Tomb Raider: Legend was by far the easiest to me.

[Icarus]

LA Noire was definitely the easiest for me to rack up the full 1000 score plus an extra 400 from the DLC. I'm pretty close with MW2; I have 44/50 achievements; four of them are related to spec-ops, one is related to intel and the other is related to running The Pit in under 30 seconds.

 

I have seven more achievements left in CoD 4 right now, all related to veteran playthrough. So far I'm on the Safehouse mission, but I'm definitely not looking forward to One Shot, One Kill and No Fighting In The Control Room.

[vertical limit]

My average is, 500-600 points with games.

 

 

Close enough.

[Rebel]

You know what? I've still not finished LA Noire yet.

 

As for racking up 1K on GS on a game I've really not done it that many times. Maybe a total of 3. But they have all been games I've loved so much. Like Bully - f*ck that game was amazing, and I'm going to cream when the next Bully is actually announced for real. Then I think my next was Assassins Creed, and well I don't remember my other 1K.

 

I think I need to always go back and get as close as I can to 1K on games. But I've got to be in a certain mood really, which as I can tell never really happens.

I'm a soon to be XBOX owner and was wondering are you worried about more games using multiple discs like Noire? GTA V for example?

The 5 seconds disc change really isnt a big deal for me, some games take longer to load then it takes to change the disc on LA Noire!

 

Im currently at 1100 for LA Noire, haven't played it in so long so ive still got the DLCs to complete, that should bump me up to around 1300-ish.

Then ive got some tedious collections ones left like collect all film canisters

The more discs the better for me, my 250 GB hard drive is more than big enough and more discs means better quality and more content.

How's that work? The reason why LA Noire had more discs on Xbox was because the DVD capacity of Xbox is considerably smaller than the Blu-Ray disc capacity which Playstation 3 uses.

I don't mean compared to other platforms, I mean compared to the single DVD you usually get, the more disks the better.

Ahh, my bad. I'd still prefer just one disc though. It really depends on how game developers manage to compress the files.

[vertical limit]

More discs=more features.

 

If you want the game compressed then you will lose some graphic data and such.

Well the Elder scrolls V Skyrim is only one disc, and that game looks as good as it gets..

Tommy, great choices bro, I remember I watched a live F1 race in 2008 in Monza track in Italy, twas raining yet very fun and in the Hotel I met Brazilian football player, Ronaldhino. Accidentally I clicked the format button. FML.

Can someone confirm if the new 250gb Xbox's can get RROD?

I have one (glossy) but so far, nothing has happened to it, I have played countless consecutive hours on it. Not really countless but just plenty of hours.

Fallout 3 will keep you busy for a while. I think I have 80 hours logged in and I just barely scratched the DLC at this point (finished the main story and side quests), so I imagine I'll get at least another 20 hours out of it.

 

Also, it's an awesome game. I need to pick up New Vegas next.

 

[EDIT] Woo, Post #8,000 in this topic. Party

Cancelling your XBox Live membership is f*cking hard. What a joke.

[Icarus]

Cancelling your XBox Live membership is f*cking hard. What a joke.

I know in Canada and the US, if you want to cancel it, you actually have to call the Microsoft hotline to do it; you can't do it online.

 

I take it you have to phone someone, too?

[Slamman]

Mine was 2 months of Gold for 2 USDollars, That basically slipped to 3 months with a charge to Paypal, but my PP funds lacked so MS hit me up with email of course, but the Gold is still active, billing Retroactive so you know. I clicked on a link asking to continue at that time and I said NO (online while logging) that didn't stop the Gold or membership carry-over, so YES, by all means call them or pay the cost, they will bill you for the service if you don't follow their policy to cancel.

 

Last week I saw they offered the Back 2 Skool deal of 48 hours of Gold for $2. I clearly got the better deal.

 

If you continue as I do with their USA plan, you pay $10 a month additional, so it's not that bad really, but it's $25 for 3 months as a card IIRC

Thanks for that little nugget of information slamman. Although that could of been put into 3 sentences instead of an entire paragraph.

 

You still have to call in the UK/Europe to cancel Live. It wasn't such a pain in the ass for me since I actually got a European guy on the end of the line. He did try and sell me more Live though while I was trying to cancel but hey I guess that's just policy. Stupid people would fall for it though I'm sure.

I hope I can just slide this random question in here.

 

I just finished playing the first Mass Effect. Quite enjoyed the game, was pretty easy though. Ended my playthrough having reached the level 50 cap as a Paragon Infiltrator. Tapped Ashley's ass.

 

So now, I've started a second playthrough with my level 50 Shep so I can reach 60 and try out the harder difficulty. My question is, if I play this second playthrough as an asshole Renegade, does that fudge up my nice-guy character for when I start playing Mass Effect 2? I have the game, and I know sh*t carries over. Or am I misinformed?

What's this talk about Crysis damaging your platform?

[*MURDOC*]

What's this talk about Crysis damaging your platform?

Put a little more info in your post please, that was a bit vague.

[EmagmaLak]

They should show up as two different importable save files. Also, do you know how to go about getting to level 60? Basically, you have to do everything and when I say everything, I also mean that you have kill everything on foot and not in the Mako because you get higher experience points.

 

Also, you have to use the same Xbox when importing your save, or have to be creative with how you get the imported save to a new xbox.
