AMD Rewards Gold game choices...

[DoubleYou]

So, I get three free games through AMD Rewards. Thing is, I don't know which ones to get. Which ones would ya'll suggest?

[*]Tomb Raider [*]Hitman Absolution [*]Sleeping Dogs [*]Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut [*]Dirt 3 (not considering as last time I played a racing game, I wrecked my car soon after...) [*]Thief [*]Darksiders 1 [*]Darksiders 2 [*]Alan Wake [*]Titan Quest Gold Edition [*]Supreme Commander Gold Edition [*]Dungeon Siege III [*]Just Cause 2 [*]Murdered: Soul Suspect [*]Company of Heroes 2 [*]Total War: SHOGUN 2 [*]PayDay 2 [*]Sniper Elite 3

I got similar choices when I got a new AMD card a few months ago. Murdered: Soul Suspect seemed pretty good based on forums and reviews, and since it's a recent game it isn't available at a low cost anywhere. Several of the choices on the list are available at fairly low prices at Steam or GOG on a regular basis so I eliminated those. I took Company of Heroes 2 since the reviews were very positive, and it is also fairly recent and expensive if you buy it.

Since I have been wanting them I would go with the Darksiders games and probably Thief.

Sleeping Dogs isn't a great game, I wouldn't recommend it at all. It just feels like a GTA but without the fun, or even a charismatic character for that matter.

Same goes for Thief, a game based on stealth where enemies forget you were there after 5 seconds and where you can basically keep running in circles with a stupid AI that won't know what to do if you're 5cm above the ground... Seriously, the game might look good, until the moment where you get spotted by a guard and realize how broken the game mechanics are.

Titan quest & Supreme commander are way too cheap to be worth it. :P

Payday 2 is a blast if you play it with friends. Not a great choice if you plan to play with pubs though, they'll usually just run around rushing missions for the XP and take away the fun of the game. :|

I think I'm going to go with Darksiders II, Just Cause 2, and Deus Ex. Thanks for the help.

The Thief version in the AMD options is the recent version of Thief that, as CJ mentions, isn't getting nearly as good reviews as the original versions.

Deus Ex, go for it for sure. If you liked the previous games from this series, you should enjoy this one too. It's got really good atmosphere. Get ENB or some SweetFX preset to get rid of the orange tint.

 

Just Cause II is a lot of fun actually, and you can mod it as well to improve graphics etc. :) 

 

I would also recommend Hitman:Absolution. A lot of hard core fans complained about it, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I think it's a great game. Yeah, it's a bit simpler than the previous ones, but it's still a lot of fun!
