RGSPro Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Beat the first part. Played some CoD3. Going back and fourth between the two is a bit strange because they are so different. Both awesome awesome games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 My God, I went to: 3 Best Buys: SOLD OUT EB Games: SOLD OUT Circuit City: SOLD OUT KMART: SOLD OUT Wal-mart: SOLD OUT The guy at EB Games was extremelly irritated by having to explain OVER and OVER and OVER the same thing to customers. I went to the Customer Service section at Circuit City and started to ask the woman if they had the game, she interrupted me and said: "Oh, you're another one looking for that 'GAME GEAR'? SOLD OUT sorry" ROFL! Remember the "Halo effect"? I guess we can say there's a GOW effect going on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hupp Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 hey dont worry, here in omaha there was a shipping problem. These stores didn't get the game: Walmart Target Compusa EB Games/ Gamestop K-Mart NFM The only stores to get it were the 2 Best Buy locations and a Local small gamestore (gamers) and theirs were all reserved for preorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmacK Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Went to the Circuit City that I work at and we're not getting it until tomorrow morning which ****ed me off, I took off 2 days just to play the damn game! Can't wait for tomorrow morning though, seems like it's living up to the hype from what everyone is telling me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) I just got it today. Played a little of single player and then hopped right into multi. So far I LOVE IT. I love running around hitting people with the butt of my gun I love the shotgun. So far it has been a very very enjoyable experience. The only downside is the damn mic problem. Where I can hear everyone else but no one can hear me. Forgot to add one thing. The only other problem I have is that the CD-Rom drive is the loudest thing second only to a rocket going off beside my head.

My Oblivion disc is fine, but it still does it every now and again... it definately happens alot when there is a ton going on in the game, and the rom drive is running very loudly...maybe i'll cash in my replacement plan and see if i can get a current gen box to see if it does the same thing...

shadowmatt Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 My 360 is in for repairs with the unreadable disk error. I think the drives are bad. Just my opinion but I searched a few forums and a lot of people are having the problem. I returned Dead Rising as it was happening a lot but the new disk would do it too. From what I could gather it was while loading a big amount of data, such as a cut scene, but it randomly happened while running round as well. This is not like a normal crash from bad programming, the console still functions and I can get back to the dashboard. Still happened with the HD removed. It wasnt a heat problem as it happened any where from 5 mins into the game to 5 hours of play. The section that craused the error would load normally the next time. Whats really bad is that things like this should not happen. DVD drives are old technology now, but I assume the drive is as cheap as possible to save on money. So ring up, complain and get your drive fixed as chances are if its happening to you now it will always happen and thats going to ruin some games for you, having to do the same sections again and again. Plus happening in online play is going to really f**k everyone off. Anyway is being repaired at the moment, should be back for the GOW UK release.

There is nothing better than having a convo about strategy/how you just got chainsawed/save me, im hurt. If you don't have any friends, msg me on XBL, and I'll join wherever you are at :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just blown away by how well it ran, literally super impressed. Especially when considering we are pretty much located on opposite sides of a continent from each other. Literally we hit lag once and only once, and it was during a cutscene and lasted all of 2 seconds. That was it over almost a two hour span. Just very impressed with the netcode. Since you are finished, and I am still early on, maybe you can help me progess one of these nights. ;) I was also thinking about it, what about trying to organize and all Neowin Multiplayer match (or two if we have enough people down) this weekend?

TREOS Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 just experienced my first "disc is unreadable" error with GoW....god i hope this isn't another ncaa-like problem :-( The game still pwns tho so hopefully it was an isolated incident. i used to have the same problem, but mine was with fifas world cup soccer, sometimes the game would work fine then all of a sudden disc is unreadable... then sometimes the drive wouldn't even read the disc when i put it in... would go to a screen that said something along the line of... "if you want to run this disc, please put into a xbox360 console" ...and it was in one already... ends up the drive was going bad, called microsoft 5 times about it and they finally had me send it in.. they where trying to tell me it was a problem with the disc...and once it started with every 360 game i had they gave in and got me a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I can hear everyone else but no one can hear me.That mic problem is on your end. You need to configure your router and/or firewall. Run the Xbox Live connection tests in the dashboard and the NAT test should be OPEN. If it's not, you need to play around with some of your network settings to get it open and make sure you're able to reliably connect to people (and thus have your mic work consistantly).

I'm still really early on too, but I want to finish it all the way through before I start playing multiplayer so I don't get some maggots spoiling the storyline ;) I'm definitely down for a Neowin Multiplayer Match, we should hook that up on Emergence Day (this Sunday) sometime in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I won't be able to play after 8:30pm because of the Giants game in HD :( Oh you know I'm down :devil: Just hit me up, I don't have class today...and a very easy exam that I don't have to study for tomorrow, so I'm ready to play some more GoW.

Done that and it doesn't help at all. A lot of other people are experiencing the same thing and a moderator on the Epic boards says that Microsoft knows about the problems and they are going to release an update at some point to fix them.

Have everybody mute ther mic befor the match starts , or mute yours befor the match starts and that should fix it. Its a bug that people start talkin or whatever befor the game starts and then cant talk during the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
