I know, I suck.

But is there anything out recently for either of the last 3 systems that's good? I just beat God Of War 2....is rocked of course. I guess I'll get Madden 08....but any ideas to tide me over till then?

I think some good games are about to roll on xbox 360. I am hopeful. Not any next gen type games. But some good to great games no less. And some arcade games are finally looking good too. I am looking forward to the next month or so. But even I must admit, this year has sucked for the most part. Nothing too exciting has come out for a while. But even Kingdom Under Fire has some potential this year. Well see.

I will likely buy

Bioshock
Tiger
Blue Dragon
Overlord
Madden
NCAA

That is more than I bought in the last year.

Are the big games that'll be out for 360 soon. Check the trailers and see if they interest you.

He doesn't have a next gen system and asking about the 3 recent gen (PS2, X-Box, Gamecube) if any games are coming out.

I don't know anything coming out for PS2, but of the 3 listed that would be the only one that there will be new games made. XBOX stopped when the 360 came out, same with Gamecube.

just about all of those games are comming out for the 360... so not really, and the 360 has mass effect and halo3, mass effect could possibly be better than halo3... but it doesnt have any multiplayer

not hard to be better than Halo.

You do realize Halo is probably a top 20 game of all time. And maybe the only xbox game to crack some top 10.

you do realize the only reason halo is as heralded as it is is for the multiplayer, right? the game itself is no different than any other FPS, and for some reason people are in love with the multiplayer.

Gunny hates Halo because it's 360's big title. It's an unexplainable grudge.
Anyway, I just glanced and thought he was asking for games on the next gen systems since he didn't have one yet and was trying to make a decision.
Recent gen, eh. God of War is about all you've got.

No I pretty much have held that opinion long before 360 was announced (ask Puck). I like Halo as a game, but it is way over-rated.

I love Halo....and I've never played the multiplayer. I got it from very high reviews, high reviews praising the gameplay, storyline, graphics, etc. All of which are top notch imo, and not matched by really any FPS I've played, except maybe Half Life 2.

ALL 3 will be in my 360 at some point this year
oh and this little game called Halo 3 wll be out in September
I'm a big fan of Burnout and 5's coming
now, if only someone would get us a KotoR 3 .......


but I'm guessing Bobo that you mean to ask what current gen games to play til you get a new system

I just bought
Bully (ps2)
Burnout Dominator (new- ps2)
Beyond Good and Evil (GC - supposedly awesome game and uber-rare)

and for current gen just got
Resistance (ps3)
Saint's Row )360)

and working on auctions for
MotorStorm

for the last month I've been replaying Knights/OldRepublic I

and if you never played Half-Life 2 (xbox/pc) you should
or Eternal Darkness (GC) or Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC)

Hmm. If the multiplayer is supposedly the best ever. How does it suck again?
Your comment was dumb. It's like saying "You know, that Michael Jordan's hype only came due to how he plays basketball, right?"
I'm sure the Jackass game you're "so getting" will blow Halo out of the water.

Gunny
06-27-2007, 05:42 PM

because it is one aspect of the game.

the story is linear and basic, Halo 2 ending sucked (was it even an ending?), gameplay is just a generic FPS.

And Gunny, again, who needs a story when you've got the best muliplayer ever? That's as dumb as wanting a build-up story in any other hobby you're interested in.

I still wonder how you manage to cope with the demands of life when you, not only have to think for yourself, but also have to tell everyone what they actually meant because somehow you know better. :rolleyes:

One aspect doesn't make a game great. Great games are a whole, not bits and pieces.

Halo 1 didn't have a pathetic ending and that set up Halo 2.

Same can be said for most sequels.

It was pathetic, it wasn't even an ending. So enjoy the greatness of an incomplete game.

So if God of War has no multiplayer and is only good for it's campaign? Think quick.

invision god of war as a multiplayer; two people just hitting square as fast as they could.....what's the point? what's the point of having multiplayer if it's a peice of ****.

The Gloat

Doesn't matter. Games are usually good in one category or the next. They're either great multiplayers with decent campaigns or great campaigns with decent/no multiplayer. Multiplayer games get played FAR MORE than campaign games though, as they almost never get old. So to fault a game for being the best at the most entertaining form of gameplay is sort of silly, isn't it?

Gunny
06-28-2007, 05:44 PM
and except for Halo, Gears and hmm...not sure what else. What has a multiplayer campaign that is still played today?

campaign, storyline, game play. That's three off the top of my head. No multiplayer is probably the same thing. That's four.

Again, don't be simple.

Call of Duty 2? Guarantee you don't have any campaigns that last beyond the 2nd time through. Nomatter what, replay value is always better in a multiplayer.
Storyline/campaign are one in the same. Gameplay is a given, you're just reaching now.
