I don't think anything else needs to be said about that.

Wildarmsjecht5677d ago

lol but i wanna say something else.

Fishy Fingers5677d ago

Don't worry guys, I'm sure some of N4G will have something to say about this ;)

Pennywise5677d ago

Just started selling cars at my dealership without steering wheels. You can buy one from our parts department for $5000.00

ThanatosDMC5677d ago

Good metaphor. ::nods twice::

ChrisGTR15677d ago

yea this sounds like a bad thing, but now that i remember , i dont think anyone that plays on live has a 360 core. you guys forget that the core was made for people that dont have dsl or cant afford to pay for live.

TheColbertinator5677d ago

Playing a 360 without Live is stupid.The only game I ever could keep playing offline was Oblivion.But as they as they dangled that DLC in front of me I knew I would need a hard drive and a truck load of Microsoft points

IdleLeeSiuLung5677d ago

Why do people keep complaining about the lack of hard drive issue? It's stupid!

The Xbox 360 Arcade can do almost everything the Wii can (except for the wifi) do at a lower price and exceed it from a hardware point. You get some free arcade games to get you started and if you needed a hard drive, it is a $100 away! Yes it is expensive, but there is an upgrade path. Is there much of an upgrade path on the Wii?

Yes, you still have to buy Live membership, but you know what Live is a better service. If you dont' use it, you dont' hvae to pay for it.

So depending on your need the 360 Arcade is a damn good proposition.

SeNiLe9115677d ago

nothing else needs to be said. The Xbox 360 Arcade comes with 256 MB so there good! http://www.xbox.com/en-US/h...

Core users, Avatar customize away!!!

Mr_Bun5677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

Can't you just through an 8gig or 16gig usb flashdrive into the arcade...if so, what's the problem? (I Don't know if you can or not)

GiantEnemyCrab5677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

The arcade comes with a 256MB memory card included. People need to stop trying to make an issue out of nothing. Done.

EDIT: Ohh, 1.8 beat me to it.

plain rice5677d ago

A 256mb memory card won't be enough.

thereapersson5676d ago

Okay, so once the 256 megabyte space runs out, then what are people going to do? Isn't the included memory unit only 256 megabytes, or did MS up the storage space to 512 Megabytes?

Lelouch V Brit5676d ago

only 256mb? it doesn't affect me, I own a Xbox 360 Elite. but Arcade Owners are going to be screw.

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker8h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing698h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto13h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8813h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies3h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis1d 6h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast1d 5h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake22h ago
