What game to buy?

#1 Posted by LightYagami245 (1117 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Hi everyone. I have $70 saved up on Gamestop store credit. I was going to sell some of my old books to get some more cash. I don't really know which game to buy between these:

Call of Duty 4
Rock Band
Eternal Sonata
Too Human(when released)

Which one should I get. Intentionally, I was saving up for Rock Band, but I don't know which one to get now. Any help is welcome.

I would get Call of Duty 4, assuming you have Xbox Live. It is my second favorite online game (next to Halo), and I've probably played it longer than Rock Band and Eternal Sonata combined. Plus, if I were you, I'd wait for the next Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Lots of people are still playing Call of Duty 4 online, plus the campaign is really good, despite its length.

If you were going to get Rock Band, you should wait for Rock Band 2. Reason being is that Rock Band 2's drums are much better and the guitar is much better. RB 1's were light and it broke easily. Wait for Rock Band 2. Use the money to buy COD4, thats the best option from the list.

Shouldn't Eternal Sonata more or less be available as a budget title soon? It was released last October or something. Then you could get this and COD4.

That's a hard choice. If you have a couple of people to play with, get Rock Band. If you don't, Call of Duty.

But if I get RB, then I could use their instruments for GH: World Tour and RB2.

You could do that, but everything in the sequel is improved, so why not just wait? And you couldn't use the drums for GH: World Tour, since they are improving everything. And if you are planning on buying all of the instruments along with Rock Band, it will likely cost more than 70 bucks. That's just what I think though.

I see what you mean though. I'll take your thought into consideration. Thanks guys for the help.

I'd say either Call of Duty 4 or Rockband.

No problem... and don't feel bad picking one of the games on your list over the other, they are all good.

Get Call of Duty 4. The multiplayer is alot of fun and the campaign isn't that bad either.

#12 Posted by Soulless (143 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

No friends and XBL = COD4
Friends and no XBL = Rock Band

#13 Posted by DarkLegend (1387 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Go for Sonata!

I have friends and XBL, so which would you prefer?

Hmm... COD4
Rock Band is great for a while, but it doesn't take long to get annoyed at your friend who keeps screwing up on the drums. Your plastic instrument "band" is bound to break up quickly.

At least in COD4 you can go on and shoot up other people, since there is no online world tour in Rock Band.

CoD4, good campign, great multiplayer, awsome as hell!

#17 Posted by Prototype (82 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I know I'm proballygoing to be the only one to say this but Too Human. Because i really like what they are doing with it and to me it really looks great!!

#18 Posted by Scorched (689 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

CoD4 or Rock Band

#19 Posted by Logan_Aybara (70 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

That's a tough call. Rock Band is hands down the most fun I've had playing my 360, but as others have pointed out, RB2 is just around the corner with improved everything, so you should probably wait on that. Eternal Sonata is a gorgeous game, and was a lot of fun to play, but it has little replay value (I did replay it, as you're forced to if you want all 1000 achievement points, and it wasn't much fun the second time through).

I'm not a fan of FPS', so I can't comment on CoD4. As for Too Human, that's going to be my next 360 purchase. I really enjoyed the demo, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the full game has to offer. Good luck in your decision making!

#20 Posted by HakenGaken (20 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Rock Band, no question. Though I will say that I really enjoyed the Too Human demo, and I suspect that game will have long legs. That said, I've never seen a game that I've played longer, or had more fun sharing with my friends and family than Rock Band. No harm in getting the first one, especially if you can find it used. Everything will work with the sequel.

#21 Posted by Wolverine (4241 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I would get Call of Duty 4, it is an awesome game. If you are going to get Rock Band wait for Rock Band 2 because the hardware is supposed to be better. Then I would just by the Rock Band 1 disc for more songs.

#22 Posted by Breadfan (6056 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Get Call of Duty 4. I have been playing that game since it was released and I have yet to be bored with it

#23 Posted by Vinchenzo (6184 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Rock Band, that's the only game I never traded in. Not only because you can't trade in drums, but because DLC is amazing and adds a lot of replayability. Although I might recommend going for the 2nd one since it's coming soon.

#24 Posted by MikeHundreds (9 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Call of Duty 4. No question

#25 Posted by tec3297 (1170 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Eternal Sonata is a great JRPG if you are into that genre of game. But if you like American RPG's more then Too Human is the way to go.

#27 Posted by MrMiyagi (925 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Call of Duty 4 is a solid choice... actually so is Eternal Sonata.

Hmm... I say go with Too Human actually.

#28 Posted by SpikeSpiegel (6818 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Call of Duty 4 or Rockband is what I would suggest.

#29 Posted by x3ar (236 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

cod 4 deffinetly

#30 Posted by Quint (123 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

COD 4 or get Lost Odyssey instead of Eternal Sonata, it's far superior imo.

I already have Lost Odyssey.

#32 Posted by METALM1LITIA91 (259 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

COD4 is one of the best on 360 so its a must buy

#33 Posted by LuffyUzumaki (453 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

no competion cod4, the game has crack in it

#34 Posted by tancred8120 (93 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

CoD4 is a must. Especially if you have Xbox Live

Yeah Lost Odyssey! I forgot about that game for a second. lol

#36 Posted by BlindEffekt (917 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Soul Caliber looks tasty imo

#37 Posted by shadowjak (456 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

*steps back from TOo Human fanboyness*

Get COD4. One of, it not the best single player campaign out there. I played it non-stop from begining to end. The servers are still full so online is worth it and fun.

Eternal Sonata.. Don't get. If you want an RPG get TOO Human or Lost Odyssey.

#38 Posted by GiantBomber (335 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

COD 4 MAN! What are you thinking?? Untill Too Human comes out who knows how good it really is.

COD4 is a game you HAVE to have anyway.

#39 Posted by BlindEffekt (917 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Get the edition with all the free maps if you can.

#40 Posted by ColMustard (357 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

You should buy Too Human new... and buy CoD4 used. The too human demo was great. I actually needed to play it twice to kinda figure out what the strategy for action was and its very rewarding when you figure it all out.

Great choice though, not an easy descision. I want eternal sonata too, it never drops in price....

Thanks. I decided to get COD4 GOTY new(that's the only ones Gamestop has) and Assassin's Creed used(it's $22).

I was thinking ES, but like ColMustard said, it never drops in price. Then there was the Orange Box, but that's too much too. Too Human looks interesting(the demo was), but it's going to be $60, and I only have $70 in store credit.

#42 Posted by Sentry (4197 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

CoD4 and RB for sure, or wait for RB2 in a few months.

#43 Posted by ZimpanX (420 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

If you like to play online then defintely get COD4.

#44 Posted by l1qu1d (8 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

dude you should totally get too human or rock band. if you can find the money, definitely get both. rock band is going to be more expensive than what it seems though, because there's some awesome dlc out there.

either way, hope you enjoy whatever you choose.

#45 Posted by DarkLegend (1387 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Rock band worth the most out of the bunch just to let you know.

#46 Posted by Thunder (390 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Get CoD4 it still has a strong community plus the campaign and multiplayer are great

I'm definitely getting COD4 and AC this Wednesday, but thanks everyone for your suggestions.

#48 Posted by Ehden (214 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

COD4 if you have xbox live gold, Rock band if not.

#49 Posted by magnificentbastard (42 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

I'd definitely get Call of Duty 4, it has a great campaign and fantastic online play

Thanks, but why RB if no live gold? I thought it was like COD4 in terms of activity on Live.

Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
