Poll: Prototyp Vs. Borderlands VS. Infamous

[User3041]

OMFG NINJAS EVERYWHERE

I have been pulling my hair out over which game to get.
Now i love me a good rpg like borderlands but something inside me just says "I feel like drop kicking a helicopter into a building.
But i have heard good things about infamous and I LOVE SANDBOX GAMES.
I would love to hear your opinions, Im out

 

[Ickorus]

Prototype would be my opinion (Dropkicking a helicopter leaves you with an immense amount of satisfaction) however InFamous has a better storyline.

Borderlands was nowhere near as good as it could have been so i'd leave that till last.

Oh and on Prototype one of my favourite things to do is take out an entire enemy base without being detected then when there's only two left accuse one of the guys of being you, get him killed and then show yourself to the last man standing. And kill him. It's cruel but fun.

 

[Captain Pancake]

Out of those three I've only played Prototype, but I can say that it's good fun to feel like a god, and while it may not be the deepest of the three, for what it's worth, you'll definitely have fun with it.

This is a Versus thread my friend. Although this is your first post so maybe we can go easy on you.
In short: No versus threads are allowed here.

Be nice, he's only asking our opinion of which one he should get first.

 

[SamuelT]

Woah, a triple VS thread. Masses of flames can follow.

Welcome to the Escapist, by the way.

That said, I'd pick Infamous. Prototypes and Borderlands both get very boring after a while.

This is no VS thread, it's an opinion thread.

Borderlands or inFAMOUS. I disliked [Prototype] immensely.

The big question lies upon whether you'll be playing with friends or not.

Yes - Borderlands.
No - inFAMOUS.
Alternative - Find copies of both rather [http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000ZK7ZOE/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1275254615&sr=8-1&condition=used] cheaply [http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000WMEEBM/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1275254607&sr=8-2&condition=used] and have even more fun than the people who will only pick one. That'll show 'em!

Borderlands will last the longest, and if you can get past the lackluster ending, and play with some friends, it's very, VERY fun.

 

[ultrachicken]

First off, prototype won't last you very long at all. Trust me, I was done with it in about 3 days.
inFamous I've yet to play for lack of a PS3.
Borderlands is one of my favorite singleplayer games of all time, go with that one.

 

[Dr. Crawver]

I love borderlands, but only because I'm a kleptomaniac, and have gotten ever legendary weapon

Since when is it against TOS to ask opinions on which games to get? He's not fostering "this thing is better than this thing;" and if the commenter-s get into that, the banhammer is on them... not the OP.

In short: "Chill out sir."

 

[MortalForNow]

In terms of comparing them to see which is the best, I can't really say.

In terms of my personal favorite, it would have to be Infamous. It's got an engaging story, moral choices that mostly make sense, and the gameplay is smooth and fun. Plus, as you said, the open-world aspects are probably some of the best in today's games.

I did the same thing. There was a lot of fun to be had in that game.

Of the ones you listed, I'd say InFamous was my favorite but all of them were great games that I enjoyed playing.

How about this i go for prototype And borderlands then i can fill my satisfaction of dropkicking a helicopter into a building and still get the rpg And sandbox feelings. prototype cheaply priced and borderlands has those 3 great dlcs. (LOLED when i saw The trailers for borderlands)

Thanks for the help and soory about the VS. thing, Noobish mistake eh?

Out of all of them, Infamous is the best in my view (Having only played Infamous and a smattering of Borderlands is probably why this is though).
Infamous is a fantastic singleplayer game, with a great story, though the gameplay aspects do get a bit repetitive at times.

Plus don't grind on the railway tracks too quickly in it.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Never played any of them, but Borderlands seems to be the best option to go with.

Not a bad idea, especially if you're a fan of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, as [Prototype] plays much like it.

Still, I advise you pick up inFAMOUS at some point, seeing as how it's relatively cheap, and one of the greatest super hero games ever made.

Don't sweat it.

I'd go for Prototype.

Borderlands is incredibly boring and grindtastic, so I wouldn't recommend that one. That leaves Prototype vs Infamous. That topic has been discussed to death and they both have their pros and cons, but overall I think Prototype is the better of the two.

 

[Julianking93]

InFamous. Best story of the 3 and the most replay value.

Plus, having electrical superpowers is awesome.

 

[Zannah]

While reading "a good rpg like borderlands", part of my soul probably died...

I'd recommend Prototype, if your playing alone, and borderlands if you desperately need a coop game, that gets tediously grindtastically boring the nanosecond you want to play alone.

WEll i think online in borderlands and having onlines with many friends who have borderlands pestering me to get for the many guns ( OVER 9,000) and great co-op i opted for the two i thought were the bes choices for a multiplayer and signle player sob like myself
