Anyone know what would last me a good long while and not get boring out of these? I wont be able to buy a game for a good long while after this, so I would like th eone that would last long and have tons of replay value.

Also the only RTS I have is Empire at War, and Dawn of War. I dont play DoW though Because they broke widescreen with it. But anyways what should I get? This will be my last game for like 4 months.

WEll depending on your system I would suggest CoH because you can play skirmishes like forever and online play is always fun unless the Germans bring in their Ace Tiger :P I haven't tried Titan's Quest but if you like rpg's then go ahead with it!

Well, Titan Quest is a really long game and if you have some friends to play it with it can last a while. That being said, I recently bought Titan Quest but I already stopped playing it and considering how much I had wanted to get Company of Heroes, I probably should've gone with that instead.

Maybe you should get both games. Company of Heroes and Titan Quest will run you around $50. Both are long lasting, fun games to play.

If you have friends willing to jump on board with you, Titan Quest can last you a long time. Single-Player feels like a drag, imo. Company of Heroes is fun both in Single-Player and Multiplayer.

Agreed. They're both lasting games, but, it's worth nothing, they're long-lasting for different reasons. Titan Quest simply takes a long time to push through--the levels are large, the monsters plentiful, and the story rolls on and on. It's not particularly sophisticated, but it's fun and it definitely takes lots of time. Even if you never lose your way, and never die, there's a lot of material to deal with.

Company of Heroes isn't execptionally "long" in terms of its campaign and available variations; the basic release of the game, for instance, is a single-faction experience (don't expect to play as the Terrans, and then the Zerg, followed by the Protoss). It has considerable staying power, though because it's such a chess game of an RTS: you'll spend a lot of time attempting to master different tactics. Heck, I spend most of my COH time skirmishing against the CPU, and still find new challenges. I'm always looking to see if I can defeat the Germans on this map or that using a different strategy than previously, focusing on airborne maneuvers instead of armor, maybe, or spending more time digging in on the West side versus the East.

Finally, it should be pointed out that while both games are quite good and both have plenty of staying power, COH is, in the end, an all-around better game. While Titan Quest is a worthy and well-done Diablo clone, COH is probably the finest base-building RTS out there.

titan quest or coh ? that's like comparing baking-soda with a car :S

personally I like titan quest a lot cause it's simple hack and slash hoping you get nice drops and a lot of fun if you play it with a friend.

CoH is a good rts looks nice and stuff but I never really installed it on my pc again after I formated a few months ago.......

Buy em both =P They'd total the price of one new game now, anyway. I enjoyed both of them, but make sure you've got the power to make CoH look pretty ;)
