Need help picking from these game groups
This topic is locked from further discussion.
You don't need internet just for installs.
1- Ratchet. J & D is frustrating in places (Jak II mainly), the Sly series gets too reliant on mini games. The Ratchet trilogy is just consistently damn good.
2- Depends if you can play MGS1. You can't go wrong with either MGS or TOB. Don't go for KZ/Resistance over those if you can't play online.
3- You like open world games so AC is your safest bet. Avoid AC 1 which is dull and might put you off the series. Just read the plot of the first game online before you dive into Ezio's trilogy. Uncharted and ICO aren't open world games but worth playing when you get the chance.
4- Easily Fallout: NV; I take it you enjoyed 3. Far Cry 2 is horrid and Borderlands will feel repetitive long before F: NV. The main draw of that game is co-op.
5- Batman or Infamous are equally solid. Probably better to play the predecessors first.
6- I prefered the atmosphere, setting and gameplay of Bioshock. It's not really "scary" in the way Dead Space is though.
Okay, a few more things...will any of these game's prices drop or probably drop by late April? Also, I've heard Jak and Daxter is open world, is this also true for Rachet and Clank? Is MGS open world? What about the Orange Box?LJNMate how the hell are we supposed to know if the games are going to drop in price?
1. Ratchet and Clank
2. Not sure
3. Uncharted
4. Borderlands
5. I actually enjoyed Batman Arkham Asylum more than Arkham City
6. Dead Space
As for the original Assassin's Creed, although it has it's flaws it really is a great game.
Group 1: Ratchet isn't open world like Jak II/III, you go from one planet to another. Once the game's finished, it's finished. However the series does have a Challenge mode which serves as New Game+. (Not sure if Ratchet 1 has this). You keep your weapons & upgrades from the 1st playthrough and can upgrade them even further, enemies are tougher, more arena challenges are unlocked and so on.
Group 3: Go for the Ezio trilogy then. There's a lot more to do in 3 AC games than 2 Uncharted games.
Group 4: It's not worlds apart from Fallout 3 to be honest. I'd say forget Fallout/Borderlands and get Demon's Souls or/and Dark Souls instead. The latter is open world. Both games are nothing like the open world RPG's you already mentioned.
Group 5: I don't remember a whole lot of post-game activities in either game. Just a continuation of the side things you did during the story, riddles, blast shards, etc.
If you like open world games I recommend Just Cause 2 over Mafia, Red Faction and Mercenaries. It's absolutely huge and the gameplay is pure over the top fun.
