So... - Page 2

MY favorites will probably seem strange, but I've always been addicted to platforming.

Sonic Unleashed
Orange Box (only if your PC can't handle it--don't get it for TF2, it'll never be updated)
Soul Calibur IV (Fun to mess with customization)

If you haven't played these yet, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie.

I'd suggest a decently sized hard drive, too. Don't get an Arcade without plans to upgrade. I got my hard drive from Taiwan, saved $60.

flaws include paint-by-numbers JRPG plot, atrocious voice acting that will make you envy the deaf.

Sir, I've had a Wii since release day.

Thanks, everyone, for the recommendations. I'm not looking at getting a PS3; not interested. Any of the games I seriously want, I can get on the 360. I'm getting really excited about the prospect of playing Darksiders and Bayonetta. wantwantwantwant.

There seems to be some after Christmas stock clearance sales going on at the game stores at the moment. Once we're back at work, I'm going to seriously consider the purchase, and hunt down these games. Yay!

Bayonetta is ****ing tight.

*ahem*

as an owner of both a wii and a 360, I can say that the wii has some amazing titles.

smash brothers, punchout wii, no more heroes, no more heroes 2, madworld, mario galaxy (1&2), super paper mario, metroid prime 3, and metroid: other M is comming out soon.

so yeah...

I don't think anybody has made mention of Assassin's Creed 1 or 2 yet. There's also Dragon Age: Origins, and off the XBLA I'd very highly recommend Castle Crashers.

And I've also heard off the XBLA Blacklight: Tango Down is like Call of Duty or Medal of Honor or any of those games but with a $15-20 price range, if that's appealing to you.

Oh, wait... something's coming to me... yeah... Darth Vader/Yoda system exclusives... I guess I did know it was on XBox 360...

I guess I just haven't seen it recently. But thanks for reminding me since we got our 360 fixed; I'll be looking for SC4 in stores now...

Fairlight Excalibur · 08-10-2010, 03:15 PM

^^^^ Epic topic revival there, Inferno.

^Yes. Practice. Practice while you can, weakling. The time draws near for me to visit and crush you and your brother, introduce you to my significant other, and laugh hysterically as she crushes you too.

Although, I do not like how the guard impacts have been tweaked in this iteration.

Back on topic, Saria, did you ever but a 360?

Zaden · 08-10-2010, 04:44 PM

The only people who can beat Firestorm are little Japanese kids.

Unless you already played him and beat him

Speaking of, do you ever see him at college? Or do you guys not have any classes in common?

Also, do you have a 360 at college?

Fishmael · 08-18-2010, 02:36 AM

xbox 360 is a worthy investment. Lotta fun, for nintendo fans as well

Valentine · 08-21-2010, 07:04 AM

Did you ever get a 360 SD? You should add my gamertag so you can hear me shouting and swearing at the TV.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 08-21-2010, 07:58 AM

Assassin's Creed is pretty ace; we've got it on PC.

No, we never did get the 360. Work hours got cut and all that, so it was put off once more. I might decide to use some of our tax return to get one, though. XD

lulz, you swear, Stu? I didn't think that was possible.

Kargath · 08-21-2010, 09:43 AM

Just remember that multiplayer access on 360 costs $80 a year

Valentine · 08-22-2010, 06:38 PM

^^ Can't be polite and well-mannered all the time, especially when playing against the nooby masses on Xbox Live.

Fairlight Excalibur · 09-04-2010, 05:50 AM

So I just took a crack at Soul Calibur IV's online play via Xbox Life...

It bites.

Like a crocodile, only harder and with smellier breath.

There is a small amount of lag present at all times, roughly one half second.

Problem is, in a game where split second reflexes make or break you, half a second is far too much. Try guard impacting online - cringeworthy.

Is it just me? Metal Man, do you encounter the same problem?

Dry Bones · 09-06-2010, 03:08 PM

Modern Warfare 2 is my favorite.

Fairlight Excalibur · 09-06-2010, 04:57 PM

We have that too, but it is not very remarkable.

Run in circles and hope you do not get blindsided while you try to blindside people, or else wait in corners and snipe those foolish enough to set foot out in the open.

Or at least, this is what it looks like watching online play. Still better than SC4 online.

Commence flaming.

***Cosmonautical*** · 09-16-2010, 06:43 AM

Basically, SD is reasonable enough to realize the PC is a pretty viable alternative. I built my system around the principle of getting the most out of the gaming aspect of it on our projector, so it's pretty sweet. Stuff like mods and better shaders more than make up for the delays and such, and there are a few exclusives like the Witcher that are pretty sexy.

I think we'll be getting a 360 soonish if we ever bother. I have a lot of gaming to be done via the comp or the Wii, though.

Not to knock the 360, that is, it does well for a system getting on in its lifespan now.

Fairlight Excalibur · 09-17-2010, 02:16 AM

^It that a response to a prior post, or an independent comment?

Just asking because I fail to see any relevance to conversations within the last four posts.
