    ok gay thread i know, but i need opinions bad, im stuck!

    I just bought NHL13 and its TERRIBLE! im taking it back and buying a different game, but now i dont know which one.....


    my thoughts are..... Xbox btw

    - Skyrim (played it before, only got about 5% done)

    - Masseffect 1, 2, and 3- Ok never played MassEffect but i hear its Amazing.......Can anyone shed light on Mass Effect for me
    -ive watched yt vids of gameplay, i cant put my finger on it

    - Saints Row 3- well looks fun to me, goofy to boot

    - FPS- im so lost when it comes to fps, i only play offline so Campaign is HUGE for me (even multiplayer campaign if possible)

    - Sims 3- gay but ive always been a sims junky



    Please leave your thoughts, points, opinions

    Lol NHL 13 is wonderful if you actually know what you're doing.
    Sims 3 is only good on PC, so don't get it on Xbox.
    Saints Row 3 has no replayability, although it is pretty fun the first time through. Get Saints Row 2 for a more lasting experience, though.

    Mass Effect is the best game series ever created.

    But Far Cry 3 is also amazing.

    i personally hated the Mass Effect games, and Skyrim is alright, The Sims just gets boring too fast, Saints Row has almost no replay value, and FPS games are just gay.
    i game with allot of free roam that i would suggest would be Borderlands, Deus Ex Human Revolution, GTA/Red Dead/LA NOIRE, or Just Cause 2.
    hope this helps man

    lol at blitzkow saying fps are gay then the first two games you recomend are first person shooters.


    i would suggest the mass effect trilogy. so much fun content to be had there and the choices carrying on for three games is like nothing you have ever expierenced before. but you really cant go wrong with skyrim or far cry 3 either

    it isnt as open ended as fallout as far as going anywhere any time but the connection to the characters and the choices you make no matter how small shaping the world around you is really unparalleled.

    The Dead Space series is amazing, I'm sure you will not be disappointed. Tremendous graphics, gameplay and a killer atmosphere.

    Boarderlands' graphics didnt bother you guys at all?

    I played the first one, and the characters looked like they were made out of Paper

    there we some issues with the first one,textures slow to render and such.i think alot of it is just the graphic style.i heard B2 fixed the issues though.
    idk,i can't forgive some graphic flaws for good gameplay...The Walking Dead is probably my favorite game this year and it had alot of technical problems.

    However, Saints Row *2* is still extremely fun to this day.

    Uhm, the first one had a multiplayer campaign too, that was like, the entire point of the game from the start.
    Also the graphics always looked good, it's just stylized. If you want something to look realistic, then you can look ANYWHERE else.
    Regardless, the second one still has REALLY improved graphics anyway, just crisper, cleaner, etc.

    Well, It's hard to say what people will enjoy enough to play again
    I've been replaying a few games that have really interesting story lines
    As far as I know they are not very well known and run for close to nothing price wise

    The Saboteur

    Legendary

    Singularity

    I will say Borderlands 2 Is amazing, felt less replayable this time around
    but I haven't seen the DLC yet and have many games to occupy my time.
    Compared to the first borderlands, much better.

    I play Fall out 3 from time to time as well
    I like it more than Vegas

    Also,
    Borderlands grew on me..
    I did think it looked odd at first.

    Buy:

    Assassin's Creed III

    the new Hitman

    Far Cry 3


    DISHONORED

    not Skyrim. You'll regret it.

    I thought it was cool until I started beating all the fun stuff and got left with the boring side missions and running around wanking off. Blah.

    Happy Wars - it's free on xbl (thanks to perm for telling me, now im hooked)

    Far Cry 3 is really good. but online is POOP!

    Hitman: Absolution

    +1 on Dead Space series. game is so underrated it's not even funny.

    if you have never played it, then Dead Island is really fun.

    also Red Faction Armageddon (has a unicorn farting gun)

    Metro 2033 - fucking great! also Metro last light is coming out soon

    if all fails.... just get Shaun White Skate and have a laugh.

    If you're going to get a Red Faction game, get ANY OF THEM EXCEPT FOR ARMAGEDDON. Seriously, the others are SO MUCH better.

    I'm going to rape you in the mouth for speaking against a masterpiece like that.

    If we're going for recent games, then I'd recommend farcry 3 as well, you get your money's worth in the campaign alone, at least to me.

    I agree with antwan about checking out the saboteur as well, it's a pretty rad game and got almost zero recognition.
    You could find that for twenty bucks brand new now, probably ten bucks or cheaper at pawn shops.

    If you haven't played max payne 3 yet, you could get that as well, the campaign is as amazing as I expected it to be.
    The guy who does max's voice, James McCaffrey, is an incredible voice actor, amazed he doesn't get more work.

    Currently obsessed with Hitman Absolution and Far Cry 3 (you know I hate all fps games but this one just feels different).

    Don't forget about Trials Evolution as an alternative (loads of tracks with a new dlc and infinite track creations from CAP builders over there lol)

    I would seriously recommend Mass Effect. It is seriously the best gameseries I've ever played.
    The first one is skipable, but I'd still play all three in succession. It's really the most immersive gameseries I've ever played.

    10/10

    EDIT: Forgot the best thing. I've played it through 3½ time and every goddamn time it's like a different experience!

    sounds cool i just want my moneys worth as far as time goes....100+ hours at the LEAST! im looking for

    im down to a few choices:

    Skyrim- for the sure shot

    Mass Effect Trio- hoping its 100+ hours with all 3 games

    FarCray 3- only problem here is i will beat the game within 15 hours, what then I dont play Online!


    Might just try Mass Effect, and if i dont like it i will go back a grab Skyrim

    farcry is a shot in the dark for me i think

    you`d definately better be off if you just borrow Far Cry 3. Like you said, its one of these Games where the Story is awesome, but only playable once.

    What actually made me buy Far Cry is the really dope Map Editor.

    Coop isn`t too bad, fun playing with Friends, but i wouldn`t expect too much. Havn`t played it through the whole Coop Storyline yet though. Another pretty nice addon is that you can play Online with a Friend on one Console. He just can log into his account and you can play Splitscreen.
