Okay first off im a former $ony fanboy so yeah i was very spitful against the 360 for the longest time and even VOWED never to even let a 360 be graced by my presence...well as the title says im gettin ready to jump in...but not as a 360 only owner now thats just stupid. PS360 is the way to go now with the Arcade price tag at 200 bux...thats cheaper then the Wii for gods sake! Anyway to the point then... Questions... #1. Only reason im "Jumping In" is for my fave gaming genre...JRPG's i go were my fave genre goes im not a console fanboy im a gamer. so any other games on the X360 i should check out besides JRPG's? #2.Will the Arcades 258MB Default Hard-Drive be enough for the JRPG's? #3. Will it work fine on an SD TV? #4. What type of External memory does it take? because the Limited Editon PS3's and most/some 80GB PS3's take Flash Cards SD slot Cards AND Memory Sticks. so what does the 360 use? _______ Now that thats done, i'd like to openly admit i may not be a console fanboy...but...i am an HD Fanboy so...sorry Wii dudes no offence, just wanted to get that out of the way aswell. in before anyone gets smart I still love the PS2 even though its last gen so dont bring that up lol! |
"JUMP IN"1) I guess the question is what other genres do you like? It's hard to reccomend games in genres you may, or may not, care about at all. There's the obvious non-FPS/TPS list of games like Viva Pinata, Dead Rising, Saints Row, Beautiful Katamari, and the like. But let us know what genres you like, and other system(s) you own. There are tons of great multi-plats and exclusives that you may like.
2) For JRPGs, absolutely. The arcade model is PERFECT for JRPGs.
3) Yes and no. I've played ever JRPG on an SDTV and an HDTV (my old computer monitor). The games are playable (unlike Dead Rising), but the text is small enough to be, at times, fusterating. Optimally, a HDTV will give you awesome preformance, as the text and maps will be much sharper. To tier JRPGs in terms of HDTV importance:
Needs HDTV:
Tales of Vesperia
Blue Dragon (not as much as ToV)
Certainly Helps:
Lost Odyssey
Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom
Doesn't need (as bad):
Eternal Sonata
Enchanted Arms
Culdcept Saga
My sugguestion: Buy the VGA cable for the X360, and use your closest available computer monitor. It gives you crystal-clear HDTV beauty on the cheap. I used an old early-2000 monitor (paid $80 for the refurb monitor in like 02), and it gets amazing resolution that helps a ton for ToV and BD. It's one of the best kept secrets of the X360: You can get superb HDTV resolution for sub-$40 in most every country. I've been using my monitor for well over a year, and you will be amazed by the enhancement(s) you get from your games from such a miniscule price.
4) The X360 supports, for game saves and critical data, the X360 memory cards and HDD. It also accepts USB drives, but they suffer from limited functionality versus the official MS devices.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
