"XBOX - LONGEST THREAD"

Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.


Why am I trying it out anyway?

The XBOX forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.

Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest XBOX game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.

As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)

Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

I'm well into The Thing now, and it's a good adventure. Reminds of Headhunter - not great, but good.
One thing that stuck me is there is virtually no music in the game.... strange.
Ordering around the guys who are with you works well. And there's something satisfying about torching the monsters and hearing them scream.
Anyone into story-driven adventures is bound to like it.

Yeah thats what the mags have been saying. Hmmmmmmmmmm, maybe I'll rent it and try it sometime. ;-)

Hopefully they'll correct the audio fault - which is really bad - apologize and let people know that it's been sorted, then I'll definately buy a copy.

I've been playing The Thing yesterday/today and it's pretty good. It recreates the atmosphere of the film quite well.
Blood testing your squad to see if they're infected doesn't seem to work though. Twice now I've tested people and been given the all-clear, only for them to turn into a monster a few seconds later.
It's a decent adventure/survival horror, but from what I've seen, I wouldn't say it was an essential purchase.

Yeah I might pick up The Thing sometime. If you pick it up you'll have to tell me what you think of it. :-)

Shame about CT3. :-( What a stupid mistake to make on the game. Maybe they'll get the problem sorted.

I wouldn't say that. I've still got CT 1&2 on my DC. :)
But I won't be buying CT3 unless they officially sort out the audio bugs.
Whoever did the PAL conversion is at fault.

Anyway, The Thing quite good - should be a good adventure.

Yeah, i heard people were complaining about that problem.

I thought the demo was decent though! Nomad, you must'nt have gone off CT already surely?

I've put this in here because I don't want to be accused of denting SR sales, but the PAL version of Crazy Taxi 3 is a farce!

It's all to do with the customer's voices.

Every time they speak (when in the cab), instead of hearing their voices, all you get is an extremely loud horrible "growling" sound - which is actually louder than the music.

People on the OXM forum have confirmed that their copies suffer the same problem. I went through two copies yesterday, and I'm taking my current copy back today to swap it for The Thing.

What a joke! It might seem trivial to some, but having looked forward to the game, this is a shameful fcuk up!

Its back? I never knew it went, well I havn't been online for a few days.

Gotta read some of the stuff, I think it all from the TGS.

Cool, gamespot is back online?!

I've been trying to get on there for a while, havnt tried over the last few days though.

Have to give that a look!

For those who are interested, Gamespot have some nice hands on previews ot MGS Substance, HOTD3, Panzer Dragoon Orta and DOA Vollyball, they make good reading.

Love PGR too, want to complete THPS3 FULLY though before I really start playing it. Best car I got so far is the Porche Boxter, nice. I'm finding getting silvers is hard enough, never mind Gold!
