| shams said: If I had to choose between Oblivion, Lost Odyssey or Eternal Sonata - which should I get? I tend to prefer "harder core" RPGs (harder ones for sure). I might be able to grab one, and borrow a couple of others. Is Assassins Creed worth it? (or am I better off borrowing it, or renting it?) - not sure if he has it anyway. |
Good choice on Mass Effect.
Eternal Sonata is totally lame (but pretty), unless you enjoy laughing at youtube videos of embarrassingly bad cutscenes.
If you prefer Western RPGs, Oblivion, if you like JRPGs, Lost Odyssey. If you want both, go with LO because copies of Oblivion are cheaper and easier to find.
Assassin's Creed is barely even worth renting or borrowing. Play it for 2-3 hours, and if you are mentally disturbed* enough to want to do those same things over and over again ad nauseum, I guess you could keep with it. But with all the quality 360 games out there, you have no good reason to be bored enough to do so.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
