The Old XBOX Megathread

[Regia]

I'm looking forward to getting Battleblock. I'm now also glad I didn't buy it on Steam because I'm way more likely to play it on 360.

BBT is one of those games I would buy on multiple systems just so I could play alongside friends. The dialogue alone has been far more entertaining than most movies I've spent $14.99 on.

Warning: Chapter Six is where things hit the wall.

As in you.

You will hit the wall mentally.

And physically.

Hard.

Anyone played Gotham City Imposters yet?

Anyone played Gotham City Imposters yet?

I played it when it was free on PSN. Neat little FPS, would be fun in a group setting. Had zero interest in playing without friends, though.

[Regia]

Yeah I've just played a couple of games and it seems like the type of thing that'd be good for us lot to have a blast on, sine it would involve a lot of manic running around, blaming people, and swearing >_>.

Played some Payday 2 yesterday with a friend and we suck. Failed the Jewelry Store mission probably five times due to dying (we did manage to get one bag in the van, which was confusing because we had grabbed all the jewelry and I assume we would have had two bags total and needed six). Failed the bank heist a couple times, and finally managed to complete the mall one. I ended up switching from the Ghost tree to the Technician tree. I finally understand how the ECM Jammer works, but I think that tree is my least favorite of the four. The other three seem a lot more useful with later skills, at least to me.

I got payday 2 for Christmas, played it a bit. Was quite fun, but not having any friends that played it kind of limited me.

It actually isn't too bad playing with random people, though it really depends who you get paired with. I was like 2 or 3 and got paired with level 20 somethings, but they weren't using game chat so for all I know they could have been shitting on me .

Okay, I fancy getting a new game and I have some Gamepoints on my card, so do I pick up Max Payne 3, Far Cry 3, Risen 2 or Spec Ops: The Line?

[thatshortguy]

Far Cry 3 by a country mile, though I did enjoy Spec Ops' mechanics.

[Regia]

My main two to decide between were Far Cry 3 and Max Payne 3.

[thatblindgeye]

Far Cry 3 was the first Far Cry game I played and it was pretty damn fun. Has me excited for Far Cry 4 even though I won't be able to get it.

[Regia]

I decided to go with Far Cry 3, the other games are still cheap enough that I won't need to break the bank if I want to pick up the others.

[EWB's Best Poster.]

100% back spec ops.

[Avenged Probably]

Yeah it's fairly short but the story is one of the best I've ever played. One of the most underrated games this gen.

[IDOL]

I don't really follow any sports/leagues besides NFL and UFC, but I like playing games on the XBox like Soccer, Baseball and Hockey.

Picked up MLB 2K8 and 2K9 for $6 bucks, NCAA Football 10 for $4, NHL 2K9 for $4 and FIFA 10 for $9

Since I don't follow them, and don't give a shit about current rosters the age of the games didn't really bother me. I've been having a blast the last three days. FIFA and MLB 2K9 have been great.

[apsham]

I wish I could be like that.

I don't care about pretty much any of the leagues of the sports games I play, but if I don't have the latest rosters/copy I go mad.

Battleblock Theater is now free, just in case anybody has forgotten.

Everybody who doesn't have it: GET THIS GAME!

I've got it downloaded, might give it a jam when I get home from work tonight.
