Games with long campaigns.

[Inequality Street]

I have an Xbox One, but have no real desire to play anything online, as most people are gimps.

I generally like games like COD (FPS), but their campaigns are quite short, so I'm looking for something more lenghty.

Recently picked up Balltefield 4 and Far Cry 4 quite cheaply as I've never played either (yet to be delivered).

Any recommendations for something that won't take 5 minutes to complete? I'm also fine with old games, as I haven't played much before. So am edging towards buying cheaper old ones, rather than a new one for £50.

You'll have a great time with Far Cry. Nice long campaign & brilliant gameplay!

just bought witcher 3, as its game of the year thought id give it a go its like £20 on ebay 2nd hand reviews look good too.

FC4 has the shortest and most disappointing campaign in recent memory.

Witcher 3 had a great campaign, but isn't very FPS like.

Honestly, there really has not been many really good games for the latest generation of consoles, quite disappointing really. Witcher 3 and Bloodborne are the only games from the current gen that I really loved. Dark Souls 2, Last of Us and GTA5 all got nice make-overs, but they're not really current gen.

Short? Surely you must have either played it wrong or rushed through it.

The game can be long if you include taking all the bell towers and enemy bases (which gets really repetitive) - but the actual campaign itself is very short.

Ahh I see. I quite enjoyed those parts of the game

I platinum'd FC4. It's a good game, it's definitely worth anyones time. It just wasn't brilliant. I was really disappointed by the actual campaign, it's only got 35 missions.

The other thing for me was it was just a bit easy. When I play FPS type games I'm usually the stealthy sniper type, and on FC4 very early on you can get a very good sniper rifle which one-shot kills with headshots from any distance, which makes taking the outposts and absolute breeze, you just sniper down about 8 people and it's job done. Also, the four main boss outposts are no harder to take than the normal outposts which baffled me a bit. I thought when trying to take Pagan Min's fortress it'd be like a final epic mission, like a war, but it's was just a built up outpost with about 8-10 people in it that you gun down and then it's job done.

The obvious one is GTA.

I also love the Tomb Raider games on XB1. They are fantastic.

Fallout 4 will give you hours and hours of play.

 

[Goodj]

As above, just buy fallout 4, you can use it like one massive COD map and run around, jump off buildings, and 360-noscope Raider newbs all day.

 

[banther]

To be honest FC4 will see you right for a bit. Fo4 as mentioned above.

 

[Marc.]

Fallout 4
Destiny - the most FPS / CoD of the four, I'd say.
GTA V
The Witcher 3

Thats one of the few games I had on Xbox 360, that and COD was about it lol!

Tomb Raider is on my radar, but a little expensive at the moment as it's still quite new.

Have you played the Definitive Edition? Came out some time ago but is absolutely fantastic.

Can probably be had cheaper with a bit if digging.

 

[Dan The Top Bloke]

^^ was free on xbox a little while ago.

Nope! Never played that. I'll have a search tonight for it to see if it's still free! (I didn't know XB1 did free games! Only had the console a week or so)

Nice one, thanks! Will keep an eye out on the 16th.

 

[Dan The Top Bloke]

sometimes is crappy like couminty made games and stuff but theres been some good ones, AC black flag and tomb raider as of late,when you boot it up look at the three boxes on the right on the home screen its one of those i think bud.

 

[banther]

If you're low on space download then delete then you can always go back and install it even if they're charging for it again

 

[Dan The Top Bloke]

or get a extrernal hard drive

Yep, I got it when it was free. I'd happily have paid full whack for it though. Brilliant game.

 

[Inequality Street]

Bought Fallout 4 from someone on here for £25! Happy days, with these 3 games, thats me sorted for a while

Dragon Age inquisition is good - if you like a long, single player games I'd be looking at RPGs rather than FPS like COD.
The campaign in BF4 is terrible, that is really only a game to play online...

 

[iain187]

what's just cause like? seen a lot of action packed adverts but not a lot on here?

 

[banther]

or get a extrernal hard drive :smile:

Or that. Just he doesn't seem like a 'mega gamer' so unlikely to benefit - horses, courses etc.

Piss take that you have to buy one really!

 

[_Tom]

Far cry is the one tbh. Cant wait for the next and cant remember another game I've enjoyed as much a FC4.

 

[Gareth]

The next one looks sh*t though.

 

[banther]

Yeah who wants to f**king melee or bow and arrow their way through a game (Skyrim players hush)? Odd concept - looks more like a FC4 mod than genuinely new game

Fallout 4 is probably the best value for money as u can play it forever :smile: plus Fallout 3 has been added to backwards compat so can be bought for pennies if u wanted to try that 2. My all time favourite games :smile:

Be warned though it will take all your free time

He's on Xbox, so FO3 is free.

 

[Brand86]

I thought the new Far Cry looks pretty cool. I would rather it went into sillier territory though and had dinosaurs in. Or better yet, mechadinosaurs - Far Cry Blood Dragon showed that these guys can do crazy if they want to!

 

[Waitey]

I loved Far Fry 3 and 4.

I've even restarted 4 I liked it that much.

I don't know about forever, but there is a good 100 odd hours in it.
