Chrono's Conflict

<div class="IPBDescription">For I am a cheap hobo</div> November approaches, and I'm going to buy something fancy.

Half-Life 2, Halo 2, and the Nintendo DS are all going to be out by the next time I reach some sort of electronics store (I live 30 minutes away in a semi-rural area, and am devoid of a liscence). I am also incredibly poor, since I can't get a job because I have no car which sucks. My birthday is in January, though, which is good.

Anyway, my cheap arse has a hard enough time as it is deciding what to buy in game stores (I spend about an hour staring at the shelves, then pick the 5 game value pack!), so I figured planning ahead would be a good idea.

Halo 2?
Half-Life 2?
Nintendo DS?
Since I haven't bought it yet, Ninja Gaiden?

Right now, it's mainly a competition between DS and Ninja Gaiden, since I know both will own my ponce. Halo 2 and Half-Life 2 are going to kill me when they come out, though, and I hear everyone talking about them, and all of my friends are having huge net games and I can't join because I have Ninja Gaiden.

But then, if the games end up sucking, I have a sucky game I got because I decided I didn't want to get Ninja Gaiden.

In either of those above two scenarios, the bus ride to and from school will suck huge nuts, as will lunch, because I'll have nothing to do.

I hope Metroid Prime 2 isn't coming out soon x.x

    Halo 2 will surly pwn, as will HL2, but HL2 has mods... Go with HL2, I'm sure there is a ninja mod out there some where.

    DS or Games for a console.

    why?

    can your computer run HL2?

    if not I suggest you get concole stuff

    personaly I would say DS just b/c the pwn factor is garunteed (as nintendo always has great games lined up with the release)

    This is the only forum where my name is Crono. And that's mostly because that was the point in time where many people were whining because Crono didn't have an H, but after a while I decided I didn't care because not many people knew that anyway, and I'd probably get people telling me I spelled Chrono wrong.

    I already have preorders for the special edition of Halo 2 and collector's edition of HL2. Pretty easy to see where I stand on the matter....

    So you say your computer can run HL2 properly? Because definitely go with that. HL2 will be the next universal benchmark for FPS games... I believe, anyway.

    And I'm going to have to be subtle and pre-empt "No Warez Talk" please. But if you get my hint... But no, no warez talk. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Bad boy!

    Juarezing takes all the fun out of buying something.

    Namely, the part where you buy it D:
  • NurotNurot Join Date: 2003-12-04 Member: 23932Members, Constellation
    Definately Half Life 2.
  • AlkillerAlkiller Join Date: 2004-05-23 Member: 28847Members
    Ok C<b>h</b>rono, I would go with Half-life 2 c<b>h</b>rono, so that you can play the mods for HL2, ok c<b>h</b>rono? I'm getting half-life 2 as well c<b>h</b>rono, so I hope to play it with you.... c<b>h</b>rono!

    Halo 2 will be the better game, so get it first, then when you have the money you can get HL2 for the mods. As for the DS, you should wait until it has proven itself, and Ninja Gaiden can be rented.

    Apparently, HL2 will be available for purchase next week, so I'll be getting that then.

    So now it's down to Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden, or DS.

    EDIT: I don't like renting games. Plus, I think we have a $700 late fee for a movie we rented way back when.

    I'd say get Gaiden if you have XBox Live, since the Gaiden 1.1 update looks absolutely omgWTHbbq. It's a fantastic game, all around. Halo 2 might have more replay value thanks to the multiplayer, but if you're a big SP gamer then definitely get Gaiden.

    As for the DS... yeah, I'm getting one. But my list is much longer than yours:

    HL2 (probably silver Steam package)
    Prime 2
    PoP:WW
    DS
    WoW (collector's edition)

    Halo 2 got bumped off my list for WoW; while I'm sure it'll be a great game, I *loved* HL1, Prime, and PoP:SoT but I only liked Halo -- and that was only because of the co-op aspect. So I figure I can hold off on Halo 2 for the time being.
