I'm so psyched for it.. I pre-ordered in like… March. And now it's only 20 days away.
So right now I'm doing some hardcore coding for S4D until they show 45 minutes of never before
seen publicized gameplay at 1:05 EST on Spike (which I only get black and white video of, no audio :P). The way this hardcore coding works is I have a list of tasks that totally need to be done. And I have a timer that is just begging to beep annoyingly at me. So I give myself 30 minutes to run through each task as quick as possible.
I mean, I can still iterate from there, but so far my initial arbitrary magic numbers have been working out great! I've got… 1 task done! And now I'm posting here probably to procrastinate in a situation where I've already tried to keep out procrastination :)
I'm just mentioned it because he said he wanted an excuse to dust off his 360. Why not play them on a better platform? I'm still unsure why he got a 360 in the first place though…
I also hope he upgraded from the 5450 he had last time I checked.I got a 360 because it was extremely cheap, and I was probably the only person in the world who didn't have one. That and there were a few titles I wanted to play, which I have since. I've been a Wii owner for years, and we all know how that went to shit (though you can't deny it was doing well in its early years–when I bought it).
Yes, I upgraded that worthless video card. Running right now with something that I haven't been able to slow down yet. And for around $200. Not too bad I guess.And I'm not against multiplayer at all. Most of my favorite games are multiplayer (League of Legends is one I play quite frequently), but it's people being overcompetitive that turns me off of them. Tried Halo Reach multiplayer for a while. Oh my god, there are so many dumbass kids on that game. The co-op element was fun. And that's what I liked. Driving people around while they had the flag was a blast. But Christ, if most of the XBL network is full of children, I don't want to do anything online with the 360 anymore.What was it? 560 ti? I can't see getting a 6950 for that cheap. And $200 for a 6870/5850/460 seems too much. Unless $200 just means $200-$299.
$200 means $200 max. I paid like five dollars over. Did a lot of research beforehand so I'm pretty confident in my purchase.
And excuse me, Rob, for not being anywhere near acquainted with XBL until three months ago. Most of my games are on the PC. But now that I think of it, I can't come up with any games I thoroughly enjoy that support full-on multiplayer. Being a casual gamer, I'm not against simulations. Call me a pansy gamer, but Sims, Creatures, Harvest Moon, and Rune Factory are all right up my alley when I just want to relax. And that's usually what I want to do. None of this adrenaline rush shit, no sir.Why would that make you a pansy? Hell, one of my favorite games is a simulation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_Universalis_III
Although that depends if "country simulator" counts as a simulator and not just grand-strategy. Although it does a lot better job at simulating the world than most combat-oriented "strategy" games.Although it's not exactly relaxing when your country erupts into religious uprisings during the reformation right before France decides to shove its massive cock down your throat. Then all your colonies get blockaded by pirates and then your economy goes down the shitter and you rack up massive inflation before going bankrupt, etc, etc… but at least you can pause!It makes you a man.
Actually, I just realized. One of my favorite games to play to relax is Touhou. It's the manliest of games while still being about little girls shooting lasers at each other. Yeahhhh, fukkit, I don't need 360 games anymore.At least yours shoot lasers. All mine do is have tea-time :|
I don't know how the fuck you can play Touhou to relax though.So I was just reading through this conversation here. I got up and walked into the room where the Xbox is, and skimmed over the games that were on the shelf. Wow, are these games seriously the reason I bought an Xbox? All of the games I actually want to play are either old, freeware or PC multiplayer.
I think my favourite multiplayer games are ones that can be played with friends, and have expansive possibilities and outcomes, preferably humourous; like Super Smash Bros or Team Fortress. I think multiplayer games can be tiresome in general, because you are competing against other players, and they're essentially a test of skill; which player is better? I.E., which player invests more time into their game? I like how you can still enjoy the game if you're not winning because of entertaining mechanics. For example, the vehicles in Halo (3, specifically), or the aesthetic and satisfying voice acting in Team Fortress.Skyrim is THE game I'm looking forward to this year.
