Oh I needed a good laugh.

Gameboy player for the Gamecube?
OK that was definitely quality as was the SNES one, though neither one really was a run away commercial success I don't think.

 
I'm surprised at Phil's meandering comments from Thursday.

Game Informer has a pretty good rundown of the confusion Phil's comments have caused.  Is he talking about hardware improvements/revisions mid-cycle?  (Polygon's take)  Is he talking about shorter console cycles? (Game Informer's inference)

Microsoft refuses to expound upon Phil's thoughts, so his remarks just sort of....sit there; wading in their own frustrating, unspecific babble.

I like to think he's going...somewhere...with his comments; that he's prepping us for upcoming news.  An E3 surprise of some kind, perhaps?

 
Nope, that was a complete and utter failure. Wandered into my local game store yesterday, they had one of those and had the gall to want $40 for it. Sadly, I remember buying mine the day it released.
How HD-DVD movies even exist?

What is that, anyway?
A new video format, called HD DVD, developed by Toshiba and a bunch of other companies to compete with Blu-Ray. Microsoft decided to take the ill-fated format on as a way to challenge the Blu-Ray player in the PS3.

 
Is Destiny enjoyable without the DLC?  Just asking because I purchased the base game dirt cheap and am wondering if I should be looking for the Taken King pass.  I'm thinking I should play it first and see if I like it, and make a decision after that.  The CAG in me just wants to find a cheap code and buy it right now, even though when I finally do get to the game next summer I may not like it

they're planning another "expansion" soon, so you may as well wait until they release the entire original game by the end of the year after they're done selling it off in chunks.

It's not worth the time and effort. There's rumors that a another dlc will be coming in the spring or summer to keep things fresh and the max level will be increased again. but Bungie is very hush hush on these rumors. If anything, they do weekly updates posts every Thurs and so far, they just give hints of a hint about future content. Quite literally make the whole weekly update talking about a whole lot of nothing in these past 2 months.

 
People rag on HD-DVD, but it's not like it was an inherently terrible idea (for gaming). It just had a different strategy than BluRay.

It was better in terms of gaming because back when storage space was noticeably more expensive for 360, it didn't have mandatory installs for games like BR (because BRs have a much slower read speed), and the drawback was minimal because games weren't nearly as gigantic as they are today (partly because compressing files properly is now a lost art because of how much storage space we have available now). The games were even able to be installed to the hard drive if you saw fit. Their problem was that there was no need for BR installs for things that could be read slower (movies), taking away BR's major setback, which led to them dominating the movie space, and that was the end for HD-DVD.

It was really only towards the end of the 360's lifespan that the limited space on HD-DVDs became an issue, with only a small selection of games not coming to the platform because of it (I can only think of Blazblue Chronophantasma and MGS4). However, with the way things are now, there's no way that the Xbone could have adopted anything that didn't provide massive amounts of disk space, so it's probably for the best.

For movies they were an inferior format, definitely.

The games were standard dvds as I recall. The HD-DVD player was only used as the separate add on for movies.

Oh boy. Now I'm embarrassed. I was always under the impression that they were a variant of HD-DVDs and they were gouging you for a movie player. I think the original Xbox also had a necessary peripheral for watching DVDs despite the games being DVD-Roms.

Forget what I said. :oops:

I don't have The Taken King add ons and I'm honestly enjoying Destiny a lot. The demo caps at Level 5 but since buying the vanilla version, I've leveled up to Level 23. I don't know how much is unlocked until I get the Taken King content, but I just unlocked Venus which is the third planet full of levels.

There's also a couple of multiplayer modes like Crucible and Vanguard which are also a lot of fun.

Play it first to see if you like it. I'm playing pre-TTK (vanilla+dlc1+dlc2) and there's enough content but all the year1 loot has been made obsolete by the higher lvl cap and new TTK loot. You can only play 3 PvP gamemodes without TTK (6v6, 3v3 and FFA) and I'm pretty sure you can't participate in public events. I have about 25 hours of playtime and completed all the story content available for me by myself, but there's probably more in TTK.

 
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned on here but Prison Architect is now available under Game Preview.
That was a surprise hit for me on PC. I didn't think I would like it, but ended up putting in 50+ hours. That was when it had way less content than it has now so I might be getting this one soon.

Really? I haven't played it, but it looks more like busy-work than it does fun. How I felt after trying Sheltered, too.

I will download the trial though...

Has anyone here played Beautiful Katamari before? I played the demo but it was so short that I couldn't get an idea if I liked it or not. I know it was a pretty big franchise in the past so I wanted to know if this one was good.
 
So has anyone gotten Supreme Commander 2 to show up in their "Ready to Install" section on X1?

Can't wait until they implement the ability to buy 360 games on X1. Hopefully that'll fix problems like this (I also still have not been able to get Ikruga to show up either).

Yep, I "bought" it on Xbox.com Monday night and downloaded it to my XBO shortly thereafter.

 
Has anyone tried Mega Man Legacy Collection? I'm considering grabbing it to finally give Mega Man a fair shot, but I've heard the 3DS version is wonky in a couple spots due to emulation. Wondering if it's the same on Xbone.

I have it and it's still pretty true to the originals. The thing that people really seemed to hate about it was the on-disc paywall DLC.

The IGN review is pretty spot-on with this one:

http://www.ign.com/articles/2007/10/11/beautiful-katamari-review

I really hope it becomes BC.

Odd. I also bought it on Xbox.com but it doesn't show up for download nor was it added to my download queue.

Of course, if I go to the store page on X1, it just has the "bundle only" link that gives you an error.

I've had no issues with the emulation and I've played through MM2 & MM3. I like it.
 
Yeah that was some BS. That limitation can be removed by softmodding the Xbox, which means it wasn't even a hardware limitation.
IIRC, wasn't it just a small plastic piece that went into one of the controller slots?

2 side notes... first I spent the last 5 minutes trying to figure out what's wrong with my laptop. For some reason, when I was pressing the "I" key, it was making upside down exclamation points...

Next, did anyone here enjoy Watchdogs at all? Ended up getting it for about $.50 yesterday and am debating on keeping it or selling it back to Gamestop

It's a fine version of those games, but it's really disappointing that the super-old Mega Man Anniversary Collection (Xbox/PS2 era) has more games (1-8 rather than 1-6), and better bonus content (both Mega Man Power Battle games, bonus video content, as well as a remixed music option).

Go to store checker and see what region the games you want to buy are the cheapest from an purhase online cards from thaht region.

I'm used to buy Brazilian cards from offgamers and had some nice deals on prices on the brazilian marketplace.
Someone posted this over on Reddit in response to someone asking if xbox currency was on sale. Isn't this what people are getting banned for?

 
Only pick up for me this week is Enslaved.

Mega Man Legacy is only on Xbox One right?   Like Shovel Knight, I'd buy it if it were available on the 360.

It was not entirely BS. If you choose to have a device that plays DVD's you need to pay royalties to the DVD consortium. MS left this royalty payment in the hands of those that want to use their console as a DVD device as opposed to including DVD royalties in the buy cost like PS2.

I don't know if they're as quick to ban when you use actual money. I figured the Oman Wars were as bloody as they were because the games were free.

 
I doubt they are going to make a console itself upgradeable, but if they could release an Xbox Two that is completely backwards-compatible with all Xbox One games but upgrades the anemic GPU and memory, that would be interesting.  The only problem is that developers would have to support both and accept limitations on the older platform (e.g. you get 30 fps/900p on Xbox One and 60 fps/1080p on Xbox Two) or games would start being labeled "Xbox Two only" which would split the community.  So yeah, the whole idea is pretty much a mess.  :)
