Not too long ago I had made a thread asking your opinion whether it was time to get the 360. Many of u asked to wait till the good games came. But I had some money sitting and bought it last week. Frankly I am already bored. I tried pretty much every game that is there right now and except for TableTennis which I found mildly amusing, none of the games felt worth playing. I played Saints Row for 3 days straight and now I am tired off it, its novelty has worn off. Dead Rising was a flop from get-go. Campy Zombie themes is not my idea of fun. PGR3 felt like PGR2 redux.

Truth is the maximum fun I had was opening it up and flashing the damn firmware and to see a backup running on it!!!

I also think, playing on a 19" LCD doesnt do justice to this system, not to mention I absolutely hate the new gamepad, I always have difficulty using the LB/RB buttons.

So is a modded 360 with a Samsung drive worth anything in the market? I still have 20 days to return the box, but I will have to open it up again and reflash to original firmware, and I seriously dont know if they will check to see if the warranty is broken. Damn I should have listened to you guys!!!! Mad

Well you don't like the gamepad, many do! Thats your Prob yes ^^
And the games....Gears of War and Halo 3 and Call of Duty 3 and GTA 4 e.g. are coming! Just wait for them or sell your Box ^^

And you dont like any games expect Tennis? Then your defenetly not the right Player ^^ Keep playing PC games....

But I like many games on pc, but I only play a very few games till the end....thats nothing new to me ^^

And I fucking also thing a Xbox 360 is more fun if you play from your couch on a HDTV TV ^^
That and some special games were my reasons to buy one ^^ Coming this week, I hope...and then I will have fun flashing it Smile

Let me guess. You have played games all your life. You read about games daily, and you have filled your HD with dowloads. You seldom buy games, becaus you think 99% of them ain't worth it.

Welcome to the club. It isn't the X360, it's you getting tired of games. You seek the funfactor games once had, and have a hard time finding it.

My tip: just keep reading about them Smile

Thats the problem with downloading games all the time, they lose their value and as soon as they get even slightly boring you don't bother with them any more because "hey, you didn't pay for it so who gives a fuck". The curse of the chronic leecher.

I can't remember the last game I really enjoyed a game that I downloaded. But i've enjoyed alot of the games i've bought. There are two reasons for that:

1. I make sure I research a game fully before buying it.
2. Because I bought it I make sure I get the most out of it, I give it more time.

I love my 360 and i'm glad I bought it.

now i only go for the best. last game i bought was table tennis and next will be dead rising. quality before quantity. Smile

Hmm The problem is:

Game designers/writers/artists etc.. are on the whole a talented bunch of people, thier artistic flair needs an outlet.. which they USED to vent on pc/console games.

however.. we are now in the 21st century.. a time full of 13 year olds who cannot read/write or do simple maths..

the most powerful country on earth,(which also breeds the most gameplayers on earth) is also the most violent and warlike.. A place where you can shoot someone for stealing your skateboard.. but woe betide if you question the existence of god!

I kid you not fellow Nforce readers.. this strange and intellectually backwards place does exist.. and unforutnately a lot of our (otherwise) intelligent bretheren from Europe, adhere to this 'backwards' view on life and society in general..

This leads the game designers to put thier brain power aside and give the majority of the game playing public what it covets! for lets face it.. these designers are in it for the monetary gain.

so what do you give a race of warlike,tyrannical ,flagloving,Mcdonald eating morons?

you give them: a feeling of justification and selfworth.. to reach this simple goal.. you design endless games making them into heroes and 'peacekeeping self rightous semi inteligent soldiers' for the majority wont actually be given the chance to murder innocents in Iraq, or whereever they decide looks the easist target next..

I realise i am rambling.. but when i see a thread bemoaning the lack of 'intelligent' 'creative' 'different' etc etc.. games.. think to yourself who the majority of game players are.. and you will realise.. the games most of us long for are totally beyond thier intellecutal capacity..

hence why 90% of games are written by americans for americans... a bit like a mother gorilla peeling a banana for her baby..

this is quite interesting i must admit.

as for myself i also think i suffer from this lil disease.
i leeched these games to my pc:

halflife 2: played till 3rd stage.. deleted.

need for speed black: played for about 20 mins.. deleted.

hitman blood money: played till 2nd stage.. deleted

flatout 2: tried one single race, tried one destruction derby, tried the minigames a couple of times.. deleted.

that and many others. i think it's a VERY situational thing for me since the games i've downloaded for my ps2 tend to last a LOT longer.

completed RE4, dragon quest, shadow of colossus, MGS3 + subsistence and god of war among others. i still regularly play tekken 5(huge fighting fan) pro evo 5, guitar hero, KH2 and when FF12 arrives i'll leech and play the shit outta that one grinhurt.

dunno if it's a mere coincidence that leechers get tired of xbox/pc games. afterall most of the games are direct ports and/or the same types we've seen over and over again.. the longest game i've played recently on the pc was oblivion but even that got boring after 1-2 weeks.

i'm deadsure the spirit for games will wake up once the wii and ps3 have been released.

theres no way your taking back a console with a void warranty.

oh and about downloading so many games and getting tired of them because you didn't hand the cash over.... try actually just downloading one (even if another great game comes out WAIT!) play the game from start to finish and achieve everything possible.

Then you will start enjoying what you do Very Happy

Damn people, how can you get bored of games just because you download them?
I've been downloading most games for a long time now but I still play almost every one I download until the end and some of them I play again.

I am yet to buy even one game on the x360 (I will pay for Dead Rising though) and I have burned about 13 games on the x360. I've played them all to see that they works and then I started with Kameo, played through it and then went to the next game and so on. Only took a break from the starting line-up I burned to play Dead Rising then I will be back to finishing the others.

Same goes for my PC gaming. Well of course, I don't just leech any shit game there it, but the ones that seems good I download and play. Mostly I get to the end unless the game turns out to be crappy.

I have the same disease unfortunatly.
Even if i buy games i get bored of the very fast except a game and a sim that i keep getting back to which are Flight Simulator and the GTA series. besides that i havent played though many games in my life.
Played through HL2 and Kameo the last year or two, and played some Oblivion when it came out, but as time goes by, it's not that interesting anymore.
I have never played through a game more than once and after kompleting a game it gets it's place with the rest of the "dusting" games.

But Flight Sim and the GTA series i still get back to.

Hahaha, I recently got a cheap gamecube aswell, more fun with those games than any of the downloaded ones or those on xbox, have just sold my 360, will get a Wii in a month Very Happy I honestly don't care if some microsoft exec believes it to be 'just gamecube with a dvd' my modded gamecube has a dvd and i'm getting the wii anyway.
It just seems to me the games on a "lesser" system is more about gameplay than fancy graphics, incidently thats also how it used to be on computers when gamedevelopers didn't have fancy hardware or api's at their disposal.

ok i have been in the scene for 20 years owning pretty much every console since the atari vcr , every console i have had i have played back ups onj and 2 months ago i to got an xbox 360 premium and hooked it up to a bravia 40" and played it in hd, i also purchased the originals of PGR3, COD2 & GRAW, now i play them every night on live and love every minute, the best thing in the world is playing the games on live this is shown in the fact that after 2 months i have not even touched the single player games yet as i am hooked on the online carreer modes on the games i own. i take it that u are not playing live and there for not getting the true benifits of the xbox 360. Buy the originals, support the devolopers, sign up to live and start enjoying the real gaming world.


As for framerate, the 360 version runs smooth, while the PS3 is a jaggy mess that chugs along in slow motion.

Actually many ppl have said one of the greatest benefits of the 360 is indeed the online mode.

maybe i'm just an oldschool single player fanatic since i found nothing interesting about the original xbox and of course the 360.. my bro has an xbox with literally every great game released on the box and i didn't find anything mildly interesting (except for ninja gaiden and of course halo 2) that i couldnt also play on the pc.
perhaps it was because i was expecting variety like with the ps2 and not multiplayer capabilities.. lets face it.. the ps2 was pretty much a flop with its online mode but holy crap the single player experiences were priceless.

The 360's current lineup of games doesn't exactly scream epic single player experience either(although i wouldnt mind trying dead rising).

I'm even bored of the games I rent let alone download. I rented hitman shitmoney for a week and it didnt even enter my 360 tray not once. I rented Prey and played the same level I already played once in the demo and took it back.

Saints row was the first game I really waited for and it let me down with its performance. I bought the PS2 just for GTA3 so you can imagine the importance of good gta-games. Now saints has gotten boring so only Gears is worth waiting for again.

If the 360 wasnt such a solid product with demo downloads and arcade, mp3 playback during games etc great features, I'd be a little disappointed.

I think Gears is do or die in many ways.. it either finally starts the next-gen with proper force or puts it on hold until Xbox3 and PS4.
