New Game for Christmas

by Evangel Fri Oct 22, 2010 5:20 am

I'm really on the fence on what video game I want to ask for for Christmas.

It comes down to ~~four~~ five games:
~ "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West" - Ever since I seen the first trailer I wanted this game so bad! It's only a single-player game, but it is an AMAZING single-player game. If you don't know what it is, YouTube it. Basically it's a modernized/ futuristic take on the ancient Chinese story "Journey to the West".

~ "Mass Effect 2" - Finally downloaded the demo for this a month or two ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the RPG/ Shooter aspect of it.

~ "Medal of Honor" - Initially, I thought "BF: BC 3". But as more and more content was released on the net, I started to come on to it more and more. I watched the entire campaign on a gaming site (although the commentator was an IDIOT) and I thought it was friggin' awesome! The multiplayer, however is "meh".

~ "Call of Duty: Black Ops" - I thought MW2 was great. I absolutely LOVED the campaign. The multiplayer was great, too, but had it's faults and frustrations. It looks like Treyarch is pulling out all the stops on this one and making up for Activision's failed involvements with Infinity Ward.

~ "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II" - Disintegrating Storm Troopers and and using Mind Trick to make them commit suicide. Need I say more?

So it's between an Action/ Adventure, a RPG/ 3rd Person Shooter, FPS, FPS, and another Action/ Adventure.

You forgot New Vegas.

Fallout really isn't my thing. Yeah, it's similar to Mass Effect in that it has RPG elements, I just don't like it all that much. Watched a few vids of the first few minutes, couldn't get into it.

Shame. We lost another one.

I really don't know all too much about each one, but I would recommend Medal of Honor. Right now it looks like its much better than the soon to be new Black Ops. Your other RP's should have plenty of replay value anyways, so you really don't need another that often, though I do still recommend New Vegas like Cial ;)

Well, when it comes to replayability, Black Ops, MoH, and ME2 have the most. Like I said, Enslaved is a single player game, and so is TFU2. Well, to my knowledge on the latter.

MoH caught my eye because of the Campaign. I don't necesarily like the multiplayer because the classes are set with some unlocks.

Black Ops caught my eye because of the multiplayer. I love how customizable everything is. Haven't seen much in terms of the Campaign. Plus, ZOMBIES!!!

I'm not sure if ME2 even has multiplayer. But the single player looks pretty extensive.

Black ops has zombies.

Enslaved looks amazing, but it seems like a rent game.

ME2 is actually great. Like. amg.

I'm going to say Black Ops.

Black ops all the way man. No comparison, if it wasnt black ops id choose Me@ or MOH

I agree with Star Wars and Enslaved. But I'm not fond of shooters so yeah :P

ME2 is $20 from Best Buy, plus come December my 3-month expires, I believe. Hopefully I can convince mi madre to renew me in November before the prices get jacked up.

I'm doing the Bing Bar thing to get MSP for the Reach DLC. I might end up getting a card.

I think I'll ask for Black Ops, ME2, 3-month gold, and maybe a 800 MSP card.
