Sheikah Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 he has a dumb ass JRPG avatar. I think he's suffering from warped perceptions of time. Let's keep things civil. It is fairly short, considering it has no multiplayer option. Although by FPS standards, it may be considered quite long.
Emerald Emblem Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 If anything it's Fallout 3 that messes my perception of how long a FPS should be. I'm an RPG person thats something I won't deny but when I complete a game in a day I think to myself, "Well that was short"

I'm an RPG person thats something I won't deny but when I complete a game in a day I think to myself, "Well that was short" 18 hours in a day only leaves you time to sleep. I think Bioshock has a really good length for every genre that isn't RPG.
Dante Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Microsoft were going to cut the price of the Elite but it has been delayed for awhile.
McPhee Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I thought it was just in the US that they were cutting the price? They already cut it here to £199 (or was it £219.99? I can't remember) a few months ago. In the US the price just dropped to $299 to compete with the PS3 at $299. In the UK they don't have that problem, the 360 Elite is already cheaper.

Well played it over 2 days. about 8-9 hours each day. Accidentally left the game unpaused for about 40 minutes for dinner one day. Edited August 22, 2009 by Emerald Emblem
Kirkatronics Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Well I have the 360. Been playing GTAIV. Anyone recommend any good, cheap games to get me started? (I'm currently borrowing a few off of him.) Mass Effect... Thats a great game, and you can play it to your style of game play.
Oxigen_Waste Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Well played it over 2 days. about 8-9 hours each day. Accidentally left the game unpaused for about 40 minutes for dinner one day. Yeah, well, apparently you're one of those persons who just don't do anything all day long. And games are imagined for everyone, being that most people do something.

It's my favourite Racing game so far. I love the handling.
Cube Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 If you want to play more than one racing game then don't get Burnout Paradise. The handling is so spot-on that it makes most other racing games feel like you're fighting against the controls.
Shorty Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Don't get it? Or don't forget it? Has anyone mentioned Fallout 3 yet?
Cube Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Don't get it? Or don't forget it? Don't get it if you don't want it to ruin most other racing games.
Goafer Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Don't get it if you don't want it to ruin most other racing games. Oddly enough that's my view of PGR4. The only current gen racing games that are any good handling wise are PGR, Burnout and Outrun.
Cube Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I suppose PGR4 has good handling if you like the realistic, non-arcade type of handling.
Dan_Dare Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 pgr has a nice take on handling: rather than being what racing a super car is actually like, it's what you think racing a super car might be like. It's like a car chase sim or something.
Goafer Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 I suppose PGR4 has good handling if you like the realistic, non-arcade type of handling. I think it got the balance just right. It's arcadey enough that you can do most things easily enough without having to worry about weight transfer and all the real world nonsense, but its realistic enough that you feel like a pro for doing it.

Nolan Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 PGR falls in the same lines as Dirt and Grid, a mixture of arcade and sim handling. Burnout is even more Arcade than Sim than those three...well it's practically all arcade. Just to throw this out there, alot of these games have demos on XBL so give em a try to see if you like them before buying.
