Um..... I think you're in luck. There is a little known game called Titanfall. Kinda has a cult following. You might be able to find a copy.
They just came out with a xbox 360 version this past week, but the game is strictly online only, so that doesn't work then.
Yea no go for 360.
Hey guys, I'd really like a role-playing game where you wander around the countryside doing quests, casting spells, and killing monsters in a fantasy D&D type setting. Have they made any games like that? (If not, I'll settle for a game where you steal cars and run from the cops -- I'm just spit-balling ideas here).Yankee23Fan said:
If you can get it cheap it's worth it but despite the heavy praise here it's pretty hollow and repetitive. It looks great but the 95% of the game is either climbing to the top of annoyingly created platform jumping not intended for FPS or attacking/ taking over enemy encampments. The only occasional real in the monotony is hunting game or the obligatory timed race.
Too bad about that. World of Tanks would be perfect I would think. No real gore that I am aware of. Enough complexity to be interesting. But I think you have to be online to play.
Just not ready to go there yet. We are still in the learning to trust playing video games without us in the room mode. He will get there but not yet. Yes I am probably overprotective with my kids.
Nothing - I don't get that sarcasm either - you had a pretty valid question. There simply aren't a lot of mech games for the 360.

Sorry -- just giving you a hard time. You were asking about whether there were any Xbox games about mechs literally a week or so after exactly such a game just launched. (Albeit multiplayer only).
Lots of predators out there. My son plays Minecraft, and I found out some 35 year old dude from Philly was chatting in game with my son and his friend (asked them where they lived etc). It was a server that just his friends were on, but then one of them invited him. My son said "he's cool", and I had to explain the whole deal and told him no more multiplayer. I also chatted with the Philly guy and told him I'd be reporting this to a friend of mine in the FBI (which I did), to which he replied he didn't do anything wrong. I told him he wouldn't have to worry about anything then , but oddly he stopped going to that server according to my son's friends. Better safe than sorry.
Damn. My TFC clan had guys (and a couple of girls) from ages 10 to 50 in it. You make it sound like what we did is a bad thing. But I don't think I've met nicer guys in my life. I'm still in contact with most of those guys, even though most of them don't even play video games any longer.
Depends I guess to the level the guy was asking. If it was a simple "Hey, where are you from?" then it seems like that was probably overkill. If it was "Hey, what is your address?" then I can see being more concerned.
Granted, in my position, we never really learned who people were and where they were from until they had been in the group for a while. I'll also mention that we really only had a couple of people below the age of 16. Clan rule was you had to be 18, but we made some rare exceptions for those who could prove that they were more mature and unfortunately we still had to make exceptions when it came to requirements of making practices and game times. I guess the big difference is that most of them came to us to join after playing in a pub we were in.
Do you live in Philly
) we have an 18+ rule to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Then they shouldn't be playing multiplayer games. All ages play these, and really, age is kind of out the window once you're playing.Do you live in Philly
This guy was saying things like "where do you live?" The A/S/L questions. He may have meant no harm, but men shouldn't be chatting with 11 year olds. It's fine to play the same game, but building a relationship is over the line. I know you aren't like that and not everyone is a predator, but in general I don't want my kids chatting with adult strangers. In my league (
Its a fine line cause its your kid. In my mind I would probably knee jerk say no more multiplayer. But I wouldn't report a guy to the FBI.Then they shouldn't be playing multiplayer games. All ages play these, and really, age is kind of out the window once you're playing.Do you live in Philly
Listen, I agree that if they are trying to get an actual address, yea, that's creepy. Or if it goes beyond the game lobby and to e-mail or whatever, sure. Way over the line.
Kind of think you overreacted here. If you are this concerned (and it's your right to be), you need to pull the plug.
With the Xbone, at least, I've turned off all that stuff for my younger kid. Titanfall is pretty bloodless and he just jumps in and tries to lasso his umpteenth Titan.
And what 35 year old guy plays with a headset (other than with old friends or their own kids I guess). Just hearing the stuff that is said online makes me weep for our future.
Fine line for sure. I would say the FBI is a bit of an overreaction - this just isn't that uncommon if you are gaming with people over a few hours. That said, being that it's minecraft makes it a bit more attention-getting, though.
I don't really do online but don't you need a headset to communicate with the team or whatever?
Eh, if you have a team you always play with or whatever, I guess. If you just jump around from game to game, then there's very little coordination (from what I've seen). Most of the comments are about people's ethnicity, sexual preferences, fighting prowess, and mothers. Whole lot of negativity up in there.
From what I gather, he was playing on PC. It's not uncommon for people to use headset on PC, regardless if you're actually talking into it.
I don't play online but I used a headset on PC. Better sound and more immersive. FEAR was killer in a dark room with headset on.The FBI guy was a fraternity brother, and I mentioned it in passing because I told the guy I was going to (mainly trying to scare him off, which worked). My son doesn't play online in general but I let him in this case because it was a "private" server.
Yes, I fully realize I'm a dork for playing PC games with a headset
Sorry for the hijack
Smite's very fun.
I played the original aliens vs predator in a dark room with my headset. My wife walked in from behind and touched my shoulder, and I literally flipped my office chair over. She still laughs at me for that. Had I not gone to the bathroom 30 minutes prior I would have peed all over the place.I don't play online but I used a headset on PC. Better sound and more immersive.
