Forums - Gaming - Vanquish Vs Enslaved Vs Castlevania,,,Which one should I buy??

Vanquish isn't for guys who play games only once. Nor is it for people who don't like the value proposition of arcade games. If you're the kind of guy who likes playing games and having fun at learning the mechanics and getting better and looking amazing while doing it, then Vanquish is the best game released in a while.

Vanquish and games like it ( Bayonetta) are packaged the way they are without a proper mechanic for longevity. Games intentionally made to last do last by volume in sales and quality this generation. One must be hardcore to truly play these one player titles over and over again. Most people who get Vanquish will find it to be a really great game, but not worth $60. The same goes for the force unleashed. Of course everything has to do with the consumers individual opinion, but on an objective standpoint from time put into the game its blatantly obvious that Vanquish is the weakest link out of the 3 games based on forms of intrinsic value to todays moderate consumer. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Vanquish demo even more than Enslaved, but seriously, Enslaved has the solid story, decent gameplay and longer hours of play even though it isn't by much. That tips the scales.



as the two before me said;

Vanquish is pretty unique, but not for everyone since the Campaign is maybe 5 hours long.

Enslaved is the more Cinematic 'Post-World' Experience. it lasts 8 Hours and is kinda the oppsite of Vanquish -> instead of deep gameplay, you get a deep story.

Castlevania ist kind of the hybrid Game of the 3, the Story may not be as deep as it was in Enslaved, and the gameplay isnt as Pr0n as in Vanquish, but both sides of this 15-20 Hour Medal  can satisfy your needs of story and gameplay.

 

So, its up to your likings in the first place. :<

I'm sorry, but hta'ts not objective.

As I said before: the value proposition made by Vanquish is that it's like an arcade game. It'si mmensely replayable because it is fun to replay, even without the dangling carrot of further incentive. I never pretended that Vanquish is for everyone (it's not; it's for the hardest of the hardcore and the oldest of the oldschool) but saying that there is an objective standard by which Enslaved is superior is fallacious. Story doesn't matter in Vanquish, hours of play takes a backseat to the fact that it's the most replayable game since God Hand, and it's got the most pitch-perfect gameplay of any shooter I've ever played on a console.

enslaved is a great game! some might find it a bit short, but i loved it. one of the best i've played on 360 this year!

i highly recommend it!

castlevania is good in my opinion, but if i had to choose i'd take enslaved any day!

vanquish looks rubbish to me, but i thats just my opinion and i wouldn't state it as "fact"...



eather you can not go wrong but I would get both
