[360] Xbox 360 Discussion. Thermal paste, the delicious and nutricious snack of the future.

TGS says lick my balls

Notables: Rez and Ikaruga on arcade, Shikigami no Shiro III, and details or videos for LO, LR, NG2, and other such things. Itagaki also making Steve Jobs like statements such as "just as DOA4 was the premier fighting game when it was released at the 360's launch and remains the premier fighting game today."

Fun for all. Read, discuss, masturbate, etc.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ah, beat me to it.

Tri-Ace is gonna have to do something fantastic to make me give a hoot about any of their junk ever again. Nothing they've done since 2001 had any redeeming value in it.

Undiscovery has potential, sure, but I won't be surprised if it's gutter trash.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hmm, looks like Best Buy is gonna be sponsoring a three day period of Live, making everyone who's got a Silver account have Gold functionality for the period of the 25th, 26th, and 27th. I guess the few of us here who don't have Gold can get in on the Halo shenanigans while it's piping hot.

FPS Source is currently broken, but they did a quick genre breakdown back in August of all the retail games on the 360, and shooters (both FPS and 3PS combined) ended up at something like 17%, so there's more variety than you're assuming. If you include Arcade games, (which I personally wouldn't, and they didn't), the numbers change radically very fast.

Lix is correct in listing those genres as being more prominent, but variety only grows as time goes on, and since none of us can predict exactly what will be out by the end of next year, it might be a better idea to go with what you KNOW has what you want on it and wait until the end of this generation to pick up this stuff, if you're that paranoid about it.

Anyway, the appearance of Operation Darkness marketplace content and english achievement lists makes me wonder (and hope) if we're actually gonna be getting it. I haven't found any information on the topic, but seeing as how the game looks pretty neat, it'd certainly be nice.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nice try, but no.

Leave the stats to people who calculate them instead of making them up on the spot, eh?

It'll be interesting to see just how far some people are gonna try shrinking the pool of applicable titles until their made up figures become somewhat correct though! A plus thread topic, would listen to trolls again, etc.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And as before, I've said you're right Lix. It's definitely not your statements I'm contesting here.

Slayer just didn't read either link. I knew he'd try to factor something else out though.

Oh well, little does he realize that factoring out the multiplatform stuff on there actually helps our argument instead of his. That list is then reduced to one FPS (Perfect Dark Zero), and one 3PS (Crackdown). The other games on the list would all be disqualified in his hasty attempt to justify his figures.

Now can we finally put a stop to your trolling here Slayer and get back to, you know, discussing the 360?

FELIPE NO

Why do people keep trying to rationalize the stupidity of buying a Core?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

For the love of Jesus, don't install Zune or any of the windows media player shit. Don't. If you do, I'll hunt you down and actually kill you. I'm not even lying.

The 360 is a UPnP device, so many streamers will recognize it. Wanna know one that doesn't suck balls that does?

TVERSITY

Using the official solution here is gay AIDs on a stick. Don't do it.

Or would I have to use a USB device or DVD/CD?

There isn't a way to do that, and reripping them leaves you with horribly compressed WMA audio on the console, and takes up hard drive space there.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It won't read a data disc full of music and say "transfer audio". You can stick an audio CD in there and it'll rerip it with it's own WMA encoder, but there's no way at ALL to do what you're proposing.

Streaming like a normal person is by far the best course of action.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Seems the faster moving blades doesn't help all that much, as it still takes a while to populate them with content. I do like the faster appearance of it, though.

The required shit takes up 7 of your 20 gigs, so even after wiping the damn thing, you're looking at only 13 or so gigs free. Totally horseshit, I know.

Can't wait for lolarity Forza races though. Wheeeee. Haven't played with the OBJECTIONMOBILE in quite some time.

Also apparently Burnout demo on like the 13th. I got hard in the pants at this news. Makes my week. Better than Christmas, etc.

I really hope both Otogi titles and GunValkyrie make it on there, since they still aren't backwards compatible.

What.

The official statement on when was just "Most likely weekly", and I'm not sure we're getting any this week, as there hasn't been an announcement yet. Dunno if they plan on announcing at a different time than the usual Arcade ones, but if not, then that usual period of time has passed.

Also, uh, only backwards compatible games will make it on there, y'know. These originals are just ISO dumps that you play off your hard drive through the BC emulation process, as opposed to off your original disc. There's nothing else to 'em. You're not magically gonna start getting games that won't work through regular BC showing up on here.

Yeah, it's kind of a shitty deal. There's very few BC compatible games I can think of that would be worth the 15 dollar asking cost, seeing as how most can be bought used for 10 or less. Who the fuck pays 15 dollars for a copy of Crimson Skies of all things, I mean. Yeesh.

How ya doing, buddy?

The 65nm chipset has been available since late September.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It's a YMMV thing. Most stores check serials. Some, with uneducated customer service clerks, will take it back no question.

Others will compare and tell you to go fuck a goat.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Gender has what to do with what now? The sales desk is informed of scams and frauds like this all the time. It's up to the specific service rep's memory and training to look out for people taking advantage of them, and last I checked, that sort of thing didn't require a penis to be good at.

They have SO many refurbish 360 queue up that it usually takes 2 weeks overall to get your 360 back. 3 days (UPS 3 Day Select) for them to ship the box to you, 5 days (UPS Ground) when you ship it back to them, 2 days for them to check your 360, then 3 days again (UPS OR FedEX 3 Days Select) to ship back a refurbish 360.

The hell are you talking about. It takes much closer to 4 weeks than 2. It often takes MUCH longer before they ship you back another one. At the very least, you're looking at 3 weeks. Probably more.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hahaha.

What does being a gamer have to do with following return policy procedure. Do you know how this stuff works or not? You make it sound like you must be a gamer in order to follow a written rule set and check what you're TOLD TO CHECK when handling returns.

And threatening an employee by saying you'll report them when you're trying to scam the shit out of the store they work for is just bad fucking form. It takes a special brand of asshole to yell at someone when they call you on your bullshit. And I laugh at "the customer is always right", even when you're trying to steal. A fucking plus.

I ain't gonna condemn you for wanting to try, but the attitude you're showing while being fraudulent is pretty much the shining example of why people hate dealing with customers.

Jesus H. Christ on a pogostick.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Since you're clearly daft, I'll fill you in on a tip. A place like Wal-Mart pushes shrinkbusting like you wouldn't believe. Most employees will try to stop it, since it's company policy to give away bonus cheques at the start of Q2 every year, and those cheques are directly affected by shrinkage (among other factors). There are also other company related rewards for stopping such things. Tritoch is correct, they will tell you to leave if it's obvious that you're ripping them off. Wether or not you get away with it depends on the apathy and knowledge of the clerk in question. That's all there is to it. I laugh at the etiquette statement though, and this inflated sense of importance. They very easily could tell you to fuck off, it's not like they have any shortage of customers otherwise. Especially if you get belligerent and tell them you're gonna write them up.

This whole situation is lose-lose though, I can totally understand not wanting a refurb. Everyone gets hosed in this situation, if it's the console owner, the store clerk, or whatever, everyone gets fucked. I got lucky when I got a console swap wayyyyyy back. I got a new one. This was before the increased warranty though, and before traffic through the repair center was as insane as it has been for the last 6 months.

Anyway, moving to a topic outside of your mass stupidity, there was some interesting content on the XBLM today.

Raiden Fighters Aces trailer hit the North American marketplace today, perhaps implying a North American release? Oh dear sweet jesus, please say yes. PLEASE.

Also Omega 5, which I'm not sure if I like or not.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The outcome depends on more factors that we can realistically account for right now, so who knows. I'm just letting you know it's not unheard of. Regardless, this is now extremely off topic and should be stopped.

Good luck getting a new system.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's not XBLA, is it a retail release.

And Raiden Fighters is great in it's own right, so.

Also avoid Omega 5. The demo was really short (half a stage, lawllergasm), and it didn't give me enough of a taste to really understand what it was gonna be like. Not really diggin' it now that I plunked the points down. Ah well. ;_;

Most amazing jew boots

Um, Raiden Fighters Aces is a compilation of Raiden Fighters 1, Raiden Fighters 2, and Raiden Fighters Jet.

Ikaruga Review (Xbox 360)

Review implies soon?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Metal Slug 3's achievement can be gotten in Easy Mode as well, however it's not like the latter half of stage 5 isn't a total shitstorm regardless of your gameplay difficulty anyway.

While it would be a simple enough deal on easy mode, "any mode" could imply live co-op mode as well, which means that player 2 acting as a fucking shitshield could make the game ridiculously simple to 1CC.

I'm surprised at the score attack achievements not requiring a better grade, honestly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
