S.C.G Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 seconded - go for Mass Effect, it has a lot more substance to it.
Hellfire Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 But think of the achiieeevemeeents I might treat myself after my exams next week, mass effect or assassin's creed? I want something that isn't rated on its LIVE-ness. yay achievements
McPhee Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 But think of the achiieeevemeeents I might treat myself after my exams next week, mass effect or assassin's creed? I want something that isn't rated on its LIVE-ness. Neither, both are horribly flawed and feel very clunky. Both were released 6 months before they should have been. One has clunky gameplay, the other has clunky presentation. Theres quite a few good single player games on 360, many of which will cost a fraction of those two. Tried Dead Rising?
gaggle64 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Haven't tried Assassins Creed, though my friends tell me it's very engrossing if slightly repetitive. Mass Effect I can personally and highly vouch for.
Daft Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I might treat myself after my exams next week, mass effect or assassin's creed? I want something that isn't rated on its LIVE-ness. If you want a game to take your time on (I'd say spaced out over 3 weeks) and that is a doesn't have a soul destroying amount of glitches, get Assassin's Creed. Its disappointing because they screwed up the easy stuff (repetitive missions) but nailed the stuff you thought they would have buggered up. Otherwise get Mass Effect. Its only disappointing because you know it was so close to being a stunning game. They are both going to disappoint you somehow and they are both a lot better than the average so there isn't much to pick between them.
Guest Stefkov Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I might treat myself after my exams next week, mass effect or assassin's creed? I want something that isn't rated on its LIVE-ness. Assassins Creed. For a game you'll hate to love.
Shorty Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Eee conflicting opinions galore. I loved KoTOR if that helps... Theres quite a few good single player games on 360, many of which will cost a fraction of those two. Tried Dead Rising?I tried the demo, good but not my real idea of fun, and have heard that it's frustratingly hard with far too few savepoints. Perhaps I'll save my cash for the next big title. What is the next big title, btw?
Bluejay Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Shorty, get Mass Effect. Far, far superior to AC.
Gizmo Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I loved both AC and ME, and I'd have to rate ME higher.
ReZourceman Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Err... Burnout in 2 weeks? :p Didn't like teh demoz.
Cube Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Err... Burnout in 2 weeks? :p Yea. I preordered mine a week ago. I loved the demo. I still play it, too. I loved Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect but they both felt quite unfinished.

Eddage Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 UPS have just this second picked up my Xbox, now I wait to see how long it takes for it to be returned and if my red light lie has come off!
Daft Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Eee conflicting opinions galore. I loved KoTOR if that helps... I think if you loved KoToR then Mass Effect is even more disappointing than if you hadn't played KoToR.
Caris Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Anyone read the news about achievements people have unlocked just vanishing due to the Live problems?
Guest Jordan Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Major Nelsons' twitter says that utter rubbish. Just scare mongering. Although my gamercard currently says "??????". Great.
Shorty Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Man I spent so long getting the achievement on Puzzle Fighter HD for destroying a gem at least 25 blocks in size, so fucking frustrating, half the time I failed when I was really close because the enemy was so crap they managed to die even when I wasn't trying to kill them. Wouldn't say it was the hardest achievement so far, but certainly the most annoying and swear-filled.
Cube Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I'm finally starting to get into PGR4. Except for all the Kudos-related stuff.

Wouldn't say it was the hardest achievement so far, but certainly the most annoying and swear-filled. I got that one, didn't frustrate me that much as it was never my intention to get it, but whenever a block started to get big I thought I could get the achievement with this one. Only problem I had was realising when it was big enough to bust. I let one grow so big that I died waiting for a crash gem to splode it.
