The perfect Xbox 360 game

what is your idea of a perfect Xbox 360 game?

halo 3 with more stuff (more maps, weapons, armor, vehicles, gametypes, and longer/better campaign)

(flame shield on!)

1. A single player campaign that is not too short I felt wanting more or too long I wanted it to be over soon.

2. Goods story, controls, voice acting, graphics, and music.

3. Addicting multiplayer that also has split screen for friends to join in.

• QUALITY singleplayer. I cannot stress this enough!
• No cheap A.I. Cheap A.I. was used in the NES days because the resources weren't there to give a realistic challenge either way you looked at it. Considering that the Xbox 360 is already about four or five generations ahead in technology from the 8-bit console, I think it's fair to assume that we have the horsepower to get some properly behaving A.I. going.
• I appreciate pushing the technology envelope as much as the next guy, but not if it's going to lead to inconsistent framerates. I would gladly put up with somewhat less visual detail (e.g. 4xAA instead of 16xAA like they try to do :P) if it means the game will stay fluid when it counts.
• DLC that adds meaningful content to the SP, I have no problem getting (e.g. the Mass Effect expansion). Paying for an extra uniform in Madden = insta-fail.
• Achievements that should be realistically possible to get, and at the same time, how about actually rewarding the player in-game for getting them? ME did this beautifully, with additional bonuses to your playability that made replays so much easier to handle. The anti-thesis to this statement? That stupid katana suit in Halo 3... and speaking of which... what, no bonus armor for the Elites too? Lame. :|
• failing the above... if you MUST have achievements that can only beget online, could we please make them realistically possible to achieve? I don't think anybody's going to be able to get that "play when 1000+ are online playing" achievement in NBA Live 07 is going to be possible anymore... or even getting the Seriously achievement for Gears. And as lucky as I got to be able to get that two-in-one spartan laser achievement, I should have played the lotto with odds like that! :shock: :evil:
• Speaking of multiplayer, might as well try and support all the different ways that people could play "multi" player games. Split Screen, system link, on live, etc.
• For online, would it kill some people to actually look at making their netcode realistic? Halo 3 was a nightmare to play online because the second any single player's meter dropped from full green, the lag would be worse than what I'd seen playing Q3A on my old Gateway with a 56k. :evil: I certainly wouldn't be feeling like XBL was worth the subscription if I'm getting worse lag than I was on dialup.
• How about try to be original? No More Heroes is one game that could have been on the 360, but its central focus on swordplay led Suda51 to choose the Wii instead. And that game was **** brilliant. How about a game that redefines what we can expect from gaming altogether, or is willing to be an argument for gaming as an art form?

One that allows me to play all day and yet earns me a comfortable weekly wage! :lol:

Back in reality I would love to see Elite (yes the very old PC game) come to the Xbox!

MArvel Ultimate Alliance but with EVERY SINGLE (Yes, every one) character from the Marvel universe, with a huge campaign spanning many different realms and alternate universes in a bid to save the megaverse. And better graphics, and 1000 achievements each worth 1 point each.diablobasher

YEAH WHERE WAS THE PUNISHER :|

simple. GTA 4fdsfgs

yeah, pretty much sums it up for me. It is supposed to have an amazing story from all the reviews I've read and it has some of the largest variety in the multiplayer experience.

If Mass Effect and Oblivion mated - their off spring would be my ideal game. Keeping my fingers crossed for Fallout 3 - which won't be quite the epic space saga that ME is but still Oblivion SciFi.DataDream

Really? I that ME was alittle overhyped, from what I've read and seen on Fallout3 it is turning out to be the image of my perfect RPG. Sort of like a Oblivion with a mix of Shadow of Chernoblye

I love Mass Effect - though there are some serious issues no doubt. That's what I mean though - is Oblivion gameplay but I think the story arc with the huge space saga is probably one of if not my favorite story of any game to date. The gameplay in that game is where the issues are - so I'm just saying that a space saga which has you traveling to different planets but based on the Oblivion style game engine would be my ideal. I do love ME and I love Oblivion.

Fallout 3 looks phenomenal! :)

If you were able to travel to different planets and meet different alien races it would probably be my ideal. That being said...

Fallout 3 is not just a revival of the series but the revival of a whole genre. I have always loved the Cyber Punk theme which has died off the last few years. So I think Fallout 3 may wet people appetite enough to see some others come back into the realm of possibility. Potential games like the "real" Shadowrun game everyone wants based on the P&P RPG. Or an open world Matrix RPG. Or an open world Oblivion style Blade Runner RPG (which I'm surprised has never happened).

Anyway I have very high hopes for Fallout 3 - and hope it breathes new life into the Cyber Punk genre.

not released yet...you don't know how it will turn out

Pokemon+Gears of War!!!

Or Halo with a lot more maps, weapons, being able to be brutes, hunters, and grunts in online, and no flood in the campaign which needs to be three times longer

That Bladerunner idea is actually genius. That was what i love about ME, the blade runner feel, from the music to the story and action.FLzthvikings87

I've been wondering for many years why no-one has capitalized on that franchise. Previously while I would have welcomed the concept - the game itself may not have lived up to the imagery and standards set by the movie - but now, with this generation (or the next) we could have that amazing world to explore. If someone like Bethseda did it - it would be historical. :)

longer single player modes.

A unique mix of weapons (unlike the generic stuff battle rifle, assault rifle, sniper rifle)

a first person cover system

a game that actually requires *skill* to be good at
