Long story short, i purchased a Jasper Xbox 360 last week for the princely sum of $50 (~30 pounds). I was kinda hoping it may rekindle my love of gaming, but it seems to have failed dismally.
I already own a PS3 and a Wii (ugh), and i'd gotten a tad bored with the offerings... lost interest in the Wii like a year ago to be honest, so i thought i'd see what the xbox scene had in store for me.
I wasn't particularly looking for exclusives, as i purchased Dirt 3 which is on both Xbox and PS3 platforms, but i've sort of come to realise that the Xbox isn't offering anything that the PS3 hasn't already got covered. Selling the PS3 and keeping the Xbox isn't an option, as my PS3 is used as an media center aswell
I purchased Forza 3, as im a racing fan, but i personally think when it's compared to GT5 it falls on it's face. It probably has more tracks and race modes and stuff, but the graphics and the handling of the cars just feels unatural to me. I also got Splinter Cell Conviction (not sure if that's an exclusive), and while i like it, one game isn't enough to warrant keeping the system in my eyes.
Online play is null and void, as i don't tend to game online at all.
I just can't seem to find any games that keep my interest. Here's a list of the last games that even remotely kept my interest:
GT5
Red Dead Redemtion
GTA4 - The expansions bored me
Uncharted Series
Dirt 2
L.A Noire - Finished it for the sake of it pretty much, i do like open world gameplay though.
Splinter Cell: Conviction - Only just started playing this, but it could start boring me quickly
Guitar Hero (All of them) - Already own them all on the PS3 though
And that's about it really. As you can see, it's pretty much racing games and open world adventure/GTA style games.
I'm liking Dirt 3, although i think they've gone backwards in the handling department, it feels like Dirt 1 and they nuked race replays (wtf!). But that's another title i could own on the PS3.
Are there any exclusives out there for me on the 360 that would justify me keeping it, or should i just give it up as a bad joke?
