BD on xLive right now?

-edit-

Yes it is and 1.13GB in size.

Ok, an odd thing: there's also an E3 2007 "video" for Too Human that clocks in at 400+ MB. You can download it, but it's got the "lock" symbol on it and it's not viewable. Strange.

Crap, they pulled the demo from xLive.

Will 60% done download still run...?

So was it an accident that it went up? Or was it a limited time thing?

Wow, glad I grabbed this first thing last night. I'm very interested to give it a try this evening.

I read in the Evil Avatar forums that the Blue Dragon demo is back on the Marketplace, so grab it if you're inclined!

I got the NCAA 08 demo and I really liked the feel....except for the constant stuttering when the hard drive reads data at certain points. I hope the real thing will be smoother.

Confirmed. It is back up.

I just finished the first dungeon in the demo.

For anyone who's watched DBZ, you should know immediate how the characters look. They even have the classic DBZ constipation look while charging attacks. The voice acting isn't terrible but not awesome either. To be honest, it's still better than I expected. The game itself looks great. The music sounds good so far but I've only heard about 4 songs. The boss battle theme made me laugh the first time I heard it because it's a Japanese guy singing in Engrish. That's a hit or miss right there.

The characters don't attack the enemies; their shadows do. No random battles but it doesn't make it any better that enemies fall from the skies right on top of you. As long as you're quick you can avoid some fights. The battles are turned-based but there are a few things that make it interesting. Your attacks can be charged. There's a bar and pictures of your party and enemies show when they will take their turn. The amount of time you charge your attack determines what order everyone takes their turns in. If you need to heal immediately you charge up to the point before the enemy takes a turn. If you want a super charged attack, you can charge past the enemy's turn letting them go first but hitting them much harder. Works the other way around too.

There's not much else to be said. You'll just have to try it. I'm definitely picking this game up when it launches.

Umm you kinda took my whole post out of context. I'm not a DBZ fan either. Have you ever heard of Chrono Trigger? Akira Toriyama's artwork is all over that game too. I guess I should've been clearer when I said "sound like." The voice acting was expected but none of them sound like Goku or Piccolo.

Blue Dragon's designers include:

Hironobu Sakaguchi : Final Fantasy Dude Who Wrote Story and Supervised
Akira Toriyama : Artwork Guy
Nobuo Uematsu : Final Fantasy Music Maker

None of that equals DBZ. If it did I would've deleted it at 2am this morning after playing for an hour.

I dont know, ill have to give this another look. After having a giant white tiger thing jump down on my party, then magically morph into two giant white tiger things. Then they had like 4 attacks each before i had a turn and killed 2 of my members, i turned it off.

I sort of want to wait and watch that bomb go off around her neck.

Is it hilarious?

And yet you're still entranced with WoW?

Have you played WoW? The combat system is pretty deep. But the real point of WoW is to play with other people, at least for me. Combat with a group in a dungeon is usually not dull, at least for me.

Probably you didn't want a serious answer.
