Lost Odyssey, Eternal Sonota, and Mass Effect are all considered better, and the first 2 are $30 while the last one is $20.

I'll admit, Blue Dragon is pretty low on my priority list, but everybody I've talked to have said that Enchanted Arms was pretty underrated. Plus, it's the only Strategy RPG on the 360 that's any good.

While Lost Oddessey and Eternal Sonota are only $30, generally my limit tends to be $20 and under, hence why I got Mass Effect. I still really want those games, I just want to wait until they're a little cheaper.

Really? I never heard anything like that about Enchanted Arms. What other SRPGs are on the 360? Waiting for Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonota won't hurt;it's not like their Atlus games.

Spectral Force 3, Operation Darkness, and Zoids Assault. Spectral Force 3 was just mediocre, but the other two were considered to be absolutely horrible by anyone who have had the displeasure of playing them. Surprisingly enough, they're all Atlus games.

Oh, and Culdcept Saga, which is a pretty niche game that I personally didn't like. Might have to try it again, though.

In Atlus's defence, they just published the titles...And don't ask me why Atlus thought publishing mediocre games without a popular license would work.

Fallout 3 hands down

Betagam7 · 29th July 2009

Even though I own Lost Oddessey I can't comment on it as I've only ever tested it to see if it works.

Fallout 3 however has kept me playing for 6 months so far with nearly 60 hours of gameplay registered. I'm getting near the "End" now simply because I've been advancing the storyline as I felt I've spent enough time with it now, however there are still dozens of unsolved sidequests I havn't scraped the surface of and once I finish it there are four downloadable expansion packs for it.

It does a brilliant job of matching the original 2 games in scope and despite its many bugs its a real gem.

Well, I've been playing some of the original Fable, and so far it's been pretty good. Might have to give Fable II a go.

peteraugusts · 8th April 2010

Dragon Age: Origins and Fallout 3. The map, the story, the DLC, and best of all, the violence. It's bloody and fun simply put!

Karyyk · 8th April 2010

Lost Odyssey is great. If you yearn for an old-school Final Fantasy game, this is as close as you're likely to get to it this console generation. That's probably no surprise since it's developed by Mistwalker, which was founded by the "creator" of the Final Fantasy series, Hinorobu Sakaguchi. The battle system will be instantly familiar, and the story is top-notch (gut wrenching in places, particularly the flashback interludes). The music is also composed by Nobuo Uematsu, who's done those duties on countless RPG's, particularly Final Fantasy, so there's another connection. It's highly-recommended...

Other than that, I was highly pleased with Fallout 3, Dragon Age and Mass Effect as well.

The ones I have enjoyed the most are.
Fallout 3
Oblivion
Fable 2
Mass Effect

Is there a stand-alone boxed Game of the Year edition of Oblivion on X360 like there is on PS3, or do you basically just have to get the game and then download the DLC?

There is a GOTY for 360.

Damn, I've never seen it anywhere. It seems like 90% of the PS3 versions you see in stores are GotY editions, but 100% of the X360 copies I see in stores are the regular editions.

Betagam7 · 4th January 2011

I should say that Lost Odyssey did turn out to be a very fun title once I got into it. I particularly enjoyed the unlockable prose stories that were brilliantly translated from the Japanese.

I thought the PS3 only got the GotY edition, didn't even know there were regular editions of that.

There are.

So has anyone here played Resonance of Fate? I haven't yet myself, but I'm looking forward to getting it eventually. I'm kind of surprised to not see it mentioned.

Is there a PS3 recommendations thread? It might be mentioned over there.

I'm surprised, too. It looks really good.

So far, Mass Effect, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and Tales of Vesperia have made me glad I own a 360.

I hear Lost Odyssey is one of the better 360 RPGs, and it's pretty cheap, so you might want to check it out.

Had it and sold it to PoisonRamune. I'll rebuy it someday, though, I never really gave it a chance.
