Suited_Up 2 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Played some Pool and Bowling on Home w/ Dev. It's pretty cool if it weren't for all the people. Some dude was standing right on top of me while we were playing pool and just dancing, but I could only see his head/shoulders from my view, and it looked like he was humping me. (I think Dev had the same view on his end) It was pretty odd. Link to post Share on other sites

I still don't see how Home itself is supposed to compete with XBox Live. Link to post Share on other sites

I still don't see how Home itself is supposed to compete with XBox Live.It's not supposed to on it's own, but it's something completely different. Xbox live isn't really much more than what PS3 had without having Home. (Granted, I haven't seen this new version they have out, but did they really add much to it?) It's just adding an extra social networking tool and I assume it's going to continue to grow quite a bit. Right now there aren't many features, but I think it'll get a lot more fleshed out.That being said, It's not really my cup of tea either at the moment, but who knows in the future?

I outplayed you that game of pool but scratched after downing the 8 ball...lucky sob!Home's something that I had never even heard of more than 2 day ago. So I didn't really have any expectations going in. I can see reasons why its stupid but I think it has potential and could grow into something pretty cool. While Playstation Network may not have all the bells and whistles that Xbox Live has, you can't forget that it's free. Pretty big deal IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

I also think that having to purchase extra clothing and furniture with real money is BS. Link to post Share on other sites

bigkg 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Haven't had my 360 for the past week and a half, so I've been doing some catching up on Fallout and FIFA 09. I reached level 20 with good karma, and I'm now just wandering around discovering as many locations as I can. I've gotten kind of addicted to FIFA's Be A Pro mode. I uploaded two nice goals I had yesterday, but I'm not sure where I can view them online. Link to post Share on other sites

It's happened to me around 4 times but only while playing Fallout. Link to post Share on other sites
bigkg 0 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Has your Xbox frozen at all while playing Fallout? It's happened to me around 4 times but only while playing Fallout.Actually, I have been experiencing some technical difficulties while playing, only recently, though. I have about 45 hours of gameplay with my one character and have recently had sound issues. I also walked into a ridiculous trap somewhere in DC and died, and my game froze after I died. But this has been the first instance of this in the entire 45 hours. Link to post Share on other sites

aadams_22 3 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Anyone played Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, or Valkyria Chronicles? I'm a fan of JRPG's and wonder if anyone of you has any input? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a fan of JRPG's and wonder if anyone of you has any input?I've heard that The Last Remnant is good but the time rate is really choppy but it's fine if you download it to your HD. Something that's worth around $40 but not for $60. I'm going to pick it up from Gamestop because I have alot of store credit from flipping games but I would wait for the price to drop if I was spending money out of my pocket. I've heard mixed reviews on IU but most agree that it starts off bad then gets really good the further you go. Link to post Share on other sites

TraptSteve 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I played cod4 for 30 minutes for the first time in months since I moved from my dad's. Forgot how amazing that game is... especially on my dad's systemS&D is the best game mode EVAR! Btw I have a bet with someone on the Gamefaqs board that he can't sustain his 6 K/D ratio for 12,000 kills. He's at 6.5 now @ about 6k kills. Loser has to give the other person his login & ship 50$.
