Indifferent Clox 04-25-2008 02:13 AM

So I just got a 360
 
I have oblivion, so first and foremost tell me some neat shit to do in that,

secondly what games should i get?

I already preordered GTA4 and will get it the day that bitch comes out.

I really want mass effect, and sort of want bioshock.

I'm into games with sandbox esque stuff or really great rpgs with choices and such. Basically i like exploration, downtime, etc.

However I also enjoy good puzzle games from time to time and an occaisonal sports game here and there.

Get XBL and post your GT.

Indifferent Clox 04-25-2008 02:22 AM

won't be getting xbl till around june 3rd prolly. (that's my birthday for all you bitches who ain't in the know.)

Kalyx triaD 04-25-2008 02:37 AM

Forget Halo 3 for now then.

You'll love Bioshock.

D Mac 04-25-2008 04:48 AM

Yeah Bioshock. And Call of Duty 4 when you get live. Don't waste your time on Gaylo 3.

Skippord 04-25-2008 05:14 AM

Creed, Assassins

Kalyx triaD 04-25-2008 09:33 AM

Compare feature sets of Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, the facts will speak for itself. Nuff said.

HankScorpio 04-25-2008 10:06 AM

Burnout Paradise has some good sandbox/downtime features, and CoD4 is the way to go

Extreme Angle 04-25-2008 11:03 AM

Why isit always halo or cod? There kinda the same but in halo you stand a chance of living if you get shot in the back...
Get points and buy castlevania

Kalyx triaD 04-25-2008 11:07 AM

Clox seems to like games with purpose and chill moments and Halo 3 has that, with Foundry and such. And he could try my maps and gametypes! And I'm generally excited about a C-Boyz get together. In GTA 4, red shirts!

Disturbed316 04-25-2008 12:46 PM

Get Crackdown for your sandbox needs. You must get COD4 and Devil May Cry 4 aswell, just simply awesome.

Kalyx triaD 04-25-2008 12:48 PM

I see alot of Nero in Clox.

Anathema 04-25-2008 02:11 PM

when you want to play on xbox live for like forever then get halo 3

Bioshock as a single player game is amazing

Indifferent Clox 04-26-2008 04:52 AM

I've played Halo 3. I've never been great at the Halo games, not that I've invested much time into them. I think they are fun, for sure, but I just don't really enjoy playing them constantly Like once I beat campaign on legendary and play a little bit on live I'm kinda eh with those.

I'm thinking Blue Dragon looks really good. Has anyone picked this up?


also my gamertag is IndifferentClox but I just have silver now.

If anybody wants to pm me some redeemable points I'll be very happy, lol.

Indifferent Clox 04-26-2008 04:56 AM

ok let me give you a list of some my favorite games/ series:

Harvest Moon
Final Fantasy
Animal Crossing
KOTOR
Shenmue
MGS
Earthbound
Chrono Trigger
Deus Ex
Elder Scrolls
Mario RPG/ Superstar Saga/ Paper
GTA
Firepro wrestling
Dragon quest/ warrior

Funky Fly 04-26-2008 04:57 AM

My brother's been playing Blue Dragon. From what I can see, it looks like a decent (if not slightly too kiddy) RPG. It uses the Toriyama art style, so it looks like Dragon Ball Z in 3D, basically. Not the DBZ games, tho; there's none of that cell-shading. Typical turn-based, class-based stuff it seems.

All of these Xbox titles work too, if you haven't already got them.

Bad Company 04-26-2008 05:23 AM

crackdown

Indifferent Clox 04-26-2008 07:11 AM

I love burnout and I also love those sierra adventure games.

Taft 04-26-2008 07:32 AM

Ahhh, you gotta fuckin play me in some Halo.

Serious up, I'll try to get you the hook up with a three month card or whatever.

Next time I hit up the Wal-Martttt.

Kalyx triaD 04-26-2008 09:51 AM

Head to the Gamer Tag thread and start sending those requesties.

G 04-26-2008 11:34 AM

You should Paypal me $30 for a 4000 xbox points card. They cost $50 retail don't you know.

Fryza 04-26-2008 04:55 PM

Clox, I would suggest Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, and BioShock for single-player gaming. Those are some of the best ones you can get.

Fox 04-26-2008 05:03 PM

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2

Or there's something seriously wrong with you.

No. I was extremely let down with this. :n:

Indifferent Clox 04-26-2008 08:10 PM

Did lost odyssey come out on ps2 as well?

what is that cellshade game with the pirates in space and they go to that jungle and depending on what clothes they have on the onscreen thing looks different? umm and there is that really popular secretary?

Fryza 04-26-2008 08:34 PM

1. No.
2. :s Rogue Galaxy maybe?

Indifferent Clox 04-26-2008 08:47 PM

oh yeah that's the one.

Indifferent Clox 04-26-2008 08:55 PM

How can i just sleep till tuesday?

Kalyx triaD 04-27-2008 04:55 PM

Add me. Go to your GT online. Scotty, you too.

Indifferent Clox 04-28-2008 12:34 AM

Let's say I have like 50 bucks to spend Monday the 28th
I already preordered GTA4

should i get
A) Microsoft points for DC (for Shivering Isles and GTA4 expansions when they comesout)
B) Xbox Live subscription (I'll get this on my birthday if not)
C)Mass Effect
D) Bioshock
E) Blue Dragon
F) some other game?


Also is lost odyssey really that good?

Fryza 04-28-2008 12:41 AM

First off, do not buy points if you want Shivering Isles. The Oblivion Game of the Year edition comes with SI and Knights of the Nine. It is sixty, but you get everything all together.

If you are to get a subscription for your birthday, just wait off on that.

Now, you are stuck between four games listed, I have played through all of them, I would suggest Mass Effect of Lost Odyssey over all of them.

BioShock is an AMAZING game, but it is the shortest of the three. Easily a ten-to-fifteen hour adventure. It is a good rental, but once you beat it, all you have left is finishing the achievements if you want a full 1,000 posts.

Blue Dragon is done by Mistwalker, and was their first game. It is interesting, and three discs long, however, Lost Odyssey is Mistwalker's third game, and four discs long. It is a MUCH better RPG, and if you like FF type games, you will love it (I hate Final Fantasy, but LO is great).

Mass Effect is one of the- if not the- best game on the 360. You will spend a lot of time just reading stats and bios you do not have to read, and doing EVERYTHING can be an easy forty hours of gameplay. Also, unlocking achievements unlocks extra features in the game, so it is nice.

But, it is your call. Call of Duty 4 is really good too, and is highly played online. The story mode is nice, but rather short. Same with Gears or Halo. Those games are good for their multiplayer more so than their single.

Indifferent Clox 04-28-2008 01:04 AM

Other things to consider man:

I have oblivion already and am not gonna buy the game of the year addition.

I really Want to play GTA 4 online. Like as soon as I get it.

While I love FF I love Dragon Quest even more.

Does Blue Dragon/ LO have lots of little easter eggs?

I'm probably going with mass effect or a subscription. I just can't decide.

I'd love a timeframe for when the new content would be coming out.

I might just get some cigs.

Indifferent Clox 04-28-2008 01:28 AM

About Blue Dragon

"The main narrative isn't filled with many twists and turns but even the expository cut-scenes are entertaining, even if they do suffer from occasionally awkward translations. The game world is also vibrant and expansive, with nearly every rock and bush acting as a home to currency, jewelry, and permanent stat bonuses. There are even some character diaries and imaginary novels hidden in furniture, just waiting to be discovered."

I like little imaginary novels and charecter diaries hiding in furniture.

"Take on a handful of baddies at once, and a fight could break out between incompatible enemies; nasty rats will start gnawing on overgrown crickets instead of attacking your crew."

awesome.


About Lost Odyssey

One review said it had MMORPG like qualities. Such as?

What saves this from being a simple RPG? What is the level of exploring and sidequests and open endedness to it?

Indifferent Clox 04-28-2008 01:53 AM

Also assasins creed looks fucking brilliant.

D Mac 04-28-2008 06:08 AM

Get Shivering Isles and Bioshock
