Which PC Game to Buy 12 Year Old Younger Brother

[NewYorksFinest]

His birthday is coming up. He wants:

Crysis 3
Metro: Last Light
Battlefield 4
Grid 2

Which one should I buy him?

Metro: Last Light? This is even on the list? You want to expose a 12 year old to sex and rape scenes, among other things? The game is rated M for a reason.

Crysis 3 has a shitty plot but decent gameplay and will likely pass muster with a 12 year old. Battlefield 4 was still having mucho trouble with bugs last I checked. So from that list I'd recommend Grid 2 first, Crysis 3 second.

If he plays multiplayer BF4 should give him more playing time for the money. Beyond that, I think Metro:Last Light is the best of the games you've mentioned. Grid 2 sucks compared to the first one.(I recommend the first G.R.I.D) Crysis 3 Beautiful but kind of dull gameplay

He has GTA V for the Xbox.

If he plays GTAV, I would not worry too much about Metro LL. I think it was the best game of those listed, although I thought Metro 2033 was an overall better game. If he likes online shooters though, BF4 would probably provide more long lasting gameplay.

Manhunt 1 + 2, both of which are uncut on PC.

Grid 2 is terrible

Crysis 3 is a 12 year olds dream if he has a good machine. What's his CPU/GPU?

That game still has the best graphics of any game IMO. It has a permanent spot on my hard drive.

Well then that's fine I guess. Can't say I have much respect for your parents, exposing a 12 year old who's barely taken sex-ed to rape and sex via video games and what-not; no freaking way he'd understand any of it, but that's not my call. Metro is easily the best game on the list.

Meh, 90% of 12 year olds own GTA V on Xbox.

That said, I wouldn't buy it for him if I was my parents.

Yeah, I know all those games. I let him try them on my PC last month. I just wanna know which is the best for his age.

The CPU is a core i5-4440 and the GPU is a GTX 760. I built it for him (I kind of owed my parents $1500) so I know all the specs although the Hard Drive size isn't necessary.

 

[futurefields]

Yeah I would go with Crysis 3 with the only caveat being that the multiplayer, while not being dead, isn't the most active anymore.

 

[NewYorksFinest]

So, which is he best for him?

 

[blankslate]

Psychonauts.

it didn't have as much success as other titles but those who played it generally hold it in high regard.

I seriously doubt that but hey, what the hell, show me where you've taken your statistics from.

As the parent of a 13 yr old, even I wouldn't play that GTA V crap.

Doom3 or Quake 4.

 

[Dankk]

I know I'm in the minority, but I think GRID 2 is a great racing game.

 

[Regz]

Crysis 3 IMO

If he like multiplayer fps, BF4 will give you the most hours.
