After the incredibly poor reception of this expansion i don't see many people jumping straight into another one so easily.

That and none have been announced but the other expansions were announced months ago

Actually, the first three were announced and people thought that was it. The turn around time between announcement of Point Lookout (and Mothership Zeta) to it's arrival was only a couple of weeks. Many people were cocksure there were only going to be 3 DLC's.

Bethesda described their game as being amongst the upper echelons and that it would push past 1250 and be comparible to games like Halo 3 and Gears of War 2. Taking into consideration that they announced Point Lookout only a couple of weeks before releasing it I wouldn't be surprised to see another DLC.

PGR4 is the game of choice atm but getting rather pissed off with cheating AI

Nothing as I think my 360 may be on it's last legs. 2 1/2 years old and is now freezing on my regardless of what I am playing

Psymonkee · 07-08-2009, 22:47

Mine did that, then some graphical corruption. Then I mentioned the phrase 'Rock Band Night' and BAM! RRoD!

give it 3 weeks

Wossi · 07-08-2009, 23:37

Might hurry the RRoD on and get it sent for repair as soon as I can.

Wossi · 08-08-2009, 00:34

Bah, I've finally been hit by the RRoD. Turned it on to see if would randomly work, nope. Dead as a dodo.

What's the deal with sending it off to Microsoft nowadays?

go to xbox.com and set it all in motion yourself.

Print off the UPS label when it arrives, box up your 360 (I used a plastic carrier to wrap the console, shredding as padding - gets rid of paper waste for free \0/), affix label to box (tape all over!) and give UPS a call.

First time I phone about 9.30am and got a same day pick up! Second time was next day pick up

AI doesn't cheat on PGR4. Just needs skills!

I just 1k'd Bully tonight. Can't believe I waited so long to play it, what a really nice surprise it was. Why oh why couldn't Grand Theft Auto 4 have been that much fun to play?

It's been an RPG fest for me today.
Spent a couple of hours this morning playing Tales of Vesperia and a couple of hours this evening with Valkyria Chronicles.

First of all, I'm really enjoying Tales of Vesperia. It's early days in the grand scheme of things and the story's not really kicked off hugely but I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. The combat system is very Eternal Sonata-esque and makes a pleasant change from the turn based combat method. The graphics are extremely charming and the voice acting isn't bad either (which makes a rare change for a JRPG with English dubs!). At times I have found the speech bubbles a little irritating, mostly because I find at times they can detract from the action but it's only minimal so far.

Valkyria Chronicles was driving me insane earlier! I like a challenge but it was bugging me. I spent the first hour trying to get past one battle, attempting different strategies etc. Kept dying so I gave in and looked up some strategies online. Tried it out right: died. Adapted it a little: died.....you get the idea.
I'm enjoying the game but the difficulty spikes seem to be really harsh at times and I do wonder if my patience will withstand it! Pity as I would still say it's a good game, just very unforgiving at times and the battles are time consuming.

Streeteh · 08-08-2009, 23:54

I'm a little surprised tbh as i found the game largely unchallenging, there's only one battle i really struggled with and, avoiding spoilers, it involved one rather large opponent, is that the same one?
