Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

[Misty]

.....I am now a proud owner of an XBOX 360!

What I got: the Premium Package. Hard Drive, Memory Card, Wireless Controller, the works. What I don't have: XBox Live. Not yet. Bear with me, I can't get online with XBox right now. But I will soon enough. But at least...I have the system!

Now that that's out of the way, I need to buy my first game. I've already outlined a few of my interests, but it all boils down to what I want to buy first. Do you have any recommends for me? Just one will do for now!

And...uhh....I don't know how to calibrate my wireless controller. I couldn't turn on the console using the controller. Is there anything I need to do first? Any help there is appreciated, too.

.......I have a lot of 360 catching up to do!

Gears of Mother****ing WAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR.

I hear Dead Rising is the bee's knees too though I have yet to spend any considerable time with it.

Get Geometry Wars, it has quickly become one of my favorite games EVAR as well.

Once you get XBox Live add me: Doofus McPaddle. You'll hear my James Bond horn in real time.

When I'm not listening to John Mora sing anyway.

Be a good time for me to add you folks as well.

As for games...

Solo games:
Dead Rising
Guitar Hero II
Oblivion

Online games:
Lost Planet
Tenchu Z (although lag is horrible for fighting enemies. Stealth kills are easier)

And...uhh....I don't know how to calibrate my wireless controller. I couldn't turn on the console using the controller. Is there anything I need to do first? Any help there is appreciated, too.

Turn on the controller and the console.


On the top of the controller, you'll see a small button with an icon that looks like (((. When you press this, the lights on the Xbox button will flash and it will search for the console.

On the console (looking at it horizontally), just right of the 2nd memory card slot, is also a small round button. Press this and it will begin looking for any controllers that are currently searching.

Eventually, the controller and console will find each other and the lights on each will show what player you are.

-Gears of War
-Oblivion
-Guitar Hero II
-Rainbow Six: Las Vegas

There are a lot of good shooters that you can get, and a few good action/adventure games. If you like Sonic the Hedgehog, I would recommend getting that game, even if most people don't like it. It's at least good if you collect the games, and I personally don't think it's as bad as everyone says it is, though it has its moments.

Sorry Asch, but i gotta tell her NOT to get Sonic. I used to be a big Sonic fan, but Sonic for the 360 and PS3 is absolutely horrible!

If you dont have alot of money left and need a cheap fun game, get Kameo.

Dont get Dead Rising if you dont have an HDTV.

Re: Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

Eh, it's all opinion anyway. I had trouble with the controls to begin with, but it's not so bad when you get used to it. Though it did seem like it was rushed, especially the gameplay aspect. "Hi, I'm Knuckles/Rouge and I can't jump off the wall!" But overall, I didn't find the game too bad. Better than Sonic Heroes, imo, and definitely better than Shadow the Hedgehog.

Re: Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

Yeah, sonic is ****. even if the countless bugs werent in it, it's a terrible game. as-is, it's a terrible game with terrible bugs (being flung through solid walls and floors, for example, even when you arent moving)

only 3D sonic thats actually good is Sonic and the Secret Rings. Stupid story, good gameplay.

Re: Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

I'll definately consider the choices--they're all very good. For now, my friend is letting me borrow Dead or Alive 4.

****ing awesome game. I don't even have an HDTV, and the game STILL looks fantastic. This fighter alone is making me more eager to get Virtua Fighter 5. Truly, this is an unbelievable console!

If you dont have alot of money left and need a cheap fun game, get Kameo.

Dont get Dead Rising if you dont have an HDTV.

Yeah, I hear Dead Rising has hard to read text if you do not have an HDTV. As for Kameo, I believe it's only $20, so I can easily afford that.

I did just fine playing Dead Rising on a normal TV.

And I also have DoA4. I could practice kicking your butt for when VF5 and SSF2THDR comes out. Although DoA4 has always been laggy for me online.

Re: Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

Oh ho ho....don't you mean ... me kicking your butt, Gou dear?



(kidding--you'd probably destroy me--lag and all!)

Thanks for your Gametags, everybody. I'll be sure to post mine once I get Xbox Live up and running.

Re: Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

In the mean time, I'll be watching the 2nd season of DBZ dvds I just bought.

I'll be waiting for your challenge.

I promise I'll be gentle.

Re: Well, I gone and done it.....(XBOX 360 Related)

Oblivion is a fun and vast ride.

Defintally get Dead Rising.

If you like Tomb Raider, then Legends would be a great choice.
