Cool, but I already have it on the VC - the faked "HD" doesn't look too hot.

I'm holding my breath for the rumored Marvel vs. Capcom 2 coming to XBLA and PSN...

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Online co-op would be a decent reason for a rebuy. If it's just the VC version again or like the UGC games without online play, I see no point.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Does it ever? (Answer: No).

But MOST of the classics on XBLA thus far have had options to turn the filtering off.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Apparently somebody determined from the PS3 version's trophy list that the game can be beaten in 80 minutes. $20 is a lot for a beat-em-up that you can beat in 80 minutes. I'm curious to see how it reviews - I'm not expecting it to fare well. Still, their timing is perfect, and it will probably capitalize on the current fervor over the movie.

Awesome, pics without titles! I love it!

:blush: Oh noes, more money talk!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Effective immediately, participants in the thread must refrain from using the following words:

- money
- worth
- value
- dollars
- cheap
- expensive

The management thanks you for your cooperation in this matter.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

I am sorry but my money is worth a lot more to me then some others so a game needs to hold it's value a lot longer then some of these games that should be cheap but are not, and 20 dollars is really expensive for a game that is supposed to be a micro transaction.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Can we still say "muff rub?"

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

If you can't tell what games these are from the pics, you won't care.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

That's the way to sell em!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Man, I cannot believe that they are charging 1600 points for Watchmen! It's a game than can be beaten in two hours! It does not appear to be the rare sort of game that should warrent such an elevated price point. Perchance I may pick it up during a future limited-time sales event where it would be priced more in accordance with other comparable downloadble XBLA games.
;)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

The use of the term "muff rub" is not only permitted, but actively encouraged. Carry on!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Ended up with an extra free code for the King Pack for Castle Crashers. First person to PM me can have it.

edit: Given away now.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

This appears to be a full retail disc...

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/g.../achievements/

It has 1400 achievement points and 70 achievements. I'm guessing it's 7 games each with 200pts, and you can buy them individually via Arcade?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

I wouldn't want them on a disc over the convenience of "soft" hard drive copies.

What indication do you have that it's a full retail disc as opposed to an XBLA with 7 different 200 point DLC components or 7 XBLA titles that tie into the same achievement list?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

If there is a retail disc, I'd grab it. Otherwise I'll just get a couple of the games for the wife.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

HEY!

Who do you think you are? Shagrath? ;)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Watchmen is unavailable as of now. I wonder why.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

I'd like to know also, I am ready to D/L it ASAP.

EDIT: Its up now, 1.35GB.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Bought Watchmen - it's repetitive as hell and fairly short for $20 but there is something just cool as fuck about playing as Rorschach and beating the living hell out of people, so I'm not too upset that I spent the points on it...but really, it should have been half the price they're asking - $20 is way too high for what you get here... but I'm a Watchmen whore, so I forked it over.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Reviews of Watchmen : TEIN have been pretty brutal. Here's Metacritc, which screws up their aggregate score by calculating an 8.5 from IGN for the game even though it actually scored a 5.5. Joystiq hated it even more.
I love their closing line:

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

Based on all the reviews, I think I will probably just satiate my need for Watchmen gaming by playing the demo over and over until the urge to buy goes away. ;)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 

If these reviews are to be believed, there really shouldn't be much difference between playing the demo repeatedly and playing the full game. :)
