I wouldn't have a problem playing as a nazi soldier. Why would I? The war ended long ago and times have changed. I don't see why people would be offended by a game with nazis.

    Yeah, if your just playing as a German soldier it would be pretty cool.

    In the end, all soldiers are just peons, they do what their country asks them to do. Back then, If things were different? A lot of German soldiers had as much in common as the Allied soldiers. Probably could have been great friends as well.

    Many multiplayer games already do it, but I'd love to see it in a singleplayer storyline.

    This is why I loved the movie "Letters From Iwo Jima". It took the whole war theme, and put it from the Japanese perspective. And it constantly has you thinking "Damn, those Japanese soldiers were crazy." A few minutes later "Damn, those Japanese soldiers were really kind as well.". And the same thing happens in the movie with the American troops. At one point you see their friendly, kind and liberating side. A few minutes later they're just as bad as the other side.

    Oh well, going a bit off-topic here I suppose. ^^ But this should really happen more often with videogames.
