Halo 3 alone Worth Buying The 360?

[atomicpower93]

well, its coming up to chrismas and i quite want to buy an xbox but i dont know, if halo 3 alone will be good can ya list some other recomended titles?
(getting Gears of War too)

[Archon23]

Assassins Creed and Mass Effect. :awesome:

[343guiltymc]

Mass effect has gay sex scenes in it. If I ever get the game and a 360, I will make a girl.

[Mr Buckshot]

(if your PC is not optimal) Call of Duty 4, the next-gen entries in the Splinter Cell series.

The X360 version of GRAW is good too...and it's different from the PC version gameplay-wise.

[atomicpower93]

yeah but the problem with my laptop is its core2, which isnt that bad but when it runs xp games, it can only use one core at a time so its a 2.00ghz in comparison to a 2.00ghz Dual core

One game is rarely enough to justify the purchase of a console. Halo 1 was good enough for the original xbox, but I dont believe Halo 3 is for the 360. If you're going to get a 360, you'll want to get more than just Halo 3 or use it for HD movie downloads.

GOW, F.E.A.R(even though it's old), The Orange box is coming out this week, I believe, COD4...and that should be enough to convince you to buy a 360.

There you have it.

Halo 3, GOW, oblivion (sometimes) GOW 2 (coming soon?) dead rising, (STFU it is a fun game) are the only ones i can think of that are good for the 360. i bought it because.... well i had money and nothing to spend it on. lol

[Mr Buckshot]

Perfect Dark Zero is ok as well - not great but still solid. I loved PD1 on the N64, and this prequel is not bad.

[MNC]

Mass Effect is a sure hit.

I hoped I won the Kotaku contest but I didn't :saddowns:

[Masterz1337]

Fuck Gears. H3 is more than enough to keep you occupied for months, and then theres tons of other games too.

[Mr Buckshot]

If you're a fan of racing games (personally I never really like racers) there's Forza and PGR4 to keep you occupied as well. If you like RPGs too, I recommend the X360 version of Oblivion over the PC version because the PC version really needs top-notch hardware to look better than the X360 version, which already looks excellent.

I'm buying a 360 mainly for Halo 3 and Halo Wars.

And to pre-empt the inevitable "fanboy lawl!" comments, I've always liked RTSes, love the game's UI and control scheme, and have played most of the developer's games (Age of Empires series), and I like the setting. So ya, not just because it has "Halo" attached to it :cool:

[jngrow]

Halo 3, GRAW 2, Assassin's creed, orange box, rainbow six vegas, gta4, ut3, etc etc.

[Jay2645]

I bought mine for 3 games:
Halo 3 (Liked the series)
Halo Wars (I liked the game Star Wars: Empire at War, a similar RTS)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (:awesome:)

Halo wars is like Empire at war? There is space battles in halo wars? :confused:

I meant like the ground battles, but there may be space in Halo Wars; I don't know, I haven't played Halo Wars yet.

[t3h m00kz]

I personally think that Halo 3 would be a good enough game to convince you to get a 360, the campain feels much more like Halo 1 than Halo 2's campain did, tons of easter eggs and unlockables, an absolutely great multiplayer with an absolultely incredible replay/screenshots/UPLOAD-TO-B.NET-COMMUNITY-FORUMS feature, fixed Elite hitboxes, the list goes on.

However there are some really good games you can get for cheap as well; the rest of the Halo series should be less than 20 bucks a game at this point, and Call of Duty 2 and 3 were pretty sweet.

The system itself is really pricey IMO (I didn't buy mine, my room mate had one when I moved in, lol), but if you can afford it, I feel it's a must have.

[Mr Buckshot]

Note that many of the X360 titles are also available on PC, and Halo 3 will receive its port in at least 2 years. But like I said, the X360 versions are safer bets if you're unsure about graphics/framerates.

I don't have Halo 3 yet, but my personal favorite X360 game that's not (yet) on the PC is GEARS OF WAR.

Also, see if you can get a Halo 3 edition of the Xbox 360. Why? The reason is here (http://www.h2vista.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6541). While the $50 extra is not really worth it (all you get is a free wired headset, play-n-charge kit, and a green Halo 3 paint job) - you are getting a console that is slightly less prone to overheating.

[Pooky]

Not unless you have Live.

[DrunkenSamus]

Do you guys realize that HL2 Episode Two/ The Orange Box is out now for the 360 and PC? Why hasn't there been a thread about it?

[t3h m00kz]

Because this is a Halo forum.

[DrunkenSamus]

That's why there is a tech forum.

[Bathroom Security]

I think you should. X360 has like all the good, intense games (H3, H2, GoW, Forza) and has enough (remember, ENOUGH) power to make things look pretty.

Plus, in the future, the Xbox720 and the Xbox1080 will rule the world.

[Jay2645]

Xbox 2160 FTW!

[Con]

For me, yes, the game will be worth buying a console for. The 360 isn't that bad anyway. I'll probably pick up Forza as well.

[Bathroom Security]

360's a good media center as well

Especially the H3-skinned one o:

[Jay2645]

Yeah.

And Bathroom Security, you stole my avatar! =*(

[Pooky]

well his is zoomed more :U

[Jay2645]

Lol, still, I had it first.

Meh, I was going to change it soon anyway.

[sangheili]

Ya I played H3 at a friends. Definitely worth the $$ that is the 360, but grab some other games while youre at it.

[Warsaw]

Borderlands, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Gears of War, Dead Rising, Oblivion, and Rainbow Six: Vegas all make it worth the money for an XBOX 360.
