So...What to play?

Duke Juker · RSBandB Donor since 07/01/2010

I have lots of games now, but as always, I get bored with them quickly. Perhaps time for the next thing? I usually lag in purchase time of "new games" by about a year or two depending how much price changes in that time. I always wait for a better price. A few games have passed my eye that I'm finally considering would be worth purchase now. Keep in mind, this is all for PC.

1. Call of Duty: World at War- This is the 5th title in the Call of Duty Series and looked like a decent play. I have enjoyed all the CoD games except for the newest ones (MW2 I've played little and I haven't tried Black Ops at all yet). This game is now around $30 or less.

2. Starcraft 2- It hasn't been long, but after watching some footage, I'm impressed. This game has excellent graphics and gameplay (not to mention good storyline and cinematic to boot). The game is currently around $45 online w/ shipping included. I'm down for that. $15 less from the original price is pretty good in a short time.

3. Medal of Honor (new game)- This EA game, though new, is already down below $25, which leads me to believe it's not that great. I've seen a few bad reviews of the game which haven't impressed me with it, but I'm still willing to give it a shot.

So there you have it. Three PC games I'm considering getting. Of those, which would you recommend and why. Or if you think these are all crap games, let me know. Should I wait even longer to buy them or just never try them at all. You guys seem to know your gaming stuff. Are there any game you would recommend aside from these? I have a vast list of games already and most the popular titles. But if you think there is something everyone should have for PC, by all means, throw it out there. Thanks in advance, my gamer bros.

All I can say is that I don't recommand Cod: WaW. Call of Duty is easily the most overrated and overhyped series in gaming history. Don't get this wrong, CoD 4 is a great game BUT any CoD game beyond that is a pure copy 'n' paste. And WaW is probably one of the worst out of the series. And MW2 is clearly the most overrated game in history. Over hyped aswel.

StarCraft 2 is great. It is even better when you have enjoyed the first one. If you like strategy games, Starcraft won't disapoint you. I assure.

And Medal of Honor. Well I haven't tried it but if it's below $25 like you said and I had the money, I would buy it. It's cheap, if it's good, I made a great deal. If it sucks, I lost at worst $25. Boooohooo I'm sure you're totally ruined after that. Plus, if you like army games, I don't see why it would be bad. Unless it really really sucks.

I hope it helps you, but it probably won't XD

Out of those three, I'd go with SC2. I played it pretty extensively from Sept-Jan. One thing that's annoying is that if you really aren't that good, then the multiplayer can get really boring if you end up losing a lot of the time. The campaign is stellar though.

I haven't played the other two to be honest, so I don't feel qualified to comment on them.

Not sure how much longer it's going on, but Metal of Honor is $7.50 for a bit longer... Can't go wrong at that price.

Deal is done..

Black Ops was the first cod I've ever played but I bought WaW because it was $20 mostly to see the campaign but after playing the multiplayer I don't really see why people don't like it but again it's not like I've played mw1 and only like 20 min of mw2 (I bought mw1 yesterday [for campaign] since it was cheap but I haven't opened it yet since I got charged double the price.....). I think people don't like using the wwii weapons but idk they're guns that shoot bullets and kill people I dunno why it matters. On ps3 at least not a lot of people play anymore though (some game types have like 0 people playing). It's not that its hard to find a tdm but I don't like how if there is a map pack map that comes up it wont tell you until the games about to start and then kicks you out of the lobby XD (maybe it wasn't like that when it had lots of people playing.. maybe lots of people do still play on pc.. idk) But Black Ops is a lot superior so if I want to play a cod game, don't see at this point investing lots of time into WaW and if I get the max level probably wont prestige.

Don't even go on my opinion since I know absolutely nothing but I'd get sc2

Great last sentence. "Don't listen to me, but here's what I suggest..."

Thanks for the input. Of all three, I'd like to get SC2 the most. I probably will get the other two eventually, but I might wait until the month (and school) are over first. Oh, and I've learned not to buy EA games online. Better to get the physical copy. Lost my BFBC2 account when I reformatted my hard drive with the game on it and the serial key. That made me unhappy.

Getting EA stuff through Steam is a good idea, since it's always tied to your account, no matter what hardware problems you might have.

just remember about sc2. you'll get your butt kicked by korean americans so fast that you would have no idea wth to do.

and don't bother with world at war.

if you want to play the single player, then sure but online play for pc is lacking. can't really find any good servers there without being 6 people 2 of which are camping with their own army tents.
