Buying a console for the multiplats? That's like the definition of stupidShadowMoses900

So you don't play multiplats? Wow, you really are a pathetic fanboy. And exclusive-wise, yes...I enjoy Halo and Gears more than any PS3 exclusive I've played with the exception of Demon's Souls. I don't feel the need to be a dribbling idiot about it though.

I never said that. Did you try to frame me or something lol.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it was a glitch.

It was...apologies. I was quoting majormayor idiot/charlesdarwin55 idiot.

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

Hi, I came into some recent money lately and I've been debating on what to buy, so perhaps SW can help me out a bit. My roomate gave me a bunch of origional Xbox games like KOTOR, Morrowind, Halo ect....but I already have KOTOR and Morrowind on my PC, but if the 360 is BC with these then it's a plus in my book

As far as exclusives go I made a list of the titles I want/have over from my old 360 collection:

Witcher 2

Halo Reach

Halo 3 (already own)

Splinter Cell Conviction

Fable 2 (already own)

Fable 3 (mabey)

Gears (already own)

Gears 2 (already own)

Gears 3

Alan Wake

Mass Effect 1 (mabey)

And uhh....that's all I can really think of. Now I'm not going to pay for XBL, it's not worth it to me. So does that render Halo and Gears pointless? Without XBL are they even worth owning? On top of this I'm not sure what other 360 exclusives (counting console exclusives) are out there. I honestly can't even think of any.

If I don't get a 360 I will probaby just buy a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9 handgun I was looking at, I can get it modified so it can shoot most types of handgun ammo, and it works well for concealed carry, which I do sometimes. No I'm not crazy, it's for my protection.

Also what multiplats do you recommend? I'm serioulsy debating this. The 360 looks like it has some games I might like, and me and my friend could do system link with it.

Stevo already proved I am not a fanboy. In any case I don't understand how you make these logical leaps of faith. Shadowmoses listed a number of games he was interested in (including multiplats) and you were implying he did not play any multiplats. Well of course he does on his PS3 or PC. Just like me of course I play multiplats but to get a 360 at this point for the multiplats is yeah stupid, since by definition they are on systems I already own. If I'd buy a 360 it would be for Halo and nothing else.

It's probably the best time to get one. Most of the quality gems on the system have to be pretty damn cheap by now, and the hardware is about as secure as it's gonna get. Even if you don't have an interest in the upcoming exclusives, multiplats, you'll have a pretty extensive backlog to hold you over at reasonable prices.

[QUOTE="waltefmoney"]

Is it worth buying a cheap system that will offer you more games than its competitors, better performance? Is it worth breathing air?

waltefmoney

I don't know, that's what I'm trying to find out. I'm not sure what you mean by better performance though.

Better gaming performance. Come on Shadow, everyone can see that objectively the Xbox 360 is the best console this generation. It as:

  • The most retail games available
  • The most high scoring retail games available
  • The most downloadable games available
  • The most high scoring downloadable games available
  • Games run the best on it
  • It's the mostconvenient from a gamer's standpoint
  • The online service has the most features

    Obviously as a multimedia device the PS3 is the best, but in terms of a pure gaming machine the 360 is better.

I was not aware of many of those points, though I doubt some of them are true. Like the Wii has the most retail games available. Most Downloadable games is true, so is online service with most features, but that's a bit over exaggerated (cross game chat is the ONLY feature over PSN).

The other stuff I'm not so sure about.

I know that, it's just I'm trying to figure what those games are :P

See I have/can buy multplats on my PS3, so I'm trying to think of which ones I want that I don't have currently for 360. Mainly I am thinking about the BC with the old Xbox games I got and exclusives, I don't want to buy the 360 just for multiplats.

My main concern is I'm not going to get XBL, so I don't know if Halo and Gears ect...are worth owning without online. I'm looking for SP exclusives like Witcher 2 ect... Don't care if it's not real exclusive or not.

Question shadow? do you own a wii?

Try out Halo CE and Halo 2 on PC. I was going to get a 360 just for Halo since I love sci fi. But it turns out Halo sucks. Killzone is vastly superior in most ways

casharmy

Yep I have a Wii with about 15 games for it. Most of them are Nintendo 1st party ones and they are fun. I gave up with Zelda SS, I beat it but now can't beat it on Hero mode because gaining hearts is hard.

But IMO the Wii is good, it has great exclusive games that you don't want to miss out on. Like Brawl or New Super Mario Bros. It's also fully BC with Game Cube games too! So I can play Twilight Princess, Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, MGS Twin Snakes, RE4 ect....

I say it's worth getting.

I was not aware Halo was on PC. I might try that out.

I do agree Killzone is the better game though, I love it. But I don't think Halo sucks nesseccarily. But I was dissapointed with 3 (mainlty the SP) and ODST. Reach was pretty nice though. But ya Killzone is the better game no doubt.

Well I own Halo 3, used to own ODST but sold it soon after I got it becasue I was pissed, too short for me. But my friend and I will do system link parties like the good old days lol. We want to do it with Reach so we can make very biased one sided maps in our favor and just destroy the other team :P

Mostly it's because of BC with older Xbox games and trying to figure out if the 360 offeres enough exclusives for me to get, ones that arn't just MP focused. This is some money I actually have to spend, because I'm a college student and normally I'm broke as hell.

I think in your country you go to college for "free", not here in America. We have to take out loans and get financial aid.

My roomate gave me a bunch of origional Xbox games like KOTOR, Morrowind, Halo ect....but I already have KOTOR and Morrowind on my PC, but if the 360 is BC with these then it's a plus in my book

As far as exclusives go I made a list of the titles I want/have over from my old 360 collection:

Witcher 2

Halo Reach

Halo 3 (already own)

Splinter Cell Conviction

Fable 2 (already own)

Fable 3 (mabey)

Gears (already own)

Gears 2 (already own)

Gears 3

Alan Wake

Mass Effect 1 (mabey)

And uhh....that's all I can really think of. Now I'm not going to pay for XBL, it's not worth it to me. So does that render Halo and Gears pointless? Without XBL are they even worth owning? On top of this I'm not sure what other 360 exclusives (counting console exclusives) are out there. I honestly can't even think of any.

If I don't get a 360 I will probaby just buy a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9 handgun I was looking at, I can get it modified so it can shoot most types of handgun ammo, and it works well for concealed carry, which I do sometimes. No I'm not crazy, it's for my protection.

Also what multiplats do you recommend? I'm serioulsy debating this. The 360 looks like it has some games I might like, and me and my friend could do system link with it.

Crackdown is terrible, sorry I played them, they arn't that great IMO. Never heard of Chrome Hounds, Far Cry is dirt and I can play that on PC if I wanted to. Saints Row is fun, I have the second one on PS3. PGR isn't my thing, I like Mario Kart not sport racers.

People don't understand, PC gaming doesn't work like that. I guess you could "buy" a gaming PC, but that would only last you so long. See a PC alone doesn't mean it's better than consoles, it depends on how well maintained and upgraded your PC is.

You have GPU for mainly the graphics, you have CPU for perfomance ect...then you also have core processesors ect...there is more to it than just "buying a gaming PC". A lot of people on here assume that any PC will play the console version of a game better, but that's not always the case.

It depends on how well it's upgraded and maintained.

It's not worth getting mad at people over the internet.

But I did try to commit suicide on occasion which is why I had to go thereapy for a while, which took me FOREVER to get into because I had no health insurance. Obama care is actually the reason why I got help, without it I would probably be dead today.

Depression is from things in my past. But postive thinking works wonders. Happiness is a choice honestly.

Gears 3 I played on co-op with friends but I had no idea what was going on, and we were playing on the hardest setting which I was terrible at. So I didn't have the best time with it. But it did seem long.

None of my friends really play the SP anymore, they just play the MP. Though I will say that Gears has better campaigns than Halo and a lot of other games out there.

[QUOTE="Doctor-Mindjack"][QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

Hi, I came into some recent money lately and I've been debating on what to buy, so perhaps SW can help me out a bit. My roomate gave me a bunch of origional Xbox games like KOTOR, Morrowind, Halo ect....but I already have KOTOR and Morrowind on my PC, but if the 360 is BC with these then it's a plus in my book

As far as exclusives go I made a list of the titles I want/have over from my old 360 collection:

Witcher 2

Halo Reach

Halo 3 (already own)

Splinter Cell Conviction

Fable 2 (already own)

Fable 3 (mabey)

Gears (already own)

Gears 2 (already own)

Gears 3

Alan Wake

Mass Effect 1 (mabey)

And uhh....that's all I can really think of. Now I'm not going to pay for XBL, it's not worth it to me. So does that render Halo and Gears pointless? Without XBL are they even worth owning? On top of this I'm not sure what other 360 exclusives (counting console exclusives) are out there. I honestly can't even think of any.

If I don't get a 360 I will probaby just buy a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9 handgun I was looking at, I can get it modified so it can shoot most types of handgun ammo, and it works well for concealed carry, which I do sometimes. No I'm not crazy, it's for my protection.

Also what multiplats do you recommend? I'm serioulsy debating this. The 360 looks like it has some games I might like, and me and my friend could do system link with it.

ShadowMoses900

Are you being serious? Where's Crackdown 1 and 2? Chrome Hounds? Far Cry Predator? The FIrst Saints Row? PGR 3 and 4?

Crackdown is terrible, sorry I played them, they arn't that great IMO. Never heard of Chrome Hounds, Far Cry is dirt and I can play that on PC if I wanted to. Saints Row is fun, I have the second one on PS3. PGR isn't my thing, I like Mario Kart not sport racers.

Far Cry instincts predator is on 360 only. Get Chrome Hounds You already seem to liek Saints Row. What about Nintey Nine Nights? You like hack and slash?

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

You have GPU for mainly the graphics, you have CPU for perfomance ect...then you also have core processesors ect...there is more to it than just "buying a gaming PC". A lot of people on here assume that any PC will play the console version of a game better, but that's not always the case.

It depends on how well it's upgraded and maintained.

The way people talk on here suggest otherwise. They say "oh just get it on PC, it will be better" which isn't nesseccarily the case. A lot of people on here don't seem that informed and just assume that any PC will work. Which you and I both know that isn't always true.

I'm disappointed that I got my 360 in 2007 because at that point I thought it's going to get many good exclusives, and there aren't any. It was a mistake getting the 360. If I waited longer, I wouldn't decide to get one.

You don't have to spend the money, you know. You can put the money in the bank and save it which is probably the smartest thing to do. Think about your future, the money could come handy one day - such as buying your first car or something. It would be nice to know that you have the money in your bank, and it's there for when you need it for something essential.

If you like shooting for your hobby (not killing guys, obviously :P), you could get a handgun.

In overall, my answer to your question would be 'No'.

Hmm...never heard of Far Cry Instincts Predator, I do know that Far Cry 1 and 2 are on PC. I'll look at Chrome Hounds, never heard of Nintey Nine Nights, I'll look at that as well.

I acctually used to suffer from pretty bad depression. I think you went a bit overboard with that comment there.

ShadowMoses900

Oh come on now,no need to get mad over it...

I thought cows loved some bad black humor jokes,their lives already are very miserable,worshiping Sony all the time,etc,etc :P

It's not worth getting mad at people over the internet.

But I did try to commit suicide on occasion which is why I had to go thereapy for a while, which took me FOREVER to get into because I had no health insurance. Obama care is actually the reason why I got help, without it I would probably be dead today.

Depression is from things in my past. But postive thinking works wonders. Happiness is a choice honestly.

Ouch,that's nasty...

Sry for going overboard,wasn't my intention...

Seems dark jokes can be quite risky :P

I got my 360 just for Oblivion, well my parents did because I was a kid that time. Didn't get a PS3 until I became an adult and bought it on my own. But I want to checkout Witcher 2 more, I suppose I could upgrade my PC for it, but 360 has BC with some of older Xbox games I have and I could also do system link parties with it.

I already have an IRA (there is going to be NO social security when we get older) so I will be a millionare when I'm in my 40's. The consultant even told me that. But a million dollars probably won't be worth very much by then, but at least it's something :P

My roomate hates guns, so he doesn't feel comfortable with them. I have quite a few, but only two hand guns, this one would be a nice one to add. It has a good grip and I can modify the trigger from double action to single action (it's only double action on 1st shot, but single action is what I prefer entirely).

I shoot them for phsycial excercise, and I my great Uncle told me to always own a gun because when the Germans came for the Jews they banned the guns first so they could not defend themselves. He lost his much of his family in the holocaust, so it's still fresh in his mind. So I took the lesson to heart.

Hell ya! Twisted Metal is fun! Only downside is the online is a mess, but everything is great. I heard there is a 360 game like it but I don't know where it is, I haven't seen it in stores or anything.

Well I was in high school when the 360 came out, I think I was a sophmore or something. I graduated in 2008, got my PS3 in 2009.

Now I can't help you too much with kart racers unless you want kinect joy ride. :) UInless you like futuristic kart racers? Also if you like Saints row 2, as mentioned you will LIKE Saoints row, and also there's another good GTA alternative called THE OUTFIT you should look into. Any genres I have not covered yet?

No one is that stupid. Anyone with half a brain knows they would need a decent PC in order to run newer PC games.

Sorry I havent read all the posts but to be honest its never too late to get any console. I am a console and PC gamer and have only just bought a Game Cube. Im loving it! (yeah I know Wii's play GC games but I dont want one).

I have played a lot of those games you listed and they are very good. Worth a purchase for sure.

If you can find it cheap.
