No they won't. Because the majority of wireless USB devices need you to install drivers for them to work and there's no way to install drivers onto the 360.


I hate to tell you this brother, but yes they will. Its kind of a pain in the arse but it can be done with almost any USB adapter.

Its a deceptively very good game. It doesn't seem like it when you turn it on because the graphics are just so so (they aren't bad by any stretch but they do look a hair dated) but the action is very very fluid and you find yourself engrossed in it very quickly. For a sandbox game it is quite good.

re: Xbox 360 is a shittey system

I own all 3 and have a 1080p TV. I can't tell the difference. The game selection for the 360 is far better than the PS3 and the gamerscore system is fun. I only use my PS3 for bluray, MGS, and Resistance for the most part. I do netflix, and most of my gaming on the 360.

I also highly doubt that they tone down a game for cross platform games, that is because I don't believe they have come close to reaching the potential of the PS3. I think within the next few years it will be clearly superior but who knows, Microshaft may have the next gen xbox out by then.

I see technologies like OnLive, if the hype is to be believed, as putting a hurting on console gaming in the future.

I haven't played a RPG since the days of Chronotrigger and Secret of Mana. I own a 360, what RPG should I pickup? I just want something fun and not retardedly hard.


If those are your style of RPG, then go for Lost Odyssey. Tales of Vesperia isn't bad if you can get past the cartoony characters. Star Ocean is an underrated RPG as well. However the best RPGS overall are Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect are the best of the best. Pick up Fable if you just want a good game but if you are used to trigger and mana it isn't the same kind of RPG.
It all comes down to perspective. I don't consider Fable II to be a true RPG. It is more of a hack and slash adventure game than anything. I love both games but for different reasons.

Oblivion was a true RPG that you can play long after you finished the main story line, or finish re-roll as a different archetype and start over for a 100% different experience. Oblivion has a very deep character development system that as of yet is hard to match. An archer truly plays different than a brawler which is night and day to a magic user. Oblivion also has a very robust economy that forces you to be somewhat frugal for a long period prior to gaining enough wealth to be self sufficient. The story actually plays a secondary role to exploring and doing side quests.

Graphically I don't think it is arguable that Fable isn't far superior, but there is only a quarter of the area to explore. Fable you play one way as either evil or good (I thought it was weird how you are either the spawn of satan who eats children or the messiah with no real middle ground) that really does not effect overall gameplay much. You can try to be a magic user or fighter or what ever but the basic gameplay is still just mashing a button and swinging something and tossing in the occasional spell. The economy is also way jacked up. You can be rich beyond what you can possibly need very quickly and with the lack of difference making items in the game money becomes trivial far to quickly. The NPC interactions are also priceless and 2nd to none in the gaming industry. You can sit in the town square for hours watching people freak out or laugh hysterically at your farts. The story line was pretty incredible and almost overshadows the actual game.

One focuses on the character and it's development and the other focuses on the game environment and the story. All in all both games are great games but they just don't fit into the same category and it is disingenuous to say one is better than the other.

You can get up to the point of the end of the game and keep playing as long as you like before entering the last building without having to download BS. You can even accept and complete other quests should you want to. The game will simply keep the main quest open as there is no benefit or gain in completing the final main quest it really doesn't hurt anything other than you miss out on the conclusion of the story. You can still play as long as you like. Also you could download BS and play to level 30 prior to completing the main story line if that tickles your fancy.

Short version, if you don't want to finish the main quest before doing something, then simply don't.
