So as everyone knows Next gen is slowly creeping upon us, for the time being I have no intentions of upgrading for now,lack of games etc etc, which brings me to my point! seeing as to ALOT of games for 360/PS3 have been going on sale like crazy anyone have a list of games or recommendations that are worth a look at?, don't name anything big time like Halo,mass effect,uncharted,God of war,Gears, etc etc, just something that might be considered an overlooked gem,underrated, or something ..like tales of...never heard of that until a few weeks ago...loved it.

A lot of great suggestions there, I'll also add to the list if you don't mind!

NIER
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Enchanted Arms
Mafia II
Blue Dragon
Dust: An Elysian Tail (Arcade)
Bastion (Arcade)


The "creeping" of the next gen is going to be a slow process. In no way is the 360 down and out. You still have a lot of time before anything worthy of your time comes out for the Xbox One, and if the latest releases are any indication of what's to come (GTA and BF4, CoD: Ghosts, all full of bugs and glitches while patch after patch comes out to attempt fixing the problems) then you'll be just fine sitting comfortably on the 360. There a dozens of games that never hit mass appeal but are wonderfully made.

Bastion?BASTION *flips out* I F**King love that game.:056: Enslaved was awesome...that ending though.. -_-
Thanks for the list man, you reminded me about Nier, I have to get that.
wow, I didn't know Enchanted Arms was on 360 last one I played was on PS2 I think..wait that was wild arms.
I forgot about Blue Dragon,you guys going to overload me with RPGS lol, no complaints though!

I agree with you man, I've been observant far as next gen goes, not worth the money right now...maybe next year, I need more than 5 or so good games on a console,and these bugs need to be worked out.
Thanks again.

The Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us are also great.

Wolf Among Us was Free on Xbox360 & I loved EP1, and I know they are the creators of the walking dead series, I'm going to give them a try now that you mention it.:048:

Thanks!


Also Thank you Cloud!

Most of these are a decent price to.

Wild Arms was PS/PS2 and were amazing. I still have a few of the original games in mint condition :) And yeah Enchanted Arms is a pretty decent JRPG. The voice acting needs to be left on Japanese though or else your ears will bleed on English :P And yeah Nier is awesome, it's missing a little something that could have made it a huge success but it's exactly what you'd want out of a simple free roam RPG type thing. It's a bit of a grind to 99 but you only need to hit 50 at most to beat the hardest difficulty. And yeah Blue Dragon is great but very very slow paced. It will require some dedication until you can freely roam the world with a vehicle but it's really great all in all.

Is NEIR the game with a few different ending and one wipes your memory of the game lol? I'm defiantly picking it up though,looks good. Blue dragon is $15 bucks, why not!

Yeah NIER has 4 endings, look up the walkthrough guide to see which ending wipe your save file and before you complete the last part of the game which is a series of boss battles, just make a few saves. What I did was play my main game on my HDD and made a few spares on my USB and did all the multiple endings on there so I could keep my ultimate save and continue to replay it whenever I wanted to.

I absolutely loved the Darkness. Probably one of my favorite games period. Amazing story, fun gameplay, just the total package. The second one was a lot of fun too, but the first one is definitely where it's at.

lol, yea I'm most defiantly going to make sure I back up my saves and watch out, I know my friend got his save wiped lol, he didn't expect it as I doubt anyone would.

Mafia II was fun when I played the demo. I think that is indeed a overlooked great game for XBOX 360.
