[QUOTE="MickeyTheNinja"][QUOTE="ct1257860"] I dont even like him....i like old school rap which he is not part of...ct1257860
Okay then stop caring what people think about him.

Well that wasn't really the point, my point was people hear 50 cent in a video game, then all the gamer nerds are going to bash the game because it stars 50 cent. Plus i dont really even care what you guys think, also dont tell me what to do ;).

Its just annoying to see good publishers (like THQ) giving the green light to a game this incredibly cheesy and blatantly ripped. 50 cent and the middle east... come on, even if this was Snoop Dogg or Ludacris, we would still make fun of this game because there is no correlation between a "tough guy" rapper and the middle east. It just annoying to see games like this make it past the first stage of the drawing board, I guess we'll see what happens though.

I think what makes it so interesting is the fact that it is a combination of Gears,The Club and Army of two.I don't want to spend 60 bucks on it either.But if I ever saw the game for 25 I think I would.And no I do not like 50 cent.K1LLR3175
Thats the best way to describe the game. Even for 25$ though there's still no way i'd pick it up, too many good games that have released or will be releasing, I couldn't imagine devoting much time to this.

[QUOTE="Danold"][QUOTE="Koady_Rocks"]

I was reading about how you can install games on your Xbox 360 today. And that the 360 will run the game off the system and not off the disk, but still needs the disk in the tray to verify you own the game.

So when I was installing one of my games(GTA4) and I noticed it kept pausing at 39% and then would say the disk was scratched and to take it out and try again, etc. I tryed it a few times and the same thing happened. When I tryed just playing the game off the disk, it loads up but as soon as I walk out of "Niko's apartment/hangout/loading point", it then pops up and says that the disc is scratched, etc etc. I checked my GTA4 disk and it has a big ring-like scratch around it, clearly caused by the 360. This is the first time my 360 has scratched one of my games. I bought this game in June and its worked fine until now. I never move my system with discs in it or play games with the 360 vertically. I'm puzzled by why the disc got struggled but thats not my question.

My question is, could I rent/borrow a working copy of GTA4, then install it on my 360 and then still use my scratched disk to run it? In theory, this should work. Because a working copy of the game is installed on my 360 and runs off the system instead of the game being run off the disk. So after I return the working copy back to wherever/whoever I got it from, the 360 will still want a GTA4 disc to verify I own the game, so my scratched disk should still work because its not running the game off the disc, but off the system. And only needs the disc for verification, right?

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

If you rent a copy of the game and install it on your harddrive then you can just place the scratched disk in the tray and play off the installed copy. All it needs if a legit copy of the disk, doesn't matter if its ruined, alot of people have chosen this instead of buying a new game.

Do you realize you suggested the idea he proposed??

Ha, my bad. I didn't read the whole thing, I was in a hurry to tell him.

Psh that was an easy achievement, I had it the second day I bought the game, before I even gave veteran difficulty a try.

I stopped playing gears because I was sick of the lobby wait and the angry/overly agressive community. CoD is pretty much the only mulitplayer game that stays true to everything I look for in an online experience...

Blood Money was such an awesome game, too bad it does not recieve enough credit and is so overlooked. Hopefully we'll see another Hitman game, but I played BM to death, and beating the game on proffesional is still one of my all time favorite achievements, you know you are an assassin when you can beat a game like that without any saves and inhuman AI...

Awesome, so hopefully I don't need to ship my 360 in, that would suck with the great lineup of games coming out. When I called support they didnt have any words of advice other than to ship it in.

When I turn on my xbox all I see are a bunch of dots moving and shifting in different directions, could this mean that my cables are messed up because I dont have the rrod.
