Just As I Suspected
I don't want to say that reading about games as much as I do gives me any insight into anything but what some other dumbass says about a game, but apparently all the dumbasses think the Xbox 360's current lineup sucks just as much as I do.
I have two more examples of suck straight from the horse's servers: Rumble Roses and MotoGP 2006.
I downloaded these two demos off of Live tonight just to download something off of Live. Rumble Roses was the newest available download, so without knowing any better, I quickly pressed the A button lots. I knew this was a glorified bikini wrestler, if there is a way to glorify such a thing. I'll admit, I played with the photo/pose mode more than I played with the actual wrestling demo. They were both of the same quality but the photo mode actually had more substance to it. The wrestling felt like two stick figures that would occasionally get all Matrix on each other. The photo mode had bikinis and horrible controls and wouldn't let me actually take any pictures. Things were pretty stiff all around.
...
MotoGP 2006 on the other hand was, well, just on the other hand. Where the king was once perched now sits Tourist Trophy. But only by a hair. They are mutually exclusifying what a GP game should actually be. TT has better graphics and controls and MGP has competition and collisions. It really is that simple. And I gathered all this in four laps with Nicky Hayden, though it really could have been John Doe with all the realism in the game. If anyone can notice the difference between racers on the same bike it might only be because the programmers say Hayden should turn and break faster than Checca...because he's better...and they turned up the x- and y-axis of the model.
So there you go: two games I had no intention of ever buying and now have made fun of based of real play time. All hail the 360! Console of crap!
My Matisyahu video should be downloaded by now....
My husband and his brother basically just play the same two or three games all the time because everything else sucks. Around here it's all Ghost Recon and Oblivion. As far as I can tell, they both seem monotonous. Tomb Raider seemed fun, but it also took only a week to finish. According to Family Rule #33, no game can be bought outright if it can be completed within the period of one game rental.
ReplyDeleteWhat pisses me off most about the XBox 360 is that you can't play any of the games from the original XBox on this console. Hundreds of dollars worth of games we have sitting in our game cabinet, and we can't play them on the XBox 360 because Bill Gates couldn't bring himself to make the two systems compatible. I can't tell you how ripped off I feel. It wasn't just me that was fooled; lots of people were under the impression that the old games would work on the new system. And we can't play them on the original X-Box either, because SOMEBODY decided he wouldn't need it anymore once he got the 360.
I don't know who I'm more pissed at, the 360 game system creator or my husband.
Nope, you sure can play a lot of those games on the 360. Here is the official list.
