GRRRR, which game to buy!

dave2k2005 · 6 Mar 2006 at 18:04

Hey guys,
I have 15 pounds to spend on any game I want. I am looking at a competitor beacuse they are cheapest. There are just too many choices, doom 3 with expansion for 13 quid, FEAr for 10, but im not sure wether to get FEAR because I don't like scary games

I dont mind a little bit scary, but if its scary throughout I just find it so ooo boring. There si also SWAT 4for 8 poiunds. I really odnt know what to get :mad:

Please revisit the FAQ.

Take Doom 3 out of the equation aswell then

Rob43 · 6 Mar 2006 at 18:17

FEAR is not scary :eek:

,pretty good game though.

SWAT 4 fantastic game ! Playing it through a second time at the minute + the add on is out soon as well

Doom 3 is pretty boring,i gave up about half way through

Too much of the same old stuff(good gfx though)

SWAT 4 gets my vote :cool:

Doom3 with expansion will last you a lot longer than FEAR. FEAR is a pretty short game, maybe 8hrs, where as Doom3 on it's own is more like 16hrs before you've even started the expansion pack.

dave2k2005 · 6 Mar 2006 at 19:44

I'm pretty crap at games, so it doesn't matter how long they are, just the quality

OK, lets do a vote!
Doom 3 with expansion-1
Swat4-1
FEAR-0
Guys, keep on voting!!!!

I'd go for FEAR. I played all the way through Doom 3 out of some misguided sense of duty. It was a chore. Pretty, but a chore.

Yewen · 6 Mar 2006 at 23:45

I have just ordered all the games on your list

I will let you know which one is the best when they arrive

DJammyRasta · 7 Mar 2006 at 10:07

i would go

swat 4
fear
doom

didn't rate doom at all really, fear was at least cool

Avoid FEAR.

So boring and pointless really. After playing it for about 10 mins you then get a sense of deja vu as almost the rest of the entire game is just the same old corridors/buildings repeated endlessly. Only time the gfx look any good either is when you engage the slow-mo bullet time function. Rest of the time it looks very average and is so poorly optimised its a bad joke.

Doom3 is repetitive but at least it runs smoothly and with the ROE expansion gives you a better storyline + missions.

FEAR is just bland most of the time and very overhyped. Gfx do not even come close to justifying its steep hardware requirements/slow performance.

Forget it totally if you have less than 2GB Ram + 256MB Gfx card either.

Enzo · 7 Mar 2006 at 13:22

no votes for farcry ??

Yewen · 7 Mar 2006 at 14:16

He did not list farcry as a option

hr18 · 7 Mar 2006 at 14:20

doom3 + expansion, its well worth it if you liked previous doom games.

i dont get this.... seen it quite often... i played the game with everythin on medium on my pc, that is nowhere near as good as urs... and it played perfectly with a constantly steady framerate pretty much throughout the entire game

dave2k2005 · 7 Mar 2006 at 17:06

FEAR-1
SWAT 4-2
DOOM 3-2
OOOOO, its between SWAT 4 and Doom 3 so far. I already own Far cry. I dunno, because some people have rated FEAR as one of the best games ever and its only a tenner :cool:

SWAT 4 and doom 3 is 8. Also guys, if there are any toher games under 15 quid that you cna reccomend, then go ahead, come on, KEEP ON VOTING!

Yewen · 9 Mar 2006 at 13:13

Well the games just arrived for me, will be playing them when I get home probably, if I can draw myself away from BF2

(BoG) Napalm · 9 Mar 2006 at 13:22

SWAT 4 gets a vote from me.

The replayability wins it for me. Plus I love shooting people with CS filled paintballs

Last Kronin · 9 Mar 2006 at 13:29

Maybe its just me but when i played Swat 4 i just made most of my team stay at the entrance and soloed it, didnt like cn them die all the time :rolleyes:

Spacky · 9 Mar 2006 at 15:51

I found SWAT 4 too slow and cumbersone

Doom 3 I found scarey and intense and better than swat4, but both I feel have no replay factor

JimJones · 9 Mar 2006 at 15:53

Swat 4 is a good game. Not as good as swat 3 tho.

OzZie · 9 Mar 2006 at 16:21

SWAT4 is absolutly awsome when you play Co-op over a LAN. The effort you need if there are just two people who both need to survive otherwise there's not much point in continuing (sp?) unless you are 90%+ through the level
