Bad Company 2 or FFXIII

[fantolay]

So I have enough money to get one new game for my Xbox 360 and I'm really torn between these two.

I know they are both totally different, but I'm wondering what you're thoughts are on each, and which one you would choose.

Bad Company 2.

SE really dropped the ball on FF13. I might get it if it drop in price, but everything from the soundtrack, the ridiculously overdone drama, and other grievances pushed this game from must buy, to a meh.

Bad Company 2 on the other hand, has become a first day purchase after being addicted to the PC demo for weeks.

FF if you want a long singleplayer game. BC2 if you want intense online play.

I'll probably pick up BC2 when the new halo comes out. Should prune out many of the screeching voice pre-teens.

Single player vs multiplayer game

The one you play more often, go for that one!

FPS is better on PC...don'tg et BC2 for console

This is 100% correct.

Just watched the first 10 min of BC2 single player on Youtube. Very interesting start to the game. Maybe I'll actually finish it unlike MW2.

If you like to watch lots of cutscenes about 16-year-old girls saving the world in between occasionally mashing the A button, get Final Fantasy. If you like gruff manly men with lots of guns and explosions in between 12-year-olds screaming at you over the internet, get Bad Company 2.

You didn't have 5 hours to spare to finish MW2?

 

[fantolay]

Yah I am leaning towards BC2 because I have a few long RPG's that I haven't finished yet, so it doesn't make sense to get another.

It just seems like BC2 is more of a MW clone/augmentation that a BF3.

I loved BF2 for the large open maps, the squad based teamwork that actually required a headset for the PC and a ventrilo server. These days on 360, nobody uses the headset to communicate in game.

I kind of want to wait to see what BC2 is like... but another part of me wants to get BC2 on Amazon right now for the $20 gift card.

So you never thought of playing the demo that was available in Feb???

 

[styroe]

buy bad company 2 at amazon, get the 20 credit to video game pre order purchase and then go preorder final fantasy after it shows up and you will then get a 10 dollar credit for video game purchase

My internet would make downloading a demo take a long amount of time. I'm on old verizon DSL. It gets the job done, but large file downloads require my computer to be on for a few days.

So, what you're saying is, it boils down to a choice of hebephilia or bromance.

So you're saying FF wins? :awe:

doesn't that describes every FF?

 

[OptimumSlinky]

Bad Company 2. The single-player borrows heavily from Modern Warfare, but it borrows the good stuff without going with the insane plotting. The multiplayer is unlike MW2 at all, and is straight up classic Battlefield action (big awesome maps, vehicles, the works).

Personally, I lost interest in Final Fantasy after FF Tactics. I got tired of the whiny emo heroes and childish dialogue.

 

[Dumac]

I'd get FFXIII, but that is mostly due to BC2 doesn't interest me.


With FFXIII, Square made a lot of changes that people are either going to love or hate (mostly hate in this thread). It sounds like (IMO) the changes are mostly positive, though. At least, I think I'll like XIII a hell of a lot more than XII.

 

[HalfCrazy]

Bought XIII for xbox360 which I do enjoy playing. This game will supply many hours of play time for sure.
