So many games? Which to buy?

Post by weaponepsilon »

Okay so I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted to get with my stack of Gamestop gift cards, but now I'm not sure. There are way too many cool ass games to get this season and I don't know where to start! Modern Warfare 3, Zelda:Skyward Sword, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Skyrim! I'm a freaking kid in a candy store and only able to choose a very small handful and for literally any system! ARGH! You guys looking for anything cool this holiday season?

Do you want 12 year-olds calling you names while you play?

Zelda:Skyward Sword


Do you want to waggle like mad and make lots of arrow shooting motions?
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Do you want to play a slight variation of the same game you've likely played three times already?
Skyrim
Do you want to engage in a hundred plus hours of exploring a pretty world while fighting a poor combat engine and a zillion of those trademark Bethesda bugs?

Hahaha, dsheinem is being snarky but I basically agree. The games listed are either lackluster or in the case of Modern Warfare 3, the worst game of all time.

dsh definitely answered that question the way that I feel most of us would.

You might get some people suggesting Zelda, but I personally have about zero interest in Ass Creed or MW3

Get Skyward Sword and Skyrim, then wait 3-5 months to get MW3 and AC: Revelations, it's not like the online community of MW3 is going to die in that time :roll: plus most AC get huge price drops after a few months.

No, a bad game needs to be unplayable and just terrible in most aspects (Visuals, audio, controls, etc.). I have yet to play a COD that's like that and BTW Big Rigs is arguably the worst game of all time.

I know I'll be getting Ass Creed Revelations, just not at full RRP. None of these games have been reviewed yet..

Skyward Sword already's gotten a few reviews actually.
