    hey, am going to buy a new game tomorrow for the first time in ages. I was thinking about one of these three.

    1 Heavy rain
    2 Bad Company 2
    3 MAG

    What would you go for?

    I'd go for Heavy Rain or Bad Company 2, if your looking for a good story get heavy rain and if your mainly play online i'd say Bad Company.

    I would recommend Heavy Rain also and then maybe trade it in against BFBC 2 in a week or two.

    Bad Company 2. Heavy Rain is already starting to clog up the pre-owned sections, and you'll be able to get it for next to nothing in a few months.

    I would say rent Heavy Rain and buy BF2
    Or wait for Red dead redemption to come out

    Depends:
    -if ya want some great longterm MultiPlayer, the Bad Company 2 (its better than MAG anyways)
    -if ya want a good story based game, then Heavy Rain, but might not be a good game to tide you over for a while which from the sounds of it (first new game in a while) you are looking for.

    Get MAG its so much better than Bad Company 2 and I heard that Heavy Rain is very short so you better off renting it instead of buying.

    MAG seems quite good seen my cousin play it , storyline is decent , gameplay is fantastic don't know about the other two though !

    MAG had a storyline?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,057 ✭✭✭Krusader


    MAG is multiplayer only

    Tis like asking what should I watch, Moon or Transformers?

    I'd say try the demo of heavy rain, and if you fancy more of that then buy it, otherwise get Battlefield...

    If it was me id go for Battlefield. Heavy Rain is good but Battlefield will keep you playing for longer with the online.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Thanks for all the suggestions, kinda leaning toward BC2 at the moment.

    Thats why i asked which one you would go for. you can tell a lot from other gamers opinion of a title.

    I've heard MAG is a bit hit and miss, a mate of mine has Heavy rain (he lives in another city so can't borrow it) and isn't crazy about it. Don't know much about BC2.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Are you tied in to getting one of those 3? Reason I ask is that they are all very recent games.......in the elapsed time since you've last bought a game, there have been some seriously good games. Many of which can be got for small money in comparison to the newer game. Uncharted 2 is one game I wouldn't overlook (I'm currently on my first play through of it and it is top notch).

    I can't wait for that to come out, it looks deadly.

    Bad Company 2 is way better than MAG. I only played the demo of heavy rain but tbh i kept pressing the left stick trying to sprint.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 844 ✭✭✭Yellowledbetter


    I got Heavy Rain last week and will be trading it in against BC2 tomorrow me thinks

    Again thanks for all the suggestions,the reason I was going for a new game as it was being given to me as a present. The chosen game has been bought and I will be playing it later this evening :D

    Bad Company 2 it is. Think I'll take the advice and but Heavy Rain as a second hander.

    can you rent heavy rain in Xtra Vision or GAME ?

    bf2 or just cause 2 that comes out next friday looks good..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2 MKultra


    you made the right choice ;) heavy rain doesnt hold much longevity unless you plan on playing out all the endings


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Really getting into BC2 now, can see myself playing online quite a bit. I like the gameplay more than COD but the graphics aren't as good. Give me gameplay any day of the week.
