So I haven't played a video game in over a year

[DrA]

I bought all of these games that I never even touched, and pretty soon I want to go through and play them all. I am letting you, meaning you all, help me choose which game I should play first.

The games that I have but never played are:

Super Mario Sunshine
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
God of War

Probably some others as well. Get to it.

[El Fangel]

God of War, Hands the fuck down.

[Destor]

KOTOR as you seem to consider yourself an intelectual. Hands down. Then Twilight Princess then God of War.

[PapaGeorgio]

God of War would be best for you. Great game plus quick play. Will get you back into videogames no doubt.

[ClockShot]

KOTOR as you seem to consider yourself an intelectual. Hands down. Then Twilight Princess then God of War.

Ditto.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Zelda: TP or KOTOR easily :)

[Y2Ant]

Both Zelda games.

I have a similar dilemma actually as I have never touched Super Mario Sunshine, F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime, Super Smash Bros. Melee, or any of my Xbox games.

[Gonzo]

Why would you buy games and not play them? Ridiculous I say.

[OssMan]

Wind Waker

[Requiem]

KotoR. I love God of War, but KotoR is so amazing. Second, play God of War. Then, Twilight Princess.

[PapaGeorgio]

I stand by my pick of God of War, it is a quick play that will get you back into videogames. Not sure if you want to commit to a longer game, listen to me as I am right.

[Requiem]

I dunno. I think the character advancement of KotoR would probably get him hooked a lot more than GoW's would.

[Dorkchop]

God of War.

[PapaGeorgio]

I just think God of War is a simple game, nothing at all complex to it. Great Story though and great arcade type feel to it. Moves along really quickly, and leaves you wanting more.

[Purgatory]

If you just wanna tear shit up and kill things, God Of War is the way.

If you're feeling 'cutesy' and want a 'feel good' type game, then Super Mario Sunshine is a good, albeit not great, start.

If you're in need of a lengthy adventure, then KTOR, Twilight princess and Wind Waker are awesome.

I haven't experienced the Metroid Prime series, as of yet. I have, however, played Metroid Fusion on the GBA and was impressed.

[El Fangel]

Is KOTOR Xbox exclusive?

[Gonzo]

Its on PC as well as XBox IIRC.

[El Fangel]

No Playstation ports?

[PapaGeorgio]

Stone Cold Steve Austin says I just played God of War and I'll give the stunner to anyone else who disagrees with me. OH HELL YEAH.

[Destor]

No Playstation ports? no

[El Fangel]

Thats likely a big reason why I have never played it, and I hate playing any non-shooter on PC.

[Destor]

X-box

[El Fangel]

I stated before in another thread I am too lazy to bring up.

Fuck XBox

[Destor]

Except they gave us Fable and KOTOR and Jade Empire and Mass Effect, Dead Rising and Halo, well I dont really care for Halo, but still. So many great exclusives. KOTOR.

[Requiem]

Yeah, not really sure why you hate xbox. It was and is an amazing system, regardless of the issues. Developers have made some pretty amazing titles on the Xbox.

And also, KotoR plays extremely well on the PC. You could probably just find a nice torrent of it and get it for free if you don't feel like buying such an old game.

Fable and Fable: Lost Chapters, Halo 1 and 2, Other then those I had to incentive to get an Xbox, I borrowed my buddies, and nearly killed myself getting the fucking thing home, I hate the controllers with a passion, only ones worse were the N64 Controllers.

I think I remember a friend playing KOTOR on XBox, is it more of a RPG then a battle game?

Also the above reasons, plus the horrible price of a Xbox 360, Very few exclusive games I want ( Halo 3, Gears of War, and Saints Row) and the goddamn RROD

[Requiem]

Horrible price? You just bought (or were going to buy) a god damn PS3 you stupid git.

And yes, KotoR is more of an RPG. It is the game that Mass Effect's style was based on. They really only changed the combat, but the rest is very similar. Simply modernized.

Not sure why you hate the controllers either. The original xbox had the s-controller which was amazing. Fit perfectly and was very sturdy. While I liked playstation more last generation, I always liked the xbox's controller more. The Playstation's controller feels flimsy and the joysticks have terrible grip. Not to mention on the modern consoles the triggers are a lot better than the PS3's. The PS3 controller is so uncomfortable it isn't even funny.

Not that I don't like the PS3. I like it a lot in fact. But the 360 is a better console for gaming in nearly all aspects.

I did buy it, for $200 less then in stores.

thought so, I may look into getting it for PC, since it was interesting.

The controllers felt bulky and awkward, I dont know, just reminded me of N64, which were oddly shaped and weird to use, I am opposite of you, Playstation controllers seem to fit perfectly for me, and are comfortable, and the joysticks are fine for me, PS3 controller has weird R2/L2 buttons I must admit, I think its to keep them from sticking, and getting mashed down ( Mine used to alot)

Im not saying XBox 360 is a bad machine, its quite good, I just dont like anything about it, like I said I dislike the controllers, not many games that are exclusive hold my interest, and the RROD isnt a problem with the PS3

[OssMan]

The original XBox controller was pretty much the reason I hated the original XBox so much. But I like the 360 controller a lot, and I also like the 360 itself a lot.
