Re: You Can Play as Ellen Ripley in Alien: Isolation Preorder Content

ThreadShadow

They should revive the Alien series by having Ripley, Newt, and Hicks wake up inside their cryotubes aboard the Sulaco. They find the tubes kept them alive but didn't stop the aging process. It's been 28 years since Aliens, and they find that many of the cryotubes have been ejected, including Bishops. The ship is a mess with opened Alien eggs/remains, and remains of dead humans who were never on the ship when they left Earth or the Colony.

There, mystery and alien threat established, and original Ripley we all know and love returned to us! Yay!

Re: Gotham City Imposters Leads Xbox 360 Games With Gold for July

ThreadShadow

Wow that's disappointing. Battle Block Theater is fine, not my type, but Gotham is a game that can't be played offline/locally. I guess I'll just consider SSFIVAE and Battle Block Theater as July's GwG. There, that's better.

Why is MS punishing people with an online only game? I thought everyone gave MS second place this year? Ha! They could have at least given us Hybrid instead of Gotham.

Oh well, I do appreciate the early announcement.

Re: Games With Gold Gets Refreshed Today With Two Free Games

ThreadShadow

I think you get GwG on any paid subscription, be it 1-month etc.. I'm not sure about the complimentary 1 month with console purchase. It's my understanding that any Gold trials be they 1 day, 2 day etc. aren't eligible.

I wish 360 had received Spartan Assault too. As it is this is my first time playing any version of SFIV and I'm surprised and slightly underwhelmed and confused. Maybe it's just the poor Xbox 360 controller. Give me a good old SNES controller for SF games any day!

MGS V PP (so dark and grisly though, idk.)
Lovers in a Dangerous Space Time (awesome!), Cup Head, Bro Force (Idk, maybe.), Counter Spy (Idk, maybe.),Tengami, Cubemen 2, Nihilumbra (maybe.),Teslagrad, Two Brothers (maybe.), Wooden Sen Sey, A.N.N.E., Earthlock, Chariot, Affordable Space, Shovel Knight, Stealth inc. 2, Shantae games.

Re: E3 2014: What Team pX Wants To See At E3

ThreadShadow

What I want from MS is:
Halo 2 Anniversary for Xbox 360 (all co-op bells whistles)- including a playable version of the old Halo 2 demo/trailer. Just shoehorn it into the campaign or put it under an Extras tab on the menu.
Halo 4's Spartan Ops made available offline to everyone(system link co-op etc.)
And an announcement for July's Games with Gold.
I want 360 version of Spartan Assault free in the GwG program soon!

Re: Incoming! Halo 5: Guardians Confirmed for Xbox One in 2015

ThreadShadow

343i has already taken that first step. Anyone remember Spartan Ops? Multiplayer-mode completely locked away-online only-paywall/Gold etc.etc.. No offline/local/SystemLink whatsoever. I don't think they'll pull a TitanFall, but I wouldn't put it past Microsoft.

As for this picture for Halo 5. Maybe MC is in a completely new set of armour since she mentioned 343i was rethinking aesthetics.

Eventually they should release a 360 version of 5.
