[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Ace Combat really holds true to the previous games.

Another game added to my "To Buy ... " List.

Yes, I have been watching this game ever since it was announced for the Xbox 360! I loved the series on the PS2 and I can't believe it's exclusive to the 360 this time around. :D

Blue Dragon was cool, not sure if I will buy it though as the voice acting is really bad imo. Played it for as long as I could this morning, but I was pretty tired. Will give it another go later :p

I got so confused by it and it wasnt smooth, needs to keep going , someone talks "pauses" someone talks "another long pause" and this is in a heated boss battle!!!

Well the retail version will come with japanese audio too with subs :)

I played the demo for a bit but i was on my lunch hour so i couldn't really play for long, while the game is good, one thing that'll make me go insane is the stupid woman who says "treasure" when an enemy drops an item :p

Wow to Blue Dragon! I played about 30 minutes of it and it was fun. The voice acting seemed a bit off but other than that I kind of liked it. The only other similar turn based games I have ever played was the Legend of Heroes series of the PSP which is crap compared to this.

I guess all the menus and everything seemed a bit overwhelming to me, so I can't comment for others. Why did it seem like the in harder battles on floor 1 that the only real thing that did any damage was Corporeal or whatever for each character? Also, those other attacks that use less magic barely do any damage, but there are tons to choose from. Whew, I am tired. :(

Blue Dragon was terrible. Looks like I'll be skipping that one. It was nothing compared to the Eternal Sonata demo. Ace Combat seemed cool, but I don't know if I would be willing to fork out $150 for the flight stick bundle. I know you can get just the game by itself for regular price, but if I were to get it I'd go all out and get the bundle.

Agreed. Blue Dragon did suck. It's like Final Fantasy, but with cartoon graphics. We've already got 12 FF games. We don't need a copycat now.

BTW, anyone here having trouble getting the Stuntman Ignition demo? I keep trying to download it, but it keeps saying it can't download it. It's definately not a space issue on my HDD. It need about 650MB, and I've got over 900MB free.

I did not like the battle system in Blue Dragon, i was against one boss in the 2nd floor in the fortress and he had about 6 goes and virtually wiped out my party and then when i finally got a go, he had another 3 goes and killed my party!

@MightyJordan, i just checked my 360 and i have no Stuntman demo available to download, so maybe it is a mistake. Probably expect it later today

Eternal Sonata demo?! Where is this? Is this only for certain regions?

Blue Dragon was definitely disappointing overall, but honestly I did like the battle system. I seemed to work very well with it, and had no problem beating anything that came in my way, including that boss on the second floor. The jury's still out on whether I'll get it or not...

It's giving me issues... I've had my gamertag since before I got my Elite, but now I have a free month available for me... Well, since I'm trying to create a new account, it wants to give me that free month, and won't let me decline it, and because of that it wants more information than I can put. I'm screwed :/

You have to make a new hotmail account with a Japanese address and everything. Use that hotmail account to make the new live account. It will ask you for your address and everything. Just google for Nintendo's headquarters in Japan. That's what I used. Any Japanese address should work. It's not hard to find using google.

Finally got AC6 downloaded and wow! I have never really played a flight sim/action game before, but I had so much fun! Seriously, I couldn't really deicde which control scheme I liked though.

Who else stayed and tried to fight those guys in the end?

Haha, yea I did. But they just keep coming and they're REALLY hard to take down. Eventually the demo times out, though, so you can't ever really get them all.

I think I need to give AC6 another try, I couldn't figure it out.. :(

Blue Dragon sucked.

AC6 is a great game, definitely give it another go. Be sure you understand the controls and give it more of a chance.

I thought Microsoft was keen on this by now?

I like Blue Dragon, but there is some parts that put me off. I was really looking forward to it but it's not the game I was hoping for.

I think I'm going to wait for reviews and see how Eternal Sonata/Lost Odyssey turns out.

AC6 was cool, but not really into flight games. Was fun to play around with though :)

Edit: Stuntman demo is out, 641.90 MB

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.
