Xbox 360 Fancast 083 -- Totally Boned
Despite our own best judgment and several threats, we have published yet another episode of the Xbox 360 Fancast. This week we discuss all the latest and greatest on the Xbox 360 and also wander far far off topic. Don't worry though because it's hilarious. At least we thought it was at the time. We also take on serious topics like the changing face of gaming journalism and ... um ... VelocityGirl. Listen, and listen well.

Commando = one of best classes. seriously, you dont need combo metre or anything else. you basically just blow stuff up and use your battle cry to boost damage output.
Bio-Engineer = EASILY the worst...
Why?
They need, NEED, to heal themselves. Every other class doesnt require healing except this one. Plus, they really cant defend themselves well enough and definately can't output as much damage, as most skills are based around healing.
Defender = IMO the best class. You can tank, do damage, and give helpful group battle cries... its like a berserker without DYING ten thousand times.
I actually got every single achievement, and my last achievement was dying 100 times. Thats how few times a defender dies. Berserkers die A TON.
Great podcast :)

PS: My knowledge base comes from me and friends.
I have 7/7 ELITE LVL 50 Human Defender
Friends: 2/7 ElITE LVL 50 Cyber Commando, and two 1/7 ELITE LVL 50 Cyber/Human Bio-Engineers.
Out of all of us, the commando can hit enemies far out of our range, plus generally can down trolls in 4 seconds (only class that can do that). Try seeing how fast a commando can down the 1st, 3rd, and both level 4 bosses...
its a fact that Commando is the best :P
perhaps we shall agree to disagree... hmmm

Richard, you might not be rich, but you are rich in Charisma, my friend!

Haven't listened yet, but gotta say that is an awesome pic. Gotta wonder what your fatalities would be. Is Alexander a hidden character?
Will @ Sep 16th 2008 10:06AM
I laughed so much during this epidose. Thanks
Timerider @ Sep 16th 2008 12:32PM
Dead Rising is awesome. Do not dis Frank.
Larry @ Sep 16th 2008 2:07PM
You can go directly to mission by clicking Go to Aesir from menu and you don't have to repeat the story.
I was not a great Command, but if you get a hammer and knock the enemies up in the air you can then use your guns to keep them up in the air. That will increase your combo level fast.
NummNutts @ Sep 16th 2008 3:13PM
This generation will NEVER give up games. Furthermore, I am doing my part to spread the love of our beloved pastime to future generations (a.k.a. my kids). Nothing better than Castle Crashers with kids =)
Timerider @ Sep 16th 2008 3:23PM
lol, punch face.
Odog4ever @ Sep 17th 2008 6:42PM
I know Alexander got Rock Band 2 before the rest of you guys but I think everybody on the fancast should get it and form an online band named, wait for it... "Boned".
That is all.

I'm not a commando player most of the time, but they're an extraordinarily powerful class and can kill anything as quickly as a good berserker.
The main key is using your alt-fire modes, grenades both stun ranged attacks and knock enemies around, and with decent reload skill (if you went human) and runes you can fire grenades literally as fast as you can pull the left trigger!
As for targetting isues, you can accurately "hipfire" your weapons if you actually pay attention to which way yourcharacter is facing, and if you just slowly wave the right thumbstick through a crowd of enemies, it's easy to kill them all and never get "stuck" to corpses. Use corpses to maintain your combo efficiency, and use ranged-immune enemies and ranged-juggling to build absurdly high combo efficiency (and thus combo meter) numbers.

Thank goodness for Gamefly. I used to just buy games I wanted to try. That's how I've ended up with 46 xbox 360 games.
Urza @ Sep 19th 2008 12:02AM
Guys guys guys. The reason GRAW2 was on the disc of OXM is because it was the 2 DLC packs, FREE.
The DLC packs aren't free on XBL.
DjDATZ @ Sep 24th 2008 10:14AM
The transfer cable is free you n00bs. You order it from Xbox.com. Get your facts straight. LOL
Love you guys, awesome show.
