I'm putting a self-imposed crimp on my game buying; I'm going to get a new debit card which doesn't work with any of my online store accounts so I'm not tempted to add to my already high-quality collection. I need to start saving up money to move out next summer, and besides, I have almost everything I want. So I'm just going to buy one more game. This is my collection right now:

Dai Senryaku VII *
Drake of the 99 Dragons (*shudder*)
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Fable
Forza Motorsport
Gladius (on the way)
Halo *
Halo 2 *
Jade Empire
Moto GP 2
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
Otogi 2
Outrun 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Phantom Dust
Project Gotham Racing 2
Psi-Ops *
Psychonauts
Rallisport Challenge
Shenmue II
Splinter Cell: Pandora's Tomorrow *
Star Wars Battlefront *
Star Wars KOTOR
Still Life

* never played it, not interested in these genres

Price is no object - after all, this is the last game I'm going to buy for this system, and my Amazon/Ebay activities have actually enabled me to break even this gen, strangely enough.

Finally, there were a couple of games that I rented and decided I didn't want:

Advent Rising
Ninja Gaiden
Rallisport Challenge 2
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Simpsons Hit & Run
TOCA 2

So what's left that I need to try?

 

[Gregory]

Rallisport Challenge 2

 

[Ghost]

Metal Arms.


Thread closed.

 

[Redbeard]

Kingdom Under Fire

Alternately, wait for the sequel in September (I think).

Also, Indigo Prophecy should be something worth playing, due around the same time.

 

[Jive Turkey]

You've got Drake on there so it's fair game in my book. Buy that.

 

[Sinatar]

Metal Arms.


Thread closed.

Agreed, but its bloody hard to find.

 

[Tarazet]

Metal Arms? Amazon has it for $18. But 'bot games put me to sleep, no matter how good they supposedly are.

Kingdom Under Fire

RTS. :/ I should have mentioned that I'm heavily fantasy oriented. I don't like gritty, realistic games so much.

 

[op_ivy]

stubbs the zombie. you'll have to wait for it to release though

 

[bill0527]

nevermind, misread the thread

 

[Tarazet]

I should have listed RC2 as a game I rented and decided I didn't want. I got RC1 instead for a reason.

Why do you own these games then?

 

[Tarazet]

Why do you own these games then?

Because I have a younger brother.

 

[krypt0nian]

Metal Arms.


Thread closed.

Agreed. Not just a bot game. Humorous and cool level designs.

 

[Solid]

Prince of Persia SoT or Riddick. they're dirt cheap now too. you cant go wrong.

 

[op_ivy]

i really didnt like metal arms... couldnt get ino it, and i've tried several times.

 

[Juice]

Anyone else in the "I find Metal Arms interesting, but it's overrated by the hardcore simply because it was ignored by the mainstream" camp?

Other examples this gen: Beyond Good & Evil
Analogous: Indy music snobs (another club I subscribe to)

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Get KOTOR. It's great.

I agree with Solid on the Prince of Persia: SoT comment as well.

 

[Redbeard]

Metal Arms is a lot like Halo, just with the camera pulled back. If you're not into Halo 2 or shooters in general I wouldn't bother with MA.

 

[Barnimal]

i'm in the same position. i've already decided my last game will be wreckless 2. started with wreckless and i'll finish with wreckless.

 

[Tarazet]

Get KOTOR. It's great.

I agree with Solid on the Prince of Persia: SoT comment as well.

I have KOTOR. PoP I played on the PS2 and wasn't too jazzed with...

It looks like BG&E is winning this thread so far.

 

[Ronabo]

If price is no object get Steel Battalion.

That would make great final game to finish up your collection.

 

[Tarazet]

That's not what I meant. I'm not about to drop $250 on a game I might not even like.

 

[Barnimal]

if you want something that will change the way you see gaming, get shenmue 2. its not jus a game...its an experience. BG&e is good but its broken IMO and gets more praise than it deserves.

 

[Stinkles]

i'm in the same position. i've already decided my last game will be wreckless 2. started with wreckless and i'll finish with wreckless.

Great Justice.

Oh crap. I should have read your post better. LOL!

Personally, I didn't like BG&E.

What about Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory?

 

[crunker99]

Ghos Recon 2 Summit Strike baby

 

[johnjohnson]

I'd say get one of the following:

Jade Empire
Star Wars KOTOR 2
Steel Battalion (you said price was no matter )
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Beyond Good & Evil

Or if you like adventures and aren't afraid of new and innovative control schemas get Galleon!

 

[jedimike]

i'm in the same position. i've already decided my last game will be wreckless 2. started with wreckless and i'll finish with wreckless.

Actually, that's a damn good idea. I've also been looking for one last game. I spent a lot of hours on Wreckless. It was a great game... Wreckless 2 it is.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I'd say get one of the following:

Star Wars KOTOR 2

Just say no to KOTOR 2.

 

[Barnimal]

yah i'm about to call my import shop and see about the game and a used JP xbox. i was quoted $130 to have my current box modded for imports. screw that. cheaper to just get a used JP box.

 

[Zaphod]

I don't know if it would be the last game I'd buy for the x-box but for less than 5 bucks Jet Set Radio is fun.

 

[op_ivy]

yeah, jet set radio is dirt cheap, and definitely a classic. nab that for sure, regardless.


and i'll second BG&E. great great game, though way to short

 

[Musashi Wins!]

media center, neogeo and mame say think twice.

import metal wolf chaos too, good fun.

 

[Barnimal]

my laptop with video out says otherwise.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Jet Set Radio Future, easily.

 

[Sinatar]

RTS. :/ I should have mentioned that I'm heavily fantasy oriented. I don't like gritty, realistic games so much.

It is a fantasy game, Orcs, dark elves, vampires, monsters. There is absolute nothing gritty or realistic about kingdom under fire.

 

[op_ivy]

head to xbox-scene and find a local modder. that is really high for just a mod chip.

 

[tahrikmili]

You need:

 

[Barnimal]

You need:

no you dont. i bought that last week and took it back saying it doesnt work :lol no different that the 15 other console versions of SF2 out on home consoles. better off getting fighting evolution.

 

[Solid]

riddick! more riddick!

 

[op_ivy]

oh, and richard burns is coming out soon, get that

 

[Barnimal]

riddick! more riddick!

definately riddick. best game i've played on xbox bar none.

BTW thanks for the suggestion op. i think i'll just go the used JXB route with 360 coming out. i had my ps2 chipped for imports and now i cant exactly just trade it in somewhere without feeling like i'm throwing money away.

 

[Tarazet]

After watching the video reviews for BG&E, Kingdom Under Fire and Riddick, I've crossed them off my short list... SF Anniversary might just be the ticket, since I haven't played anything in the series since Champion Edition on the Genesis. :lol Maybe I'll buy a nice healthy demo disc with a lot of games on it and decide afterwards.

 

[LakeEarth]

no you dont. i bought that last week and took it back saying it doesnt work :lol no different that the 15 other console versions of SF2 out on home consoles. better off getting fighting evolution.

Its a disk with Street Fighter 3rd Strike and a version of Street Fighter 2 in it, both of which you can go online and play against actual people (since most people don't have friends/have arcades to find suitable competition). What did you expect?

BTW, Fighting Evolution is trash.

 

[fennec fox]

Dude, you're sonarrat, I just know you're gonna love this as much as I do

not when theres barely ever 2 people on live playing. i had the game a week before taking it back. my reasoning is that i already on the DC and saturn version fo it was kinda redundant. evolution isnt bad at all.

 

[Satter]

You DIDN'T want Rallisport Challenge 2? :O

Turn in your xbox! >:|

 

[Truelize]

Prince of Persia SoT or Riddick. they're dirt cheap now too. you cant go wrong.

I agree. I would go with PoP first though. It has better replayability.

It's true that there's only a few people playing at any time, but thing its not that popular of a game and most of the elitist SF players can't stand the lag (and scrubs using 'lag tactics' wayy too much) but there are still fun to be had. If you just want a fight and don't mind who you're facing, it's not that bad. It's better than nothing (which when it comes to competition in my area, there is nothing).

 

[COCKLES]

BG&E - reaffirms everywhen we love about gaming.
