RE: Recent Games Played - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
Having a 360 without Live is like having a PC without internet.
Pointless.

Who needs live? I have found no need for live, and the majority of 360 owners either have a silver account or don't even have live at all. There are plenty of ways to have fun without live. There are plenty of ways to have fun without playing on the internet. Live is not a necessary thing to enjoy 360, and it's hardly pointless to own one without live. I'm pretty sure your in the minority here.

17 million Live subscribers beg to differ.
So does the $1 billion spent on Xbox Live.

RE: Recent Games Played - FFX - Jan. 06, 2009
17 million on live, a bit more than half are gold, which means if we give them a high number of 13 million gold live, that means 4 million silver and 11 million unconnected. That is with me being generous on the live numbers.
Go fish.
RE: Recent Games Played - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
And where are you pulling this info from? Its easy to sling numbers around.

Sorry I was looking for the link and couldn't find it.
RE: Recent Games Played - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
Regardless, the majority of Live subscribers are Gold members, as the link you posted just showed.
Seeing as how Xbox Live is easily the biggest feature of the system, I'm pretty sure you are in the minority.
RE: Recent Games Played - FFX - Jan. 06, 2009
Majority yes. But then why discard those who aren't connected at all. I'm not connected at all. If we take number of non Gold and number of unconnected, it should still beat number of Gold accounts. The majority number can be as low as 8.6 million accounts. And lets not forget the accounts created from LIVE in the xbox era. And if the PR has been spun to include multiple accounts and stuff, the numbers aren't that impressive.
And really, is Live the biggest feature of the system? Do people buy it because it can connect to the internet? Is LIVE the selling point? Or is the selling point the exclusives that Xbox has? Do people buy it because they think "I get to play this console online, this is why I want the 360?". Or is it because "Hey, this Rock Band game is pretty fun, and you say that I can also have a karaoke system on it as well. And it can play DVD's? You say that my kids will love Halo?"
RE: Recent Games Played - Roan - Jan. 06, 2009
The point is, kids aren't the 360's target audience. Most owners of the system are in the older teen age group.
So yes, I do think Live is the biggest selling point, and I do think the staggering amount of games played over Xbox Live is a good indicator that the feature is a large one.
Also piss off you've gotten us way off topic.
RE: Recent Games Played - Rocky - Jan. 06, 2009
Back on topic, played Sonic The Hedgehog 3 for a bit. I seem to have an urge to play all the old Sonic games lately.
RE: Recent Games Played - Blue - Jan. 07, 2009
xbox 360 install base is like 28 million(npd). lol i don't think no live renders a 360 pointless.
imo its game library is its biggest selling point. hey silver members still access XBLA right?
played Assassins creed. its good but i hope it gets better, because somethings seem just to take too long. lol the middle eastern cities are the coolest, Acre is boring and ugly..
played some ps2 games, I think they look pretty sweet even though the image is softer. Killzone is still fun to run and gun. GT4 in widescreen. Budokai 3 looked great.
played Burnout P with Kei, though we were short a few players....=|

When I said a 360 without live was pointless, I wasn't just referring to online gaming. There's so much more that Live offers the 360 that you can't get without being connected (either Silver or Gold -- doesn't matter). Granted, Gold members benefit the most (online gaming, Netflix, etc.), but that's the way it should be as they are paying for the service.
Silver members still get all of the free patches and free demos as well as paid items like expansion packs and Xbox Live Arcade games. Maybe my statement was a bit too sweeping, but for me personally, I can't imagine having a 360 without it being connected to Live in some fashion. Sure the games are just as important, but when the biggest exclusive games are pushing the multiplayer aspects (Halo 3 and Gears 2, specifically) as the feature that will give the games longevity, I can't imagine buying a 360 to play those games offline. Just doesn't make sense to me. Plus I have built lasting friendships with people I've met or gotten to know better playing games with via Live, and that's something that's important to me.
ANYWAY I'M DONE WITH THIS CONVERSATION NOW.
I played a lot more Fallout 3 last night. Found the village of tree-worshiping weirdos and finished that side quest among a few others. I also played some Gears 2 a little bit ago with Artie.

Blue Dragon
Lost Oddysey
Blue Dragon is just very horridly generic.
Lost Oddysey's story thus far has been very "WTF?" and hasn't done much new either.
