getting an xbox360, sooo.... recommend me some games :D

NinjaSYXX · 06-23-2006, 12:39 AM

the 3 games i'm getting is Dead or Alive 4, Ridge Racer 6 (i'm a huge fan and i must have it) and Burnout revenge, i might get some games later on when i get the money, what games would you recommend.

o yea btw, i'm getting my 360 for $50 ;p because someone traded it in, in the ebgames that i work at, and i'm taking advantage of the $280 price tag for a premium 360 ;p best of all, my employee discount lowers the price even more, and i'm doing a massive trade in run including my old xbox, so i'm practically getting it for almost nothing.

great deal fosho. I'll get on Xboxlive and all, recommend me some games please

btw, i'm not too big on sports games, so please don't recommend me madden, nba or anything like that.

Right now i'm really enjoying Rockstars Table Tennis, great game. As far other games that are good? You work for EB! Just borrow games and find the ones that you like!

kimcicle · 06-23-2006, 01:13 AM

Geometry Wars.

Everything else on the 360 so far has been rubbish in terms of enjoyment vs cost. =/ Don't play Perfect Dark, Kameo, or any of the sports games.

Fight Night is good for about a few weeks then gets boring with the computer randomly parrying shit left and right.

Rumble Roses XX was kinda bad, same with Tomb Raider: Legends.

Hell, if you work at EBGames, aren't you allowed to "check out" games like at Gamestop? I know I checked out a lot of games that I'm very glad I didn't plunk down the 50+ to purchase.

G.R.A.W the best or FFXI either way if you want to play online you have to pay anyways

NinjaSYXX · 06-23-2006, 01:21 AM

well i might get my job back at compusa, so yea i won't be handling 2 jobs at once, i'm gonna be leaving EB games soon, but no we don't have such a program, and sadly we don't have many used xbox360 games, or else i'd be using the 7 day return policy to my advantage (EB 7 day rental program XD) but yea, i hear mixed things about tomb raider legends, but what do you guys think honestly of the 3 games i'm getting? I've always played and enjoyed ridge racer 6 at my uncle's house especially w/ his beautiful HDTV, and the game is pretty damn long for the single player mode it seems.

i've been considering ffxi because of the fact that i can play my character while lying down on the bed ;p but i have a great pc already handling the game, so i'll leave that game alone for now, prolly when the price drops a little more since i already paid $30 for the pc expansion on ToAU.

mofoka696 · 06-23-2006, 01:27 AM

well I don't like racing games that much but I have to say that DOA 4 is a solid game expexialy online but the final battle is a pain in the ass is so hard that makes FAXX cry. but if you like FPS you should go with GRAW, Battlefield 2, and call of duty but if you want to end your social life there is always Oblivion

eddie · 06-23-2006, 01:32 AM

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion and Rockstar Table Tennis FTW.

And make sure to stock up on Microsoft Points before you leave EB. They're alot cheaper if you buy them with your employee discount, and Street Fighter II, Frogger, tapper, Gauntlet, Smash TV, Geometry Wars, Joust, etc. Make it an awesome idea. I play Live Arcade just as much, if not more, than my regular 360 games.

mofoka696 · 06-23-2006, 01:36 AM

That's true man i love Geometry wars and Astropop but AP is really hard i've only unlocked 20 gamerpoints

NinjaSYXX · 06-23-2006, 01:43 AM

well, compusa or EB games i can get an employee discount on gamerpoints and xboxlive gold cards so no worries on that, i'll borrow table tennis from my uncle one of these days

Ichigo Style · 06-23-2006, 01:58 AM

I've played/own all three, so I may as well give you a breakdown
Dead or Alive 4 - I enjoyed it, it was a hard game and the online is fun if you can find some good people to play with.

Ridge Racer 6 - I had this game before the system was released, I loved R4, and I was a bit let down, one of my big complaints is that the online mode has a horendious frame rate, plus, if someone drops the race NO ONE gets points, when I was playing there were many japanese users dropping races and claiming it was their ISP, which is utter crap and they know it. Not sure if this has been fixed, but there are numerous downloads for it. The online beats PGR3, just starting that games online career is hell "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING GETTING INFRONT OF ME!? I'M GOING TO FLOOR THE NEXT CORNER RIGHT INTO YOU AND USE YOU AS A WALL BECAUSE YOU MADE A SMART LINE TO CUT INFRONT OF ME" >.>

Burnout Revenge - I liked Burnout 3 more, revenge looks purdy, but its the same old game :/

Another game that I had a LOT of fun with was AMPED 3, sure, Indybuilt is no longer with us, but this game was a blast to play through

Novasonic of /flex · 06-23-2006, 02:58 AM

You should rent Condemned: Criminal Origins. That game is fucking money. But too short to warrant buying it.

MidnightRecession · 06-23-2006, 07:03 AM

Oblivion is great on the 360 if you haven't got the PC to run it. I'm a really big fan of GR:AW, too, as the cover system is beautifully executed and the entire thing is presented in a highly immersive fashion. You said you're gonna get RR6, and that's a good buy in terms of game time vs. dollars paid, although as usual the endgame is absolute controller-smashing frustration.

Buy a bunch of Market points and go nuts in there, too. Geometry Wars and Astropop are wonderful games, as are the Midway ports.

As for the other two you're getting for sure, yes, DoA4 is a good game in most of the same ways that Ultimate was, and Burnout Revenge has a shitload of content that'll keep you busy for a long damn time.

NinjaSYXX · 06-23-2006, 08:26 AM

thanks midnight, yea i got oblivion on pc so i'm not gonna bother on 360, if i get the other job, i'm gonna get ffxi, i'll hold off on that for now. I was considering GR:AW but i can always borrow that from my uncle as well, i know he barely plays it.

Elixir · 06-23-2006, 11:08 AM

Oblivion is the only 360 game worth buying. Geometry Wars too, although it isn't a direct 360 title.

...

Yeah, that's it. Don't expect much from the Dreamcast 2.

Disagreeing. If you can't find anything else to like in the entire catalog you have rotten taste.
