2300 points but a ***** aint one




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

So I'm gonna buy a 2100 points card in the next couple of days, plus I have 200 points in change. Since this summer has had some awesome arcade games, I'm spoiled for choice! Help me pick the best games for 2300 points. On my shortlist:

- geowars2
- castle crashers
- bionic commando
- art game
- rez HD
- ikaruga

internet strangers, make my financial decisions for me




Posted by Lord of Spam

i have never once connected to xbox live!




Posted by Ant

castle crashers. it'd be fun to play with you online!!!




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

yeah castle crashers seems to be a given, what 800 point game should i get?




Posted by Ant

I'D SAY IKARUGA. in b4 vamp says bionic commando.




Posted by Lord of Spam

speedfreak showed me a video of ikaruga earlier today. looked like some good shootan to me




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Geometry Wars 2 looks good. Though I already have the first one.

*******it why isnt vamp here to give insight




Posted by Lord of Spam

Posted by Lord of Spam

holy ****, baz still exists? awesome.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I'm thinking Galaga. **** was intense.




Posted by Fate

Heard Braid was the best purchase ever.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Eh, I can only get one 1200 point game and Castle Crashers seems to be a better choice.

lol

Buy geowars2 over galaga. And only buy ikaruga if you like games you have to play 1000 times, getting just a little bit further every time, until you memorize the whole game. Haven't played the full game myself, but all I hear is "****'s hard" and considering I died in the demo which doesn't happen often, I'd say yes.



Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Buy Galaga over Ikaruga. Buy Ikaruga for the GC and just play it on the Wii. Since you can pick the game up for less than 7 bucks anywhere and Galaga is actually new instead of a port of a port.

Bionic Commando is a given.

GeoWars 2 is so much better than the original it's not even funny. Well worth buying.

Castle Crashers is pretty good, but online is ****ed up right now and causes a bunch of problems.

And get Rez if you want. Great title and it's pretty hard to find outside of XBLA, unlike Ikaruga.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Might buy two cards, so I can get Galaga, Bionic Commando and GeoWars 2. fff****ing college, 6 months ago I'd have been all like 'yeah i'll buy two cards and a game i dont really care that much about' but now it's like oh noooo




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

drop out

and yeah, like ant said, galaga is **** **** hard.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

hey mom and dad i'm dropping out

why?

so i can buy more games on my xbox... download... thing

you know,

that one, you played prince of persia on it

yeah, thats right, the apple II game, but it was 3D

thanks guys, i knew you'd understand

fin~




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

would your parents beat you?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

they dont believe in hitting kids, i only ever got hit once as a kid and it was because i stayed out all day rollerblading instead of going to see my sick grandmother




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

rightfully so




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

in my defence the rollerblading was awesome fun




Posted by Y2kMISFIT

fruitbooting is never fun...




Posted by Skitzo Control

I had a feeling that if someone were to call it "fruitbooting," it would be the woodpusher Y2kMISFIT. :)




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I strapped rollerblades on and went down a huge paved hill after I was dared by my friends. Needless to say I fell halfway down and scrapped a lot of skin off. Haven't used rollerblades since.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

this one time i tried to jump springfield gorge on my skateboard but

oh wait




Posted by Skitzo Control

I put rockets on my rollerskates to chase giant birds.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

1100 points what do i get




Posted by Shade

100 more points and Braid




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

no art games




Posted by Shade

it's about a bomb. i hear you like guns and bombs




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

yeah, bomb

thats the word i would use to describe this game and its sales

BWHAHAHAHAHA I SHOULD WRITE FOR THE NEW YAWKA




Posted by Shade

sorry, we at the new yorker don't hire anybody who isn't a full-blooded american compatriot and devoted to the cause of world dominication for the great red white and blue




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

now give me a suggestion




Posted by Speedfreak

Get Ikaruga. Soul and I already compete for points.

Also get (at least get the trial of) Pac-Man CE.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

bought pac-man CE before you was even in diapers boy




Posted by Speedfreak

Respect +10.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

BIONIC COMMANDO




Posted by Shade

save them for guitar hero 4 track packs




Posted by Speedfreak

Save them for future songs to listen to while playing a mediocre action game.

OR get Ikaruga, which is an AMAZING action game, where the music fits what you're doing perfectly.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

okay, opinions so far based on the trials -

bionic commando - could see myself liking this, kinda takes some getting used to though
ikaruga - holy **** it took me a couple tries just to beat the first stage and wrap my head around white and black, probably not made for me
galaga - lotta fun
geowars2 - lotta fun, but i have geowars1
rez HD - its like starfox 64 but WHOOOOOOOOA
braid - so-so platformer with rewind, major text

any other arcade titles i should try before i drop the deuce?




Posted by Speedfreak

Try harder, it'll click and you won't look back.




Posted by Ant

he'll get bionic commando.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

vampy say, ecksy do




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Get Ikaruga on the GC *******it.

Save the points of BC or Galaga/Geowars. The latter isn't identical to the first anyways. Unless you only focus on 1 of the 6 modes.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

oh man this is too hard

*pees pants*




Posted by Ant

Ikaruga on the gamecube? good luck finding it. and way more expensive to boot. I'd just get it on live.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

but i'm **** at it




Posted by Speedfreak

He has no patience, I cannot teach him.




Posted by Y2kMISFIT

Speedfreak you sound like Maddox on how much you praise that game.

EB. 7 bucks.



Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

no EBs in scotland

well, there were 10 years ago, but not now




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

don't buy it then. problem solved.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

yeah, wasnt on planning do so

too hard for this faggot




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

so what are you buying?




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

probably bionic commando




Posted by Ant

wow, big surprise.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

pretty good choice. Good ten hours worth of gameplay (or more.) So a buck an hour.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Yeah, it took me three plays of the demo, but the arm's starting to feel more natural and I already have enough arcadey shooters, so I figure there's not much point in Galaga, GeoWars or Ikaruga.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, the arm takes some getting used to no doubt. But it suddenly clicks and you'll be flying through the levels. Mind you, I was using the stick, because the d-pad makes some levels unplayable. Trying to shoot the arm horizontal in midair and it suddenly going diagonal? No thanks.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Doesn't it just fire diagonal if you keep the direction in neutral though?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, but I'm pressing down on the d-pad to make it go horizontal and it's still shooting diagonal. Thus, stick only.




Posted by Y2kMISFIT

This game is do doo, racing with a compass on top of the screen is annoying.. I miss the first Burnout when you taped anything = automatic crash and closed in courses and non licensed instrumental music.

Maddox AND Tim Rogers back me up, this means I AM TRUTH.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

Maybe I'll get Shivering Isles.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

best money you can spend. There's at least thirty hours worth of game right there.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

plus, more achievement points than an arcade game

... yes, that's a deciding factor for me




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

AND really easy achievements. Just make sure you save when you're asked to become the duke or duchess of dementia/mania. There's an achievement for both, so it would suck to have to do it all over again just for one achievement.
