yea...I noticed that also
 
You can increase the volume in the options menu.

Even after that, it still sounds a bit lower than other games.
 
[quote name='ZerotypeX']Anyone up for a game? Im on live right now[/QUOTE]

I'll be hopping on in a bit if the family let's me ;).
 
I really like this game. It's a lot of fun, even if you suck at it (as I do). Anyone else notice a lot of gliches in the online modes especially when there are 8 players?
 
[quote name='SteveMcQ']I suck, but now I see what I've been missing all these years.[/QUOTE]

Same here - never played before the night this got released. Now I may crack out those DS, PSP, and GC versions that I still have sitting around somewhere sealed ;).
 
I suck (never played a Bomberman before this one either), but that was a blast playing an 8-player CAG match last night. I'm up for it (or smaller groups) whenever :)

We need to get Gallagher DVDs for everyone that played I think. ;)

:D :D :D It was a pretty massive night. Didn't get to sleep till after 4 AM. :)

A big thanks to all the CAGs who joined in to bomb and be bombed. Playing with you guys makes XBL infinitely more fun.

I noticed a few glitches last night. A couple big ones. One was Match scores. I was only playing with 2 other people and the after match round up looked like this:

Two of us had these stats on screen:
Player 1: 3 wins
Player 2: 2 wins
Player 3: 1 win

Now the game was set to 3 wins and it should have been over, except our third player saw these stats on his screen:

Player 1: 2 wins
Player 2: 2 wins
Player 3: 1 win

The game continued on even though it should have been over. Very odd. There was also camera problems where one of us couldn't see the others after some matches(saw the default Bomberman avatar) and other matches it worked. It's definitely fun and probably the definitive Bomberman to date, but looks like it could have used a bit more testing.

Good times. Hopefully we can do that again soon. Anybody planning on playing tonight? If so, send me an invite if you see me piddling around with Viva Pinata.
 
I'll be picking this baby up July 29th. Go check out Speedy's ad postings about the Circuit City $20 off two live cards. It'll be nice to get games for 5/2.50 versus 10/5. See you then!
 
I am really considering getting this but I want to know one thing. Almost every online xbl game has almost no one playing after about a month. Will this be the same way or will it stay active enough to still have fun.

What I do is look ahead to see if theres anything anyone could start playing online ahead of this time.


I haven't really looked up arcade games, I know Speedball and Sensible Soccer are coming out in August so they could take away Bomberman online players. Same with Madden.



I could see people playing this one for a while, though. It's gotten great reviews, I don't have my 360 hooked up to live right now so I wouldn't know how active it is online.

Everyone has this game and is very pick up and play. It's the next Uno which if you check still has a bunch of people playing.
 
Finally got the "Joy of Painting" achievement. Found out that its really easy to get on the level called "Blast", basically there's no where to take cover from the flames there's holes everywhere, using the "dangerous bomb" I got 156 colored titles, the closest I got before on the default level was 127.

Hmmm... I'm not sure what level I did this on, but the way I got it was to turn on only the dangerous bomb, speed boosts, full fire powerup, and I think, power bombs just to be safe. You really need to get a fully powered-up dangerous bomb near the end of the time and then just run from side-to-side dropping them. You keep killing the other guys and this keeps them from having any power-ups to nail you with.

Yeah, there are a lot of glitches
 
[quote name='H-Town Info']I might pick this up tonight[/QUOTE]

Do IT!!

There will probably be some people on to play with, I'll be on tonight.

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Live-Camera-Bundle/dp/B000GT4MQI/[/quote]Yeah, considering I could jsut tack on another year of live (13 months?) and get the camera and pass along the free UNO code to someone (since I got mine free) it's tempting.

Is the headset the same as the one that came with the Premium 360?

[quote name='mr ryles']I want a camera.[/QUOTE]

heh, I forgot I put in an ebay best offer bid of $15 for a camera, and he accepted it. Guess I have a camera coming now.
 
[quote name='CAG 79']Finally got all 200/200. Good times.[/QUOTE]

How did you get the 10 in a row in a ranked tournament? That sounds impossible.

I finally got all the outfits and am ready for some cowboy action ;).

Just find somebody to boost with. If you need help getting the online achievements, just let me know when you see me online.

I thought you couldn't invite to a ranked match though? If you know how I'll take you up on it though ;).
 
bought this and anxiously await games with fellow CAGs since I'm not daring enough to play random people and lose miserably. 12 y/o taunting is not something I enjoy, and I don't have a "summer vacation" to learn games I've never played before, like Bomberman.

:D

There's not a lot of taunting in this game, at least in the games I've played. Playing with Super Revenge is especially sweet -- anyone's got a fighting chance then.

Except for the 30-seconds or so of vision cam gloating when you win... :) Or the potential for smack-talking throughout the whole match.

Bomberman has the potential to be one of the ugliest experiences on XBLA. So far I've kept it pretty much entirely with CAGs and have had good times. (The smack-talking and vision cam gloating is more tolerable when it's one of you guys!) :D
 
I need to get me that "Girl Power" achievement.

Won't be on anymore tonight, but I'll gladly get some games in tomorrow night, if anyone is interested.
 
I've mostly been playing single player, haven't tried the online multiplayer yet. I'll be on tonight and most nights. Feel free to add me or invite me to a game if you see me online!
 
got all the achievements except the 60 costumes one. I'm thinking the best way to get it will be playing zombie with 2 minute rounds.
 
I've been playing this religiously since its release. Feel free to add me to your friends lists. I'd love to play this online with other CAGs sometime.
 
[quote name='mr ryles']got all the achievements except the 60 costumes one. I'm thinking the best way to get it will be playing zombie with 2 minute rounds.[/QUOTE]
2 minute rounds, Plunder Isle (or whatever the hell it's called). Start outside the treasure chests, against one easy opponent. Wait a minute, get the costume, kill the guy. Repeat.
 
[quote name='io']I thought you couldn't invite to a ranked match though? If you know how I'll take you up on it though ;).[/QUOTE]

You just do a custom match search in ranked mode. I'll help out io if you help me ok?
 
[quote name='A Happy Panda']Any tips for getting the achievement for killing 3+ CPU opponents at once?[/QUOTE]


Yeah turn off all powerups except full fire and dangerous bombs.
 
[quote name='porieux']Yeah turn off all powerups except full fire and dangerous bombs.[/QUOTE]

I tried playing zombie mode with 7 other CPU players with those settings and it wasn't happening. There were only like 2 dangerous bomb powerups in the whole game, and with all the chaos, you only hold onto it for like 10 seconds.
