XxKisukeXx — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 22:04:06 GMT

I will be honest, i wish i had bought one ages ago, it would have saved me a lot of money. However, buying one now seems kinda pointless since i got the games i wanted for the DS. So what is your opinion on the r4/Acekard?

MasterofPuppets — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:37:43 GMT

Games like pokemon chaos, which nintendo didnt make.

Chaos, being created by hackers, has glitches, like the Mt. Moon that will never end.

Place the song into another game.

90HeroMAXD — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:18:04 GMT

So this is gaming related and its sort of a game, dunno which to place it in.

Anyway the game is that a person will place a link to a theme song from a game then the next poster has to think of a game that would fit perfectly into the game.

Minecraft!!!!!

Flat — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:30:27 GMT

I always find something that is awesome, but so far this one is is the best. Minecraft a game created around summer of last year is amazing. The graphics are absolutely positively horrible! And it kind of has to be that way because every time you start a new game it randomly generates a level. With caves, caverns, mountains. And the map size is infinite or limited to 8 times the surface area of the earth if you have the time to walk that far in the game. You can make tools and build huge fortresses, and you kind of have to because I haven't told you the best part yet, at night, or anywhere it is dark zombies spawn. You you have to hurry up and make a makeshift home right in the beginning. This is all in the latest version of the game Survival/Alpha Minecraft. The classic version is free and can be played right of their site, but the Alpha one will cost you about 15 dollars, and it is at a great deal right now, that is until it hits beta.

Call of Duty: Analyzed.

Envioux — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 23:41:44 GMT

Call of Duty: The facts behind it.

Yeah, you probably thought it was some new game coming out right? Yeah, I did that for a reason.

This is somewhat of my opinion, but me also bringing some facts about the series out. For this thread, I'll be specifically using Modern Warfare 2 as an example.

Call of Duty is already a broken game as it is, especially on the DS and Wii. The game is pretty much specifically for people who are new to first person shooters. Let's think about it and take a look at the facts.

1. Completely broken combat. There are only two types of combat, resulting in pretty much the same thing. Riot Shields and of course, the knifing.

Knifing is completely broken. It's an instant kill after the stab animation.(Wouldn't happen on a game like.. let's say, Team Fortress 2. Kill me if you want for comparing two completely different games, but TF2 is combat done right.)

If that weren't enough, you can do it with a quick press of a button and nearly home in on the enemy that's a good foot away. To make things even worse, we have a perk called "commando" in which lets you knife faster, from further away and pretty much home in on the enemy. So I can be standing a good 2 feet away from someone, look at their FEET and I'll automatically be taken to the guy and kill him before he could get a couple of shots on me.

To really destroy this form of combat, we combat lag. Woo. I can run up to someone, press the knife button and literally watch the guy stick the knife into him and nothing will happen. There are also times where I have been killed during the stab motion, and spawn in stab motion. What's wrong with that? I die, but get no kill. Lame.

The Riot Shield is still pretty broken, just not as bad. It takes two hits to kill a person and has a nice delay after the first hit. It still has the same range as about a knife when the perk commando is on. It can deflect bullets and explosions as you probably already know, but the Riot Shield is more harm to the user than help. It drastically slows you down, and due to the broken knifing, all someone needs to do is step to your side and press the knife button. It'll automatically home in to your back and you're dead.

2. Let's take a look at the shooting elements, shall we? Before I get into the complete specifics, I will note that the game sweet spots bullets and generally has bad bullet lag.

Machine Guns

Generally most guns are pretty good, it's the fans that generally kill this part of the game. You usually see people running around with a Silenced UMP45, or one with extended mags. Well that's all fine and dandy because the UMP45 has decent recoil and power. What kills these weapons are the people who constantly use modified controllers. Constantly, I see people running around with a FAL that shoots way faster than it should be shooting, after all, it isn't automatic. It's a single fire gun, for those who don't know. To make things worse, modded guns don't have any recoil, so someone with decent aim can kill you pretty quick. With a fair amount of bullet lag, you can try to run, but you won't survive.

Grenade Launchers

It just irks me that people can't call it by it's proper name, it's a Grenade Launcher people. Not a "Noob Tube". Now, to my point. Yeah, it's a pretty broken gun, but it isn't as bad as it seems. It's obvious when anyone's going to use the Grenade Launcher. The only thing about this weapon is it's ridiculous range. I have seen people launch these things across the map to the spawn and get a good 3 or 4 kills.

Other than that, there aren't many shots to the thing (depends on the gun and what perks the user has on). and the only reason OP is complaining about it is because of the splash it has. Generally getting hit when you're within the radius of the blast is an instant kill, but you can survive if you're towards the edges of it, which is sometimes hard to predict for some people. This is actually the least broken element of the game, as the only time when you're completely screwed against someone using the Grenade Launcher is if you're camping in a small area (which you shouldn't be doing unless you're sniping) or you miss your first couple of shots.

Sniping

It's typical for Call of Duty players to think "sniping is pro". Just because it's slightly harder to aim, it isn't "pro." Often people are obsessed with doing tricks such as "quick scoping" where you zoom in up until the point where you see the cross-hairs, then shoot. Some people just plain out like to think they're great at the game and "no scope", which is pretty much shooting (and most likely missing) without even zooming in.

I don't have a problem with either of these things, it's just that most players focus too much on looking "pro" and not enough on simply killing the target. When you're in a Search and Destroy or a Team Deathmatch and your team is full of idiot snipers who miss 20 of 30 shots, you're probably going to lose. People also criticize snipers for actually doing what it's made for, zooming in, taking the time to aim, and killing from long range.

The only solid Sniper Rifle is the Intervention, because it generally can't be modded. The Barrett 50. Cal, WA200, and M21-EBR can all be modded and it's just plain ridiculous. As mentioned earlier, people who mod have no recoil. Generally sniper rifles take 1 - 2 shots to kill a person, and modding pretty much shoots a bunch of bullets at you before you can even kill. Also, sniper rifles sweet spot like any other gun. You can put the cross hairs a good inch or two above the head, and still get the kill. Same for aiming a bit off of the person to the right or left.

Final comments
There are certain elements of the game that deserve some praise, such as Throwing Knives. I love the physics on them, the way you can get your aim just right and do some pretty awesome things with them, such as bouncing them off of a lamp post to get a kill on someone.

Your thoughts on this?

Also, I can't stress this enough, remain mature about this, don't bash opinions, etc.

--Side note-- I'd like to be able to go into more detail, but I'm busy at the moment. I'll update the post with things I didn't get to, such as maps, etc. Also, when I mention lag, I do have a solid connection. I am always at a solid frame-rate and I don't lag in the game, if I do, it's very small and not noticeable.

Despite the fact that Batman: Arkham City isn't due for release until Autumn 2010 (it may be subject to change though..), a random Flickr account has today uploaded 20 glorious screenshots of the game.

Unfortunately, those screenshots have now been removed from Flickr.

Fortunately, xbox360achievements.org made copies and they are now available for you to look at here, in their galleries.

Enjoy.

Microsoft to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold

DeadMetalhead — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:09:33 GMT

Xbox Live Gold Price Increase, XBox 360 News - GamerZines : Free Digital Games Magazines

Quote:

Microsoft has confirmed that it will be increasing the price of Xbox Live Gold in Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom and the United States.

From November 1st 2010, the price of an annual Xbox Live Gold subscription will increase from $49.99 to $59.99 in the US. Monthly charges will also rise to $9.99, up from $7.99.

In the UK, it only appears to be the monthly cost that's set to increase, rising from �4.99 to �5.99 a month.

There's no word on a price increase for an annual Gold subscription in the UK.

"Since launching Xbox LIVE in 2002 we have continually added more content and entertainment experiences for our members, while keeping the price the same," said Microsoft's Major Nelson.

"We're confident that when the new pricing takes effect, an Xbox LIVE Gold membership will continue to offer the best value in the industry."

An annual Xbox Live Gold subscription in the UK currently costs �39.99.

A free Silver service will continue to be available.

Breaking: Microsoft Stops Supplying Subscription Codes Till Price Increase – Date Given | Lazygamer .:: Console and PC Gaming News ::.

Quote:

We have just received information from local online codes website EvoPoints.co.za Microsoft will no longer be issuing any more subscription codes until the price increase kicks in.

Yes, this means that there will be a shortage hitting very soon too.

This, as well as the fact that they are essentially depriving people of the ability to renew with a code until it costs more.

If you don’t already know, the increased price will take effect on the 1st of November. We expect that this may cause the price of subscriptions from resellers to go up ahead of time, as the codes will be in short supply.

I personally believe that this is quite a devious move from Microsoft and people should have the right to have codes supplied to them at the normal rates until the price increase rolls out. Any thoughts?

...THIS is their answer to PSN+?
