I know I'm old and grumpy, but those 360 demos sucked. Fair enough, Blue Dragon isn't my type of thing, so it might be good for all I know, but Stunt Man and Combat Aces are fucking garbage.

 

[nofriendo]

yes....yes they are! you grumpy bastard!

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

I didn't really bother with those demos, blue dragon is the only one i'm interested in and theres no way that game can be conveyed in a demo.

The first Stuntman game was crap if i remember right.

I would have loved a Bioshock demo.

 

[Johnnyc]

Combat Aces is pretty poor. Such shallow gameplay. And the voice acting is like something out of Soupy Norman. Stunt Man is about as appealing as Jade Goodie.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Its called Ace Combat and its spelt 'Goody'.

Jeeeeeeesus.

 

[Johnnyc]

It's spelt "Jesus".

Combat Aces, Aces Combat...whatever. Just a sign of how instantly forgettable it is.

 

[avernus]

or how drunk you were playing it.


but seriously.. that peru vs paraguay game last night was fucking hilarious.

haha, yeah totally.

I think Johnnyc's winding up for a big nazi-esque swipe at romani gyspsies.

 

[avernus]

haha, yeah totally.

don't you laugh. this happened. so you shutup.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

don't you laugh. this happened. so you shutup.

I saw you two were playin at 1.30, man i hope the new pro ev has a spectator option.

 

[avernus]

it'd be amazin. but I bet it won't. I can't believe the cool shit the ps2 version even has over the 360.

 

[Johnnyc]

Aye, was funny shit alright. It was South American footy to the MAX! Keepers playing as sweepers and taking dangerous free-kicks, defenders nutmegging eachother, horrible fouls, outrageous goals. Class stuff. That Santa Cruz goal I got with the step-overs and spins!

A spectator mode would be great - but I'll settle for 2 vs 2. To be honest, if they get that right for the next Pro Evo, I won't need another game for about 6 months.

Gontlemen,
Is it worth buying the Premium 360 pack (inc. Gears of War & Crackdown) for 410 yops, or should I hang on for the Elite version in August?

I could take or leave the elite. The hard drive is over priced as is the online video content and HDMI is almost identical to component.

Xtra Vision do the best bundle, premium + 3 games + play and charge for 400.

I'll be selling mine soon if you don't mind a second hand one. Premium + plug and charge + wireless networking + wireless headset + loadsagames (GOW, Rainbow Six, COD 3, prey, Tony Hawk American Wasteland, Tony Hawk Project 8, Halo, bunch more i can't remember).

Good spot, that sounds more like it.

Tempting, but given the 360's reliability record I think I'd be a bit more comfortable going for a new yoke.

 

[RSJ]

Ah yeah, go for it.
