The Gears of War ticker avatar prop :

The original animation was it scurrying around like it does in the game, jumps at the avatar, then it started to shake like it was about to detonate and the avatar recoiled and did scared face and then vanishes it away.
The new animation is it just swiping at the avatar and moving like.. 2 times.
Quite a few people were angry that MS changed the animation after they bought it.
Here's the original animation:

I haven't been on in a week, and probably won't be until the beta hopper hits. I'm going to take a break from Deus Ex this weekend to romp the weekly Challenge, but I've decided to do it solo. I want to see how much of the Campaign I can Flawless Cowboy on Heroic. Probably 5/9 missions.Gui_PT said:

Has anyone ever had the following networking issue:
Tuesday Night - Played Halo Reach online with 5 other friends no issues.
Wednesday Night - Tired to play Halo Reach online with 4 (of the 5) friend online. Whenever I was in their party, matchmaking was not able to search. After 30 - 60 seconds, an error box popped up saying: "Matchmaking has encountered a networking issue." kicking us to the lobby screen.
I was able to join games solo. Absolutely nothing changed from Tuesday night to Wednesday night.
Anybody have any guesses what is going on? I tried re-setting my Fios router with no luck. I'm not sure what else could have happened.

You deleted me from your friendlist...Gui_PT said:

Somebody in that party had a incompatible NAT. Wasn't your issue. Especially if it worked fine when you searched solo.
I remember in Halo 2 and sometimes in Halo 3, there were certain people that couldn't play with each other (it would never find games) but if they joined the lobby of a person that acted as a known 'bridge' between them, it'd get games.
So whoever the missing 5th person was may have been acting as the cross-compatible host for your seeking party, and with that person gone, whoever the seeking party host was, had NAT issues with all possible candidate games.
Next time this happens, try making a new party (with a different leader) and it usually fixes it.

You just described my love/hate relationship with Reach. It's a great game but there are lots of things wrong with it, some of them are easy fixes and others are being addressed with the TU.Gui_PT said:
I'm looking fordward to see what 343 manages to do with the playlists, right now I'm really concerned about:
-Ginormous amounts of playlists after the TU drops. We already have like four 4-5 players slayer only playlists without counting Team Objective.
-DLC, Reach's DLC policy is a joke, I have to be locked into two playlist (which I might not like) to play the maps I spent my money on? What will happen when Anniversary is released. Another example:
BTB with all DLC requirements offers well suited BTB maps like Highlands, Breakpoint, Headlong, Timberland and even Tempest with some forge tweaks.
Current BTB is an all grey land with the ocassional One Bomb on Spire... eww
Best FPS ever... sure :/

WHY YOU DO IT GUI!?!? I loved you!Gui_PT said:
Edit: Doppel-hirsch is quite a nice beer.
Yes. The game world is very well designed and lets me do a lot of interesting things, for the most part the way I want to do them. The mechanics through which I have to work the game are the problem. I have a longer post brewing for the official thread about that schism.Gui_PT said:
Shorter Ghaleon: letting me stuff a ventilation duct with a half dozen bodies I've stalked and taken down one at a time is awesome. Having to buy upgrades so my weapon reticule won't bob around when I aim? Not a good design decision.

Blerg. I completely gave up on Deus Ex. Great idea, but poor execution. I don't play games for 'boss fights' scattered throughout because I don't play SNES anymore. A final boss? Touchdown, call it a day, oops pow surprise.
The game wore me down WAY too quick and my patience after working in a pharmacy all day is worn incredibly thin for shit mechanics. That's why I play reach?
damnit.

These kind of rage videos always crack me up, but this one is pretty special. Toward the end he walks away but you can still hear him raging in the background.

I'm quite forgiving of clunky game mechanics so long as I'm still able to do things I like doing. Oblivion and especially Fallout 3 were quite inelegant at the detailed, moment to moment level (combat, aiming, animation), but the macro level tasks were amazing (exploration, looting, etc.). It's basically that same thing in Deus Ex, but they deliberately cripple player capabilities and they dangle out paths to remove some of it down the road.Letters said:
I'm enjoying Deus Ex a great deal, and would recommend it strongly. Just with the caveat that it's an amazingly designed game world, which we access through some often hilariously inept game mechanics.
(That's a yes, BTW.)
Heckfu: The boss fight was like getting kicked in the balls, repeatedly. Just such an archaic concept and execution.

You don't play the game for boss fights. The boss fights are part of the game nothing more. But they aren't great designed.heckfu said:
One boss stucked in the wall and I could kill him easily. And I was luckily for this bug/glitch.
But the story is awesome. Interesting. I love it. It's like I'm playing Blade Runner. And the
special conversations are much better than Mass Effect
I didn't remove no one. The only bad thing I do sometimes is to mute someone. Maybe it was drunk hyper but I don't remember to remove you.Gui_PT said:

The big problem with the boss fights I found were that the characters you were fighting might as well have been faceless generic characters. They had no development at all and are forced on you. At least within the original, there is only ONE mandatory fight with a character you've come to know, and even that has a non-combat workaround.
Anyways I don't think they tarnish the overall package, especially since you can just drop frag mines on their feet over and over and they're helpless to it. I think calling the mechanics shit is a bit extreme given how few games out there actually try to take this sort of design approach instead of giving you a shooting gallery down a hallway.

Hahaha! It was funny, but it seems he was mad for no reason. He was mad at himself but not taking credit. Unless I missed something the only problem I saw was no teamwork, but that was his fault for playing alone and for running off by himself continually. The end was awesome he flat out missed!
Edit: Had to watch the end a few times. Special indeed. LOL

In all seriousness, I'm pretty disappointed that Uncaged is in the Beta Hoppers at all. Just let that map die, it deserves to be forgotten.lybertyboy said:
