Re: New NXE Dashboard update

Think I can cram Forza 2 and R6 onto my empty HDD....maybe LOL how dose that system work manse? do I still need to put my disc in to play? also what other features are in the update? I know about the character thingie? I take it thats yours in your sig? can you throw a list of stuff that comes in the new update matey?
Re: New NXE Dashboard update
dash takes a bit of getting used to as i had a message after i did the update and it took me about 20 mins to find it and read it lol , avatars a quite cool but you just know al the good clothes and things you really like for them are goin to cost you with microsoft points , friends list is now quite a pain in the arse , how it works is your online friends are at the start of the list with the game they are playing to the right hand side of them and then your offline friends are asleep further down the list , at the moment its a bit toss as only 3 people on my list have the new update so there are just loads of blank spaces and yes that is mine in my sig , gives you the option after creating to take a pic and use it as your gamer pic , saving a game to hard drive takes around 20 mins to half an hour depending on the size of the game , gears is around 6 gig so on a 20 gig with all your saved game data etc you might just get 2 games on the hard drive , one bonus for me was i had a copy of DIRT which my old 360 laser scraped a big circular line around and knackered the game and it wouldn't load , have now installed it to the hard drive and it plays fine and yes you do have to have the disc you are playing in the drive but its only to verify you have the game , bang went my trip to rent 10 games from blockbuster lol , to be honest i am not to sure what the other stuff is , i imagine it will be the same old behind the scene stuff you never really notice or care about ie video format etc , obviously if you are playing a game from the hard drive you now have no disc noise at all which is great ( did microsoft do this for the benefit of the gamer or to cut down the cost of laser and dvd drive replacement ) know what my money is on , when you are in game and press the Xbox button on your pad you get pretty much the same functions as you did before ie , messages , friends , invite etc but they have tarted it up a bit and just looks a bit nicer , is it worth getting excited about ? hell yeah , does it look good ? hell yeah , just for the saving to hard drive its worth it if nothing else , if and when i find anything new i will pop some posts up , to be honest i have been too busy on gears to have a proper look at the dash but i have now completed on insane so i might have a better look later

Re: New NXE Dashboard update
M4N5E this is going to make you cry
I carried on playing co-op tonight on insane; mid level some guy joined asking what the difficulty was
insane I say
so we play through for a bit and I'm thinking either this guy is shit hot or I am finding this easier
after ending act 2 I exit it out to watch spooks and see he is playing on normal but I am on insane but clearly the difficulty level was brought down by him playing at normal
yet i have the levels completed on insane
seems that if the host is playing on insane he/she will get the credit for that whatever level the player joining the game is playing on
should make knocking off my last few levels really easy if you still fancy helping me out

Re: New NXE Dashboard update
Got it, quite a tidy update, things are little less to hand and hidden away but familiarity will no doubt solve that, like the 8 player chat/game/lobby room thingy and I even managed to cram 2 games onto a standard HDD but sod all room left well I tell a lie, 180MB on the HDD and 198MB on my memory card........might have to dump one of the games of the HDD as I can see some issues in future with my 360 track record LOL
Re: New NXE Dashboard update
Well i dont know about everyone else, but i really really like the new update, for a number of reasons.
1, It has given a load of new resolution options. 1680 x 1050, which supports my monitor yay being one of them.
2, The Forza theme puts all my friends into a pit lane, next to a different car which is quite cool, even if it does take a minute to realise who is online.
3, The party system, we all wanted it, we all like it. no more fucking stupid yank kids calling us fags and other racist names...... especially funny when two of the party are trying to gang up on my poor VW corrado, (no names *Cough* hereward *cough* and fail badly
what i would have liked to have seen however is the chat to be a bit more next gen, like some of the pc chats like teamspeak etc. where you can HEAR everyone but only your party if you like hear you speak...
But hey, IMO very very good....

Re: New NXE Dashboard update
Have to admit, I'm liking the new update too. I'm especially looking forward to trying out the party system, when I eventually get a game that everyone is playing
Guess I'll have to start Gears on Insane if I'm gonna join you lot, my bro will love that
