Well, my 360 recently decided to go E73, and until I can afford a PS3 or find a way to fix it, my stone age computer is the only thing I got. Any good suggestions for good RTS or RPG games out there? Online or CD?

keyword stone age, literally, games from around 2002-2005 prefferred

I know what you mean. Mass Effect is one of the best trilogy's that will exist EVER and I was glad for a continuation of the story. I just feel they ditched a few things that made ME1 so grand. And the RPG game has lost some of its RPG'ness.

I know what everyone means, but no ones really answer my question. I know the combat system is much more improves, many perks about stats/weapon assigning make it easier. But, my question is the comparison of ME1-ME2. ME2 is better then ME1 alot, but what if we removed that 5 year difference?

Removing controversial topics like the inventory. The combat system is better, graphics are better, but what if ME1 had the advantages that new technology gives bioware in 2010? Would it be better or for worse.

Never heard anyone argue about them removing some of the RPG'ness about it. RPG itself is free roaming customization. I miss the fact that theres only really 2 sets of armor in the entire game. and only like 2-4 different weapons for each weapon type.

So im asking, everyone think really hard about it, is ME2 really better, or is it just the graphics and the extra little perks? I preffer ME2 alot more, but if you made both games in the same year id go with ME1

ME2 is better then ME1 in every single way.

Bioware did an amazing job making a good series into a masterpeice.

Better combat, better voice acting, better optimized, MUCH better level design and more fun.

To be honest I could careless about a useless inventory from ME1.

They did the impossible and made ME1 even better with ME2.

95% of the stuff you found in ME1 was useless anyways, im glad they fixed that part of the game.

I just got my CE edition of ME2 4 days ago, just finished my third playthrough and gotten most of the game completed. I quickly picked up on a few thing after playing for a bit.

For better, the detail/graphics, and the auto-assigning better weapons.

For worse, ME2 compared to ME1 has lost some of its "Free roam/play" feeling like ME1 had. The armor being mostly restricted to pre-order bonuses and dr.pepper codes, and very few weapons (atleast compared to ME1). Another thing was how much fewer shops there were and (yes i know theres a reason) how much tinier the citadel was.

Well some can debate that this is not the truth, a game without an inventory is kind of annoying. I liked selling old junker weapons for cash to buy new weapons. The storyline seems to be less "thrilling" aswell. The plot itself is perfect, but the way they tell it in ME2 kinda stinks. atleast from my view

Personally I would have rather have seen a "digitally remastered" edition of ME1 come out instead of this new game. Anyone got thoughts/comments on this?

I was going to say halo 3 ODST..But im wondering if that peice of junk can even be classified as a game

just get a elite or a limited edition pro XBOX360. Mines been going 4 years strong (its a halo 3 limited edition, and yes I know halo sucks)

Ive abused this thing like crazy! Ive sat on it, ive dropped a controller on it. Ive had it run for about 2 days straight, ive taken it apart about 2-3 times to clear the lense. I had it couped up in a confined corner with the sun shining on it for about a year. Ive sent it through hundreds of heat cycles...trust me, the list goes on and on..never once have I had to take it apart besides from the lense being cleared

sometimes its just luck to.

oh come on!

Amazon (by the looks of it) dosn't accept capital one||Paypa||hyperwallet

Gamespot dosn't offer shipping to canadian PO boxes?????? (anyone clarify?) and possibly same problem as amazon

Im worried im not even going to be able to preorder the game at all O.O :(
