Xbox 360 Live demo availability thread

As it is all Silver/Gold members can try it out for free and see how shitty it is firsthand.

Unfortunately (fortunately if it sucks) for Silver members, this demo is available to gold members only.

Game is based on the worst book ever written (soon to be worst movie ever made?), so that's interesting at least.

While I agree with you that it's a pretty crappy book (couldn't get thru the first one) it was written by a sixteen year old. I have to give him props for doins as much, wish I could have a big budget Hollywood movie made of my work by the time I was 20.

But yeah, this game looks like it blows hard, and not in a good way.
 
It is a high-res port, but it runs very smooth. On my TV anyway.

And it sucks ass compared to LOTR Two Towers / Return of the King. You have to do a combo in order to grapple? The hell?

Blah. Do not buy this game.
 
Ok well I finished the demo, I guess. I was fighting an endless horde of goblins and trolls when a scene appeared of me collapsing, I thought I was dead but I knew I had health at least. Then the dragon swooped me up before the bridge collapsed and that was it.

To use your Bow you have to STAND STILL with the RT held, if you move while RT is held you roll around, so you are forced to take damage from other arrows and such flying your way. The same goes for Magic, which is LT. What a retarded lineup. I'm not even sure Magic worked, I think all I could do was Force Push them.

Tip: Just mash X (jump) + A for an attack that wipes out enemies around you, I have no idea why, it does more damage than regular attacks.

Game is stank ass. But feel free to waste your time with this FREE demo, lolz clever

lawl, I believe your game impressions. Won't bother downloading it, lolz!
 
These guys are right, that Eragorn demo was terrible. Right up there with the Tenchu and Sonic demos. I play every demo to the end to give it a fair chance and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Also, the voice actor who is supposed to be Jeremy Iron's character wasn't close to a laughable degree.

Does anyone know if there´s gonna be a Call of Duty 3-demo out in the next few days? I think the US-release was announced to be 7th of November, that´s why I´m asking.

OMG wtf! Eragon is one of the most literate, stylistically vital and beautifully constructed novels ever written. not only does it vault the conventions of the genre, it reinvents it and injects a wellspring of energetic originality. The fact that the book was written by a mere teenager instantly catapults it into the lofty realm hitherto only inhabited by C.S. Lewis and yes, Tolkien.

Eragon is perfect prose, writ large, vibrant and bold. It is one of the most important, satsifying, richly embroidered and subtly detailed novels ever written. How ****ing DARE you. How DARE you.



And the ending scene where....
I keed. It's a barrel of shite. Unreadable.

Dammit, you actually had me quite interested in reading it. Up to the spoiler.

I actually finishing the ****ing thing. It was painful. Anyway, to the guy who gave the author "props" for writing a big budget book at 15/16.... his parents own a publishing company and GOT it published. I could write this shite at 16 too, but I sure as hell wouldn't expect other people to read it.
 
it's a 45 page thread. by this point, if you still expect a new demo everytime it gets bumped, i'm sorry but you're an idiot.

I think having this thread has been a great solution, except when people don't use it correctly.
 
Yep its up.

Downloading :)

Sooo according to this site a Superman demo is supposed to be up on marketplace :).

900mb.

It's up there, I'm downloading it now.

EDIT:

Ok quick 5 min impressions.

Almost EVERY button on the controller is being used. If you play flight games alot and are use to normal aircraft style controls, switch to control mode 2. Let me get my emo superman joke out the way now. Even without seeing his face I can tell by his hair that he's a nancy boy emo superman. Ok that's done. Now... the game looks like the recent screenshots, great range of vision, you can see WAAAAAAAY far away. The demo is limited to 3-4 outlying industrial islands around metropolis, no flying in to metropolis. The few missions I did were beating up on metallo's mini robot's some regular walking flaming ones, these really speedy ones etc. You have access to 3 super powers, heat vision, super breath, freezing breath. You have to hit a button to select the power(each power is assigned to 1 button) and then hit a different button to use it. Not sure why they did it that way. I like the blur when he lands, takes off... and if you hold down the takeoff landing button while in the air he will land with a ground pound that sends enemies flying. Hurt citizens need to be taken to nearby ambulances.. vehicles can be blown up, on the grown you've got punch and block buttons, as well as a pickup button, people, enemies, vehicles, etc. In the air you've got a super speed button, you fly really fast with a blur, on the ground that becomes a super sprint button.

Though I didn't play Spiderman alot, in many ways Superman feels like Spiderman, there are icon's on the map you can fly to(trouble spots), to eliminate enemies. All in all I didn't see anything ground breaking in the gameplay but it seemed fun. I just need to get the control layout memorized better... good god...

Oh and one final thought... it was weird seeing the movie style font for the opening game credits and not hearing John Williams music... was strange.
