Budget games. Which one?

Post by AMDfan »

I only have R100 to spend :(

Mechwarrior 4 mercenaries (I've played 1-3 + mech 2 merc)
Prince of persia (I only have 32mb vram)
Beyond good and evil (heard it has a good story)
Indiana jones and the emperors tomb (I've played fate of atlantis and the inferno machine)
Uru - beyond myst
Startrek elite force 2 (didn't play the first one)

I like a game with good story.

I have the morrowind collection(tribunal+bloodmoon). I'm bored to tears in the main campaign. The whole game feels like jumping through hoops after hoops, from one tedious obstacle to another. I feel the story
was an afterthought, like they didn't put much effort into it. Too simplistic IMO. I've finied the 5th and haftway though the 4th vision getiing the 3 houses on my side. All I'm doing now is get my character lvl
high enough so I can play tribunal(heard it was better).

So far, i hate this game!

If you only have R100 bucks to spend then spend it on a dop and chop with some friends. You wont really get any good games for that price, except for really old ones ;)
when in doubt, paddle out... ;)

Bru, were are you getting Indiana Jones from?

I've been looking for it in Durbs, and I can't find it anywhere!

Beyond Good & Evil is lots of fun. It's clear that it's a console port, but still it held my attention.

The only complaint I heard was that it's too short. like 8 hours or something and it had a cliff hanger feeling ending. is this true?

mechwarrior mercenaries doesn't come near mechwarrior3, i bought mechwarrior 4 and it was a disappointment.

freelancer is going for R99, i'd pay that for the game again! havent played POP but it looked pretty good.

@ skapie, i payed R99 for mechwarrior at some gamingshop in canalwalk.

Gunmetal might be a good buy if you liked the transformer/robotech idea, i think it's going for around R125.

i've only bought 3 fresh games during my entire life, Homeworld 2, Wing Commander 4 and The Last Dynasty.

If you want a good story line, then get StarCraft. If you have an extra R100 then get the expansion. Man, I still play that game. It kept me busy for years to come. My dad however, I bet he could beat any of you at that game.
