Gamers thread

I've had the console for 2 and a half years and never cleared the cache,

you can do that on a 360?


My first 360 stopped reading disc after about 2 years. The system still played cds and downloadable demos but it would not read any games or dvds.

I ended up buying a new one....


then shortly after I bought the new one the old one decided it wants to start reading games/dvds again.

So now Im stuck with two.....I'm still wondering what caused it to temporarily stop reading disc

Fallout 3 crashed on my PS3 maybe a maximum of 3 times and I beat that game.

Yes, you can do it by accessing “Memory settings” then press Y and you’ll get several options, one of them is clear the cache.

Although I consider myself a nerd....I don't actually know what that means! Is it just like deleting all your saved stuff?

It seems that the best thing that could happen right now would be actually getting the RROD, because that way the 3 year warranty would come into play and I’d have the console repaired without having to pay for it…soooo…anyone knows a way to provoke it? :cool: *lights up the oven*

It may be slightly dishonest but i sent mine in when it only had the two red lights . You just need to tell them that three red lights are flashing and they send you a refurbished console. (Don't send your hard drive!)
 
So I bought God of War 1 and 2 for PS2 after beating GOW3 on PS3 (The PS3 collection edition cost a bit more and Im cheap) Enjoying it so far but GOW2 is so much more epic than 1.


Can't believe I never checked them out.....better late than never i guess

Anyone playimg Mafia 2? I got it today and it's not a bad game.. but I'm a bit let down.The story is good so far..well it's good if you don't mind the fact it's ripped off a lot of the classic mafia movies.

Graphics are good,shooting and combat is okay I guess.But just disappointed that despite being an "open world" there is very little to do outside of the missions which is a shame imo.
 
played the demo, seemed decent

a friend of mine has it and said its kind racist and you're almost raped in a jail shower lol

Yeah it's far from being a bad game,the story is ace.Just would be really cool to have more things to do outside of missions,like In the GTA series.

I don't know if it's racist,it is violent (but no more than any games really) and there is a lot of swearing.But it's not over the top.As for the shower seen..well I don't want to spoil anything but that whole chapter is good.

A lot of games about the mafia rips off classic gangster movies, but you can't argue with the fact that Italian stereotypes are popular for a reason. :)

i bought dead space and bioshock. I tried playing Dead Space for the past hour but it made my head hurt for some reason and it's not really a game I can play during the daytime...

Part of what made Vice City so great was the ripping off of classic gangster movies. Also, I think some of the same actors were involved weren't they?

Yes McLean a great series indeed! My favourite character was Clark Steel. What I loved about the series were the bosses, they were so cheap it was outrageous but hilarious too. Rugal was my favourite boss but he was the only one I ever beat lol

Magaki in XI was a complete utter JOKE I don't how anyone could possibly beat him I'm convinced SNK just put him there for laughs.

YouTube - Cheap Boss Fights- Magaki

Skip to 0:59 for the fight itself. For those of you who haven't played KOF it's similar to other fighting games like Street Fighter but you pick a team of 3 and fight other teams of 3, although bosses usually fight by themselves, since they're much more powerful.

Anyone else catching up on "old" games? As in games most people have beaten yet you're just picking it up? xD
I'm playing Twilight Princess and need to get back to OoT. It's funny, cuz when I talk to fellow nerds/geeks about it they're all like "lol I got that when the Wii came out" or "You haven't beaten that yet? o.o"
