The 360 thread!

[Jimaroid]

I can't play Bionic Commando due to there being almost zero diagonal control on the 360's pad, both the dpad and thumb stick are unreliable at registering diagonal arm grabs.

You don't need to move the stick for a diagonal arm throw, just let the stick center and hit B.

Not wanting to believe this I just gave it another go. I've changed my opinion from dodgy gamepad to terrible controls now. I can't play it like that.

I really wanted to like BC:R, but..

I'm a hardcore soldier with a really cool robot arm.. but I can't even jump over a barrell? Correction.. I'm a cripple with a fancy mechanical crutch.

I bought it as i liked the demo, but the demo didn't let you play the first boss.
Ahh the second set of barrels I stand near them and the bugger does a diagonal grab instead of a straight grab , bah! , tried for half hour and gave up for now. Back to GRID and its annoying 'drift'ing races. At least F1 license wont have drifting!

If you buy the pub games you need a slap in the cock. 800 points? Fuck right off. I got it for free and wish I could give the code back.

Presentation is nice, but they are really poor games. Tower might be passable in multiplayer, however that roulette like game and the fruit machine/one armed bandit variant are truly awful.

Played in tournament mode the fruit machine game requires you to have 100 goes to complete the competition, where your input is limited to pressing A to spin the dials and the whole result is down to pure luck. Tedious doesn't even begin to cover it.

I know they are meant to be companions to Fable and some people might argue they need to be judged differently because of that, but a bad game is a bad game whichever way you dress it up.

I'm just glad Flabio said he wasn't involved earlier.

[HGFB]

When you sell it separately for 800 points you stop judging it as an addition to Fable. It's shite. Plain and simple. Nicely presented as you say but still shit.

I'm mainly playing the pub games for the items.

With that I do have 4 more codes if anyone still wants one.

Whilst not terribly good, I'm finding the Pub Games very, very addictive. I guess that's a sign that I should stay away from real gambling.

I think I'd be a bit miffed if I'd paid 800 points for it though, so thanks once again to Phineasfool for the code.

I'll take one if it's going spare, thanks. I'm a sucker for a gambling game, but with all the cracking games coming out on XBLA recently I've been going through MS points at a rate of knots, and can't really justify throwing more at this.

Oooh, I'd like one please if there's any left.

[Anders]

If there are any leftover codes, I'd like one.

[Phineasfool]

Ok, I now have only 1 code left for the Pub Games.

[Phineasfool]

I am all out of extra Pub Games codes. If we get any more extra ones at work I'll try to snag a couple if any one else wants one.

If you do get any more codes, please throw my name in the cap for consideration, although it might be a wee while before I get back on the 360 - bloody work.
