So I'm finally getting around to playing Dead Rising 2. I bought a copy of the game used off eBay for like $15. My Xbox360 recognizes the disc just fine, and launches the game just fine, but when I try to install the disc to my harddrive it gets to 4% complete and stops, saying the disc can't be read. I checked the disc and it looks to be in excellent condition, I couldn't see any major scratches. I don't have problems installing other games to my harddrive, either. I'm just worried that I'm going to start playing the game, get a ways into it, and then the disc will stop working or something. Thoughts? Should I just return the game and get a refund from the seller? He's already agreed to one if I want one, no hassle.

You also get one Port Crystal late in the game that you can place anywhere in the world and warp to using a Ferrystone. Those are your only two options. You get used to it soon. 2. Hire some pawns a few levels above you, but not too much.

I bought Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions on the sale. I'm pretty damned impressed. The web slinging and combat work pretty damned well now that I've gotten used to it.

I'm going to try to wipe out the rest of my backlog in December. This is what it looks like right now: Disc: Assassin's Creed: Revelations The Witcher 2 Forza 4 Aliens: Colonial Marines (played for a few hours and the game seems to have lost my save? lol) Splinter Cell: Blacklist Gears of War: Judgment Digital: Conan Dark Void Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands The Last Remnant 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (in progress, it's been a long time since I last played, but I remember fighting two big mechs?) DLC: Borderlands 1: General Knoxx Started playing Conan again yesterday, just killed the Elephant Demon. No idea how long the game is, but it's been a pretty basic beat-em-up so far. Kinda relaxing, really. I hope to either finish it or at the very least blow through a large chunk tonight. I'm tracking my progress here

FYI you can one-shot gorillas in the caves you just beat with rocks, or just spam-throw trash weapons off the ground at them while they're offscreen. Those things were more obnoxious than the guys with spiked shields.  c

Planning my Xbox 360 purchase down the line, got a basic list of what I want to get but since I play multiplats on PS3 (Except for ports I've heard are terribad like Skyrim and Fallout which I will most certainly try) is this list up to scratch if I wanna make the most out of it? Gears Of War (1 through to Judgement in order of release) Halo (Never played the series before, are 1 and 2 available on 360?) Forza Horizon or 4 (Or will both be good to get, don't want the games to be too similar) Fable series Viva Pinata Kameo: Elements Of Power Skyrim Fallout 3 and New Vegas Crackdown Is this a good list to get the most out of a new (old) system?

Gears of war 1 is currently free if you have xbox live gold. All of the halos work on the 360, go with whatever is cheapest. The order of the story is halo wars, reach, 1, 2, odst, 3, 4 if you care. Skip kameo, it is only an ok game. If you are not a hardcore racing fan get horizon, if you are get 4.

coyo7e posted:You're pretty far, probably half or more. If you're not on the higher difficulties you should be able to first-time most of the bosses. Nice, sounds good. I've killed all the bosses in one or two attempts so far, so I'm probably playing on Normal. Heh, I guess I should have tried to use rocks more against the gorillas, I killed most of them by attacking a few times and then rolling away before they started another long air-punch combo. Definitely the most annoying enemy so far. Temascos: Be certain to get the versions of the Fallout games that include the DLC, they have 4-5 each. New Vegas' is especially good. Also, get Alan Wake. feraltennisprodigy fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 1, 2013 |

Halo Anniversary is basically just an HD version of Halo 1 so you could start with that one. Forza Horizon is pretty different from all the other Forza games - it's a lot of fun, but doesn't have nearly as much depth or longevity as Forza 4, so you may want both. From what I understand, the second Viva Pinata game (Trouble in Paradise) makes the first one pretty much redundant, so you should probably just go with that one and skip the original.

I'd say scratch off Kameo and add Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, in my opinion it's still the best 360 exclusive (disclaimer, I'm not the biggest fan of shooters).

I am downloading Gears of War even though I've forgotten everything about the original besides the maps. Do you still hip fire the shotgun instead of aiming like Gears 3?

Eurogamer did a really great Rare retrospective a while back. Basically Rare was never quite able to adapt to the changes arising from the Microsoft acquisition as well as the larger changes in the gaming industry.

What really sucks is that I doubt that Perfect Dark (the original) will ever make the transition to the XBone. The XBLA version is the best ever, and more people should play it.

Part of this was the public in large didn't really give a poo poo about Viva Pinata or Nuts and Bolts or whatever, they were really good games but went pretty much unnoticed.

Hat Thoughts posted:Part of this was the public in large didn't really give a poo poo about Viva Pinata or Nuts and Bolts or whatever, they were really good games but went pretty much unnoticed. Both should be part of the free game program. With the extreme popularity of Minecraft, you'd think people would be into building the gently caress out of things these days. The more I play the Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions game, the more impressed I am. All four of the different dimensions play similarly, but different enough to not be boring. The first 2099 stage was loving nuts with the level long, intermittent battle with Hobgoblin. Based on the first Noir level anyway, the stealth works way better than I thought it would (it was really cool how it worked in the boss fight. I like the linear, yet wide/semi-open levels. The first person fighting thing is completely unnecessary (but at least doesn't show up very often).

I ran out of HDMI ports after getting a PS4 and just realized I still have my old component cables for 360. Any reason I shouldn't just use those? I don't really care about audio quality much and I don't remember the 360 looking much better on HDMI than component cables when I first switched them out.

Not every TV can do 1080p over component, but probably doesn't matter, assuming you don't have a receiver.

Damnit - I hate when they don't include the DLC in these promos. All i wanted was some cheap Dark Souls DLC. I wish DLC had a sort of default 'curve' to it's pricing over time - like it dropped by 25 percent every 6 months or something. Not specific to DkS, but it's really silly when you can buy a 'full' game for 5 or 10 bucks and then see that it has 20 or 30 dollars worth of DLC!!!

I was hoping to spend the last 8 months of my current Xbox Live subscription playing GTA Online and COD Ghosts, but I don't like either one so its time to go through my backlog: Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Blue Dragon DeBlob 2 Enchanted Arms Elder Scrolls Oblivion Fable 2 Fable 3 Forza 2 (I'm currently playing this game) Forza 3 Gears of War 3 GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City GTA V (I stopped playing singleplayer after I collected all the collectables needed for 100% completion) Halo Wars Infinite Undiscovery Kameo Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Lost Planet 2 Mass Effect 2 (I think I'm almost done with this one) Mass Effect 3 Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Prince of Persia Red Dead Redemption + Undead Nightmare Risen 2 Rock Band 1, 2, and 3 Silent Hill Homecoming Viva Pinata WarTech: Senko Ronde I think this will keep me busy for quite some time. This list doesn't even include all my unplayed XBLA games or Games on Demand titles. Neo Helbeast posted:Wendigo, here are your highlights Are you planning on doing this again?

Managed to pick up one of those 99 dollar 4GB 360 E's that Amazon had with the gift cards I got from Best Buy for trading in my launch era 360. The difference between the two models is astounding. The new model is extremely quiet, and the power brick is much lighter and smaller than the original. I actually ended up making money by upgrading, the network adapter and the VGA cable went to Gamestop (no need for either anymore) in exchange for another Amazon card. so I pretty much ended up getting paid to upgrade my 360.

So, I don't know where else to ask this, but I see an xbox live gold year deal for 39.99, but nothing happens when I try to purchase it. Did they take the deal down but not update the dashboard or something?

welcome posted:How is the 360 port of The Witcher 2? I seem to remember hearing about technical problems but it may have been my imagination. It has some notable texture pop-in, and areas that are single zones on the PC got divided on 360. It's still a really impressive port, and the issues are all pretty minor, especially if you haven't played on PC.

Far Cry 3 is pretty good, got it for cheap, and am loving it. I of course spent my time immediately maxing out my ability to hold weapons and told the main plot to gently caress off before realizing that the main plot missions unlock your skill tree.
