I have decided to get a new (to me) game after Mothership Zeta drops for Fallout 3. Now is your chance to sway my decision.

I picked my list of 6 games from games that interested me, games I've heard about here, and games that get high ratings on Metacritic.

Even when you vote still tell me why you are suggesting said game as I tend to be a fairly picky gamer.

Dakar V · Jun 25, 2009, 04:01 PM

Jesus, I wish Fable II got this much DLC. Should have made it multiple choice.

What's your preference, multi or single player type game?

sek929 · Jun 25, 2009, 04:04 PM

Well I own mostly multi games, and I just dumped months into a single-player game.

Soo....

I'd say something with good multi is a plus, but not a necessity. Nowadays I tend to only play with people I know when it comes to multi...

jokell82 · Jun 25, 2009, 04:08 PM

I voted Red Faction, only because if I was buying a game right now that's what I'd pick up.

Dakar V · Jun 25, 2009, 04:12 PM

Alright, well, I'll let you sort it out then.

I'll recommend either Burnout: Paradise or Fable II.
I won't list all of Burnout's strengths, but obviously the multi improves with the more people we know, and the single-player can be time-consuming both in good or bad ways. It's cheap, though you should probably spend at $10 on the Island.

Fable is also a great game, which I liken to a mature Link meets a MMORPG. It can also be a huge time sink, depending how crack addicted you get to earning gold and renown while doing side-quests and or leveling up.

At the bottom of my list of recs would be CoD and Red Faction. CoD seems dumb to buy. Come 4 months we'll probably all be cracking out on a better version. Red Factions multi got great reviews, but none of us own it, and the single-player has been panned.

The remaining two I have no opinion on.

Stogieman · Jun 25, 2009, 04:12 PM

Why isn't Lips on your poll?

The game, not your girlfriend's.

sek929 · Jun 25, 2009, 04:14 PM

The thought of singing a duet with Dakar online sends shivers down my spine.

Unless, do they have Sonny and Cher?

Dakar V · Jun 25, 2009, 04:16 PM

I'll pick Burnout, but let it be known its merely because then we'll get your ass online occasionally.

sek929 · Jun 25, 2009, 04:17 PM

So be it.

Dakar V · Jun 25, 2009, 04:17 PM

PUBLIC POLL!? What is this crazy ****?!

sek929 · Jun 25, 2009, 04:18 PM

Thats how I roll.

Dakar V · Jun 25, 2009, 04:19 PM

I should make a thread called "Pick a new game for Jawbone54" and fill it all with 360 exclusives.

Rumor · Jun 25, 2009, 06:30 PM

Better yet, throw the names into a hat, then play them in the order they were drawn.

sek929 · Jun 25, 2009, 07:03 PM

You're talking to a currently unemployed persom there Rumah.

klb5090 · Jun 25, 2009, 08:00 PM

I'm voting for...Burnout Paradise

for two reasons
1. Its awesome, the amount of hours you can dump into this game is insane, not to mention multiplayer which is by far the best racing multiplayer in a long time. Also me and dakar have spent HOURS doing really nothing (no races/missions but just crazy s****). You will love this game and it will consume your life, for 20$ plus 10$ for Big Surf Island, there is no way you will get this many hours of awesome gameplay with 30$ anywhere else

2. I would vote Mass Effect because of its INSANE reviews, but i've played it and i hate it. Fallout 3 smokes it in gameplay and size and truthfully i felt it was boring with no story that i gave a s**** about.

Am I the only one who hates racing games?

Dakar V · Jun 25, 2009, 09:02 PM

Apparently. Particularly if you really mean the word hate.

Stogieman · Jun 25, 2009, 11:11 PM

Yes.

I wasn't a huge fan of racing games but Burnout Paradise is just way too awesome. Bogues is right, you can spend hours just messing around the city and still have tons of fun.

That's why I chose Burnout. It's the cheapest one of the bunch.

Stogieman · Jun 29, 2009, 02:32 PM

So it looks like Fatty picked the game that no one voted for.

klb5090 · Jun 29, 2009, 09:51 PM

maybe it was a reverse poll, buy whichever has the least amount of votes

sek929 · Jun 29, 2009, 10:59 PM

Actually, my friend is so into Nazi Zombies he bought the game provided I buy the DLC.

I still plan on getting another game after Zeta though.

ajprice · Jun 30, 2009, 04:30 AM

Burnout Paradise, there's lots of DLC, its got good single and multi player games, and you will have these words stuck in your head...

Take me down to the Paradise City
where the grass is green and the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home?

You should of got COD4 so you could snipe to your hearts desire with Bogues

KCrosbie · Jun 30, 2009, 01:41 PM

Damnit Fatty! Just get Burnout already! We're tired of waiting for you! Do it now!

sek929 · Jun 30, 2009, 10:35 PM

Burnout is the tentative champion, I just hope the multi hasn't gotten old for you guys by the time I get it.

Chimpmaster · Jul 1, 2009, 01:46 AM

call of duty 4 is a fair bit better than number 5.

sek929 · Jul 1, 2009, 10:55 AM

No Nazi Zombies and it's getting replaced by it's sequel come November. I find it foolish to buy CoD4 this late in the game.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 10:57 AM

In 2012?

And MW2 will now seem even more awesome by comparison.

sek929 · Jul 1, 2009, 11:00 AM

After Mothership Zeta you silly billy.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 11:01 AM

Mothership Zeta?

sek929 · Jul 1, 2009, 11:06 AM

The last Fallout 3 DLC, which is slated for late July.

The "Point Lookout" add-on is such a cool idea. We went there for vacation a few years ago when I was back East.

No primary experience with those on the list, although my wife likes Mass Effect.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 11:35 AM

I love it when I get quoted by someone who will use the post out of context.

My Unarmed is like, 40 or something.

klb5090 · Jul 1, 2009, 01:53 PM

Mine is like 35, I never plan on being "unarmed", I've been saving my alien blaster to show the mothership what I found

::maroma:: · Jul 1, 2009, 02:12 PM

I neglected my unarmed skill as well. I ain't scared of no aliens anyhow. I'll kick em in their equivalent to our nads.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 02:15 PM

Yeah, me too.

sek929 · Jul 1, 2009, 02:28 PM

Either buy F3 or you are banned from discussing it.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 02:29 PM

Yeah, sorry for posting in the F3 thread.

sek929 · Jul 1, 2009, 02:31 PM

Whatever, Fable-boy, go back to your multiple husbands.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 02:31 PM

Your jealousy: It is showing

sek929 · Jul 1, 2009, 02:33 PM

I can't wait to tea-bag you with my car's tailpipe in Burnout.

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 02:34 PM

Stop it, you're making my mouth water.

uhhhhhhhhh

Dakar V · Jul 1, 2009, 02:42 PM

Nice, that finally killed the thread.

Who knows, you killed it, so now we'll never know what I could have been convinced to buy.
