    NFS Prostreet Demo...

    in XBOX Hacks [/xbox]

    Posted

    I think that game Blows. But thats only from the Demo. Looks like crap to me.

     

    Every NFS demo has sucked, but then the game itself is better. It seems like whoever puts the demo together really restricts alot that would make the game fun

    Very true, I hope the real game isnt a Let down.

    Hibernation Problems

    in Nerd's Chatter [/nerds]

    Got anything in your Shceduled Tasks that is set to "Wake The Computer To Run This Task" under the Settings Tab for the scheduled task?

     

    Got any programs running in the background that like to access the hard drive when idle? Some antivirus will, like Avast's VRDB service.

    None of the tasks have that Option enabled.

     

    And these are the programs usually running.

     

    Firefox

    AIM

    Steam

    NOD32

    GTA greatest game ever for ps2?

    I know I am going to get flamed for this, but I don't think the GTA games were all that great. The games were jacks of all trades but good at nothing. I did not like the way the game controlled and all of them have horrible graphics. I have spent a decent amount of time playing all of them and I still can't see whats so great about it. Also kinda felt overly simplistic. I know a lot of people that like GTA, I just don't think its all that great.

    Its Almost just like halo. And i have a quote that describes this perfectly

     

    "If you sit with your hands crossed waiting to be impressed, you will More than likely be disappointed"

     

    GTA was great in all aspects of the game. Every game progressed and got Better and better and better. NOw GTA4 is coming out with Next Gen graphics, things cannot go wrong.

     

    I actually played the game for hours. I try to give each game a fair shake before passing judgment.

    Only a couple of hours?? That game is suposed to take about a week-a month to finish depending on how much you play. And to get 100%, supposedly it was supposed to take u a year. All without cheats Of course.

     

    You are acting like GTA is a game with enough depth that rivals any ocean. Why would I even bother playing through all those meaningless side quests/missions if the game mechanics/engine is so poorly executed and simplistic. You act as if it is some kind of challenging game that requires a large amount of skill, patience and practice to be good at and enjoyable. A 4 year old could play GTA. Reason as to why I like Shenmue, requires skill and ability to play and complete. Virtua fighter, deepest fighting game ever, to truly enjoy it you have to actually learn how to play the game. VF has no button whoring. Unlike DOA, if you mash the controller and whore out the cheap countering system makes a very simplistic fighting game that anyone who is to lazy to learn how to dig deep into a game and discover it's true potential.

     

    I know I am apart of a minority when it comes to my view of the GTA series. If someone wants to play a game because of its language/ M rating, mindless violence, simplistic game engine then by all means play GTA.

    Flame on! :rolleyes:

    And you got this ALL from A couple of hours. Im not acting as if GTA is a GOD-Like game. But its a damn good game, and its damn fun. You can Try to bash it down as much as you want but the truth is, the overhype kills it for people like you. Halo 3 got the SAME treatment (not defending Halo 3), but it is RARE to find an honest review on Halo 3. Even that Hilarious Review by Yahtzee(SP?) was severely effected by Hype and therefore NOT given a TRUE HONEST review.

     

    Anyone Not affected by the hype can tell you that GTA:SA was a GREAT game. Not the BEST like the TS seems to think, but it was in No way, shape or form a BAD or Sub Par game. Ive never taken the time to learn how to play VF, so in turn i dislike the game. I can go on a rant and post about how bad the fighting engines are and how horrible gameplay is, but i dont, cuz i havent played enough. You make a point about playing a game enough to appreciate, but u play a couple of hours and make a complete Judgement on GTA.

     

    W/e, Attack my character all you like.

    DMC4 on 360

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Maybe im Late but Devil May Cry 4 Is coming out on the 360 =]

     

    And Apparently, it has better graphics then hte PS3 version

     

    We played a build of DMC 4 last April during Capcom's annual Gamers Day on the PS3, its native console, and were happy with the demo. Capcom officially announced that the Xbox 360 version would be playable during Games Convention, so we headed over earlier today to beat the Thursday rush. Our verdict? No matter what poison you pick, you'll probably end up happy, even if we have some small misgivings about the 360 controller's configuration.

     

    For those not in the know, DMC 4 will put you mainly in the shoes of demon-hunter Nero, who's hunting down Dante, the face of the franchise. We don't know many more details regarding the game's plot, but we're sure that, based on our time with the two sections that we played, it should maintain the quality that we saw in the first and third games in the series.

     

    The catch to the demo was that it was a slightly modified version of the same build we played back in April and previewed in early May. In one section, now dubbed "Exterminator," Capcom shows off the game's platforming and combat fundamentals. Nero battles creatures and solves puzzles in typical DMC fashion while players learn about his abilities, which seem similar to Dante's except for the Devil Bringer, a special arm that allows for some specialized combat. In the other section, now known as "Executioner," Nero battles Berial, a fiery hellspawn that's taller than the buildings that Nero uses for shelter (or green orbs, depending on whether Berial destroys them or not), eventually bringing him to his demonic knees.

     

    But really, what you probably want to know is what's different between the two versions, and based on our fifteen minutes with each one (PS3 first to jog our memory, then 360 to see the difference), we think that the two versions are fairly similar visually. The PS3 version looks marginally less refined to us, but anyone looking to start a console-superiority argument wouldn't have much ammo here. Both games look amazing. It's the controls, however, where we felt the biggest difference.

     

    Argue however much you will; after five and a half years of hacking, slashing, and shooting demons, we and millions of gamers are very accustomed to the feel of the PlayStation controller, be it Dual Shock 2 or Sixaxis, for the DMC experience. Our gripe with the Xbox 360 demo is that the controls feel too directly ported over to Microsoft's controller, and it's not a good ergonomic fit. While the DMC games on PlayStation have used R1 to modify Dante's attacks, the Right Bumper doesn't feel natural to the gameplay experience, and certainly feels weird when you're targeting enemies to slay. Maybe it's just for the demo, and Capcom will allow for controller configurations that are better tuned to the Xbox 360's controller, but it felt really awkward to play during our demo. Aside from that, the face buttons feel perfectly fine, and the rest of the build, aside from the annoyance of the Right Bumper, is still very fun. We just wish Capcom hadn't slapped a ten-minute time limit on the "Exterminator" section, but then again, we've braved the Games Convention crowd on public days; those kids would never get off the machines.

     

    Now that we've gotten to play a build of Devil May Cry 4 for Xbox 360, we can safely say that it's just as amazing-looking as the PS3 version, if not a hair more polished. It's still pretty much the same demo that we tried out a few months ago during a Capcom media event, so there weren't many surprises for us in regard to expectations. That aside, we hope that in the final product (or heck, future builds), the development team will allow for some control configuration. As it stands now, we're not sure we could tolerate using the Right Bumper so excessively on the Xbox 360 controller instead of the triggers, which are much more comfortable. Some might accuse us of nitpicking or fanboy bias, but honestly, gameplay, ergonomics and controls are king. We're hoping to see Dante and Nero rule the roost, regardless of platform, when DMC 4 drops next year.

    Got Religion?

    in Gossip Café [/offtopic]

    Posted

    Im Catholic. But i dont Follow Religion at all really. ive got mixed ideals when it comes to Religion. The thing that makes me hate religion are people who misinterpret Religion and take it out on others. I am not one to Blame God for anything bad thats happening to me, but i am one to Thank him for anything good happening to me. While that is kind of retarded, i beleive God is just that sense of Hope and Courage inside of ourselves. So thanking God is like thanking Myself.

     

    Kind of weird i guess.
