So.
The turd you just laid is a steaming pile of diarrhea.

Its nice to know that you're suffering.

Montrealien5636d ago

Just got it about an hour ago, tried it out early but man, one thing to say...

Quickest Update in History, not even 3 minutes and I was already making my avatar.

I am really enjoying this, GJ MS, now don't f*ck this up! ;D

topgeareasy5636d ago

No movies from sony pictures via Netflix streaming service

InMyOpinion5636d ago

Did you notice how smooth all the transitions between menus are? No load times to display pictures etc. Awesome!

Montrealien5636d ago

yeah, the main thing I wanted from this update was to not wait 1 minute for all my arcade games to load, so much faster now, love it!

jaysquared5636d ago (Edited 5636d ago )

I was skeptical about this whole NXE thing because I was pretty satisfied with the dashboard but after downloading it and playing with it a little bit its so much better than the dashboard! The avatars are pretty gay though but everything else is a big improvement from the dashboard. Its a lot better looking and more organized. Updates like this makes me feel better about paying $50 a year for XBL! Great job M$!

masterg5636d ago

Anybody know where to type in redeem codes in the new xbox?

Bnet3435636d ago

Very cool! Didn't take more then 5 minutes to install. Very fast I love it. Making my avatar now. :)

PS360PCROCKS5636d ago

master G press the big X on your controller and it should be in their

MiloGarret5636d ago (Edited 5636d ago )

It's ok... Nothing very interesting in it though. The most interesting aspect of it, Netflix, is nowhere to be found in Europe so this update basically boils down to a skin change for a user like me who doesn't care about the community part of Live. I really like the fact that its more responsive though.

PS: I hate my avatar, and all avatars.

Wizeguy215636d ago

Why does every guy avatar on NXE look like hes gay or has been nude on camera before! They all stand funny! :-( aside from that I guess its a good upgrade

elorm95635d ago

You guys are enjoying your avatars? Kinda surprised here...

Timesplitter145635d ago

look at all the people here enjoying this.

A year ago they were saying ''Home is for losers who have no life''

There goes their credibility.

Anyway, I've always thought that these things can never be bad so it's a great update

y0haN5635d ago

It's nice but it's quite meh, blatant Mii ripoffs with nicer graphics yet they aren't even as thorough as Miis. Faster blades is fine..

cherrypie5635d ago

"where to enter redeem codes"

Guide>Marketplace>Redee m Code.

@topgeareasy

"no sony films on netflix"

Who cares? Its sony's loss. Netflix isnt going to let Sony try and screw Netflix's customers for long. This is Sony shooting itself in the foot -- and, is probably going to attract the anti-competitive / monopoly regulators and DOJ. There are laws against this kind of anti-competitive behaviour.

@y0haN
What are you talking about? 3D avatars that look like PEOPLE arent new or unique to Nintendo. Secondly, Avatars are vastly more customizeable and varied than Miis. You clearly havent created an Avatar.

The bottom line: NXE is another EPIC victory for MS. I've already used PhotoParty with some of my family, they loved it.

AAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA

Morgan Douglas Jones5636d ago (Edited 5636d ago )

So basically it took Microsoft years to copy what Nintendo had at launch. Mii avatars.

@ the monkey below: Just kill yourself.

borgome5635d ago

I laughed at your comment morgan, but tell me man, which trailer park do you currently reside in?

Morgan Douglas Jones5636d ago

This update fails hard, not just in comparison to Sony's upcoming Home but it fails overall.

Montrealien5636d ago

how long till you are at 1 bubble and have to go create another account?

chop chop, jump through them hoops monkey and create more accounts to make your self hated to remind yourself that you are alive ! Smoke a cigar while you're at it, nothing cuter then a chimp with a cigar in his mouth, should be cute!

InMyOpinion5636d ago

Mentioning Home only makes you look even more stupid.

GiantEnemyCrab5635d ago

LOL@Montrealien classic stuff man!

Home?? LOL!

ThatCanadianGuy5636d ago

"Welcome to the New Xbox Experience. Jump in."

No thanks.In fact,i'll jump out.

Anyone want to buy an arcade 360 +2 games for 150$?
PM me

Eiffel5635d ago

Sure, you go ahead and blow off money on a system that apparently is better yet uses its "Large Memory" to create flop titles...really only thing you get worth the money is a Blu-Ray player..so much for the extra $200.

ThatCanadianGuy5635d ago

Nah man,i get a standard HDD,Blu-ray player,dualshock-sixaxis motion controller,Built in Wi-fi,Built in Bluetooth,Free online,A web browser
Life with playstation/Folding@Home,7.1 dolby surround sound.
HDMI 1.3. Etc etc.

You get what you pay for right? You want to spend 200$ on a cheap ass console? That's what you get..a cheap ass console.

Or you could buy a whole media centre for 400$ Tough choice.

" uses its "Large Memory" to create flop titles "

LBP-40GB says hello!
MGS4 -40 GB waves goodbye!

Later man.Im off.Stop posting dumbass comments and making yourself look like a fool.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing694h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker4h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing694h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos10h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto9h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger889h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
