Forum Post: Alright, this one is about Beacons and the way we form Gaming Networks!!! ^_^

I felt like asking how many people have had a great deal of success with "Beacons"??? I've seen people with over 500+ friends on FaceBook that have less than 50 on XBOX LIVE!!! It seems that beacons are bringing the console owners of FaceBook together without a stand-alone app. Has anyone had more than 25% of their current FaceBook Friends turn out to XBOX 360 owners. If so, do you make make more friends in Random server Matchups on LIVE or through social networks like FaceBook. Microsoft already bought Skype and has now integrated it's beacons into FaceBook, I hit the menu button on my controller in a few months and I may be able to Skype while managing my Beacons....

Anyways, Microsoft has a lot on it's plate for the 720 and I guess the 360 will still be fully supported until the 720 owner base grows like it should. However, over 70,000,000 PSPs sold in just the first few years. The Vitas sales apparently went up 400% with the announcement of "One Piece" making it's way to the system. Which is odd since their last OS update increased their browser speed by an average of over 75% and they've announced Hulu+ support is on the way. Not even "Near" or a 2 Gig monthly 3G plan for under $25 a month has had the consumer pull that a single game has!!!

I know "Destiny" is said to be cross compatible between 360 and 720 owners on LIVE. So I guess I'm hoping the 720 will be a natural choice for all current 360 owners. Anyways, how many of you have expanded your play base through Social Networking (FaceBook) as well as general consumerism (LIVE GOLD) and how do you think this will affect online gaming as we all look for other players that may not necessarily be in our Title Lobby at that second. I like gaming with randoms and I've used the Invite, Join, and Party options on LIVE quite a bit with players I prefer.

However, I'm curious just how much carry-over people are experiencing between their available networks??? We can all log into XBOX.com to see what people are playing and now we can use "Beacons" to do that on FaceBook as well. So I'd like to hear what all of you think about the time we spend gaming with Randoms or whoever is on the game or sever of your choice. Along with anything you have to say about the time you spend bringing people into those matches when they might otherwise be about to watch a little Hulu or just be on FaceBook adding to their Likes and Favorites. Not to mention I've noticed a lot of women speaking out on gaming etiquette on LIVE through Reddit.com/r/gaming.... So does anyone see a major difference when they game through the Lobby V.S. Beacons??? Feel free to comment on any of this or even use it to start threads elsewhere, I'd like to hear what other gamer's out there have to say. Felicia Day spoke on Reddit and got me thinking a few days ago and it just now occurred to me to make my first forums post to GameInformer.com!!!

Hope you all enjoyed reading!!!

My least favorite thing is when someone doesn't use a mic and just wanders around like, for lack of a better word, an idiot. They get themselves killed repeatedly, don't take anyone else into consideration, and quit half the time just because they felt like it.

I've ironically got a great co-op memory... but I was playing the co-op mode by myself. I managed to beat the second hardest level in Syndicate's co-op (New England) on hard. To be clear, you have to fight four fully-armed agents along with constantly spawning soldiers in a relatively small area. There's some decent cover but... it wasn't designed or tested for you to play by yourself. The only harder level would be Colorado, which is nearly impossible to solo since you need someone to protect the dropzone or your evac helicopter will be blown apart.

Either Eragon or Lord of the Rings: Conquest. And I just realized how ridiculous that sounded. Conquest is actually really fun with a few people splitscreen, though I never play it alone.

I think Eragon is a good hack and slash game. Plus it had PC co-op on the same screen and computer, which is incredibly rare. The characters differentiated in their abilities as well, which was a nice touch.

That would depend on the skill of your partner.

If you and your partner are both very skilled players, it's probably in your best interests to cooperate in a co-op game where the goal is to win quickly.

However, if your partner has very little skill or experience with the game and you're not willing to waste time holding their hand, playing to maximize your own success would probably complete the game faster.

Both of the above arguments can be turned around as well. Perhaps you and your partner are both very skilled, but the nature of the game is such that you will complete it faster by competing with one another the entire time.

Alternatively, perhaps your partner is unskilled and the game punishes both of you for the failings of one. In that case, you're best option is to help them at every possible instance.

tl;dr version: There is no simple answer because it depends on both the nature of the game and the skill level of the players in question.

It's been quite some time, but I do remember an epic ending to the Estate Takedown mission on veteran. One enemy remaining... slowly creeping around the house. "Please don't be a juggernaut..." Moments later, there goes that horrifying juggernaut audio cue (booOOOOooom). And without any time to prepare a strategy, there he is barreling through the front door. Of course as they'll always do, he saw me for about 0.05 seconds and got me to near death before I cut the corner down into the basement. So I wait there for him, and as soon as the tip of his gun sticks out I charge up and unload the entire clip from the Barrett at about 7 feet away. I think 4 hit, and as I see myself reloading, I know I'm already dead... so I go up for the knife, and it takes him down. Felt... sooo good.
