I found the Wolvie game to be an amped up version of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, except you can only play with one character. In terms of playstyle anyway. The camera and action is definitely a lot more dynamic. Some really great cinematic looking stuff.

Definitely looking forward to giving it a run through.

The Wolverine demo was better than I expected. But I'm not sure how it will hold up over 10 hours. Seemed like a lot of button mashing. And even though the setting was interesting, it was very linear with invisible walls.

I might pick it up once the price drops in a few weeks.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I wouldn't dare buy it at full price, but once it gets down to $30 or less I'll buy it for sure.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

It was far more intense and violently graphic than I expected and that's a good thing. The kills were very satisfying.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

That might be the most fun I have had playing a demo.

Someone please convince me that it's NOT worth buying a Japanese Xbox 360 for one game.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

It's not worth buying a Japanese Xbox 360 for one game.

Convinced?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

It's worth it only if you're picking up this game:

I was tempted to buy a Japanese PS2 for this Japenese curry-making simulation:

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I guess if the game is worth 400 bucks to you, it's worth it?

and since you always like to be cryptic, I'll go ahead and ask... which game is it?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I got lost sometimes in Wolverine, couldn't really see what was going on, but when I did see, it was pretty cool. Very cinematic, and much bloodier than I had thought it would be.

Arrived from Amazon today. Just in time for Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC. :)

It's a Falcon, by the way. I had assumed it would be from what I had been reading about MS trying to clear out old stock of the Elite version, so oh well. I'm actually a little relieved, as someone else had reported (truthfully or not) getting a pre-Falcon version in this new bundle (Zephyr, I think).

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

And in case anyone was wondering, they package the 2 games together in one case in these bundles, which might make reselling more difficult. You'd have to buy a new case and new cover art in order to sell just one of them. It was the same with the holiday bundle of Kung Fu Panda/Lego Indiana Jones.

I know people in Japan, I could probably get an Arcade at cost plus shipping ($200 plus shipping).

Death Smiles is the game I want. I've actually drove to Austin just to play it at the arcade there. More than once.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I say go for it. For no other reason than you buying the import will guarantee a domestic release for the rest of us.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Heh. On the bright side, I could also pick up DoDonPachi Daioujou, Ketsui and Mushihime-sama Futari at some point and there's even rumors of Espgaluda II being released too. Espgaluda II would actually make me buy the system without thinking about it actually, so maybe I'll wait for that announcement.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I thought the asian games would work on a US console? Don't people buy games from play-asia all the time?

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

If they are not region coded, yes, they will work on a US 360. Unfortunately, there's a fairly consistent trend of Xbox 360 games that weren't actually released in the US first being region coded. The developer of DDPDOJ and Ketsui was actually asked about making the games region free since there are a good number of international Cave fans and they said the decision was up to the publisher.

How long does it take new game demos to go from Xbox Live Gold to Silver download status?
Bummed I can''t out the Wolverine demo yet?
When did MS start this crap, BTW?
Thanks for the info!

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

:lol: About 18 months ago.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

Gamestop employee told me it was a Jasper... Guess we'll see... Just ordered one and it will be in by this time next week.

I didn't know the Wolverine demo was gay.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

^^^ Thanks for making me spit my coke on my monitor, Decker.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

I had so much glee after playing it, it might be a little gay.

Re: The Official Xbox 360 thread - thread hardest
 

If you enjoyed the Wolverine demo, you should check out the full game. It's 8 hours of that. :lol:
