Douche4Sale posted:Geez, I only played about 3-4 hours of it, but Destiny feels really soulless and derivative. I mean I understand developers have influences and styles, but having it immediately start up and have you constantly accompanied by a floating orb robot was fairly eye-roll worthy. It amazes me that people are still surprised to learn that Bungie is only capable of making the same game over and over.

Only since 2001. Before that they made a variety of games.

I would have liked Too Human if it'd had more small levels instead of five* levels so huge I was honestly sick of each of them by the time i got halfway through. Which is a shame because the controls, setting and upgrade system are pretty fun. The level design just drags so goddamn much the first time I played it I gave it up halfway through the elf level. * frost giants, elves, hub, ygdrassil & hell if I remember, though there might have been one more.

Yeah, but I always heard that the excuse for that was that Microsoft was riding them like the cash cow they were and wasn't allowing them the freedom to diversify and follow their inspiration and true vision and other cliches. Then, they get practically a blank check from Activision and the chance for a fresh start and make HaloLands. It's just sort of baffling.

Champion was fun as gently caress but it actually made my hands tired because there was so much air-juggling involved. 1000/1000 achievements baby, no regrets (except that they shouldn't have angled to make it a trilogy) coyo7e fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Jul 25, 2014 |

The visuals weren't one of the weak points of Too Human, it was a great-looking game and was going for the same sort of amalgam of sci-fi and mythology. The weak points were everything else.

Too Human (as well as X-Men Destiny) was proof positive that Eternal Darkness really was saved by Nintendo's intervention. gently caress Dennis Dyack.

He said he didn't know about the development + advertising budget. Activision is pumping a lot into it because they expect it to be a franchise-starter. It's probably really bloated on the advertising perspective but still a crazy-costly game and not one they're going to take risks with.

What he presumably meant is that it looks better, but only marginally, which might very well be true because the last couple of Halo games in the original series look drat impressive.

I played the beta for about 4 hours today (reached level cap on a warlock) and I can't wait for the full game. The guns feel really good to me, especially the scout rifles, and the leveling and customization looks like it could produce some fun combinations. I've only played a couple PVP matches but it seemed good enough for me. I like that the character is the same in single and multiplayer so you could really make your guy play in specific ways for every situation. Probably going to run through it with the other 2 classes but so far I'm really having a lot of fun with it. My only complaint is that I can't level up a few more times

Wow, now that the xbone is out, there are some good 360 deals to be had. I picked up gears of war for $0.89 and gow2 for $2 at the local gamestop. Never played either, but for that price, why not? Also bully and beautiful katamari, both of which own, but did unfortunately cost more than $2.89

I was playing the Destiny beta earlier too. Very nice I thought, the guns are satisfying, the enemies admittedly are a bit generic gameplay wise but they look nice and there are some decent wrinkles like the Fallen captains teleporting a short distance away when they take a lot of damage. I liked the environments too, there seemed to be something happening all the time due to the shared world, I just wish there was more of the public events both in terms of frequency and variety, I saw 5 total, 1 walker tank, two satellites and two "kill this guy before he gets away" missions. My only gripe is the public beta was pretty short and the servers are still a bit unreliable.

I think it's really really funny that they decided to basically re-skin Halo and make a sequel that one ups Halo4 in every possible way.

My Xbox 360 is finally dying and I want to get a new one. Is there a 250 GB console version that has a built-in wireless adapter, or would I be forced to buy a stand-alone adapter no matter what?

Sheesh I guess I should feel lucky that the only problem with mine is that the disc drive stops working temporarily every so often. It's about 5 years old at this point, so while it has seen a lot of action, Microsoft had fixed most of the hardware issues by the time mine was made.

I'm pretty sure most of the red ring issues were resolved by the time the fat HDMI Arcade models came out, and while it may have happened I've never heard of a slim red-ringing.

You can, or if you dont have one you can transfer pretty much everything with a USB drive. Never used the transfer kit, but I did use a USB drive when my old xbox disk drive died. But to be fair, my old 360 only had a 20Gb HD, so it wasnt like there was that much to transfer.

I bought Injustice and the season pass, but I can't access any of the season pass content. It unlocks Lobo, Batgirl, Scorpion and Zod, but all those characters are grayed out in character select in all modes and I can't select them. In the DLC menu, all these characters and the season pass have a checkmark next them, indicating that I have downloaded them. I can't find anything online describing this issue. Anybody else run into this?

So for some weird reason I seem to have $71 on my account. What's worth buying? DLCs, Arcade games, Full titles? Apart from GTA5 and State Of Decay I haven't bought poo poo from XBL for ages. Just throw stuff at me and I'll look.
