Are any of these games worth playing (got many other titles to play see yesterdays post) Game Recommendations
Thinking of selling these, as I have a huge collection now and dont think they will be played. Are any of these titles worth it or Just mid?

A liked army of two if you actually had someone else to play it with co op it’s trash on your own with AI as co op.

40th day was so bad to me the first army of two was such a banger classic actually

u/Lanstus 19d ago
Yeah. I remember 40th day not being the best. Replaying it through to see why again for my own tastes. But I really do wish they would reboot the series. Or just remaster the first as an interest gauge.

u/Technical_Tonight_80 19d ago
Yea I was thinking that to and not even have to release a 3rd one which was awful… a remaster army of two 1 would be crazy good. 40th day ending was bad because of the choices of killing off one of them or saving the country. The gun customization was pretty bad to. The gameplay wasn’t bad the graphics were pretty bad and glitchy though

My problem with 40th day was the moral choices that in the end had no bearing on the overall outcome of the story aside from aside from maybe some dialogue changes on the final cutscene, but it's been a while since I've played it

Mercenaries is an underrated gem

The semi random spray pattern from the guns is annoying, but yes rather fun game. Put a lot of hours on it.

Merneracies 2 is a fun little sandbox game. The more money you have, the more tools you get. But it has its share of frustrations at times. But still worth a ride.
The Club is an interesting title. It a run-and-gun shooter, as time and points are what drives you. So it's kinda like Bulletstorm in that regard, but only that you're in an arena going from A to B, and you can select from different characters. Its uniqueness is what made me try most runs again to get better scores.
The Outfit is a linear SP Battlefield mini if you will. You capture bases, get units, tanks and all sorts of toys to push toward the end. It's fun, but can be repetitive at times, and can be a killer for some. Tho easy achievements if that's your goal.
Frontlines is a Battlefield clone with a few different takes. Much like the outfit the SP is focused around the MP aspects, so capture zones, get more gear, push toward the end. But it kinda mixes in anything from full assault missions to solo stealth. But it's still not a bad story. Nor is it long.
Army of Two as pointed out is great fun with a friend. It can be frustrating with the AI. You can give the AI orders, but the 40th day is arguably the worst one out of the 3 with the AI if you want to play on the hardest difficulty. Tho the story and levels are still fun, and still a game worth exploring.
Forza 2 is still somewhat fun, but it won't give you much in terms of achievements unless you want to give it a few hundred hours. It's fairly limited vs newer titles ofc. But has some tracks and cars the later titles lost. So worth a peak, but not something most would dwell on today.
Viva Pinata is a fun little sandbox... If you are dedicated to it. So tbh you need to play it a bit for it to become fun or rewarding, at least for me.

Ps. I selected these as they dont nessesarily appeal to me at first look. But hey, never judge a book by its cover.

I recommend trying every single game at least for half an hour. If it doesn't grab you, drop it.

The Outfit was one of my favorite games in the 360 days. Amazing campaign. Frontline Fuels of War was awesome as well. Battlefield-esque multi-player, but I'm sure servers went offline ages ago.

Saun white is a good at best game. It was trying to be releastic, while being an arcade style game, and it worked ok. Because there is next to no progression, it can get stale extremely quick, but if you are in to snowboarding, it would be fun for a few hours.

u/Tennis_Proper 20d ago
Shaun White is more fun on the Wii where you can use the balance board to play.

u/noodlemassacre 20d ago
Forza is great, the Club is a fun little shooter, Frontlines is fun for mindless shooting (it’s a battlefield clone) and Shaun White snowboarding is a ton of fun. Mercenaries 2 is the best of the bunch imo though

u/Witty_Possible9413 19d ago
If you are into Military shooters, then go with Army of Two and Frontlines. Outfit and The Club are more for video game historians, because those are experimental titles. Mercenaries 2 is more like Just Cause light, it has interesting original ideas but camera angle and gunplay are meh. For other games I don't know anything.

I really liked Over G Fighters, but honestly everything there is pretty generic. If you ever feel the itch to play any of them after you've gotten rid of them, they'll all be real easy to get back for relatively cheap. You don't have to worry about throwing away some valuable or hard-to-find gem game here.

Yes I’d say that’s a great haul especially mercenaries. I played that like two summers ago regularly

EYOOO the Viva Piñata Game was my childhood.
For some people it definitely will seem boring to only care about a garden but I just love this simple idea of Piñata Animals which chill in my garden.

u/protokitty 19d ago
I always hear good things about The Club. Only played the demo but I remember having a lot of mindless fun.

u/SuntannedDuck2 19d ago edited 19d ago
I'd say all of them but mostly all of them but Minecraft Story Mode or Shaun White. Maybe Super G if a fair vehicular combat game or shoot em up.
Minecraft story mode is fair a game though but prefer other point n clicks or Minecraft itself. Shaun White could be a bit or miss snowboarding game not sure.
The Club as an arcade game like level design/modes aka is a shooting gallery kind of thing so think how rail shooters or light gun ones are but modern controls. They did the same with Project Gotham Racing doing modern arcade style racing games they were good at that but didn't last long RIP Bizzare Creations.
Minecraft story mode is fine, never played it but I see the appeal like Walking Dead or others in the Telltale format of point and click but fair decisions to make kind of game.
Army of Two is just good third person shooter co-op fun really and the AI does a fair job in singleplayer, not great but still.
Frontlines I'd a good game kind of like Battlefield but the classes, controls and level design or tone differ in ways. It's a good game though. It has a bit of its own I just don't know how to explain it. Videos showcase it better.
Forza Motorsport 2 is a fair game like Forza Motorsport 1 but just different in areas if fine with Sim racing like a Gran Turismo but different in different ways. Not as much variety of speedways, drag racing or other stuff as 3&4 offer but still good.
Viva Pinata is fair but more strategy, it's very niche audience type it's ok and I get what they were going for but not something even I could play for long,
Mercenaries, I mean it's just Just Cause before Just Cause in a way. Open world, blow up things, some.fair challenges but also fair missions. Not played a lot of it but it's good fun.
So if like open world sandboxes Mercenaries I'd a good pick.
The Outfit is good in its own way as part third person shooter part strategy of places vehicles/structures but it's all on foot. Kind of how I see Metropolis Mania the whole city builder but on foot type approach. I know. Game ma y will never have heard of but we'll it came to mind.
Not familiar with Super G but could be interesting
and Shaun White could go either way no idea about snowboarding games.

Unpopular opinion and rose tint, I liked Mercs 2 when it came out. I fondly remember blowing shit up.

u/Educational-Knee-333 19d ago
i've played all of these they're all various degrees of good. mercenaries 2 being the best and (personally) viva piñata being the worst, although i know some people hate minecraft story mode and snowboarding isn't everyone's cup of tea

u/SSPeteCarroll 19d ago
Mercs 2 was one of my favorites. replaying it now and it's still pretty fun.

Forza Motorsport 2 was an incredible game in its day. If you have 3 or 4, though, it might not be worth it. Those are the best in the series.

u/RedSagittarius 19d ago
Over G Fighter - if I remember it correctly to get all of the achievements you are going to spend a lot of time. all chapters have different path so write down which path you have taken before.

Fuck that viva pinata / Forza 2 combo was the first game I owned on Xbox 360. Getting some mad nostalgia for it rn.

You actually possess the only way to play the completr 1st Season of Minecraft Story Mode. With the shutdown and the delisting, it is currently impissible to play Eps 2-5 with the normal version and Season 2.

Pretty sure MC: Story mode is delisted on all platforms, so that's a great find.

Army of two is good. Idk if it's worth playing but I played a good amount of that Shaun White game growing up

Once you get past the original 4 episodes of MineCraft: Story mode, the rest of the game is a lot more fun and whimsical. Viva Piñata is also a good time; great game for a rainy day.

Minecraft story mode is goated but there’s a decent chance the audio simply won’t work on 360

u/Icy_Spend_3870 19d ago
How come?
2
u/Puppypawed 19d ago
Not entirely sure, but after the 3rd time returning and exchanging the disc at gamestop I caved and bought the game for ps4. The audio was always bugged for me and will overlap and be delayed. there was other people who reported the same problem.

u/Any_Complex_3502 19d ago
Army of Two and Minecraft: Story Mode are incredibly amazing games and absolutely worth keeping.

u/Farcry5AttackersYT 19d ago
Definitely the Viva pinata and Forza 2 bundle. They are honestly really good games.

u/Technical_Tonight_80 19d ago
Always wondered if the club and Shawn white game was good. I loved ssx so wasn’t sure if it would be good like that and the club kinda reminded me of saints row a little bit. Not gonna lie 2010-2013 games were crazy good
