Forums - Microsoft - Im Thinking of Buying a 360

Dude, You should only get 1 console from every generation.

That makes very little sense....  I had all three consoles (four if you count the Dreamcast) last generation and I'm planning on getting all 3 this gen.  Why not get get all 3?  They all have good exclusives.



Kingdom Hearts 3 Bet: If Kingdom Hearts 3 becomes a multiplaform title/is not Wii exclusive then I will be banished from this land for 1 week and sing my praises to those who have proved themselves to be more intelligent than I.http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/RDBRaptor/rdbraptor_sig16.jpg%5B/IMG%5D">

I know SO4 is coming to the 360 but how good is LO and Blue Dragon? Should I just stick to the PS3 or would investing in a 360 a good idea? Also Im not that big on Paying for Online as I think it should be free

 

I've played both.

Blue Dragon has this awesome class system (everything is configurable so you can custom-tailor all your characters) but it's moot because the game is piss easy. Thank god there's FREE DLC with harder modes. If you get Blue Dragon, download the hard difficulty options and give it a spin on a higher difficulty. The story is for the most part predictably cliched but it does pick up steam and the ending is awesome, including some of the awesomenest dungeon design ever seen. Also, Torippo rules (remember to find him in the ending sequence, he's sorta hidden tho but carries a big surprise for you).

Lost Odyssey gameplay isn't as interesting as Blue Dragon's, imho. There are no field interaction with monsters (classic no monster anywhere with random battles popping out of nowhere) and while at the end you can custom-tailer some characters, the process is somewhat annoying. The characters are better than BD but the story pulls off a reverse: starts out nice, the early theme of recovering Kaim's lost family is very moving. Towards the end however it shifts to standard FF fare with the villain about to sap the energy from the world or some similar BS.

Both are definitely flawed (so expect no masterpieces) but still are good games.

Oh, and for those who care, BD's achievements are a bitch.





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

Yesterday, I went to the shopping, saw the Elite bundle with Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indiana Jones at 299 euros and the LBP-PS3 Bundle at 399 euros.
If the Elite Bundle was with Fifa09&another great game or the LBP-PS3 was at 299, I could buy it but still prefer waiting.

RPG, Action type gamer you say? I think you should hold off your money and get Resident Evil 5 & White Night Chronicles, as they will keep you occupied.

 

 

Oh Don't worry I have a list of games for the year and enough money put aside to buy them and WKC and RE5 are both on that list (PS3 of course free Online FTW)
 

As I said earlier a 360 wouldnt get much play beyond the exclusives that I know arent coming to the PS3



If you have cash burning a hole in your pocket then do it. If you don't play that much it is probably not worth it, the PS3 has enough to tide you over. I got my Xbox because I play a ridiculous amount, and I don't regret doing it, but if you do give into the dark side of the force, then you may end up missing out on some great PS3 games as well, so it all depends on how much you play

What? I thought it was clear that I still plan on buying every good exclusive and multiplat games on the PS3?

What I mean is that you might miss out on some of the PS3 exclusives because you got some of the Xbox exclusives instead

If you have enough time to play them all, then the more consoles the merrier! It is just that I ended up missing out on Resistance 2 because of Gears (and SCEE not releasing it until 3 weeks later) and I probably would have managed to spend more time on games like LBP (I will get back to it) if I hadn't been busy on my Xbox (achievements are so addictive)



I have a 360 and love it, but keep in mind I hate RPG's for the most part. I have it for the FPS's that are all over the place.

For RPG's Fable 2 is pretty good, Fallout 3 is amazing, and Oblivion is old but good.
