Title: What do you gamers think of all getting the same game?
Post by: Dave Gray on January 30, 2009, 03:14:42 pm
I have an idea.  For those of us who play games, why don't we pick an old game (that's cheap) and then play it together.

The last one I did was Forza 2/Marvel Ultimate Alliance.  I had fun with it, but never played it with any other TDMMCers, other than Guatarrican.

I think we should pick a new game.  Anyone have suggestions that would be interested in participating?

I was thinking Burnout Paradise for the 360.  It got very good reviews.  It is $20 new from Amazon.  (Probably less if you can find it used.)  It has come out with FREE downloadable content since launch.  It's also a game that is played with lots of players doing challenges together OR racing each other.

Thoughts?

We could easily make it games that everyone already has, such as Gears 2 or Halo 3, or even Madden.  Is there a reason why you'd rather have people go out and buy a new game?

I think a racing game would be fun, but I prefer the kind like Need For Speed over Forza.  Dunno, just my preference.

Yeah, for a couple of reasons.  First, I'd like it to be a game where we're not just playing only playing against each other.  Halo and Gears have that, but only for 2 people.  Also, it'd be nice for all (or at least most) of us to be on a level playing field.  ...whereas, Halo 3 or Gears isn't fun, unless you've been playing long enough to be good.

Lastly, I think it would be a good way to go back and pick up some titles that fell under the radar for cheap.

But....it's not all on me.  We can play whatever.

I agree - I'm down for whatever, just asking.

In Gears, there's Horde, which allows up to 5 people to play co-operatively, and possibly some of the most fun I've had in online gaming, ever.  Halo3 has co-op campaign up to 4 people.  GTA4 has cops and robbers, and a ton of game modes, but not sure how easy it is to assemble your own party.

You're right.  I'll play either Gears 2 or Halo with anyone.  I forgot about Horde and 4P Co-Op.

How about left 4 dead? I play that online w/ a friend.

I have Left 4 Dead.  ...and I'll play that with oneone, as well.

But right now, that's a 60 dollar game, so I wouldn't ask anyone to buy that who doesn't already have it.

Burnout is $20 brand new.

I'm also down for playing some Team Fortress 2.  I have it, but have never played it, really.  It's part of the Orange Box, that is also 20 new, and a great deal.

Sounds bad ass. I love Burnout, (have takedown for ps2) and if it's only $20, I can deal with that hit to the bank acct. I'll re-up my acct. with Live if we can get some multi goin on. Also have GTA4.

I'm game if something happens.  :)

Burnout is awesome and they have a new update coming out. I don't know if it will have any new content but so far everything has been free to download.

Turn based like the board game. 

the board game that came out in 1984 (no central usa) is called classic.

the one that came out about 5 years ago (with central usa) is called revised

and there are also a bunch of variants

the version that came out about 2 months ago is called aa50 but still has bugs.

game still last a long time, but they move about 25-40% faster on the computer, because you don't have to set up (or clean up) the game, dice rolling is handled by the computer much quicker than real humans can do it.

I've been meaning to respond to this.

I am willing to do either, play something we all have or buy something new.

Some of the more enjoyable multi-player games, in my opinion, are:

Call of Duty
Halo
Left 4 Dead
Vegas 6

I am grooving on Left 4 Dead right now - this is one fun, bad ass game!

I bought Burnout Paradise today at Target for $20.  It's in the bargain bin.  There was also the Orange Box in there, as well as a few other games.  ...but these were by far the two best.

If anyone else wants in, I'm game.

Also, for you Left 4 Dead-ers -- let's get a game going.  I'm down.

Just need a heads up if and when we're gonna do this. I'll pick up the game.
