Tanukitsune Posted July 13, 2008 I'm more or less caught with my 360, but there are a few games I'm not really sure about... Play.com has a sale and has many games that I'm having trouble deciding whether to get or not... The games are: Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonata, DMC 4 and Blue Dragon.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 13, 2008 If you like Bioware games (Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire) then you should pick up Mass Effect. The others I'm not too sure about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 13, 2008 Eternal Sonata was apparently a bit of a letdown, but I can personally vouch for Lost Odyssey, assuming that you don't mind the playing style of Japanese RPG's. I usually don't, but still enjoyed LO because of its interesting characters and storytelling devices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted July 13, 2008 If you like Bioware games (Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire) then you should pick up Mass Effect. The others I'm not too sure about. I have played Jade Empire and I did like it, if memory serves me well! Eternal Sonata was apparently a bit of a letdown, but I can personally vouch for Lost Odyssey, assuming that you don't mind the playing style of Japanese RPG's. I usually don't, but still enjoyed LO because of its interesting characters and storytelling devices. Well, I liked the Eternal Sonata demo, but I don't know if I'd like 50+ hours of that game... I tend to like RPGs unless they are MMORPGS and the flow is too slow. PS: How come I don't have your gamertag yet, Rodi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted July 14, 2008 Bwah, My Xbox can't go online so a gamertag would be pretty useless. I just have an offline profile unfortunately. Of course it could be that I'm leeching internet from my neighbours, why it doesn't work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted July 14, 2008 I thought Mass Effect was passable but not brilliant. Not awesome, but compelling enough for me to play it to the end. Pick it up cheap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twmac Posted July 14, 2008 If you like the Devil may cry series then DMC4 is another competent entry and worth a go, I thought it was shit but I've never liked the game anyway. Eternal sonata is great, I can't stand JRPGs but this one is a gem. The battle system is different to most and the art design is pretty good as is the story. I usually hate games like Mass Effect but I found really quite good. Enough to play it from beginning to end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 14, 2008 Just because I happen to like it, here's the Metacritic scores: Mass Effect: 91 Lost Odyssey: 78 Eternal Sonata: 79 Devil May Cry 4: 84 Blue Dragon: 79 I think Mass Effect is probably a little overrated, but not much. No idea about the others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy42 Posted July 14, 2008 I like Eternal Sonata so far. Mass Effect is pretty good. The others...*shrug* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted July 15, 2008 What worries me is that most of them are RPGs or RPG-like, and if I buy a bunch at the same time I'll never beat them... And when I play too many games of the same genre in a row I tend to get sick of that genre... To think I didn't want a 360 because I thought it didn't have enough good games on it... And I just got Overlord today too! I think the question I should ask which are the best offers? I know I can get Blue Dragon for the price they have it there, but DMC 4 and Lost Odyssey still cost a bit... I'll have to look up the others though.
