" @Ashenn: You shouldn't judge kinect based on an in progress shitty sonic game. If we judged consoles based on sonic games everything past the dreamcast would suck horribly. "
No you are right. I guess like most gamers I'm just a little disappointed in the lack of anything that would spike my interest so far. The tech should work because it isn't particularly a new idea, but the idea is useless to me if they don't implement it in the right way and that means they have to put a game out that either shows us a new way to play or improves on the old way. And don't get me wrong there is nothing I want more than for M/S to come up with that. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
" RTSs. Someone could probably come up with a crazy minority report interface for RTS games that would be infinitely better than anything a controller can do, and maybe it could even be better than keyboard and mouse. "
I wish. But looking at that quicklook seemed like that might be a little hard to do since ryan couldn't even hit the start button and had a hard time dragging stuff around. I always though it was a huge shame that they took out so much of the detail that the camera would pick up. Just seems to me that they are going for the wii market and aren't really willing to do much more. But M/S please prove me wrong and bring out a great game that I would want to play
" I have a pair of Grado SR60s and have yet to hear a pair of sub 100 dollar headphones anywhere near the quality but I have never heard the 80s. If I were you I would just get the 80s, put on your favorite record and hear things for the first time. Koss Portapros are nice too, but I would still recommend the grados. "
QFT. Grado by far makes the best headphones in terms of performance/dollar. The SR80i headphones are widely regarded (by audiophiles, mind you) as the best headphones you can buy for under $100. And I'd argue their SR225i's are the best $200 headphones around. Someone mentioned the PortaPro's in an earlier post, these are also quite good for the money. "
These guys know what they are talking about. I'm a music tech student and I have the Grado SR80i's, 60's are great too. But the sound quality out of them is amazing. Defiantly check them out you wont find many if any better sounding headphones. Plus they fit what you want since they are open.
I am glad I'm not the only one then :) @CharlieTuna said:
" The problem with practice league is that it's played in "slower" game speed, while real multiplayer is played in "faster". It might come as a shock if you get used to the pace in practice league, which is why that league might not be very useful. It's really a HUGE difference, play a custom game against the AI and you'll see. "
This worries me just a bit haha. I have been playing against the computer at default settings though so hopefully it wont come as such a shock.
So I got starcraft 2 two days ago and have gotten through the first half of the campaign (which I am finding extremely enjoyable).
It being time for bed I decided to take part in my first online match. It was in the practice league as I have never played another starcraft game. I was really nervous because I expected to be shoved aside by a better player than I. But no I won and in no more than 15 mins. I was so happy and relieved, I now can't wait to play tomorrow to both see the campaign and also try my luck at the online again.
What gets me though is the fact that I was nervous to go into a online match. That is a new feeling for me, in games like COD and BBC2 I jumped straight in without hesitation. I liked the feeling though mainly because when I did win it felt great.
Has anyone else had the same feeling as me? How did your first match go? And if you lost it did it scare you away from jumping straight back in or make you want to prove yourself more?
