katpower Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So, it's time for a new game on the Xbox 360 - I'm not a huge gamer, but have played assorted PoPs, Fable 2 and 3, Left for Dead and a bit of Halo and Star Wars.What's a good game for me?I prefer standalones to online - online intimidates me...

azsf Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 PoPs?i always enjoy playing skating games, they're usually a bit more freeform 'just do your thing' style playing that i find very relaxing and fun. 'skate' and its sequels are probably the best options. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] AZSF - lvl 4 assassin STR - 9 | DEX - 12 | STA - 10.5 | CON - 7 | WIS - 8.5 | CHA - 1 Link to comment

Flex Luthor Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I absolutely loved Dark Souls. Difficult game but a ton of fun. Has some online capability but definitely not needed. "I like you just the way you are" - Mr. Rogers In Br0din's name we gain. Link to comment

SusieBlu Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I played American Mcgee's Alice: Madness Returns and really enjoyed it. Try everything once. If it kills you don't do it again.Paleo- So Easy A Caveman Can Do It Link to comment
Red1263 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Dead Rising is a Good stand alone game, If you liked Halo, you can try, Call of Duty or Medal of Honor, which isn't so bad when you're playing online. If you're into action, Devil May Cry 4 is interesting or Lost Planet. That's all I got so far. newer games are coming out, check out Dishonored!

blindasutsutsu Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 There is a cheap downloadable game on 360 right now called Dust the Elaysian Tale (probably misspelled that) that is a side scroller hack and slash with some rpg ness in there that is AWESOME!! great story line too. Best part is its like 10 bucks. Reach your limits and then surpass them.BlindasutsutsuMy Current Challenge:Class: RangerRace: HumanSTR:13.5 DEX:8.5 STA: 10.5 CON:6 WIS:5 CHA:6.5 Link to comment
illuminatus Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Skyrim is good purchase and if you like the fantasy thing it will literally give you 100+ hours of play. Another good one is Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning and Sleeping Dogs. Kingdom of Amalur was written by RA Salvatore, Art Design was by Todd Macfarlane and is an interesting take on Irish Mythology.Sleeping Dogs is the unofficial Sequel to True Crime LA and True Crime New York. You play an undercover cop infiltrating a Triad Organization. Heavy focus on third person martial arts action that makes you feel like Bruce Lee [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Level 1 Human RangerSTR: 2|DEX: 2|STA: 2|CON: 3|WIS: 4|CHA: 2|It's a TRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serendipity Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Assassin's Creed series. Dark Sector and Metro 2033 are both underrated games that I find to be really entertaining. And Fallout 3/Skyrim, if you're into open-world RPGs. Link to comment
azsf Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Skyrim is good purchase and if you like the fantasy thing it will literally give you 100+ hours of play. Skyrim, if you're into open-world RPGs.Only if you're into a very, very specific style of RPG would i recommend skyrim. I finally got around to picking it up myself a few weeks back, and I've grown bored of it around 10hours in or so. It's very slow, character progression feels stunted, so many of the skills aren't explained or even hinted at. the combat becomes stale pretty quickly, as do load times as you'll be fast travelling around the map a lot. it is an impressive world they've built, but for the most part it's filled with pointless crap. oh and be prepared to reroll your character after about 3-4 hours when you realise you spent your first 10 levels on useless shite.

chasely Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'll +1 the Assassin's Creed series. Probably my favorite game series. Who doesn't want to "explore" the Italian Renaissance (AC II, Brotherhood, and Revelations).Portal 2 is amazing as well. Link to comment
katpower Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm thinking Portal 2 sounds a winner...I've watched my partner play Assassin's Creed, and while it's pretty and all, it doesn't really appeal. In large part because the jumping off high things freaks me out!Might try Alice as well.Thanks guys!

I've played Morrowind (which was okay) and Oblivion (which I loved), but I've seen people play Skyrim and it doesn't appeal to me either, but I still figured it'd be worth mentioning when talking about RPGs. Fallout 3 is incredible though! Ash nazg durbatulûkÎα είσαι καλÏτεÏος άνθÏωπος από τον πατÎÏα σου▲STR 7 | DEX 11 | STA 6 | CON 6 | WIS 9 | CHA 5â–² Link to comment
YoDoc Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Borderlands. It's a Bethesda game, and sort of almost similar to fallout, but with more shooting stuff. Link to comment
Raikas Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Dragons Dogma.Fun game, but it might be worth noting that the save function is very limited (as in single-slot) - such a weird thing to see in an rpg in 2012. Fallout 3 is incredible though!And while we're talking Fallout, I'd recommend Fallout: New Vegas even more - open world but with proper character development as well. Great game now that all the bugs have been patched. Wood Elf Assassin -- Level 10 --STR 26 | DEX 13 | STA 19 | CON 7 | WIS 14 | CHA 14 Link to comment
Breakfast Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I absolutely loved Dark Souls. Difficult game but a ton of fun. Has some online capability but definitely not needed.Same here. I would definitely recommend Dark Souls. It's a high quality action RPG that not many people know about. I love that the game is very challenging and punishing. To level up, buy items, and upgrade weapons, you use souls by killing enemies and bosses, but you lose all your souls if you die and die again without recovering your souls from where you last died.Minecraft is great game console players like myself might not have known about before it became an XBOX arcade game.
