It's a me! Mario!!!!!

epic...

game is pretty cool so far, and for those of you who are confused, you'll get it eventually...

Only beef with the game so far are the graphics, definitely could be A LOT better.

I think they are excellent, they are sub-par for you compared to?

The character models in the cut scenes are a bit iffy but the environments are ace.

Saying that the 360 is now 5 years old and beginning to show it's age. Compare MW2 with the PC for example. The difference even on a 720p resolution is astounding.

MW2 isn't a great example, it's an engine focussed on multiplatform scalability and due to it trying it's best to run at 60FPS across both platforms it's not the greatest looker.

The PC will always be better looking than consoles if you have the hardware, but on consoles exclusive games will always show off real hardware scalability.

In saying that though I definitely think the Sony 1st party devs are doing a better job at showing off the PS3 than MS' devs. On that note though MS don't have the depth of 1st party Sony do and often rely on 3rd party devs to create exclusive 360 software.

My copy shipped today from Gamefly so hopefully I have it in a day or two.

Anyone have any number for how long the SP Campaign is in hours? I am obviously renting it since it is GameFly and just wondering if it is feasible or not for me to even beat it.

TIA, DL

Clocked 13,5 hours here before the credits and mainly only did the storyline and only 2 or 3 of the extra challenges. It's a pretty big singleplayer 'campaign', something you don't see too often these days. :)

Ubisoft are saying about 27 hours. That's not including the side quests and the secret Prince of Persia-esque aeras.

27 hours sounds a little high though. 15-20 hours first play-through and I'll be happy.

hmm yeah, some textures are low res too, but nothing near like DA, that game is hideous on consoles and not to good on PC.

whoaaaa another great moment!! boom headshot!!! :woot:

It lasted me way over 10 hours. 20 sounds about right.

that's what I like to see! 20 hours is quite awesome!

Rappeh your Avatar and Sig are soo distracting me from looking at what you wrote ;). but yeah 20hrs is a hell of a long time! But I can't wait to get it tommorow!

Here's some screenshot comparisons for those who are undecided which platform do get the game on, PS3 or 360 I know I'm torn. I'd say the differences aren't as noticeable as they were with Dragon Age Origins. Maybe it's just me but the 360 version looks a little bit better.

Oh and no, this is not a post to get the fanboys bitching.

After watching the GT review I'm still not sure, just seems like AC 1.5.

I hope I'm wrong.

yeah, you're wrong, just don't cancel the **** pre-order and play the damn game!! :rofl: :rofl:

Now seriously, you won't regret it ;)

You bought Assassins Creed but only rented Uncharted 2. :no:

I got AC2 for ?28.

Show me where UC2 is going for ?2:p:p

Plus I have some moniez now, I was more broke than a hooker on a bad night when UC2 hit.

This is sooo freaking fun.. I still haven't found the tailer yet.. anyone know what icon it is?

nvm I found it.. I also found something annoying.. what's the point of having checkpoints in the mini assasin tomb catacomes when you can't use the checkpoint?

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
