Well, christmas just passed and i got 3 new games, and a giftcard to gamestop.

For xmas I asked for Far Cry 2, Need for Speed Undercover, Call of Duty 5, and Midnight club LA. I got the first three of those, and not MCLA.

I got a 40$ giftcard too. I already have 2 controllers, so a controller is useless, and I really wanted a 60gb hdd but even w/ the giftcard id be payin 60 bucks for that stupid package it comes with. So i'd say thats a no.

I kinda want another game - I was obviously thinking about MCLA b/c its only 40 bucks, perfect, right? Well, now that I have NFS, idk if its worth getting.

Plus I keep hearing its too hard.

Any suggestions on that?

Also, I was thinking about Soul Calibur IV. I rented it once, and unlocked all the characters, but it was still a lot of fun to play. But Idk if i should buy it or not because i remembered SCII was fun for a while, then it just sort of died on me. All fighting games do. Hows the online play with SCIV? I didnt play too much online when i rented it. Is it worth buying if i already practically beat it?

Anyway, i'm willing to buy a brand new 60$ game cause id only be payin 20 for it, so any other suggestions much appreciated:)

I'm into racing, fighting, FPS, action/adventure, not so much rpg but sorta (i loved oblivion, and games that have rpg elements like fable, zelda, etc), etc.

I just dunno what to buy lol.

How about respecting the forum and the people in it and using the recommendation thread at the top of the page?

Thanks

dude u shouldnt have gotten need for speed! that game is terrible! midnight club is way better! try to trade it for midnight club! as for soul calibur 4 i wouldnt buy it either, gets boring FAST! i'd say go with Left 4 Dead man! fun! a lot of co-op and is fun to replay! expert is really challenging! i would only recommend the hard drive if u were really into instaling your games! and buying/downoading content

Damedash122....thanks for being the only respectable person here lol.

And thanks for the advice. Im a fan of NFS so ill prob just keep it anyway. And ill prob buy MCLA anyway. lol.

And to everyone else, excuse me for not knowing the fine details of forum posting and stickies lol.

I'm not usually a forum guy, I don't often make my own posts, so i don't know about stickies and such.

plus....does it realy matter if i use that sticky or w/e?

even with my forum the way it is - whether or not someone tells me any recomendations or not - i did open the floor up in a way to a discussion on games?

isn't that what these forums are for?:)

No

The stickies are there so we don't have to see threads like this. You're on a gaming site, if you refuse to use what's offered and MUST ask for games then do it in one place.

The rest of us use the site and all it's resources to find the games we want.

A little harsh, isn't it? Just give the guy a break. He wants a game and doesn't now what he should get. He just wants help.

Yes, it does matter if you use the stickied recommendation thread. The reason we have the sticky is to stop the forum flooding out with similar topics.
