What game should I buy? I already have Lost Odyssey, COD4, Assassin's Creed, Bioshock, and Mass Effect(just to name a few). I'm not interested in Too Human(even though it's not out yet). With that criteria, what game should I buy?

Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
New Game
"You may like Mercenaries 2, which is supposed to come out next week...and if you haven't played Dead Rising I would highly recommend you pick that up. Not to mention it's cheap now."I wasn't too interested in Dead Rising when it was released. I thought Mercs 2 is being released in September.
"Gears of War? What do you like anyways?"I mainly like RPGs(I already have Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Oblivion, just saying), but I also like shooters, music and rhythm, adventures(sometimes), and fighting.
"Mass Effect, do it nao."You didn't read the topic post where I stated that I already have Mass Effect did you?
"ZimpanX said:"Gears of War? What do you like anyways?"I mainly like RPGs(I already have Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Oblivion, just saying), but I also like shooters, music and rhythm, adventures(sometimes), and fighting."
Then Gears of War, Halo 3, The Orange Box, GRAW, DOA4, Guitar Hero 3, Lost Planet: Colonies or Soul Calibur IV
"DualReaver said:I half-assedly read it, thought you were listing games you were thinking about getting."Mass Effect, do it nao."You didn't read the topic post where I stated that I already have Mass Effect did you?"
>_>
"LightYagami245 said:I don't think he said he liked Fighting games, and shooters but I guess he would. the orange box is great even for people who don't like FPS's.

Out of the list now, and including Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which would be the best game to get?

Yes if you plan to play co-op with one or a few buddies that is."
"Soul Calibur IV is pretty awesome. Give it a try"I'm undecisive between SC4 and The Orange Box. I haven't heard of anything bad about the Orange Box, but for SC4, some of the characters play similar, but I do like the series.
"LightYagami245 said:Good point.I'm undecisive between SC4 and The Orange Box. I haven't heard of anything bad about the Orange Box, but for SC4, some of the characters play similar, but I do like the series."Go with The Orange Box, 5 games in one, you can't go wrong with that. ;)"
"Get Gears of War if you're seeking a multiplayer experience."I think I have COD4 for that.
"LightYagami245 said:Very good suggestion. Bioshock is also great in any collection. Even if you beaten it already it's still worth having around.I'm undecisive between SC4 and The Orange Box.

Especially when playing with a friend right beside you.
You're one of the few blu....honestly, Its not that Gears has a bad mp, its just a combination of all the little problems it has online, and glitches, getting pop ups telling you 'connection error' every 2 seconds, the constant bullet lag, and mostly the way the majority of people play the game, it makes people that don't even want to play that way have no choice in the matter except rolling around with a shotgun. Even Cliff Blezinski said he hates that the game has become that, and he hates people that do it..which is why hes made it much harder on people in Gears 2 to do.
and mainly Cod4 is just more versatile for online, way more modes to play, Gears 2, does look like its trying to fix a ton though, and will fucking be amazing.
but Gears is great for Co-op if a friend has it, its tons of fun, but for just online mp Cod4 definitely has more options and at least isn't broken.

Gears is still one one of the most played games online but i get what you're saying. Honestly, the glitches aren't really a big issue for me and I barely ever get connection errors but when I do it's usually because someone's quitting the game. Bullet lag is only an issue I face when a friend of mine hosts but it is annoying. Even with all these issues I'd still play Gears online over COD4.

Its not like you're telling it like it is while everyone else isn't..its just your opinion.
Did you say if you had Bad Company? that's a pretty fun game, just added a new mode recently to it as well(well classic bf mode)
this wasn't aimed at you btw blu, was at dude before you, but ya everyone has their preferences... just stating Gears 1 kind of turned ofr the worse all due to the players.. Gears 2 will be 30x more awesome online though from what I've heard/seen.
"Its not like you're telling it like it is while everyone else isn't..its just your opinion.Gears wasn't bad because of the players. They were just making due with what they had. I mean let's face it, when the game first came out the lancer was a pretty weak weapon so they had to turn to the shotgun. Eventually everyone got used to the shotgun and made it their primary weapon. I've also seen some gameplay vids of Gears 2 multiplayer and I think it's still possible to play the same way but it will be a little tougher.

I really hope it isn't possible to play that way. From what I've seen its mostly been stopped by, even if people try rolling at you with a shotgun..the stopping power of an assault rifle will push them back and keep them there. The main thing I think that is going to be abused in the second, is people sticking concussion grenades to walls..since they throw people on the ground when they detonate, they do that...then just walk up to them on the ground and shoots them point blank with the shotgun. I just hope it never gets that bad..it looks like they made so many strong improvements in the mp.
Most every great game has been covered, but I'd also recommend Amped 3. Great game, highly underrated.

The new concussive force will stop those who are foolish enough to just rush in but skilled players could probably sneak around you and blast you.
"Kush said:Well I just checked the dates...and they say August 31st. So it could very likely end up coming out in September, but I have been hearing August as well."You may like Mercenaries 2, which is supposed to come out next week...and if you haven't played Dead Rising I would highly recommend you pick that up. Not to mention it's cheap now."I wasn't too interested in Dead Rising when it was released. I thought Mercs 2 is being released in September."
Gears of War or Ninja Gaiden II. Though since your into JRPG's, I will also reccommend DMC4 because it had a JRPG feel and it is just fun as well as Tales of Vesperia because it is a JRPG...
And lawlz, Cliffy B did not say he hated GoW, GoW would not have sold so well, still be extremely popular, and have gotten great reviews from all if it sucked. He was jsut being very over critical. The game has it's flaws, but every game does, right Halo fans?

Actually, it is rare to see glitchers in ranked. I play online almost daily I know :P The only time I see glitchers is in player matches, which is usually just a bunch of fucking around anyway so no one minds
I will also reccommend DMC4 because it had a JRPG feelPlease don't tell me your serious dude
I never said he hated the game in general... he stated he 'hated' what it ending up becoming online, the shotgun rolling which is 90% of all that happens online in it is what he couldn't stand, then he openly said "yeah, I admit it..we fucked up." And though you don't mind that Blu, plenty of people do..anyone can play a third person game where you just roll around near people and fire a shotgun, gears is supposed to be way more than that, thats what Cliff was critisizing of the first games online and how it ended up is all. Not gonna get in a debate or argument, just stating what was the truth even from the man himself. I'm still super stoked for Gears 2 as I said though, it looks like its making a ton of improvements.

The story felt like they went out of their way to rip off cliche'd animes xD Don't get me wrong though, I did enjoy it."

I literally just ejected the disc and haven't touched it since.
"you don't have halo 3?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?! fail. get 1 and 2 as well. oh and get forza 2 and pgr 4"I have Halo 1. Didn't care for it. I played Halo 2, and it still didn't interest me, so I decided to avoid Halo 3. I have COD4 to replace Halo 3.
