Very very nice!
Brilliant game! Wish I'd checked it out much earlier! I will def' be playing this again via the GOTY version.
Amazing treez
Congrats! :)
You are my hero Treezy!!! Wu-Tang is for the children :)
Thanks guys. Couldn't have put it better my self Diggs!
Oooooooooooo FUCK!
Just smashed Batman Arkham Asylum about as well :'(
and I just smashed Moto GP 10/11 for the 100% as well :(
Word from the boss man himself: "all is well"!
also GRID 2
Good call.i forgot about that one.
real?
ohh i see what you did there.. but its closer in size to the older top loaders
oh dumbass i should have actually looked at the pic first
It was a good giggle. No offense intended btw for those who may be passionate about the next xbox.
i had a chuckle, but im interested by the xbox one, but i want to see more and hear more before i make any decision- still too many rumour/bs floating around.
Ohh damn, you see what i did there, i used common sense :) (still looks like a toploader though :P )
The game's side of things is def' going to be interesting, shame about non-backwards compatability though. I know I'll end up buying one eventually anyway...
..just depends on price and money around the time it releases as to how early I'll get one. Otherwise, my backlog will be keeping me entertained for years!
Unless the next BF features ridiculously huge player filled matches and I'd be missing out if you know what I mean ;)
i honestly don't care about backwards compatibility, i dont play any of my ps2 games on my ps3 (yes i have one that worked), and i have my 360 to play stuff i have on bac
backlog. If we can work it out, could poss do picture in picture of 360 on the xb1ox (ohh see what i did there :P )
As long as Gamerscore carrys across im happy
All I've seen is Dev Beta for CoD Ghosts...And I just want to see more Xbox Games that can show off what it can do..
Video plus :) if they stated that at the unveil I would have been happy. lol
@chronic kaos- they didn`t show much real gameplay at all, it was mostly FMV! PS4 showed a hell of a lot more in game footage for sure... We need E3 to hurry up
Over 5 to start, check. Over 100 not played in a year or more, check.
Right there with ya...
Ditto... I actually think my number is higher than 100.
Xbox One - the best advertisement yet for Playstation 4.
True dat!
i'am flogging my xbox and getting space hopper?
I'm quite happy having switched to PC gaming these last months...
Lot of fluff in that launch... No real details, at lest no details gamers wanted. I thought it was going OK until speak of EA started.
Guess I need to seek professional help as I have way more than 10 lol
Well, looks like if I go next gen I'm getting a PS4.
Go PC
PS4 gives companies the option to not allow their games to be played used.
[00:34:16] Dimmock: Until you see something from MS, believe nothing.
Refer to Dimmock.
I asked the Twitter support account about it, and they denied that so-called fee.
So I would definitely wait until an official statement.
I'll get one. Not only for the new games though. I've been holding out for a blu ray player for a while now
Ill be getting one!
I will be.
I'll be getting one too but I think the days of borrowing Japanese and pal games from friends are over.
How was this one?
Also got it unstarted, so interested to know what a completion is like
Grats.
congrats!
Geez! Congrats!
Hip hop hooray!
oooo you have this too. :D
Umm...hate to break it to you, but there is DRM. They may not call it that, but it is what it is. And it may not be always-on, but it seems to require 'net at some point.
It also seems to require a check-in once every 24 hours.
Looks like it has some sort of DRM that will restrict transfer of used games.
Yeah from what I'm reading you have to pay a fee to play used games once the code has been assigned to an account . This will also basically make renting games pointless.
That would be a no-go for me.
Okay, I'm seeing the articles about the "activation fee" now. So......how's the TrueTrophies site coming along?
In related news, Gamefly stock takes a massive tumble ..........
Seems the 'activation fee' is the full price of the game! I foresee MS allowing you to trade your code in for a very small discount off another game..
I'm a big fan of Microsoft but they can get fucked on restricting used games.
wow, that is horrid.
We'll see how this plays out... Pissing off their primary retail outlet in the US (GameStop) isn't good business for Microsoft...
Not to mention eliminating probably 1/3 of their customer base who don't have internet connectivity.
And... mostly fails. Good job!
SURPRISE!!!!!
i, for one, welcome our new-game-only overlords.
*I
From what I read, he's confirmed that there is a fee, and each one is licensed to a profile. You can trade it in, but you pay a fee.
I've stopped trading in games for what they offer, so it won't affect me much. However, there are people who rely on this to buy new games. Disappointing.
Did you read about the potential to have constant achievement additions? Kinda scared about seasonal achievements or achievements based on memes, etc.
For this I am glad I am not a completionist.
All your feed space are belong to them.
Somebody set up us the Xbox One.
Used Game Market has no chance to survive make your time.
/rimshot
I mean HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS-ON
I don't get the people whining about "having to swap consoles"...am I the only person with an HDTV with multiple hdmi ports??
I'm a little crabbier about potential DRM issues, which I'm imagining will get worse.
I was under the impression that loaning and reselling were considered fair use by the courts.
*sigh* Actually, it looks like it is legal. Fuck you, DRM.
No Backward Compatibility pisses me off. But what REALLY pisses me off is that you won't be able to transfer your XBLA games to the new console. That's pure bullshit IMO.
Count me a whiner... I only have so many HDMI port and so much space. If the PS4 isn't BC, that makes 4 spots just for consoles, plus my PC and I'm 2 over... and no space
Get a hdmi hub!!
And the fact that I have no space for another system already?
1. The age old couple fight over who gets the TV remote will be replaced by who gets voice command
It shares its name with a Pepsi product and that it is a VCR in disguise ?
2. Dogs wearing orange dog unatards are AWESOME!!!
Glad someone else thinks VCR besides myself
Crimson, check whats trending on twitter - its no surprise :)
So if someone shouts, "I WANT A DIVORCE!" the Xbox One will red ring?
^
It does look just like a VCR, not over keen on the design.
No, Treezy you are still a young whipper-snapper with a glorious smile. Myself, i feel like I just got two-pieced: TV & Sports...TV & Sports..TV.....&......Sports :P
That said, I didn't watch it, but I advise those of you who were underwhelmed to at least wait till E3 before final judgment.
It's not the lack of games that has me sad -- though I don't like it. What I dislike is that they didn't hit any of the rumors and said a few lines that seem to...
I didn't expect anything gaming, to see things on the sports titles and even Cod was surprising. Start the new countdown!
confirm the "always on" rumor. Which could make every game susceptible to "server outages". =/
these are the people that expect the iphone to be dedicated to music.
a lot of the services will be tied to the cloud. this is a surprise? doesn't mean it won't play games/dvds/bds without a connection.
^this. I do understand people not liking that those things weren't addressed, but they weren't going to talk about that now.
@Beavis: No doubt, but it also doesn't say that it will either. MS is aware the rumor is going around and didn't say anything. So they are either hiding it or just daft.
exactly. this was an introduction and i think a pretty good one.
@Matrarch: True and it's their show, so they can do what they want. However if they are trying to excite me in to wanting the console this early, they have failed.
dude, they aren't going to devote their intro to debunking rumors. what kind of sales pitch would that be?
Also, I keep saying this, we're not the target audience. Gamers will buy a gaming console. This conference was about attracting new eyes and getting a pop.
They really don't need to show games to prove it plays them. We know it's going to do that.
well, i am just shocked that they didn't go into these dynamic achievements and how they would be affected by server closures.
You're right, there's no reason for them to talk about backwards compatibility, LIVE service improvements or changes, and if the console needs Internet to function...
none of that will be important to a someone buying their first console. I wasn't impressed, you were, great... I'm not trying to convince you to be unimpressed.
Tried saying the same thing...after saying it twenty five times, I have up.
And they made an announcement : http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/21/xbox-one-doesnt-require-internet-connection
because those are not core features. they talked about 4 or 5 major selling points and left it at that. you leave them wanting more, not bore them to death with details
Matarachie, funny you should say that. I was on my way to the fridge to get get me a cold pop. It appears I missed something. Dayum!
I'm not saying that they shouldn't talk about that stuff, I'm just saying I'm not at all surprised they didn't. I didn't see the show, so I really have no opinion either
way. We will get all this information, I'm just not surprised it wasn't in the context of this conference.
I get where the industry is right now, you know I do, I can't help but know, but from where 'I is' playing my games from right now, I need that core-goodness in my life.
The primary focus was "One" the convienince store of gaming, or the Costco of consoles, whatever you prefer.
It's not about the lack of games it was about the evasive marketing standpoint they took. Xbox LIVE TV with paid subscrition required from your provider, or...
how they flashed by the tech. The new tech is essentially the same as a "low-end" gaming PC. The highlight was EA and MS are now having children together.
did all of those channels they showed require a digital cable subscription? did anyone catch if xbox live will be offering some sort of service?
Gaming consoles have pretty much always had low end gaming PC Tech. It's dedicated hardware, so they can do that.
The backwards compatibility thing being what it is, I'll be waiting on this. Still looking forward to what they bring to E3, though!
When they announced it, the presenter stated that he was: "A Comcast subscriber" and this is what he has for live TV...if that is any indication :)
oh, well that at's a little disappointing.
I liked it. I don't really care about backwards compatibility and I always buy my games new (not necessarily straight away). I think they have a sale with me ;)
Highlights of the show in less than 2 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbWgUO-Rqcw
Its a great game, dont think it sold too well though. I've got the Nightmare in Northpoint to do at some point.
Wow bug number, grats
Crazy! Well done Jessie.
We will do some co-op soon in Ms. Splosion Man Jessie, let me know when ur free
nice1
Nothing suits the sound of a breaking neck best than disco :)
The game's awesome, but not a fan of these bits.
*giggles like a little girl*
can't wait.
#1, so much agreement.
.1 drink for "entertainment", .25 for "experience" - anything higher may be lethal.
I'm going to try and stay on media blackout about the announcement(s) until I can catch up tomorrow night.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear man. Thanks for the Batman share.
I've gotten 'hooked' on my morning cup o' joe and crossword.
i need the team achievement... help me out :-)
crashing at start (when trying to sign in) ?
I couldn't even access the Marketplace to download the game this morning. :(
Yeah...booting me out of the game after signing in, when it says 'connecting'. And boo on the MP not letting you access it M :(
Internet off, start game, internet on, sign in. It Works for me that way cuz i still have this same problem
Haha...I was just playing around and did that myself. After loading and joining a game I got the W-Team achievement. Thanks!!!
:)
up up up xD
nice game to get this one on :-P
impressive1
Awesome buddy
nice! :)
awesome!
Congrats! that's a whole lot of aCheevos!
Well done
Congrats!
BAZINGA!!!
Whoa! Nice :D
Nice work
I'm only 70 games behind you ;) Great job though amazing accomplishment
Nice!!!! I really enjoyed this one.
Not playing this because the first one glitched on me, can't get three achievements. =(
Happy tanniversary!
Wow PL, you are on a roll recently for celebrations :P Happy TAnniversary!!!
Happy TAnniversary!!!
Nice one
Awesome.
Fahhhk that glitchy shit. Thanks, Marian!
collector!
Nice
Big number!
What took you so long? hehehe
Haha, if not for WP and Win8, I'd still not be quite this bad. ;)
Remind me again.. Did you get a tablet or a laptop?
Laptop. I just needed a keyboard and a bigger screen.
What the hell you laughing at?
I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
LOL it's 87 here.
That is exactly why we moved away!!!
It hasn't gotten over 70 all year in Oklahoma yet. Usually in the 40s and 50s. It's global cooling.
I'm just south of you, Weis (Northeast Texas) and we are constantly in the mid to upper-80s
Here in MN, early May had a week where it snowed and hit 90 a few days later...
In April we had 5 days that were record lows ever. And not in a row either.
Manchester UK. Chucking down with rain, same as every other day.
Its been below freezing nearly every night in Vermont so she's mad at everyone it seems.
May the 18th and I've put the heating on! Pathetic.
Chilly here in Leicestershire, we actually had a bit of sleet/hail the other day :(
Still snowing and it is actually 'sticking'. There's about an inch on the ground and it's 29F. Hopefully it will kill most of the mosquitos (the AK state bird).
We set a new record...long time between first and last snow; First snow Sept 29, 2012, last snow (for the love of all things good, please be the last snow) May 18, 2013
Uhh I mean ...
I guess you don't need me anymore. Nice job!
Well done Dave
Nice! :)
Felt like you needed to play a challenging game huh? :-p
Lol! Fun though
Smb
Loved MSM but after really delving into Meat Boy and the going back to MSM I realized how slow ot was. I recommend Meat Boy :)
phone didn't autocorrect like I'd hope
Super Meat Boy ... one of my favourite arcade games, loved it. The Guy is a bitch though.
SUPER MEAT BOY
SMB all the way! Should I not save the best till last?
Fun game.
Yeah pretty fun.i also like the voice actor for asura is the same guy that was in darksiders.lol
Nice!
Well done.
Legit?
Jolly good show!!!
Grats
Legit!
Nice number.
Wewt, going to download this ASAP
It's pretty easy generally, but the last stage took me a while. I'd like to chalk it up to being time crunched, but it may just be hard!
How long it take?
Took about an hour on everything but the last stage, and then about an hour on the last stage.
Might grab it later.
The last one was pretty challenging yes, I kept overjumping pentagons
Guess the DLC is not that popular yet. I downloaded it after I noticed you completed it and I'm right behind you in amount of people who completed it
Might be because the DLC was not announced and just showed up all of a sudden
I only noticed the DLC was coming because I was down a completion. Then we published an article yesterday, so I grabbed it.
Oh, I missed the article. I've been looking every week on thursday if the DLC was available ever since I lost the completion
Nothing good can come of this (coming from a guy who loathes the very idea of online passes)
It seems like a step in the right direction to me... I don't see how this can be bad.
I'm with planting42 this is a big win for us gamers! Now if we could do something about the servers going down! One thing at a time a guess.
wow agreeing with plant this is great news!
I suspect that EA will start closing the servers even quicker claiming they are costing too much.
just 2 weeks after I've purchased 2 online passes for 800msp. but still awesome news :)
This tells me that EA know something about next gen so they are doing something now so when the crap hits the fan people will not rage against them.
There going to make that money back some how!
They will replace it with something worse. This is EA, after all.
They're raking it in on DLC so it's dumb to limit people's access to the online modes when they can sell them extras for that mode.
Has everyone forgotten they plan on turning everything F2P
...looks like cock...
I see what you did there...
Not as badass as promised in fact...
Terrible. I knew it was a bit rubbish, that's why I've left it so long, getting pretty bored though now. Just a few more side missions to go.
Didn't like any DLC really for this game.
I'm with you there. Just a lot of walking/driving from place to place to kill/collect and repeat.
Gearbox is, in fact fooling around, they did not develop any of the three first dlc... just Krieg & the fourth dlc.
Also, what in the hell is going on with my man-bro-friend, Dog of Thunder and this completion challenge thing?
Rape.
Who knows.
LOVE IT!!!
Sorry Dog, Completion is long overdue for you my fellow hound.
Hmmm this seems very similar to the Stallion83 one...
Didn't have a clue about a Stallion one to be honest.
The stallion one is a case of telephone and was started by someone else. The stallion one is a fake.
Futiles started the one for me.....for some reason....
This one's the real deal people.
done
Seems more legit than some kids getting a puppy for some likes, so why not?
WHERE'S THE SHARE LINK?
What is happening!?
How did you get this to work? Mine crashes as it tries to load :(
I keep having issues, but I was able to complete a public game just a bit ago. Laggy as all hell though.
Can I be on your team?
Sure can dosville

SEGA!
SWEEEEETT
The grand finale! Hope baby splosion is in the works
^ Barring the possibility that the last 5 levels could be more insane than a monkey asylum.
xxxxxx-YYYYYYY-BBBBBBB-AAAAAAA- take disk out and chuck in the thrash ,mate it's a cheat code and it works 100%.......lol
Yeah, the game is total shite. I didn't think voice acting could get any worse than Raven Squad, but I was wrong.
Maybe you should offer your talents to voice a sequel :D
Nice, very nice Mr Kinetic !
Great stuff DK!
Awesome Dave
Lol finally, considering we played this together at release like a yer or more ago lol
Couldn't be arsed with the collectibles and tidying up some of the missing achievements. Time to start finishing off some games though before new console launch.
Doesn't it auto-save when you scan a collectible?
That's what I originally thought but I wasn't seeing a symbol to show that it was saving. Guess I'll find out in half hour after this food!
Doesn't it save if you leave an area, like from 1 major room to another?
I believe Swan is correct, the game saves when you change area. Autosaving is good, but I'd always prefer a hard save feature.
Ok thanks guys! If that's the case then all my collectables so far should be intact!
Damn, lost my Med Facility ones as I hadn't left before switching off. Well, at least I know now. Thanks guys!
Treezy is this game any good? For some reason I keep putting off playing it despite the number of versions they made!
I went to a new area after 10 collectibles or so and it saved automatically
Lumia 920. I had the Lumia 800 and had no complaints whatsoever so I bet the 920 will be excellent as well
The camera on the 920 means you never have to take a separate one out with you. It's a bit big though.
The bigger, the better (at least thats what my fiancéee tells me)
um...great job?
Go for top 100 Jessie forget retails!
Very impressive
Keep it up!
Thanks. I haven't really felt like playing much retail lately. Correction, I really haven't felt like playing on the xbox all that much.
Probably just enjoying playing on the Win8 and WP too much. I have been missing playing some Kinect games though...only been doing my workouts lately.
Blasphemy that you haven't completed Home Run Stars after getting the glitched achievement
boom
With no slowdowns! Not that I'm sure they'd help. The couple times I tried to use them, I wind up dying right away. :P
yea, i got it on w8 with no slowdowns... now, you need the 2 toughest cheevos, if you get them, you might motivate me to try again, and fail...
I've been just running practice on the last 9 chapters. Got them down to one death. It's definitely possible. Rescue, on the other hand...
Nice!!
Woot
Niceee!
Very well done
Thankies!!!
Go you!
Very Nice!
Any good?
It was a fun little puzzle game. Quite easy and not too long. I would definitely recommend it especially because it's only $1.50...at least it is in the US.
I liked it. Also it was free a little while back
HOLY CRAP that was a pain in the ass.
I once had a needle in my ass
A little more difficult than I had expected too.
I would if I can get my hands on some points soon!
Happy Mother's Day to you!
Happy Mothers Day Jessie
Happy Mothers Day Jessie! You should get yourself a Surface as a gift!
Who decided to have Mother's Day at different times of year in different countries? Made me panic.
Thanks!!! The day was really great. Sorry to make you panic CS...and I have no idea why different countries do their own day.
???????????????????? wtf
...surprised to see the server is still up
Not as bad of a game as people made it out to be.
Glhf
Going to set up a slip 'n' slide in the corridors like my year did on our last day at school?
Look forward to it!
nice job. that game is hard for me
BOO YA!
Starting a bunch of xbla games with the letter "A" today, I see. I recommend after burner climax and alan wake's American nightmare. :)
Yeah I've already played those.American nightmare is good.
Phew!!! Last two achievements are tough. Ratio is spot on for difficulty there.
Chapeau Jessie! I do not have the patience for those. Any tips you can share?
Awesome
No 'real' tips, just the same thing I do with pretty much every platformer. Try to learn the level to avoid death, then retry, retry, retry and retry.
Ugh, sounds awful. Congrats on being such a badass!
Congrats! Loved this game. 8)
I loved that game...though I agree completing it was rough. My advice...take a day or two off before breaking your phone and come back fresh and calm
You must have big tentacles!
A challenge to complete, but completely worth it. Amazing game. Definitely in my top 3 for mobile games
Excellent job guys!
I'm really enjoying it actually, gave me some great interest in games and some good insight on the new gen Xbox.
Oh great.... Now I have podcast backlog!
I cant make it work on my phone
Me neither. I can't find a link directly to the mp3 either.
get iPhones, l00sers.
Who... Are You? :p
...Morpheus?
I am....legend!
who who... who who.... whooooo are you? who who... who who...
You didn't just quote CSI did you?
deluxnugs: cannabis bud that comes in nuggets of varying sizes, of supreme quality and the very highest of Thc levels.sometime reffered to as dro nougherts.
I think you'll find I actually quoted The Who. ... are you.
"...quote CSI..." I don't want to live in this world anymore.
*Wearing a gas mask, speaking in a British accent* Are you my mummy?
Free game. Wheee!
what? when? why? how? where?
thanks a0e monkey the tips you told me helped out.
pretty!!!
Congrats
Thankies. Super glad this one can be checked off the list.
Grats!
Congrats Jessie!
this girl is simply a machine! what's the average recently, 1-2 completions per day? congrats!
I only wish it was that good. The Pac-Man day doesn't count.
HELL YES!!! Stupid game and trying to load it. Note for others, if you get the game to load, send all the freak'n mp invites you can before exiting.
And don't exit the game unless you have to. The game seems to not like to load if you've loaded it 'too many times'.
I got the online achs done already I gotta just do some 1P stuff - nice job btw.
Congrats. Was glitchy on me too.
Congrats! There's a workaround if you can get people sending lots of invites, but it's still a pain. I've helped about 5 people with this one already, lol. 8)
That's pretty much what we ended up doing. I had to delete and reinstall the game, then send A TON of invites that my boosting partner ignored for a week.
Hopefully they'll get theirs that way at some point too.
I'm just doing it with two phones.
Congrats! I need someone to send me some more invites... this is annoying.
It's super annoying. And Sasha, you can send me all the invites you want. I'll ignore them and in 7 days you'll get the wins.
I thought someone had to send me invites first? If not, that's SO much easier!
Yeah, letting them time out is MUCH easier, if you can get the stupid thing to load. You still can only send about 10 an hour.
Just sent 10. I was under the mistaken notion that someone had to actually set up ships rather than just invite. This is MUCH easier!! Thanks!
I also thought you had to return them to someone who sent them to you (placing ships doesn't matter). Interesting. If it stops loading, you can delete and
reinstall as long as they haven't started to time out yet, so you don't lose any wins.
This means Punky and I can actually be picky this time! (Kidding, kidding! It's always a tough choice! :))
I'd apply but i don't know if i'm made of the right stuff for news, i'm more on the being on the news rather then reporting it
How does the team decide who writes which story? Do you seek out your own material or have a list of subjects that you assign?
Punky creates a headlines post and it's all a claims system after that. Of course, people are encouraged to find their own stories, too!
Sounds interesting. :)
If I could write a good article, I'd love to do it. However, I can't, so I shan't.
We really have it down to a pretty smooth process. Our bigger concern lately has been keeping the quality of posted work high.
The team is also growing to cover several things (editorials, reviews, podcasting), so we need people to help churn out articles. We do our best
to minimize the time required by our staff, though!
And by 'we', I mostly mean Punky. ;)
So what you're saying is...need moar?
I thought of it, but I'm sorely lacking in time these days, better idea if I don't. I'll stick to writing guides.
Good job
I'm still sinking my teeth into it, but it's not grabbing me like Skyrim and Fallout 3 did.
It feels too big, lots of stuff in it but empty at the same time. Though i haven't done main missions yet
No, it's not grabbed me either. I found it amazing that there were missions as bland as 'tail this guy and don't be seen'.
Plus the 'burn the fields of drugs. Oh, here's a handy flamethrower!'. I expected more. My fault perhaps? I don't know.
I loved the first half, but it wore off quick.
Who are you?
Maaaaaybe!
You're always still cool here.
Depends...
Still cool
This guy? Who is this guy!? Where you been at Alpha boy?
The coolest
Did you just wake up from comma??? hehehe
You're yesterday's news, grandpa!
I'd have to agree with the coolest.
He totally woke up from a comma. He promises he will never pause his sentences again.
^Oh, I just found this. Awesome dig. :) Nate is alive?
you found someone then?
Yes! Cheers mate.
i wonder what game that was lol
LOL! Great completion though
Never again lol. I think I'll take a break from boosting for a little bit.
don't blame you.
