Alright, so I'm getting married in about a month, and I'm an XBox 360 owner. Why are those two things relevant? Well, being newlywed, I won't be able to afford two things....XBL memberships and Internet.
There in lies the problem. Most of my games I own I keep simply for multiplayer(CoD4, Gears, Halo). Most of the games I want will end up in the same list(CoD:W@W, Gears 2) I've already beat the pants off of the 3 above listed games. And I fear that Gears 2 and CoD:W@W will let me down with lackluster campaigns not worth $60.
I know that games like Left for Dead will be out soon. And I'm reluctantly hesitant about that. I'm afraid the AI will be useless and I'm sure the true joy in that game will come online playing as a zombie or playing the campaign online with friends. Nevertheless, I play on buying Left for Dead. I need it, it has zombies.
And there are a few games in my collection that I still need to beat that have stellar single player campaigns(Half Life series, Bioshock). Not to mention, I know Resident Evil 5 will be mine the day it drops.
But, Toid community, I beseech you to help me in my quest to fill my catelog of games with better single player games. The days of online dominated gaming must end! We can't let the game companies bastardize our beloved video games by making it nothing but online! Please help me!
Thank you

I didn't know it was a crusade... :/
the point of it was that I won't be able to play MP games in a month, and that's all developers seem to make now.
the point is, I need some recommendations on some good single player games to get for a decent price or for a decent goozex point amnt.
As for Left 4 Dead AI...they are good. I was able to get through on Advance difficulty with 0 problem with 3 computers.
But if you want a long single player game, get Fallout 3. Fable II is single player game. Also, Too Human is single player (although the obvious short of them all). Those three games are something to look at.
The Last Remnant is coming out next week, RPGs are usually not short.
I strongly recommend both Oblivion and Fallout 3 for their immersive worlds. These are good for turning off the lights and just diving into the single player experience, losing track of a few hours at a time in the process.
bsd-yea, I know I got the wrong console. I bought it a few years ago when all I did was play games online. and I still do that alot. I'm getting in my time in CoD4 before I have no more online.
Is the PS3 quite a bit better for single player games? I know I want to get MGS4 and Uncharted if I get one.
Good to hear about L4D AI, I was hesitant.
and is Too Human really that good? I hated the demo.
Thanks for the recs.
And if those all end up sucking, you can just play tonnes of RPG's, many of them have 50+ hour storylines, and their are great RPG's on every system.
FarCry 2 is kind of like GTA4 minus the bad plus FPS and Africa. It is a big game as well so if you like FPS, you might want to check it out.
You know, I don't know if the PS3 really is the better choice...they both are limited. But I was without the internet for awhile and mainly played my PS3 with UT3 that looked amazing!
They are about even, but they do have MGS4 and Uncharted. And also PS3 might not have the better online components but it is FREE! So you coudl go online and play Resistance 2 co-op all you want for $0.
either way, I'm hoping to get a ps3. she wants a puppy though, so I'm hoping her=puppy, me=ps3 or bigger hdtv
farcry 2 didn't dazzle me, but it was at least solid. I'd pick it up when it dropped below $30.
and I added Oblivion to my Goozex list.
Ahh, I see.
Mirror's Edge and Fallout 3 FTW then
But if you are ok with games that try to look like movies, then Fable 2 and Fallout 3 are both more that worth a playthrough.
Simple solution: don't get married.
But on a serious note, if you want a great campaign game that'll eat up a good bit of time check out Dead Rising. That game has a shit-ton of replay value and is a blast. I'm pretty sure you can get it used for dirt cheap by now. Also, if you want something newer, Dead Space has been pretty awesome, but the campaign is kind of short.
I came home today, had a voice message in french, and after it was done, my box froze, RRoD.
It's kinda like that movie The Ring. if you get a voice message in french, your doom awaits you.
Meanwhile multiplayer games are getting more and more popularity and theyre getting increasingly good at making them.
Anyway, SHAME ON YOU for not completing the Half Life 2 series yet. Its probably the best single player experience ive had. Also, assuming you got the Orange box youve got Portal too.
Id pick Fallout 3 over Oblivion, just because vanilla Oblivion didnt deserve the praise it got (just imo, of course). Get in on pc and its pretty darn fun with mods. '
FarCry 2 is fun if you like clearing small groups of enemies over and over and over and over and over and fucking over... there is some pretty sweet action in there sometimes though.
Damn the French.
Don't start with the GameStop hate, I'm just trying to help a soon to be poor dude out.
If you have a pc: the witcher enchanced edition, Civilization IV colonization.
Go back and play half life, or System Shock 2, or the Brothers In Arms series...
anyway, how can you live without the internets nowadays?
Online is great and I wish more games had online capabilities but sometimes you want a little more when it comes to a great campaign.
I've decided CoD:W@W is probably a safe pick up, considering I enjoy going through CoD 2 and 4 on Veteran, which takes a while. Plus I spent 4-5 hours getting Mile HIgh Club on Vet, and I am looking forward to the Zombie mini game after CoDW@W
Regardless, Left 4 Dead is going to be a must. I've determined that.
