Uncle Du 22 Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) I think you can't get access to Netflix either. Think you gotta have a Gold membership for most anything now. So, beat Prince of Persia. Pretty good. Kinda good twist at the end. You want it Unknown? ;) Edited December 18, 2008 by Du Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Picked up Mirrors Edge and Last Remnant. Not really impressed with Mirrors Edge. After playing Prince of Persia and using the acrobatics and jumping in that game, Mirrors Edge actually sucks. The controls are hard to get used to, as the LB and LT buttons are the main buttons used for acrobatics in the game. I'm not left handed, so it's kinda awkward. The environments are beautiful though, the whole game is wonderfully rendered. Haven't played Last Remnant yet, but I felt the need to get into a good RPG, and I've heard good things about it. Stay tuned... Edited December 20, 2008 by Du Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) You should watch Zero Punctuation reviews (videos contain strong language) before buying a game. Edited December 20, 2008 by Drake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted December 20, 2008 You're definitely right, and I'm definitely going to watch his reviews more often, that was hilarious!! This is what I get for not doing research. I didn't even REALIZE it was EA game till I got home. Shoulda known that with the way this game was marketed that it was EA, and that anything they hype so much on prime-time TV is going to be a big steaming pile of s***.

Andy 60 Posted December 20, 2008 Quick answer. Play online with other people. Well that sucks. *scribbles Xbox 360 off list of things to eventually buy* I'm not paying for s*** I can do for free elsewhere lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted December 21, 2008 X-Box Live isn't the only reason to get a 360. The free Live Silver account lets you download game content, videos, and whatnot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted December 21, 2008 So far the Last Remnant is pretty good. Unique battle system, although it's a little simple. You don't gain "levels" in the traditional way, but the better you do in individual battles effects how fast your individual traits go up. The graphics are good, what you would expect from a Square game. I might actually beat this one. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 60 Posted December 22, 2008 X-Box Live isn't the only reason to get a 360. The free Live Silver account lets you download game content, videos, and whatnot. I can download videos from YouTube. I can't afford a 360 anyway lol. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUnknown 39 Posted December 22, 2008 Perhaps that's why he can't afford a 360. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheUnknown 39 Posted December 26, 2008 Hey, I have a question. I noticed on a video I saw for Prince of Persia that the characters had black lines around them. If you remember from the OT special edition, they talked about this being because of the computer graphics in the movies. Are all 360 games like this. It was really off putting to see.

CorSec 5 Posted December 27, 2008 I'm pretty sure the new PoP uses a "unique" visual style. I'm not a fan of it either. There's some mad Boxing week sales going for 360's here. I might buy one this week (240 or so for a Pro at Wal-mart, the Holiday package with two games). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUnknown 39 Posted December 27, 2008 So, PoP is unique in that and the other games I'm interested in (ie. Halo 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Soul Calibur IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Last Remnant, Fable 2, etc.) aren't that way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake 53 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Correct. If in doubt, just look up screenshots for those games. Edited December 27, 2008 by Drake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted December 29, 2008 The graphic design of PoP really doesn't take away from the game at all., IMO. It kinda adds to the character of the game I think. It's definitely unique. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Du 22 Posted December 31, 2008 Cool. Just picked up Guitar Hero World Tour today. This will mark the first time I have played any game of this type, and if my calculations are correct, I will become hopelessly addicted, and you all will never see me again. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Du 22 Posted January 1, 2009 So ya, I am addicted. Problem is, my dumb ass left my box at a friends house last night. My Lady drove us home and I was a little tipsy and I forgot it. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
