What made you buy the game you are playing right now?

What made you buy the game you are playing right now? Ask yourself. What made you choose that game over all the others? Why that one? Daniel New looks at some of the reasons we decide to pick one game over another.

I currently have more fun with Borderlands then I had with Destiny. Maybe because I am a solo or couch coop player type. I like games with a good story and characters I remember. Either my own or NPCs.

Just picked up the latest gow on ps3 for six pounds...

Ps3 can still pump out graphics

[Paprika]

Currently playing mass effect 1.... it shits on every single current gen game to date. Literally perfection, mass effect 4 will be better than cheese on toast!

[The Meerkat]

Optional side quests in ME have more depth to them than the whole of Destiny.

[Fkhalf16]

well its is Bioware game, they are renown for their storytelling. KOTOR is still my favourite Bioware game out of them all.

[Paprika]

Whoever disagreed, tell me a current gen game with a better narrative than mass effect? Or characters, the lore, world design, unique appeal.

[ArchangelMike]

I was so disappointed with Destiny, I was expecting Mass Effect X Borderlands, but instead I got a half-baked shooter.

I can't wait for the rumored Mass Effect Remaster trilogy for next gen consoles. I would play through that all over again in a heart beat.

I bought Alien Isolation, once i heard it had VR support after a few tweaks.
I was going to give this a miss, damn lucky i didnt, game on a monitor is good, using a DK2, it is an amazing game.

[Revengeance]

Playing 2 games

Destiny - Friend bought an extra copy and gave it to me. We were both hyped for the game and still enjoy it.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax - First one was already a solid fighter but overlooked by many. As soon as I heard a sequel I knew I was already getting the game. Got it Day 1 and think it's one of the best fighters ever made.

After 3 days, 11 hours, 10 minutes, and 9 seconds of in game time, I am still playing Destiny and loving every second of it.

I wonder what comes next (after the Iron Banner.)

FH2 baby. Best racing game of 2014 and beyond. A complete package. Great work playground games. You people are truly wizards.

[boing1]

Gut feeling. Mordor is awesome.

[Lord_Sloth]

Destiny. Because I liked what I saw and because I love Jolly Co-Op.

I am currently playing Forza Horizon 2. I bought an xbox one and this game after the disapointment Drive Club was. I was looking for a next gen racing experience and FH2 has been amazing so far. It combines all of the racing properties I enjoy that expand multiple games. It was totally worth buying the xbox for.

[SniperControl]

Same here, just ordered a X1 with FH2 yesterday, although not for the same reason(i think Driveclub is a great game), i liked FH1 on the 360 so finally decided to take the plunge for the X1.

[spence52490]

Try not to feel bad if you slowly start spending more time with the X1. I feel bad because I feel like I'm cheating on my PS4 but the Xbox experience is truly great. Everything is extremely fluid.

[SniperControl]

Lol, i mainly game on PC, i buy all multiplats there, console exclusive multiplats i buy on PS4, i only bought the X1to play FH2 and MCC.

[TheUpbringer]

I'm playing both Destiny and I've been running through the Assassin's Creed games before AC Unity and AC Rouge come out. I've been thinking about getting Isolation, but Bayonetta 2 is coming out soon too.

[Gravity_DoGG]

Destiny: promises, which were broken. so I had to trade it in. Looking forward to BL;TPS GOTY with all DLC in 6-8 months.

[ArchangelMike]

I'm trading Destiny for Far Cry 4.

[andrewer]

Steam sales \o/

[LightningMokey]

Im still playing Last of Us.

[Scarfy]

Lucky! Wish I could wipe my memory and play it all over again.

[ArchangelMike]

Same here, still playing TLOU. trying to complete the game on Grounded Difficulty.

[LightningMokey]

Beat it on grounded 4 times. Flamethrower is your best friend :) just trying to finish the plat without looking everything up.

[Perjoss]

Shadow of Mordor: heard the combat was similar to Batman franchise. Also word of mouth.

Alien Isilation: youtube vid showing how detailed and well made the environments are.

Destiny: Bungie's track record at creating really fun FPS combat. Also because scifi.

[Soldierone]

The beta, demo, that came out before it released. I used to buy a ton of games because i'd get addicted to the demo's. Today you are lucky if you get a demo at all, and if you do it normally comes out AFTER the game has been out forever....

[Tex117]

Yeah, playing Destiny because after the drought of summer, I wanted a video game to play.

I wanted a Mass Effect + Borderlands, but didn't get it. Still enjoying my time with the game though. The gameplay itself is rock solid.

[mochachino]

Destiny, I was very excited for the next Bungie game and I liked the gameplay in beta and thought it would be fun with friends who I knew were also getting it AND expected it to have a vast universe and epic story...

The posters above were right, a single Mass Effect side mission has more depth than Destiny's entire story. However, despite how disappointing the game is, I've still played over 70hrs because it is a very enjoyable game with friends.

[AlexFili]

Shadow of Mordor - Nemesis System
Smash Bros 3DS - Lots of fun and great on the go

[Derpy]

The last game I bought and am currently playing is Deadly Premonitions Director's Cut for the PS3. (Wished I'd waited a little longer though, just saw it on sale yesterday.) I was looking for an open world game I hadn't played and thought it looked fun. A lot of people are turned away by it's dated graphics, but it's an extremely fun though somewhat weird massive open world game.
