Forums - Gaming - What game should I rent?

Tagged games:

I'm a little under the weather at the moment, so I thought I'd rent out a game for a few days to keep me entertained. Which game though?

I'm thinking about a newish game, but older ones are welcome too.

HELP!

I just started playing redfaction guerrilla and its pretty good so far.



Anything other than Binary Domain and Dragon's Dogma, which are awesome games that you should buy and not rent.



Hitman: Blood Money on the 360

Platform? I'm going to assume 360 (I don't know the iOS catalog too well unfortunately). Looking at your current game collection and favourites you lean towards the shooter genre (FPS mostly but I see TPS in there as well).

Have you given Binary Domain a try? If you like over the top cheesy-ness and some slightly "different" feeling shooting action (some consider it poor, others prefer it more than the status quo of Gears/Mass Effect), then it might be worth checking out. It's fairly short (6-8 hours on normal) so it seems like a good rent.

You also appear to like Skyrim so I'd suggest Dragon's Dogma if you haven't checked it out. It may not be as vast (it's still very big) or welcoming as Skyrim but the combat is a lot more involved and it's fairly deep in its own ways. This one can be really long if you enjoy it so I'd check out the demo first. You may even end up liking it enough to go full out buy.

Definitely give the demo of both a try (or just rent them if you aren't too worried about wasted money).


Wow, thanks! Yeah, the platform is the X360. I've played the demo for Dragons Dogma and I didn't particularly like it (it kinda seemed like a Skyrim rip-off to me, which wasn't as good as the original...by original I mean Skyrim) and I'm not sure my local gaming store would have a small title like Binary Domain for rent. Also, Badgenome likes Binary Domain, which doesn't bode well for it; Badgenome and my gaming tastes are polar opposites. 

I love all of Bethesdas games I've played though, so I'm kinda leaning towards Dishonored at the moment...

Dragons Dogma is a sub-par Skyrim rip-off...THERE, I SAID IT!

Isn't it universally renowned as one of the worst games of all time though?

@thrax, 3rd persons shooters are generally awful imo, but overall the game looks decent

Dishonored isn't developed by Bethesda, only published. The develoepr is Arkane but it's a solid game nonetheless. Gives a ton of freedom of choice in play style while providing a tight and engaging narrative. Why aren't you playing Borderlands 2 anymore?


I'm kinda tired of it at the minute, but I'll probably go back to it in a few weeks; I still haven't finished he campaign yet! Oh yeah, and I'm stuck too...

You are a subpar pezus ripoff. There, I said what everyone has been thinking but no one wanted to say.

Actually pezus is an above-par man-bear-pig rip-off. I'm like Oblivion and Pezus is like Skyrim...he copied me and improved in many aspects
