Topic: 360: Worth it?

[Kairon]

130 Euros is quite a deal, KDR. But it'd still be deadweight if you can't think of... what, 3 more games in addition to EDF and GTA IV you'd play on it? .. what sort of games DO you like? What are you looking for?

I can play pretty much anything that's not racing, sports or Tom Clancy though I often decide on a case by case basis for no real reason. RPGs only occassionally since they take way more time than I have so I forget about playing them further (I forget faster if the RPG is open-ended). 3d fighting games not much as I can't remember arbitrary button sequences well and prefer the direct mapping of 2d games where a button tends to do the same thing every time and I can remember my combos by action instead of button. Not sure about platformers, haven't played many of those. I like sidescrolling 2d games but that probably doesn't do anything on home consoles. I prefer FPSes with lots of firepower and targets, going out and killing stuff instead of cowering behind a wall and emptying a whole clip into a single target. I've made the experience that great games of a genre tend to be fun even for those who don't know or like the genre though.

Overall I'm looking for good games I can't get on my PC or Wii though. I guess the difficulty of putting what I want into words is also the reason I have trouble finding a game selection.

Then 360 is not for you, their best games are all on PC also and the rest are either on PS3 or to some extent on Wii also. I am the opposite. I don't keep my PC up to date enough to play games so even being on PC I would have to get a game on whatever console it is available for.



Pale: I knew that but I was listing the games from memory. PLus he said PS3 was too expensive so I was trying to show what was on 360 that might be good.

KDR at this point a gaming PC is the best for you since a lot of multiplat games on PC is cheaper and if they are console orientated you can always grab a 360 or PS3 pad(with USB to mini usb cable) and use one. A lot of 360 exclusives end up on the PC anyways. As for another console a PS3 when you can can afford one.

I guess gaming in general is just in a very sorry state...

I think this generation is in a sorry state more than anything. High console prices, price hike on games(PS3/360), super short single player and a multiplayer mode that supposed to last players hundreds of hours, ship it out fast patch and fix the game later are some of the horrible mentalities this generation has brought.
