Spiderman Web of Shadows

Looking for feedback on the game that was just released today, 21Oct2008.Spiderman Web of Shadows
BUMPSpiderman Web of Shadows
Yeah I went looking for the game at some stores near my house, but none of them had them :( I was pretty mad
[QUOTE=''Mcderby4'']Yeah I went looking for the game at some stores near my house, but none of them had them :( I was pretty mad[/QUOTE]
thats because for most places it ships today and stores get it tomorrow. Some people are lucky enough to get it today.
Dumb game, for babies
Doesnt look great, still waiting on a real good spiderman game
I'm disappointed!! 2008, the year of horrible Marvel games! First Iron Man, second Incredible Hulk, now Spiderman. I need the upcoming Ultimate Alliance 2 to take this bad taste out of my mouth.
[QUOTE=''XCyberForceX'']I'm disappointed!! 2008, the year of horrible Marvel games! First Iron Man, second Incredible Hulk, now Spiderman. I need the upcoming Ultimate Alliance 2 to take this bad taste out of my mouth.[/QUOTE]I know what you mean.''My final issue with this game is a major one -- not only do I not feel like Spider-Man when I play this game thanks to a weak story and redundant controls, Spider-Man doesn't feel like Spider-Man. In the beginning, MJ is calling out to Spider-Man but saying ''Peter'' even though she's in broad daylight with people around and then gives Spider-Man a birthday present in front of two paramedics. When Spidey's looking for MJ later on, he's screaming her name to people. When Spider-Man first encounters humans who are acting funky thanks to the symbiote, he throws them off the roof of a skyscraper and makes no attempt to save them even though it's revealed later that Tinkerer's sonic device will destroy the symbiotes and leave the hosts alive. So, we've got a Spider-Man who doesn't care about his secret identity and is killing civilians even when he's not under the black suit's influence. On top of that, Spidey has the whiniest voice I've ever heard for a hero. Seriously, it's like they told him to pretend he was 13... and that could be the case because, again, you'll have no idea what the context around this story is when you're playing. Is he in high school? Is he working for the Bugle? Is Aunt May alive?''That quote from the IGN review 5.7 score (I think) tells us the game isn't even good for Marvel fans that just want a Spider Man story.

Endwar beta key

Please don't ban me for doing this thread.

I don't have a 360, I have a PS3. I won a contest and won an endwar beta key but I don't know how to give it away to someone other than posting it on the forums.

So ya...it's on my desk right now lol. I guess whoever posts first, I'll PM you the code so I can get it out of the way.

Thanks guys.Endwar beta key
sorry man you cant give away any beta keys on the forums. thread = locked.Endwar beta key
There is a demo on the marketplace. Your Beta key is pretty much worthless.

to those that have had red rings many ti ...

My xbox lasted so long and then in december it broke with e74 error. Now ive been plaiyng it since i got it back and it just broke again. I check the xbox site and it is out of warranty!So does this mean everyone thats had it break because of no fault of their own they have had to pay for it each time?? Please tell me im not looking in the right place and red rings are covered even out of warranty because this is insane!to those that have had red rings many ti ...
the system is covered for 3 years after the original purchase i thinkto those that have had red rings many ti ...
Yeah you should be covered for 3 Years.
mines broke 8 times in the last 3 years so they better change that
mine broke once from da red rings of death!!!!!!!!!!
covered for 3 years?? Mine broke once and i sent it in and now it says the warranty expired on 4/14/08, which is a few months back. The thing is i didnt buy it in april in fact i bought it 2 years ago.
[QUOTE=''ibanezdropd'']the system is covered for 3 years after the original purchase i think[/QUOTE]
I thought it was just the launch ones
once it gets RROD and you send it away your warranty is now 3 years at least thats what the girl from xbox told me!!:P
Im waiting on my 4th 360 from MS today to arrive. My launch 360 got 3RROD but I had no warranty. It lasted 8 whole months. I bought another one a couple months later...Sep28th..It lasted about a year or so...IT got RROD..I had a warranty this time...Got back a refurb...IT lasted a few months...then it wouldnt read discs any longer..I called MS support and asked about it...They were going to make me pay 99$ to get it fixed...I said NO WAY I was paying for a repaire on something that isnt my fault. I was very stern and stood my ground. I wasnt rude, but just stern...They said they would fix it for free...Give me a month or so of LIVE free...and extend the warranty on it another 3 months.As much as I hate MS this gen...I have to give props for fixing 360s for free if they get RROD and for fixing my 360 for free even though they didnt have to....I still doubt I will support them nextgen, but I do give props where props are due...Call them up and be stern with them...stand your ground....be nice but firm..
thank god mine only RROD once!! that was 3 weeks ago i have it back now and its louder than normal!! i use my bros 360 now!!
got my elite 2 months after it came out and its still going strong =)i might add i bought 2-3 years of warranty from best buy...in case it does die or get RROD,they make me send it in and they send back a gift card worth the full value...which is better than a fixed 360
yea its stupid as hell.my xbox broke back in sept and the problem that was wrong witht he xbox didint cover over the warranty. suppossibly the video card died. so now i pay 99. not another 2-3 weeks till i get my baby back. its been so long
mine has broke 2 times now but xbox said they would give 2 years extra warranty but i only got 6 months. but i still like my 360.
Microsoft seems to be very disorganized in the way they handle the Red Rings these days.Lets hope they fix the problem permanently soon.
If you guys ever get sick of e74, rrod, or weird colors just cut a hole the size of a standerd pc fan, and rig up to a 12volt power supply, and you will not repeat will not ever have to worry about heat getting to your 360, however it will look pretty stupid but it works for me going on 2 years 8)
my big cousin just turned mine on to watch a dvd and i just got the 3 red lights for the2nd and i have also had a broken disc tray for 5 months and had to use the universal remote to open it

    Xbox 360 won't detect my Wireless Networ ...

    Microsoft at it's finest. It happened once before, about two or three months ago, and it just randomly started working again. Well now it stopped when I got home froms chool. Whenever I run tests it just says Wireless Adapter: Disconnected. I tried connecting it again, same thing. Restarted my Xbox, same thing. Blew into it like a **** NES cartridge, which should be extinct by now, and it doesn't work. It's impossible to find help because there's no light at the back if it, it's just blank.Can anyone help me? If I wanted to pay 100$ for a piece of **** I would have shopped at Best Buy. Xbox 360 won't detect my Wireless Networ ...
    Try a different USB port on the 360. If it isn't getting power it isn't gonna work.Xbox 360 won't detect my Wireless Networ ...
    SHopping at BestBuy isnt going to get you any more or less quality products....The wireless router for the xbox360 there is the same as at any other store.Like the other person said, try another usb port. Or maybe just maybe you happen to have a defective router, OR maybe the console isnt recoginzing it due to bad usb ports altogether.Call Microsoft for help.
    Grab some wood there bub im sure your not doing something right.

    Fable 2 Question coop

    on live if i join my other friends game will my character go over to his game or will i just be a default character and will i progress farthur in the game if i do stuff in his game or the same thing if my friend comes over to my gameFable 2 Question coop
    It's the same as couch co-op. Someone has to be a henchman and you can only take gold and XP back to your own game.Fable 2 Question coop
    i dont get what u just said..i mean is it like saints row 2 coop or what please describe it without henchman or whatever make it basic loll
    If you go to his game, then you can bring your character, but you can't bring any wepons..or..something like that.You have to use what he's got. And the only thing you gain, is money. You can earn money in his world. And bring it back to yours when your done.Besides that, thats it.(I think I'm right. I don't have the game, but I've heard this in preveiws and reveiws and stuff.)

    Pre-order

    Just wondering what games you guys have pre ordered? And where? And if any you 2 plan to when available?I have pre ordered Gears of war 2 with blockbusters but may give it up to my brother because i'm thinking pre ordering at game for double points.. anyone know how much it costs to pre order with GAME for Gears of war 2?Quite few questions to keep you going :PI'm going to get Left 4 Dead too when i get chance, maybe some more. Pre-order
    Fallout 3.and I will preorder Skate 2 when it is available. Pre-order
    I try to buy used games for less, but some games you just got to have when they come out.
    i've got Fable 2, Fallout 3 %26 Gears of War 2 all pre-ordered at Smyths/the software zone
    I have Gears of War 2 (collector's edition), End War, Fallout 3 (collector's edition), and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (collector's edition) all pre-ordered.
    Pre-orders are a scam. How many time have you not be able to find a game. it is very rare. Big titles liek Halo 3 Gears 2 you might want to. But anything else that is not a Blockbuster instant hit you can find the day it comes out or Heaven forbid you have to wait on extra day
    I preordered Far Cry 2 (picking up tonight after work!!!), Fallout 3, COD:W@W (Loved the beta)

    Reserves are generally a scam; however, if you get a bonus it can be worth it. Example:



    I have the Guitar Hero: World Tour game/guitar bundle reserved at Toys 'R Us, so I'm getting a free $15 ITunes gift card. I'm planning to reserve Gears of War 2, depending on if I can find a good preorder deal.

It makes it that much more special when you pick it up.
    Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Dead Space, Mirrors Edge, and Star Wars: TFU. I've been very happy with every game I've gotten so far :D and I'm planning on pre-ordering MKvsDCU tomorrow

Someone that pre-orders pays the same amount as someone that buys it day one without a pre-order. I would rather pre-order and know I do not have to look around for a copy of the game I want. Plus now days they are giving you bonuses for pre-ordering so it makes more since to pre-order than it does not to.

Only thing the PC version has is mouse+keybaord support along with 360 controller, better graphics if you have a good computer.

    It's good, but Fable 2 and Dead Space are better. I think I like Saints Row 2 more, too. :D

    pro vs arcade

    My bro took his 360 with him to college, so im stuck without one and i need to buy one for fable and rockband 2.I was wondering if the arcade or pro is a better buy. The hardrive part is no problem since i can buy one off of my buddy for 30$(20gb). And I have a extra mic from him alsoSo i was wondering if i have those 2 things, is there any real point to buying a pro if i have both those? Money is an issue to me (sort of) i have 280$ so not enough for a pro, but enough for the arcade.pro vs arcade
    Well in your situation i would go with the arcade.pro vs arcade
    I have a 20g HDD and I wish it were bigger. I'd recommend just getting the Pro for two reasons. 60gigger and warranty coverage. You are only $20 away from the Pro. You also would end up with a wired controller if you went with the Arcade. That kinda sucks.
    I'd still be tempted by the new Pro. You get 60GB instead of 20GB, and while 20 is enough for now, we have yet to see how much space game installations will take that is coming in the November 19th update.Also by getting the Pro, the warranty will cover the HDD as well

    Who's getting EndWar now?

    Well, having played the demo, I am defo going to get this, voice works so well. Anyone else share my views?Who's getting EndWar now?
    down loading the demo now but dead space is awesome should have gotten a 9.5 or 10 then you got some really good games coming out probably wont buy this till theres nothing else out there.Who's getting EndWar now?
    definitely waiting for a price drop. This game is awesome from what the demo showed me, so I'll be getting it, just not right now.
    ill be getting it but have to buy fable 2 and fallout 3 1st
    i've gotta wait for a dry spell. Too many other games coming out. Might pick it up on the same day as when HAWX comes out, and just grab both then :).
    where exactly can i get the demo?
    i am definatly getting it, have been keeping track of it since it was announced and is one of my most anticipated games of the next couple months.
    [QUOTE=''spartanwrath'']where exactly can i get the demo?[/QUOTE] Xbox live marketplace
    not my thing.
    I played the beta and really enjoyed the game for a week or so then got bored. part of getting bored was do to frustration of whenever you would play online if someone leaves the game(just before losing) or gets disconnected you got no credit at all. with all the good games coming out its going to be a rental. If the problem above is still in the game i will probably send the game back the day i get it from gamefly.
    I want it! I love RTS games and if the voice stuff works, I will enjoy it a lot on my big screen tv! :D
    Nope. Demo made me not like it anymore.

    well in endwar weather you win or lose you get money to use to upgrade\customise your units, which to me adds a lot to the game. over 50% of the games i was in ended up with me getting nothing, which can be very frustrating.Edit: meant to quote, this is a response to the above post
    Well....I guess I could get it,I just had a little trouble with the communication control.

    Spider-Man: Web of Shadows IGN Review

    http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/922/922192p1.html

    5.5 If Anybody caresSpider-Man: Web of Shadows IGN Review
    Ouch :(Who would have thought the licensed movie games would do better :?Oh well, it was always gonna be a rental for me...Now I can spend my time playing better gamesSpider-Man: Web of Shadows IGN Review
    It's worse than Spider Man 3(6.0 on IGN), ouch.
    Wow a 5.5? That would put it in the same league as the Incredible Hulk game that came out earlier this year. Which I played and hated due the bugs, glitching, and crashes. Spiderman and Hulk are my favorite characters but if this game is that bad then I just might pass.
    Who didn't expect this? I didn't even care about the game because i knew it would be horrible or at the most mediocre.
    Ughhh everything he said in the video review is all the things i hoped this would not contain. REPETITIVE GAMPLEAY why cant they come up with unique missions. Like sneakin into buildings tracking things. Maybe were you slow motions action sequences that you have to do God of War moves to so stuff i dont know DIFFERENT. Ill rent it and try it out, sux cause i really was looking for to having fun with this one.
    I'm not surprised. Everything that I've seen made it look like Spider-Man 3 with a new story.
    Not surprised honestly. The character animations look terrible from what I've seen! It almost looks like they just re-textured Spider-Man 3 and added aerial combat.
    Pfft, that's disappointing, but it doesn't effect my opinion. I think the audience that this game truly appeals to are the true believers, like me. Fans of Spidey and the Marvel universe will like this game, as I will.
    Ill think Ill wait for other reviews to come out. Im not expecting big reviews, but this is less than I was expecting for this title.
    That's what I always expected.
    FYI the user score on Gamespot is a 9.3, go figure? :-)
    (Sighs) I just do not get it. I can not figure it out. Do the developers of these games hate comic book hereos? I mean, it is like almost every - with, I think, a couple of exceptions - developing studio that has produced a super-hero game comes together and thinks of every everything they can do to make a game great -- I believe they really think about this -- and once eveything is laid out...they make an pact not to do it
    Wowwwww!I was expecting a lot better.. Will read it now.
    Wow.... I had high hopes for this one. Thought it was going to be a decent superhero game, had tons of potential.
    [QUOTE=''johnny41252'']FYI the user score on Gamespot is a 9.3, go figure? :-)[/QUOTE] That's most likely from diehards that just enjoy playing a game associated with their favorite character irregardless of how horrible it is. Well, I'm a realist. If a game stinks, it stinks, no matter how much I enjoy the character Spiderman, Hulk, IronMan, etc.
    Ultimate Alliance 2 better deliver next year because I'm going through Marvel withdrawals. I NEED A GOOD MARVEL CHARACTER GAME TO PLAY. AND I NEED IT NOW!
    Damn...One day we'll get another good spider-man game ( I really liked Spider-man 2)
    Whatever, I'm still going to get the game. I need a new Spiderman game and I've played Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Ultimate Spiderman, and Ironman enough to actually get this. I guess it's all on the players perspective and opinion.
    [QUOTE=''clayron''](Sighs) I just do not get it. I can not figure it out. Do the developers of these games hate comic book hereos? I mean, it is like almost every - with, I think, a couple of exceptions - developing studio that has produced a super-hero game comes together and thinks of every everything they can do to make a game great -- I believe they really think about this -- and once eveything is laid out...they make an pact not to do it[/QUOTE] The only comic book game that ever did its source material justice is The Punisher by Volition. Because it was based on the Marvel Knights series and not the movie. Hopefully now with Saints Row 2 finished, we can take another walk in Frank Castle's shoes.

    [QUOTE=''R7_3'']Dead Space and Far Cry 2 have exceeded my expectations:D[/QUOTE]Yeah Dead space definitely exceeded my expectations.
    Saints Row 2 and Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway (better than expected)
    The only games that live up to the hype are the games that have no hype to begin with. It amazes me how susceptable to marketting the gaming community is.
    Yea the majority of them have mainly because i try not to set my expectations to high for this very reason...........NHL 09 was the only one i hyped and It delivered.......I also wasn't let down by Fable 2 because i loved the original and all they did was build on it and stayed very very true to the fable niche
    Mass Effect exceeded my expectations by far. I had little idea about it before playing, and was blown away by such a fantastic game.Assassin's Creed also exceeded my expectations, after initially disliking what I saw when it launched. Picked it up recently and really enjoyed it from start to finish.
    Nothing recent, but I expect Fable 2 to match or surpass mine!
    Fable 2 exceeded my expectations! Rock Band 2 and Madden 09 matched my expectations. While Final Fantasy 4 (DS) was below my expectations (couldn't get into).
    Dead Space exceeded my expectations.
    Tales of Vesperia far exceeded my expectations, I thought I'd play it once in about 38 hours like Symphonia and drop it, i'm at 51 hours and intend on a 2nd playthrough after I level up high enough for the FINAL FINAL boss ;)
    I'm extremely happy with Fable 2, it hit my expectations exactly... but I didn't board the hype train 6 months early, so that helped.

    yes i love shooters as much as the next guy but i really enjoy a good RPG with a good story rather than just, theres the enemy kill him and move on style. which is why i cant wait for fallout 3. i never really got into RPG games until the PS2 era or rather the Xbox era since im a fan of WRPG's but now i cant get enough of them.
    me also like rpg and fps.
    I like to shoot things.
    I'm starting to hate shooters. Every shooter reminds me of the last one without much change. Fun for alittle bit but can't keep my attention for very long. I thihk i'm done with shooters for a while besides TF2. Rpgs are by far my favorite genre of games.
    normally I go for the shooters because I can't stand using statistics in building my character stats. But fable is a more friendly RPG so I enjoy it.

    Far Cry 2 or Dead Space

    I know that this seems like a really wonky and odd thread...but I really need to make a decision. I have $65. for ONE game. And I have narrowed it down to Far Cry 2 and Dead Space. Yes, they are entirely different but please Read.I want Far Cry 2 because of its insanely good graphics and shoot em up gameplay which I like. But I am worried that the game will get old very fast do to repetitiveness in combat and story. Also the map editor looks cool but i dont even know if its on 360. This also got good reviews as well. I love shooters but I dont want to make the same mistake that I did with Mercs 2.I want Dead Space for its extrememly immersive and terrifying gameplay. I love action horror games the same as FPS. But Dead Space looks so unique and exciting and Fresh! The story is also fantastic. But on the contrary, I think that once I beat the rather short 12 hour campaign...I will get bored and be bored again. It also got amazing reviews!I know this is a rather odd vs topic but I can only get one untill Christmas and I really want to make the right choiuce. Please help! ThanksEDIT: I would appreciate it if you guys could also include reasons why. And if you have played BOTH, please give a reason why.Far Cry 2 or Dead Space
    dead space all the way feller.Far Cry 2 or Dead Space
    Hands down Far Cry2. Dead space looks like it would be a great movie , but a game with zero multiplayer is like a cake without frosting. Get Far Cry 2 you wont be sorry.
    Far cry 2 you will get more value out of it Dead space only has a singleplayer, and you can pick it up later for a cheaper once it price drops.
    Dead Space is amazing but Far Cry 2 has more replay value with the online play
    i say Dead Space, but i havn't actually played FarCry 2 yet.
    Rent Dead Space. It's a very short game. It has 12 levels which you can beat in less than ten hours. I'm on my second play through right now (on fourth level) and I still haven't hit the ten hour mark on medium difficulty. It is very fun while it lasts, but it is also pretty repetitive because of all the backtracking you do. I don't want to make it seem like it's a bad game, but unless you are a huge fan of survival horror games and plan on playing it over and over again, rent it.



    Far Cry 2 seems like it has much more replay value, but I haven't played it so I can't comment on it.
    get Far Cry 2 and rent Dead Space if you can only buy one game til Christmas
    Far cry 2. Dead space is a LOT shorter
    I liked both of them. but I like Far Cry 2 more :D
    Check out my review of Dead Space in my blog.Iunno about Far Cry 2.
    FarCry2Reason: Multiplayer
    far cry 2, my latest topic explains my thoughts on these games too. i just like it better for the replay value of it. its so high.

    Shipping question - About the box?

    When my 360 broke last year, the process to get it fixed was pretty straightforward. MSoft sends you a box with all the necessary padding and packaging you need and you send it on its way back. This time, when I called in six days ago, I had a lot of trouble understanding the tech support woman's accent but just assumed the process was the same. What's confusing me is the box to package my broken 360 in still hasn't arrived. I checked my spam folder and found a couple of emails regarding shipping, which are very oddly worded but seem to indirectly hint that I need to supply the box and package the 360 myself. Is this a new change to the repair system? If so, will Microsoft not repair my 360 if the console isn't perfectly packaged (tight plastic bag and everything they gave me last time)?

    I've connected my Xbox 360 directly to my laptop using an ethernet cable. I have Windows XP SP2 and WMP 11, but when I go into media sharing, it shows the 360 as an unknown device. I allow it anyways, but my 360 can't get connect to my laptop, and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?Connecting my 360 to my Laptop
    You need to set up your laptop as a lan. Go into the control panel and go into Network and internet conections. Then use the setup wizard to set up your laptop as a main hub lan. Then make sure your Local area connection on your connect tab is turned on. Then just run the ethernet cable between your 360 and ethernet port on your laptop and you're all set. I ran my XBL off my laptop for months and it worked great.Connecting my 360 to my Laptop

    [QUOTE=''JustWiicredible'']The game probably sucks so they're not handing out review copies[/QUOTE]Agreed!
    Well they did use wallpaper advertising for the game a few days back, and it has been officially out for awhile now, so I don't see what's keeping them from posting it now. I've heard the theory that some gaming websites weren't given review copies as well, but that's not a valid excuse to ommit a review after a retail release. My theory is that they were influenced by Sega's advertising dollars to either give the game a good score, or not submit a review altogether. I wouldn't usually make such an accusation, but after the Jeff Gerstmann controversy, I see this as a possibility.

    I just watched the video review, and it looks even better then it did before. Fallout 3 still comes first for me though :P
    no one is saying 8.5 is bad score, but i think like me, everyone thought that these games were going to be like GOTY worthy scores. I thought that these 2 games, espeacially fable 2, were going to be extraordinary, very unique games like gears of war and its cover system. I still will be pickong both up!:D
    This is what happens when we try to compare two different games in two different genres with the same score.My first impression after reading the Fable 2 review was ''WOW, too short, should have been better!''After reading about Farcry 2, I was ''WOW, long game, should be fun''Yet both have the same score and both take about 30 hours to complete (single player only and if you do all the side quests in Fable).So long story short, I am not sure why I am disappointed in Fable yet a still excited about Farcry. Plus I tend to enjoy RPGs more than shooters.
    I didnt enjoy this one and probably wont pick it up for awhile, even with the high reviews.. I dont trust GS reviews one bit.Ill get it when its price is super low.. or when i find it on ebay.. or ill rent it first.too many other games that appeal to me.
    Meh if 8.5 is what Fable 2 deserves then based on the fun I'm having with Fable 2 Far Cry 2 is well worth getting.

    Yeah I'm torn between this too.. I have Fable and am loving it, but am not sure now if I should get Fallout 3 at launch, because it might distract me from Fable and detract from that experience... :/

    how many times can you do the towel tric ...

    this is my 2nd time using this trick to fix the red ring of death cuz im too lazy to wait 3 weeks to get it repaired im just wondering how long its safe to put it off. like can you just do it as many times as you want or does it break something if you do it 100 times?how many times can you do the towel tric ...
    Its really random. On some 360s it can be many times, some only once.how many times can you do the towel tric ...
    [QUOTE=''RossRichard'']Its really random. On some 360s it can be many times, some only once.[/QUOTE] yeah but does it break the system in some way or does it just stop fixing the problem?
    I think it just stops working after awhile. It doesn't break anything. Or void warranty.
    I can tell you this i have done it on my arcade for about 5 months now and so far so good.
    Its all luck.

    Q&A for Fable 2 here.

    So I got some questions that some people can answer about the new game. Thanks in advance.1. So I'm evil as can be and I killed everyone at the Gypsy Camp, a few people in Bowerstone, and a couple monks. Right now I'm at the Guild Cave, but when I look at my map to go back to Bowerstone, it says I have like 10000g in fines. What if I don't want to pay it? Can I wait and it'll go down? What are the possible actions to make that fine disappear? 2. So I'm scared who to kill because in Fable 1 I remember killing a shop owner, and FOR THE REST OF THE GAME he was still dead. Did they fix that problem in Fable 2? 3. How come this guy completely loves me, but will not follow me? If I put on normal clothes (I'm in an evil sorcerer robe) will he follow?4. Will my wife leave me if I never come to visit her?5. I see a bar on my wife that has a ring with a red line through it. The ring is really close to an angry face (whereas farther away from the happy face). Does this mean she's about to leave me?6. So I raised the prices 100% on all my shops to make maximum profit. I realize this makes me evil, but in what way? I didn't see anything happen each time I raised the prices.

  • Thoughts on my latest 3 games- FarCry2, ...

    Fable 2- really fun deep RPG and combat is very fun IMO. Some things are annoying, like when you're trying to express yourself to a certain NPC, everyone else walking around you seems to join in and start flirting with you as well which is rather annoying. I'd rather not be hit on by old guys or gypsies. Graphics are decent, facial animations are great and it is really an enchanting world to play in and you really feel like you're playing a fairy tale(lol..) Far Cry 2- Great game so far for me, I was convinced a few nights ago not to get it but I decided I'd give it a try anyway and I'm glad I did. there's a lot of fun elements to the game that add to the realism, such as milaria pills, health shots, GPS system/map, cellphone, FPS physics (sliding and climbing) and other cool gadgets. What really is awesome are the weapons and the damage you can do. Explosions are pretty sweet and satisfying. Cons for me are that the enemies are really hard to kill and there's a lot of driving to do to get to missions. Not always a bad thing because I think offroading is pretty sweet in this game along with the fact that you can still get out and kill the militia guard posts. Only played one online match and it was pretty good. Glad to see they got a good upgrade system for you're weapons, u still buy certian weapons with diamonds that you have earned. Also a ranking system. My beef with the online play was that the graphics were noticeable toned down and the framerate is iffy. Framerate almost always seems to be iffy though with Ubisoft games.Dead Space- I'm not going to get really into this but I'm not much of a horror fan in games and this is the first I've owned for the 360 (well i own dead rising if tht counts) and it's basically flawless for me. Have yet to experience a glitch. But have had a lot of scares and heart stoppers through the beginnign of the game (only played through Chapter 1) and I just know it will only get worse as the game goes on! Crap! Graphics are stunning and so is the environment. Thoughts on my latest 3 games- FarCry2, ...

    I'm currently on Chapter 8 on Dead Space, good game however I wish I would have just rented it now. Will start on Fable II %26 Far Cry 2 this weekend.
    but I can admit that Fable 2 doesn't do anything innovative with the latest game. So its not like its a must buy in my mind.

    I've only bought Dead Space so far and I absolutely loved it. I tried to get Fable II today, but they were all sold out! And I don't pre-order anymore. Mind you, this was only at my local EB Games, but I recently had jaw surgery, so I didn't want to drive around to look for it. As for Far Cry 2, I might wait a bit to pick that up.
    Far Cry looks good, but I'm hesitant to get it simply because Gears 2 and COD:WaW are coming out so soon. I know masses of people will be getting those and playing them every minute they get, so any other shooters look like they will have much smaller communities. Since communities make the game good or bad online, I can't see Far Cry 2 being a big success against such huge competition.

    I just got FarCry 2 today and I love it so far. The enemies can be a bit of a challenge but that's ok. I kind of like having to take my time and figure out how I want to take them out. I still havn't tried the multiplayer or played with the map editor. Although I mainly bought it for the map editor. I promised myself I would beat the story this time around because I never got around to it with instincts/predator. ''To much fun in the map editor and multiplayer'' :? I havn't tried the other games you mentioned but Dead Space looks pretty neat.
    Fable 2 looks like a rent to me imo. I will prolly pick up Far Cry 2 but not sure wether i should wait till after Gears 2 and get it for Christmas or go for it next week
    ill probably end up trading Dead Space back in so I could get Gears or Fallout or Saints Row 2 after i beat it with my friends, cuz its gonna be hard for me to play it again and again and get my money's worth out of it. its a great great game tho.

    MAss Effect Difficulty Level Achievement ...

    I have a level 60 profile on Mass Effect, but I got there playing ont he easy mode. Now I want to play on the hardcore mode. Will I be able to create a new game using the same old high level profile, then just change the difficulty in game on Eden Prime to hardcore and still get the achievement?MAss Effect Difficulty Level Achievement ...
    yes u can100% sureMAss Effect Difficulty Level Achievement ...
    [QUOTE=''teobeo94'']yes u can100% sure[/QUOTE]Are you sure? Because I did a little more research and read that if you didn't select the difficulty while creating your profile, then you wouldn't get the achievement, even if you changed it the instant you landed on Eden Prime. The thing that confuses me though is that I never saw a screen, or a menu that came up during my new game profile selection, so I'm not sure how to change the difficulty before I even start the game.
    As long as you change the difficulty before the end of Eden prime you will get the achievement
    Ok, thanks.
    If youre replaying your level 60 character, why not just set the difficulty to Insane?
    I wasn't able to, I scrolled as far to the right as I could on the difficulty level, but there was no insane level, hardcore was the highest I had unlocked for some reason. I also have played through the game 5 times....
    Yeah, you need to beat it on Hardcore to open up Insane. If you played it thru 5 times you just about got all the achievements, no?
    [QUOTE=''g5velocity'']Yeah, you need to beat it on Hardcore to open up Insane. If you played it thru 5 times you just about got all the achievements, no?[/QUOTE]Oh thats right, I forgot about that. Its been awhile since Ive played.

    [QUOTE=''JJpenguin'']For hacking + neutral shock, just level your character up a bit and use them on the mako, it counts[/QUOTE]really? lol i had no idea, thgouth i could only use them on enemies.

    [QUOTE=''JJpenguin'']For hacking + neutral shock, just level your character up a bit and use them on the mako, it counts[/QUOTE]No.....its doesnt. Every other Bio/tech achievement can be gotten this way yes, but Hacking and Neural Shock achievements actually require targets to be unlocked.
    yeah I'm pretty sure AI Hacking has to be used on 75 different targets, as reusing it on the same one doesn't count.As for changing the difficulty - do it ASAP, but definitely before touching the beacon on Eden Prime. Once you've done that don't change the difficulty again, or when you finish you won't get the Hardcore achievement.

    [QUOTE=''dKfalcon'']anyone kno if there gunna be tru skill rank kinda like halo 3 with up n down levels??[/QUOTE] Actually you do, you get ranked based on your skill level. It's just like Halo or Rainbow Six Vegas, you get the badge thing next to your name showing your level. To me the matchmaking truly does suck. In fact they changed wayyy to much in Gears 2, the game almost feels unrecognizable.
    idk

    Seriously lol, Im just afraid of another RROD.
    *shrugz* if you have a job just wait a few weeks and save up for the 360. This way you can play Fable 2 / GeOW 2 AND LBP / MGS4 :)Otherwise best thing to do is look at the exclusives and make a decision. I'd personally say go 360, you alrdy love Live :D
    PePersonally, I think you should just stick with the PS3 now that you have it. I mean, you already had your 360 and got rid of it, and you could buy a new one if you wanted but then you will be constantly torn over which version of a game to buy for multiplats, and it will take more money for two systems than just one. If you get rid of the PS3, you may turn around and kick yourself again like you did with the 360. So, just have some commitment to your PS3.
    With all the recent price drops a new 360 costs less than a Wii, and half what a PS3 costs. I can't see the price getting much lower, and many of the reliability issues have been ironed out with the latest hardware
    its hard to commit to something that is so boring...
    From a non-fan boy perspective, i think you should side with the 360 if what you are looking for is online play with your friends. Especially with the new features that will be coming out on Nov. 19, Xbox live might be more fun then actually hanging out with your friends... i dont know how i feel about that jsut yet
    I honestly dont see the big deal of LBP...and MGS4 is kinda old to me now...okay, real old, its a collectors item to me now. lol But I want to see if you think the PS3 is good besides the Blu ray, which I never have you used cuz idc bout it lol

    Can't connect to xbox live. Please help!

    I haven't been on live for a few days, but decided to get back online again.
    I couldn't, so I tested my connection.
    All pass, except Xbox Live test.

    I asked around if XBOX LIVE is down today, but it's not.
    I got to hear about secure network etc., but I don't believe that's the case, since I went online just a few days ago!
    A friend joked about me getting banned, but I doubt I got banned. I didn't do anything wrong.
    Afterwards, he joked about my account getting deleted for not being online for a few days, which is obviously false.

    And it ended with the suspicion of my account getting stolen, but that's unlikely too, since the last time I've played online, was a long time ago and there's no reason for anyone to hack me. Never log in at the site either. E-mail and password etc. are saved on my 360, so I never have to re-enter them.

    What could be the problem?
    Can't connect to xbox live. Please help!
    Whoa, it seems I asked the same question precisely one year ago.
    That was because of an update, however.
    Can't connect to xbox live. Please help!
    Same happened with me. Got disconnected from a halo 3 match and then I couldn't connect, fails at the xbl stage...Guess it's an xbl problem... maybe.
    I can't either. I've tried resetting my router, and reinstalling my wirelesse connector.I'm having trouble logging into my gamercard on XBox.com and Bungie.net too.
    Just viewed a cached thread when I googled it on some forum. Since it fails at the XBL Stage, it most definately is a problem with the live servers.
    I've been able to connect again. :D
    I'm also in the UK but haven't had any Xbox Live issues all evening. My router disconnected randomly, but it does that sometimes, and I got straight back online and on Live.
    server issues, it happens to me sometimes.

    well the 60GB is already out, has been for a month or two. As for the jasper no one really knows but I saw someone post yesterday that it could be 6 months before you start seeing them in stores. Keep in mind once they release them they have to clear through the exsisting stock first before the jaspers will go out.
    Damn 6 months that sucks. I didn't think the 60's were out yet sicne I havn't seen anyone talking about them then I seen it on GameStops site. Well I guess I'll just pick up an Arcade Falcon. Didn't want to but that beats waiting months.
    You won't get any official info from Microsoft. They did the same with the Falcon chipset and just put them in without making big announcements about it. There have even been rumors that consoles that were manufactured after July or something already have the Jasper in it, with people claiming to have opened their 360s to get a close look.I don't plan to open mine though and you can't believe most of the things you read on the internet. I stopped to care about the chipset stuff anyway. All I know is that my XBox which I purchased this month doesn't get hot, even after running for 12 hours straight. It's mildy warm at the back where the cables are, but only after really long playing sessions. I don't live in fear that it will explode any time soon.

    Or do I have to buy it brand new? If I buy a used 360 and it RROD's am I s ...
    I think it will depend on the date of manufacture of the console you get. The RROD warranty was for 3 years, and meant to be from the date of purchase. Since you don't know when the console was first bought, the only date you can work from is the date of manufacture. Since the first ones were made in 2005, and we're near the end of 2008, some of the earliest ones are already running out of warranty.If you are thinking of buying a preowned 360 look at how much you are saving, and then think how much of a pain and expense it would be if that used console broke and couldn't be repaired for free. Personally I'd go for the new console and the peace of mind that you have a 1 year warranty against everything, and a fresh 3yr warranty against RROD.If I buy a used 360 and it RROD's am I s ...

    From what ive heared, jasper or falcon chips only make your system run cooler; however, overheating is not the only thing that can ruin your 360.Have the Falcon Chips proved to be effec ...
    well no one except for M$ knows for sure. What we do know, or at least have a good guess at, is that it hasnt solved the problem but has at least made it much much better.
    I just bought an Elite, and while it does freeze up at times, I don't believe it is due to any heating or other hardware issues. It seems to mostly be when I'm starting up music over the media server connection, then trying to do too many things too quickly and too soon after starting the music, so sometimes it then freezes. So, if your only concern is that of the heating that used to brick systems, I would say that you don't have to worry - even still you've got a long enough warranty after your purchase to send it in if it breaks, and get one of the 'newer' chips, that 'might' resolve heating issues.

  • GRAW 1 or 2, or RSV 1 or 2?

    i haven't gotten into the GRAW series, but im thinking about getting either GRAW 1 or 2. I know the first one scored higher, but im assuming thats because of sequel bias. So for those that have played both, which one is the better game and why? Also, how does the graw series compare with the RSV 1 and 2 as well? I'm just planning on getting 1 game in the tactical shooter genre so im just gonna pick the best oneGRAW 1 or 2, or RSV 1 or 2?
    R6V1 was the best outta the 4,but i would go with R6V2 because ppl still play it onlineGRAW 1 or 2, or RSV 1 or 2?
    R6V1 was freaking awesome online, however I have not played it in a long time so if what the previous poster said is true, you might want to get # 2 instead, which I don't have.
    im playing R6V1 right now and im almost done with it. Great game it is and its challenging. Havent seen if people are online with it till this day because yesterday my account was downgraded to a silver.
    Neither..only the campaign is good on rsv1 %262... graw 1,2 is garbage and the MP for rsv1/2 is laggy and full of sprayers
    GRAW 1 and RSV 1.
    [QUOTE=''ZimpanX'']GRAW 1 and RSV 1.[/QUOTE]

    I agree. GRAW 1 for single player, RSV1 for multiplayer.
    Rainbow Six Vegas 2>Ghost Recon: AW2>Rainbow Six Vegas 1>Ghost Recon:AW 1>Lost Planet. LOL.
    [QUOTE=''II-FBIsniper-II''][QUOTE=''ZimpanX'']GRAW 1 and RSV 1.[/QUOTE] I agree. GRAW 1 for single player, RSV1 for multiplayer.[/QUOTE]
    Exactly. :)
    Rainbow Six Vegas laggy and full of sprayers...You've got to be kidding me kid. Half the weapons are meant to be sprayed and you are complaining about it, GTFO
    If you decide on Rainbow Six, get RSV2, skip the first one.
    dang, there doesn't seem to be a general consensus here....eh i'll probably end up getting GRAW 2, looks the most appealing to me out of the 4

    Post your thoughts about Halo 3 : Recon

    I personaly think bungie out did there self. But on the other hand i think they started a whole new game with Recon. Put it this way its a new character and new storyline why would they make the name Halo 3 Recon ? lol If you ask me that was stupid but i see why they used that name, but its looking pretty good to me.

    well, if you can get a hold of a memory card without having to buy them ( their a rip off). use that to transfer all your saves and re download all the stuff that you can on the new HDD. Thats what i did when i went from my 20 GB to a 60 gb. but if you have a transfer cable, i think there is some disclaimers and such that come up when u go to use it.

    The transfer is very simple. It comes with a cd that you put in. You put your new harddrive on the xbox. You plug in the transfer cable into the old harddrive. Plug the cable into the usb slot of the 360. Wait an hour or two not exactly sure how long mine took i got it during xmas so dont remember xD. And then when the set up is complete your all set

    its better then the first and theres alot more to do in it.
    me thinks this one is a lot better from what i have read. seems like a blast. i wanted to get it but chose Dead space over it.
    much better than the first
    Enjoying it more than GTAIV :/
    I think it's way better then the first. I even like it better then GTAIV. Not that I didn't like GTA it's just the missions in this are more interesting and fun to play.
    I haven't played Saints Row 2 but apparently it is a lot funner than the first and more exciting to play than GTA 4 :D
    Like some of u yeah GTA 4 wasnt that great and yes some of the missions where kinda pointless. I was glad i was finished with that game. Saints Row 2 i guess is good from everything i heard and read. Might have to check it out. Thanks
    SR2 is a lot better than the original.
    This is good news! I enjoyed the first saints row so much I cant wait to get this one!
