I just got my paycheck this week and I have an extra 60+ dollars to spend on a game.

What do you people recommend? [Smile]

PS I beat Halo at on a friends XBOX and I thought Knight of the Old Republic was awful after renting on Gamefly (great business btw).

So, besides those two, what do you think? [Smile]

PPS. If anybody is up for a Tetris Worlds Live game, email me sometime. [Smile]

Knights of the Old Republic is the second best reason to get an X-Box. The first is Halo.

The thing about Halo is that it's the best game for multiplayer fun. That part of Halo NEVER gets old.

Yeah, but I want something new. KOTOR was absolutely one of the worst games I ever played. It was more disappointing then when I bought Nintendo 64 back in the day.

I feel your pain. I'm having a really hard time finding games I want to play for my x-box as well.

KOTOR is tough to play when you're not used to RPG's. Once you get the hang of it, it's wildly addicting.

I understood how the game worked in about ten minutes. I just didn't like it.

I know you can percieve as impossible that somebody hates a game that you love so much. They must not be understanding the game right?

[Smile]

I just didn't like KOTOR. I liked Diablo II far more. But that's PC games. [Smile]

Get Halo. That is the only reason to buy a crappy x-box.

XBOX isn't crappy! They have a lot more capabilities then you would know.... [Smile]

Their performance can be... ooomphed in the same way an upgradable computer can. [Smile]

I agree that X-box has a lot of capabilities, but unfortunately there are not enough games that take advantage of what it has to offer.

Right not both my PS2 and Gamecube have many more playable/enjoyable titles to choose from.

More than I would know?

Have they done something to them that I didn't know about? I'm pretty sure I already know.

Edit, what he said, not enough good games.

I didn't mean that you wouldn't know. I just meant that most people (just know remembering that you know some tech stuff) don't know that you can modify them just like a computer, because that's what they are. [Smile]

That's funny, bad games makes the system bad? Wouldn't that make the developers unable to make a game good enough to take advantage of the great system that is the XBOX?

I'm sorry, I like my XBOX, and when you come in here saying XBOX sucks, that's kind of insulting to me because I like my XBOX.

I agree, i like my x-box. I just don't think there are enough games to play on it. That was my point, not that the system itself sucked. The reason I bought mine was because I know that there will eventually be some very awesome games. Just not yet.

You can't understand the beauty that is KOTOR until you spent at least a few hours at it, not 10 minutes.

Why don't you go buy 'Barbie's Rocking roller skate playdate? '

That sounds about your level.

[No No]

So, because I don't like a game that you do, you're somehow at a higher level than me? [Roll Eyes]

I didn't like KOTOR. That means the game isn't any good in my mind. That doesn't mean that there is something wrong with me. [Taunt] [Wink]

You make me feel like I'm in first grade again.

Kid 1:"Mortal Kombat is the best game ever!"
Kid 2:"Donkey Kong is better!"

2:"Meet me at the bike racks after school punk!"

Ah, memories. [Smile]

It was an honest assesment. I accept the fact you don't like a good game, and offered you something that is more your speed.

I personally have never played KotoR but I think it looks pretty good. But I really think your arguement is funny. I don't see how you can be faulted for your opinion, because well, it's your opinion. but you should definately keep calling each other names and bringing lame barbie games into the mix. I'll keep an eye out for the recess monitor.

on a more serious note...

I can see how you might not like KotoR. It reminds me of when I bought Morrowind. All the reviews said it was great and everyone I talked to loved it. I played it and played it but could never get into it. I finally traded it in and decided it was an awful game.

If we are talking about morrowind we don't need to fight, the game will bore me to death and you'll win by forfit.

**looks up from Barbie game**

Wow. This one is better than my Mary Kate and Ashley Olson Be cool at school game. I mean, it's not every day you get Barbie to roller skate in a circle while she checks her makeup.

I thought an argument was a mutual thing. I'm not arguing with Pat. He's trying to make it one because I don't like KOTOR.

I just wanted some suggestions for games. I didn't create this thread to be childishly insulted.

Rhaegar the Fool, who were you saying needs ritalin?

I'm just being a troll..I'm being over the top sarcastic so that Nick will know I'm only kidding.

I could fricking care less what game he buys, but the teasing is what's fun. And it's working.

And did you see the rating of those Barbie games? I might just be on to something here.

How are you Caleb?

Pat, STFU [Razz] I won't pass judgement on KoTOR because I haven't played it, but if you continue to be a troll, I will be forced to hunt you down and put gum in your hair. Consider this your only warning.

Wetchik, I would definitely say Soul Calibur II is one to look into. I'm not sure what's next in the GameFly queue, but if I play any better ones in the next week or two, I'll let you know.

Pat's just trying to spread the word that Barbie is about more than just clothes, shoes and makeup.

Although he likes the makeup too.

Oh yeah, and the shoes. Wait till you see Pat's new Halo mods. Fabuuuuuulouuuus. Isaac Mizrahi meets Sargent Savage. And don't get him started on Manolo Blahnik's new line of combat boots.
