Mr. House 3,371 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I'm mostly looking for exclusives, multiplatform games that are not on STEAM (360 version usually is better than the PS3 version), games that haven't been ported to newer platforms and games with exclusive content on 360. So far I bought: Ace Combat 6 Ace Combat Assault Horizon Alpha Protocol Anarchy Reigns (sealed) Bayonetta (not the best version but I already had it) Crackdown DOA Xtreme 2 Fable II Game of Thrones (It's on PC but I figure it will be delisted at some point due to licensing issues) Infinite Undiscovery Kameo Elements of Power Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom NeverDead Ninety Nine Nights Otomedius Excellent Project Sylpheed Ridge Racer 6 Soul Calibur IV TNA Impact The Darkness Too Human I'm currently hunting for those games (I might not get all of them): 50 Cents Blood on the Sand Armored Core 4 Beautiful Katamari Blue Dragon Conan Crackdown 2 Dead or Alive 4 Def Jam Icon Driver San Francisco Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard FEAR (on PC but pretty expensive on 360, worth collecting) Full Auto Import Tuner Challenge Kengo Legend of the Nine Konami Classics Vol 1 Lost Odyssey Magna Carta 2 Mayhem 3D Ninety Nine Nights 2 Ninja Blade Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad Operation Darkness Rumble Roses XX Samurai Shodown Sen Sneak King (and the other 2 Burger King games) Splatterhouse Stranglehold The Simpsons Game Wet I know it already cover quite a lot but I can't help but shake the feeling I'm forgetting some important games/hidden gems.

Mr. House 3,371 Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 By the way, I paid 240$ for the whole collection and is currently valued at 350$. I think it's a good time to invest in 360 games. PS3 games got pricier faster but I expect 360 versions to follow a similar trajectory, just a bit lower and slower.

Lol as a hobby this seems annoying, but as a money flip it seems like a lot of effort for such a small return, and it's all speculation on a random commodity.

TLHBO 2,170 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Xbox systems are the worst to collect for It probably has the smallest percentage of games that will drastically increase in value. Hope you have a 360 slim too because that og pile of shit wont be working by the time you want to play these games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I enjoy it a lot, seeing a bunch of old games, playing them for the first time or rediscovering them, nothing wrong with that. It doesn't take much effort for someone who is already invested in video games. I wouldn't recommend this to a bunch of casual gamers who don't know better, because good luck on making a profit with Call of Duty or whatever is popular these days. It's the niche games that pays and that's my expertise because that's all I played for the past 30 years. But you're not wrong, we're speculating on things that have generally low ROI for the time it takes to gain value. Unless it's some holy grail. I had quite a lot of games that turned a few hundred dollars in profit per game. But yeah, those are the exceptions, not the rule. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OG Xbox has some pricey stuff. 360 games are valued lower than their PS3 counterparts but they follow similar increase in value. The time to collect for PS3 has pretty much passed. 360 will be in a similar situation in a few years. It's Xbox One and Series X where I can't see a future for collectors. No exclusives whatsoever is gonna harm that platform appeal quite a lot. The only exclusive I know on Xbone is Rare Replay collection... That's just fucking sad. And yeah, 360 faulty hardware is not helping. But like you said there's the slim model and Xbone also has BC for a lot of games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sugarhigh 519 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I still like the 360 version of Oblivion for having full controller support. The PC version is very KB+M and the menus aren't easy to map with Steam Input. Same deal with Morrowind on OG Xbox. Looking back on some of these 360-exclusive lists, it's barely an essential console anymore. Gears of War 2 is the only one I'd go back to. Maybe Project Gotham 3.

I thought about buying ES III and IV but nah, they're so much better on PC it's not even funny. There's no such thing as an essential console that is old. Lmao. PS3 exclusive library that hasn't been ported is just as lackluster as 360's, perhaps even worse. Resistance and Motorstorm aren't in the upper echelon of gaming masterpieces. I keep forgotten about the Project Gotham games. PG3 is like 5$. Good call. Also, I was pretty sure Gears 2 got ported but both Gears 2 and 3 are still exclusive to 360? I figured Microsoft would have ported the original trilogy already. I guess they don't do it because of BC. Thanks, you've give me more games to look into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess they don't do it because of BC. Thanks, you've give me more games to look into. I guess "essential" is a made-up idea, but here's some factors for scoring: - it's still better to play natively than via emulation - there are goat games you can only play, or best play on the system - there are a lot of games you can't play anywhere else PS3 is absolutely still an essential console, and it's not even close. For systems like SNES, PS2, Dreamcast, emulators are really good, but lots of people would still rather play native versions. With PS3, actually playable emulation is still in the early phases. Major trilogies (!!!) like Resistance and Motorstorm are still best played on PS3 and they're not even the best games PS3 has to offer. With 360, emulation is not very interesting because nearly all its best games got superior native PC ports. I might keep a 360 around to play Read Dead Redemption. There's a case where a classic game never came to PC, and it's the best version. Edited July 10, 2023 by sugarhigh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sabo 448 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Ninja Gaiden II. 360 version is the best version, Sigma 2 is basically a different game because it changed so much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Resistance, Motorstorm, Folklore, Siren and 3D Dot Game Heroes aren't GOAT games. The fact is that most really great games of that generation has been ported elsewhere already. What remains aren't the best games and somehow 360 has more exclusives now. I'm waiting on the Red Dead remaster rumors floating around. Seems very plausible to me that it will happen. 36 minutes ago, Sabo said: Ninja Gaiden II. 360 version is the best version, Sigma 2 is basically a different game because it changed so much.

Those aren't the goats, but those and a lot of games better than 50 Cent Blood in the Sand are still locked away on the Cell processor. The goats still exclusive are MGS4, Dark Souls (tho the PS5 version is great), Infamous 1&2, and Killzone 2&3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Souls was never exclusive, you mean Demon's Souls and yep, it's not exclusive anymore. Just sold my Collector Edition not long ago for about 200$. I have another English/Asia version. Lol. Infamous is whatever. But I do have a soft spot for Killzone on PS3. I thought KZ2 was pretty cool aside the input latency. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 I found a couple more games. John Woo Stranglehold Dante's Inferno Omerta City of Gangsters The Saboteur Xcom The Bureau SSX (just bought it for 9$) Dreamcast Collection (Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Sega Bass Fishing, Space Channel 5) None are on PC, well, except the collection but it's already worth quite a bit and I want it.
