It's happened, mine has broke

Yeah, I've had a go at Saints Row, and it hasn't really impressed me that much. Car driving is a little awkward, and the health a little iffy (I shoot someone, run them over, and they get up - but kick em a couple of times and their A-OK). Most of the cut-scenes made me cringe, too.

Still, I enjoyed playing up to the bit where you have to chase and kill the guy in the car. After failing that a couple of times, I couldn't be bothered.

I've just had a go at Dead Rising, too. The initial fun of hacking Zombies was ruined by not being told how to stop them chewing at my jugular. Plus there was that butt-ugly woman in the first cutscene. And the "After this we need to have a little chat" line was a little ambiguously delivered - was it flirty or angry ?!

i really liked saints row myself. as for the graphics.. i'm running in HD on a LG tv and i aint had any problems at all. maybe its something to do with samsung tv's?

i aint got round to playing dead rising yet mind.

Loads of people over on the *cough* OXM forums are having huge problems with the demo, including massive frame rate drops, and I don't think they are all Sammy owners.

Meh.. Apart from the tearing, the graphics are pretty good, as is the pedestrian AI, I'll say that for them.

[Cerebral Wolf]

ill shut up then lol. didnt realise it was such a wide spread problem.. i think its gonna be a great game. i'm really looking forward to it. its gotta be much more fun than playin blazing angels.. this games driving me nuts trying to get the last 150 points outta it! grr"!

[Apple]

ill shut up then lol.

Good

Yeah... I'm starting to get a little tired of Oblivion.... I'm just not sure it'll keep me going untill Two Worlds comes out!

its just a game.shhittttt.i have not yet played it as i am waiting for mine from play on the 1st.but im sure it is a great game.is it true you can smoke weed n drink n rob shops??

[Jimmy Kruger]

.but im sure it is a great game.is it true you can smoke weed n drink n rob shops??

smoke weed?... check

drink?..... check

rob shops?.... check


Yep thats all the critirea for an epic game right there. LOL


I really can't get over how alike this is to GTA. It's pretty sad that a game developer cannot even inject any ideas into a game.
The game seems to be fairly good, but there is no way i would buy it. I will wait fro GTA and play that, purely because i have played the others.

Also... ICEBERG SLIM inspired that attitude???... erm........ ok.

[Henri Lloyd]

naw from the videos i have seen and what i have read about joining gangs and fighting ova gangs,it sounds great to me.i will def get it,but it should tide me ova till Oct 07 for gta

Heh, back in the forum after a long lay off.

Yea... mine is broke too. Lasted from December to August... it broke during the heatwave, so could be a power overheating issue, alternatively it could be the backwards compatibility upgrade which caused problems... I had difficulties with Half-Life 2 running on my 360. Ah well...

[Cerebral Wolf]

good to see you back doc..

nevermind mate, atleast HL2 is getting released on the 360 as a 360 title too and not something thats b/c. i'm waiting for that personally... never played HL2 either yet.

[CJX]

Yeah, I've never played HL2 either. Would it be worth getting on the 360 though - I gather it's quite an old game...
