jaguars4ever Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 It's shocking how much worse I am at FPS when using an analogue stick instead of a mouse & keyboard.
Musopticon? Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Yeah, that is common. I tend to repair that lack of experience with ample grenades, a knack at ballistics, complete lack of self-preservation and mad rifle(preferably carbine, after shields are gone, just hit their brains out) rushes to melee distance. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Kor Qel Droma Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 My FPS shooter skills have been described as panicked, jitterish, twitchy, and spastic (my personal fave!). I can see this really being entertaining. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
jaguars4ever Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 You sound like just the man we need. Welcome aboard, Kor!
Nick_i_am Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Yeah, get the full version. I didn't even think of it when buying my xbox, but actually, i've REALLY made use of demos, videos and esspesally the arcade. There's a ton of great oldschool games on there, all of which have multiplayer online options (if it had multiplayer in the first place). Many a time have I teamkilled Llyranor in Golden Axe, Streets of Rage 2, Turtles or Contra. Point is that while the price is higher, the hard drive has been pretty important to my 360 experiance, which has been the first console i've actually really enjoyed owning as more than just 'put in the game and play'. So maybe it would be a good idea to just get Arcade, then buy a hard drive later if you feel you need one. Also, get gold so that we can beat you up online. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
jaguars4ever Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 ...Streets of Rage 2, Turtles or Contra. Golden oldies with online MP?! I'm sold. Gold version it is.
Fenghuang Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 If I ever get out of this hellhole and into someplace with highspeed internet, I'll have to buy a 360 and kill you all. I still prefer my 'puter but I will maul the hell out of some dudes in Halo. RIP
Deraldin Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 My FPS shooter skills have been described as panicked, jitterish, twitchy, and spastic (my personal fave!). I can see this really being entertaining. Mine have been described as "Pure Pwnage" at times. Sadly those times are usually when someone walks right into my crosshairs rather than because of any skill on my end.

I still prefer my 'puter but I will maul the hell out of some dudes in Halo. Speaking of which, I've such upgraded my connection to 10 MB/s. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll get out of the NorCal woodlands sooner or later.
thepixiesrock Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 It'd be worth it for Streets of Rage and Golden Axe, since my Genesis stopped working for some reason.

I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.
Fenghuang Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Well unfortunately, it's a really pretty hellhole. Also, free rent! RIP

Llyranor Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 I'd recommend the premium version. It's a sound investment if you have any plans of playing online or downloading demos. And Nick is a moron. Half the games he listed don't even allow teamkilling. And in the other half he was the victim of said teamkilling. As for FPS gamepad aiming, I used to hate it. Goldeneye was a chore back in the day. Since the past year, though, I've gotten quite used to them, though, and don't really feel like they detract. Sure, there's autoaim and stuff, but that's good enough for me. I mean, I'm not playing photoshop simulator and don't need pinpoint accuracy. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

jaguars4ever Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Shut up you! Llyr's still recovering from a migraine. From walking into your door. Repeatedly.
jaguars4ever Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Okay guys, I'm going to pick it up. But what the hell is the difference between the Halo Edition, Elite Edition, Pro Edition and standard bundle edition(s)?! http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/search.do...amp;x=0&y=0
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 The Elite system features the 120GB harddrive. The Halo system is a different color, and has the 20GB hd. I'm not sure if the Pro has the 20GB hd. I'm thinking that the normal bundle isn't hd equipped either. I'd say go with that Halo package, if only for the memory. Plus, you might confuse some stoopid people by having a 360 that isn't white, which is the standard color. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Sand Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 If you are going to get an XBox360, Jag, the only one worth the money is an Elite system. Not only does it have the larger hard drive, a lot of the kinks the system had at launch has been removed in its production line, plus, from what I have heard, it uses a smaller CPU architecture that doesn't get as hot or at least spreads out the heat more evenly than previous versions of the console.

Elite = Pro/Premium + 120GB HD The ones that don't specify, seem to just be unlabeled Pros if you check the specifications.

Krookie Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) Sand the Elite has like a 120 gigs of space, which is ridiculous. I have the 20 gig hard drive and I have 13 gigs left right now, but I've never dropped below 9. Edited November 1, 2007 by Krookie
