Yup. As much as I miss them, there's no way in hell I'm going to pay more for them later.

Michael Corvin 03-08-07 09:24 AM

I can't say I won't, but if we are talking 10-20 points each, :shrug: $1 a weapon wouldn't fly.

KurrptSenate 03-08-07 09:27 AM

yea, but what would happen if you were to buy a few weapons, and the person you are playing with online didn't...

seems kinda dumb

Didn't think of that. But, the game is still a fully functional offline four player game. So you could enable new weapons offline, just not online. Limited but could still work if anyone has aspirations of playing local co-op.

I also miss the ability to toggle on/off worm changing prior to a turn. that really increased the fun-factor in older versions.

Overall, this is a stripped down, bare bones version of a 10 year old game.

From what I understand, Team 17 wanted to take out some of the overpowered and "cheap" weapons to make for a more balanced and strategic game. They have stated that the DLC will not be more weapons, but gamerpics, themes, custom tombstones, and other things like that.

That would be an awesome game to bring to Live arcade. I loved playing that on the dreamcast.

Chu-Chu Rocket online was a blast.

Although more than that i want Super Puzzle Fighter II.

A-aron 03-08-07 01:07 PM

I'd still like to see Ghosts and Goblins brought to the XLBA.

if you have a PSP, you CAN play that online :D

Puzzle fighter or chu chu rocket?

If chu chu, you have to spill the details. I have a psp.

That used to be one of my favourite SNES games. I actually recently purchased an old Sega collection for the PS2, just so that I could play that and Ghouls and Ghosts again.

KurrptSenate 03-08-07 01:30 PM

i was referring to puzzle fighter, actually


but, its using a program called Xlink, which fools your PSP (in ad-hoc) mode into thinking theres another psp in close proximity, but in actuality, allows you to connect to others over the internets.

I know chu was for GBA, but that wasn't online :/

unfortunatley worms fans don't give a shit what Team 17 wants. We play worms for the fun weapons. I play for the baseball bat. It's stupid to release a 2006 version of a game and make it have half the features of the last release. Shit the dreamcast version had far more features and online play.

Noonan 03-08-07 01:40 PM

Worms Armageddon for Dreamcast was easily the best version of the game to come out.

KurrptSenate 03-08-07 01:43 PM

well, for people like me, all those extra weapons really turned me off of the game. when you have players doing impossible sh!t with ninja ropes, killing off a worm, and bailing before you can even hit them on your turn, it really makes ya hate the game.

so, maybe it was for people who are new to the series as well :/

Exactly. They were fun, but no one can argue that they weren't cheap.

Noonan 03-08-07 03:14 PM

I wouldn't really call it cheap since all teams had the weapons available. Plus, it would usually take many rounds to unlock them. If there are worms still alive after 20 rounds I think a nuclear test is very fitting.

Deftones 03-08-07 05:49 PM

Ok, this is bizarre.

My friend can see me online, but I can't see him. We can't play a game right now b/c of this issue. We've played several games in the last week. Any ideas why this would happen?

amped 03-08-07 06:02 PM

Any chance he changed his personal settings as to who can see him online? Can he send you a game invite?

Deftones 03-08-07 09:50 PM

We figured it out. Well, I should say, the problem corrected itself. I reset my modem, router and system. He did the same. It may have been a network issue as I was getting some lag.

I was sent a similar email, but without the codes. No fair. :)

argh923 03-08-07 10:52 PM

I saw that some people were able to get free XBLA games by registering their console online. Is that still going on?

RichC2 03-08-07 11:35 PM

That was a special period thing....


....they did send me Joust and Robotron for the oldspice thing today too tho.

Gromit 03-09-07 06:25 AM

I don't want Joust or Robotron, but I didn't even get the email.

KurrptSenate 03-09-07 10:10 AM

Edstein : sorry I missed your invite last night. When I got the message I had a full room (i was hosting and just can't leave, ya know) I tried inviting you later, but assumed you had a similar situation

Really? I wasn't aware they were giving those two games out in the contest.

Has anyone else gotten any of their prizes?

you can still be cheap.. They left in the Air Strike weapon.

The crate issue is still there. They allwas drop on impossible to reach locations and never conatin any useful weapons.

On a positive note. I got all the aceivements and beat the challenges in one night, about 3 hours - pretty easy.

KurrptSenate 03-09-07 10:33 AM

eh, that stuff doesn't piss me off nearly as much. I mean, its pretty easy to call in an air strike, so I don't feel "left in the dark" as far as that goes

Michael Corvin 03-09-07 11:02 AM

^ The airstrike doesn't seem that powerful. Played for a couple hours last night with some friends. Good times. My first achievement was the "three bagger" I thought that would have been one of the tougher ones. :lol:

You can still do all sorts of crazy shit with the ninja rope.

PixyJunket 03-09-07 11:06 AM

KurrptSenate 03-09-07 12:06 PM

well, im sure Ill be on again tonight for way too many hours, if you wanna try again

BBEANLPHIE 03-12-07 07:00 AM

Looks like this weeks release is TMNT with 4 player coop via Xbox live for 400 MS points

http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/default.aspx

killershark 03-12-07 07:39 AM

Are there any current deals on MS points? I'm looking to pick up worms later.

The best running deal is picking them up at Best Buy with the "Gamer Gift Card." It's a standard gift card, but it contains a $5 off coupon for any game of accessory $19.99 and up, so that knocks the card down to $14.99 (no tax on MS Points). These are somewhat hard to come buy at some BB's, but there is also a coupon running in GamePro for the same thing ($5 off an accessory), and if you look hard enough, you can find scans of these coupons online.

Thanks, I searched for a gampro coupon but only found one that expired on 2/27. If anyone has a link to a more recent five dollars off coupon, it would be very appreciated.
