[360] Official XBLA thread. Complain about the new price points but buy the garbage anyway!

I cannot fathom how bad Beat'n Groovy is. Pop'n Music is fun and good, yet they took everything that was good from it and shot it out behind the barn. Interface, characters, gone. The only difficulty is having to use the shitty 360 controller for a rhythm game.

Including Nekomata Master wasn't even enough to save this.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just got in to playing Pop'n, and looking at Beat'n Groovy, it just looks like a Bemani knock-off of DJ Portable Max.

It's kind of upsetting that they're ruining a good thing here. Regardless, I'm probably gonna download the demo for this when it's released. I just hope Konami keeps the good music that Pop'n had. I'll be really upset if it doesn't.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, they partially did a decent job. However, after playing through all 9 songs (for the love of), I feel like I partially wasted 10 bucks. Got the 90,000 on all songs achievement, beat Endless, beat Arcade...

guess having played the real Pop'n Music and being able to do up to Level 29's really made this feel like a useless game, and I hate to say that, cuz the US finally got to see Starmine (Pop'n Mixxx) and a song by Nekomata Master, even though it's not Queen's Knights.

Sorry, Konami, it isn't the same. Better luck next time.


Anyway, Capcom, hurry the fuck up with Super Turbo HD Remix. TMNT:TiT still hasn't been announced, nor rumored, so I gotta play something to hold me over.

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

So I just tried the demo. WAY too easy.

They seriously just took the easy bits of Pop'N and decided to call it a game. And 9 songs? The only songs I'm happy about are Starmine, 100sec. Kitchen Battle, and Moon.

That's pretty much it.

Not worth my download.

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

So I noticed Portal: Still Alive was on the XBLA new arrivals. A trial game and the full version for 1,200 points.

I was speaking idiomatically.

downloaded Age of Booty the other day. Pretty fun game, took me a while to learn how to play it. Gotta love the atmosphere ;(

Still don't think I know how to play it 100% tho



What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, Sonic, Portal: SA is practically a waste of 15 bucks, and I only say this as an owner of the Orange Box. The only thing different about it are the achievements and maybe a couple new challenge maps. Other than that, it's the same damn game that you could beat in an hour. Only get this if you're a die-hard Portal fan, if you're a big-time achievement whore, or don't already have the Orange Box.

FELIPE NO

Next week is Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2, and the week after that is Vigilante 8, and sometime shortly after that is Banjo Kazooie, so thankfully we might get the first couple of decent things in a few months. That'd be a nice change of pace considering the last 8 weeks or so.

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

Xbox Originals rather than XBLA but Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is now available for 1,200 points. Personally I think it's a better game than GTA:IV but I'm not sure it's so good I'd want to pay for it again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Download(only 7 MB):

http://rapidshare.com/files/159375222/_SystemUpdate.rar

to install simply unrar the file. then place the $systemupdate folder on the root of a thumbdrive or cd-r and then update your 360!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

OK, I'm looking forward to the NXE (wanky name aside) because it looks like a big improvement over the current dashboard, and it adds stuff like support for group chat, but honestly, who is SO bothered that they're going to fuck with their system to use an unofficial release of it, requiring you to stay off of Live. Why? It's a couple of weeks away, have some bloody patience.

Also, this is for talk of XBLA games, there's a general thread for plain Xbox 360 discussion, so good going there Ryu.

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

So V8's out.

So, it's really, REALLY faithful to the old games.

So I think I came a little bit.

So who else is gonna get it and play it tomorrow night with me?

I was speaking idiomatically.

The release of Vigilante 8 may be big news, but of far greater importance is that Yaris is no longer available for download. Why do the good ones always die young?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Oh god, I miss Yaris already. This is truly a tragedy which cannot be undone.

Now I must download V8 immediately to console myself.

FELIPE NO

Be careful, Skills likes it. That could mean it's toxic poison for the rest of us.

Most amazing jew boots

Look man. When I like something, that means it's actually good. None of this borderline passable shit that you seem to be a fan of.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Whatever, all I know is that the more Mr. McInternets here denounces a game, the better the game actually turns out to be.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It is a little strange that the title of this thread hasn't been changed to "Official XBLA thread. OH GOD V8 IS SO BROKEN I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN TWO REFUNDS."

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

Well, excuse me for trying to save you guys some money. >=(

Unfortunately Skills, when you cry wolf enough times, eventually everyone stops listening and just assumes you have your thumb up your ass.

Which isn't exactly a bad assumption when dealing with you in just about any situation.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've asked for two refunds. Out of...50 or so. Doing something twice for legitimate reasons is calling wolf now?

My God.

If you're talking generally, I hope you're smart enough to realize there's just as many titles I enjoy as I don't, but no one really cares or notices if I like something, only if I don't.

How ya doing, buddy?

What!?!

The only reason I log onto Gamingforce is to see if you like or hate certain things. It's my life...I notice EVERYTHING

FELIPE NO

lmao.

Sorry dude, I was referencing some specific in-joke and came off a bit too serious here just now, my bad.

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

A bit of interesting news, Sega are bringing Virtual On to XBLA in April:

Quote:

SEGA is to convert its cult, twin-stick arcade mech fighter Virtual On Oratorio Tangram to Xbox Live Arcade, according to Japanese games bible Famitsu.

The game will release in Japan in April for 1200 Microsoft Points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40).

The specific version will be Cyber Troopers Virtual On Oratorio Tangram version 5.66, the final incarnation of the NAOMI arcade board that was converted for the Dreamcast. Virtual On hasn't seen a console release since 2003's Marz for the PS2.
