Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

I'm in the same boat, but I just hit 63%!!!!! I knew you could replay the same opponent, but I was hoping you get "Better" cards for playing different people, lol. Probably not, but I wasn't taking the chance, and I like facing different decks.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

So I have 2 360's, and I usually play in our 'game room', but I started playing Magic in the livingroom, figuring I could move it over whenever I wanted. Well, I've been playing Magic in the livingroom the entire time and last night I decided to switch to the other machine. Well, I only have a 64mb card and didn't realize how big the file was to move the entire game so I started looking for a 512mb card.

...super long story short, I can't believe that 512's are down to $29. The last time I checked on them they were $49.99, time to head to Sam's Club!!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

Is moving the hard drive feasible?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

It could be, but it would end up being alot of switching around, plus the LR 360 is in a 'rack' so I have to pull it forward to be able to access the HDD, and every time I move it the friggin HDMI pops out...total headache. Plus, our gameroom is where my son's play, so all of the downloads are in there, and all of their game saves.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

Both sets must have a network connection if you're going to be signed into XBL to have access to the game. So you should just be able to redownload it.

Unless you're saying the save file is > 64MB?!

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

Yeah, there's only one thing for Magic in the 'Games' tab, and it's 281MB. I think it's the same way with all arcade saves, it saves the game & saves together.

...and I could easily redownload it, but I'd have to start over.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

I won Magic the Gathering on Twitter, from someone with limited CCG experience (late-90s Pokemon FTW), how difficult is Magic on XBLA? Decent tutorials?

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

I actually switch between playing in the living room and my bedroom daily. Just have your gamer tag on the memory card. I downloaded the game on the other 360 and with my user name it showed all my cards unlocked, So I'm guessing it saved on the server, similar to games like COD4.

That is freakin' sweet!! I just did it & yep, still at 63% on the other 360. That saves me $30 for a memory card!! Do all arcade games work that way?

No, different games save in different locations. I prefer them not saving to the profile, but there's nothing we can do about it. It just sucks to have a profile near 20MB, not that I ever recover/download it from XBL, but there's no reason to not have separate save files you can manage.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

Speaking of Magic - lockups.

I cannot start Co-op match #7. It just locks up on the Loading screen. It's frustrating.

No more than 3 weeks since TMNT is supposed to be 7/22, right? Of course, that's per the devs...

Per the developers, Battlefield 1942 was supposed to come out last week, so take that FWIW.

Yeah, that's what you were meant to infer from my ellipsis

BF1943 will release next week the 8th for X360 & the 9th for PS3! Thank god I won't be asked this again. :-)
Does anyone know if this is for-sure part of the SoA? I guess it doesn't matter if 7/15 is the official start, you can always say this game was part of that. And Corvin can extrapolate that further and say 7/1 was with Worms 2.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

I wish all points centric XBLA games had replays you could watch of the top scorers ala Street Fighter 4's replay system. I'm still fooling around with Geometry Wars, and I think it would be nice to see how some folks achieved some of these ridiculous scores. Same with Pacman CE.

I know you can check youtube, but that's pretty unsatisfying.

No sir, watching someone get 500k is totally satisfying.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)

Man, I hate to keep bringing this game up, but Damn, Magic is a freaking awesome rush of a game!! I had about 5 games tonight that I won with some great finishes, from stealing an 11/11 Nightmare with a couple life left, to using this one card (I forget it's name, but it destroys all creatures that you don't own) when I was losing 15-5, to winning a game without ever getting a creature into play because of 3 Howling Mines and cards to damage when discarding & drawing. Man, what a fucking blast this game is!!!!! It's like playing back in 1995 again!!
