Ji@nBing Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 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.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? The thing I didn't get about AC6 was the targetting. It just seemed to target random planes. I couldn't make sense of it. There were rumors that they were going to block it, but they haven't done anything about it still. I think they were more concerned about Live Marketplace than demos. Actually SpartanX said they don't care much about the demos a while back.

Lingwo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Stuntman is so fun, while it is bloody hard (especially the ice level) it has instant restarts which makes it alot better, and each level is only a couple of minutes long. It works so well though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432213-official-xbox-live-latest-demos/page/60/#findComment-588699051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah, I'm enjoying Eternal Sonata right now. I LOVE this game. It's one of my most anticipated games. Completely blows Blue Dragon out of the water IMO. Everything about it is beautiful. Love the combat system, which is supposed to evolve as the game progresses.

gigapixels Veteran Posted July 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2007 Same here. The combat was amazing, but still very easy to get used to. I played through the demo twice already, and I'll probably play it a few more times before the game comes out :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432213-official-xbox-live-latest-demos/page/60/#findComment-588700245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted July 13, 2007 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 13, 2007 Is eternal sonata only available to US/CA subscribers? Dont seem to see it here in the UK.

NoLiMiT06 Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah, I'm enjoying Eternal Sonata right now. I LOVE this game. I don't see it here on my 360 and I am in the US. Am I missing something?

gigapixels Veteran Posted July 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2007 You need a Japanese account for Eternal Sonata. The demo is fully English though.

LOC Veteran Posted July 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2007 Eternal Sonata is only available in Japan right now (Korea also maybe?) and the only way to get it in the US/UK etc is to make a new Live account with a Japanese address etc. It was explained a bit a page or two back if you want to look for it. I would assume a US/European demo will be released soon enough, since the game is coming out soon after all.

gigapixels Veteran Posted July 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2007 I'll have to try out The Bigs. I'm not much of a baseball fan, so I definitely need a demo to determine if I want it or not.

I'm not much of a baseball fan, so I definitely need a demo to determine if I want it or not.Thanks for the info! :) Oh, and go and congratulate me in my 8000 posts thread in Milestones :shifty: The Bigs is AWESOME. First Baseball game I've played on a console since like 1997 or so. I tried MLB 2K7 etc, but just didn't like them at all. The Bigs is arcadish and just plain fun. The home run pinball minigame is a BLAST (pun intended) and overall I think the game is terrific. It's also the first game where I've gotten the majority of the achievements :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/432213-official-xbox-live-latest-demos/page/60/#findComment-588702309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapixels Veteran Posted July 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2007 Sweet. Sounds good. From what I could tell, it's to baseball games what Blitz is to football games, correct? Or kind of along those lines at least? I'll be trying it out later today probably.

LOC Veteran Posted July 13, 2007 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2007 Well I never played any of the Blitz games, but yes its very much like them. Over the top action, overpowered hits/pitches etc, but it also offers some pretty deep gameplay like when to use your special power hits or pitches or throws or base running ability etc. Plus even though there isn't any season mode or franchise mode here, the Rookie mode is pretty robust and offers some nice touches.

DR3AMxCATCHER Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I love The Bigs. I can't seem to make any big time catches and I get a lot of homeruns robbed from me and end up losing. First game I played I lost 17-0 because I didn't know how to pitch haha.
