Miss the blade system to be honest.

BigDaddyCool

11-02-2010, 11:09 AM

Yeah, that wasn't bad. It was easier to find what you wanted. It is annoying not starting on the game channel. I just want to click one button to start the game in the disc drive.

Not liking the update at all, so much more harder to find stuff now.

I basically press the Live button to bring up the 'mini blade' menu and do stuff from there, even on the dashboard. Don't think I ever liked the ad filled floating TVs and shit. Literally looks like surfing a game site. I remember when it was one or two ads in the marketplace blade. Now Sasquatch is telling me about something involving jerky and game prizes.

And the coolest shit that came with last year's update, 1v100, was canceled.

On the flip side my brother loves ESPN's channel. And I will like searching on Netflix. Both things that didn't need this blandly designed update but whatever.

During the Beta they had changed the layout of the marketplace to be as great as possible. What they settled with is less great, but better still. Hope they fixed that thing with the RBN songs appearing in the market.

Also the my Xbox section next to whatever game you have in your console is greatly improved. Tells you off the bat what your settings look like and how many MSP you have.

Me too. I was fairly good at it too.

Also, I hate the sounds the goddamn thing makes. I already have a goddamn headache.

It took me forever to get the stupid thing last night for whatever reason and then it finally starts up and took 2 steps back in design. Like Funky said I like the section that tells you about your points and such, and a few of the new apps, but the design is very lacking.

Good call Xero. Let's all play Yars Revenge. Yes, those squiggly lines are a shield and don't punch your TV, those sounds are meant to come out.

The Atari, for the most part, sucked arse. My dad already had one when I was born and even a decent Ms. PAC-Man port couldn't save it.

Then I got a C64 and the enjoyment began.

It'd be different if big companies like Sony and Microsoft were force feeding us HD only shit if the tv's still cost thousands of dollars but you can get a top of the line LCD tv for a few hundred bucks..

Kris P, it isn't the point. I shouldn't have to get a new tv just to read the text on Risk Factions. I shouldn't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get full enjoyment out of a game I spent $5 on.

1) I had a coax tv, plus there are/were adapters at the time.

2) Right now is a really dumb time to get a new tv for me personally. And I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world that isn't in a position to get a new tv just for a couple of games.

3) I don't understand why microsoft of all companies is making a game console that is difficult to use with standard def tvs. I would understand Sony pulling that shit because they make tvs, but from what I understand playstations still work fine with standard tvs and can easily be read. Microsoft on the other hand does not sell tvs, nor any other hardware to speak of, so I don't quiet understand what advantage it is for them to make font hard to read.

I moved to an HDTV only a few months ago, been playing on an SDTV the whole time before that and I never had problems reading the text. Dead Rising was the only one and even that was only a few words. I haven't mpved my xbox to another tv since the dashboard update but I might now just to see how bad thex you and Haseny say it is. Also, I'm pretty sure it was never their intention to purposely make the text hard to read.

Also, when you do to the right time to buy one, Sears was offering a sick 32" 1080P LG for like $300. Dunno if they still have it up though.
