I need PC Game purchase advice.

[Minifig]

Those of you who know me, know I'm working on a severely limited fund basis.

I rarely can buy games, and because of this, I'm asking for advice.

I can buy a game tonight.

My choices:

Borderlands.-Some of my friends are playing this on Steam, and I love FPS games and Diablo, Diablo 2 etc type games (see the fact I love Torchlight).

Left For Dead 2- Quite a few of my friends are playing it, but I got tired of playing the first one rather quickly.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - Single player, BUT, have been wanting it for a long, long time.

I do not know what I should get at this current juncture.

I have to keep track of the receipt, so I'll be purchasing it on Steam (as I do all of my games).

Any advice would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Batman: AA and L4D2 have demos available to help you decide. Borderlands apparently doesn't. I haven't tried any of them, but I agree with you on L4D. It seemed cool at first, but I think I played it like 5 times.

I'd try the demo for whatever you're considering on Steam if there's one available then wait a few weeks. I'm almost positive L4D2 and Borderlands will be a weekend deal soon.

Borderlands is pretty sweet, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you play as much as possible of it MP, that is what makes or breaks the game. So if you have a few friends to play with you would be set.

Out of those 3 I would get Borderlands. L4D I am exactly like you. It was great for the first day or so, then its dead....

Batman was a great game, BUT it was only Single player fun until you completed it. After that its just like an old DVD...

Borderlands is where its at right now.

I thought L4D2 felt like l4d1 .. just.. more gory. It was nice and all, and I really kinda liked the fact it was .. more .. optimized this time.. it felt like it played better, but it just felt the same.

I can beat Batman:AA's demo without getting hit once I've played it so many times. I -love- that demo. My problems with it are : single player and no replayability. :(

buy Css, cs 1.6/Warcraft 3/Diablo/Starcraft/LFD2.

Have you played Dragon Age: Origins? Excellent game if you haven't.... beyond that the only other game I've played in your list is Borderlands and it's quite fun.

IF you pre order it now you can get serious sam hd for $17.99

I'm thinking out of those 3, so far, the winner looks to be Borderlands.

Can anyone tell me about the 4 "classes" in the game?

[Spartan Erik]

Batman AA: played the demo, unique and nice graphically, but I imagine it would be one of those games that lack any replay value

L4D2: played L4D1 to death, and I'm sure this sequel is more of the same old stuff with different skins and special zombies

Out of those three, Borderlands does seem like your only option. However, once the handicapped MW2 gets cheaper for PC, it might MIGHT be worth buying. Been playing on my roommate's 360 and it is pretty fun (even if 9v9 max)

They gimped MW2 and made it a console port, I'm not all that interested in it.

Out of all of the games out right now, I've listed quite a few that I'm interested in..

[Spysix]

I'd get Batman because of how awesome it is, if you loved the animated series, you'll treasure this.

I wouldn't bother with L4D2 if you only played the first for a little bit and thats it. Trust me, its like an expansion than a sequel. And it's very lacking. I call it Left 4 Another Game.

[Slammers]

Borderlands if you'll play online, Batman if your just gonna play single player.

Although Borderlands is alot bigger, it gets really samey after not long single player, batman is shorter but more varied so all up I think they both have to same value out of them.

Batman is surely better in almost every way while it lasts though.

And i know this wasn't included in your list, and I hate when people do things like this but...... get Dragon Age!!!! Won't need to buy another game for months unless you really hate rpg's lol.

[Dance.]

My friends are having a blast playing MW:2 on the PC, you might too. So I'd recommend that one.

[Solid Knight]

As somebody on a limited budget I find it much easier to just buy games that I absolutely know that I want. Nothing I'm on the fence about or have any doubts about.

[Slammers]

He wants all three but is having trouble deciding...

+1 to Borderlands and Dragon Age.
