[quote name='HeadRusch']One other thing to mention...GRAW2's single player and multiplayer are still two different game engines, the Multiplayer "controls better" than the singleplayer game does, which is more reliant on "spray and pray". In multiplayer you at least have to aim at your targets.
In Single player you really just put that gigantic silver-dollar sized reticule over your target and start spraying bullets and eventually they go down...thats one of the things that sucks about the game, the multiplayer is actually the superior feeling of the two games.....requiring you to aim.[/quote] What are you talking about? The single player is anything but sporadic firing. You obviously have the whole idea of the game wrong. It is not a game you just run out with your guns blazing. They give you all sorts of weapons to choose from, but if you choose a short range firearm for your primary weapon, you just don't get the idea and you aren't going to have fun at all. The game is named Ghost "RECON". You are the squad leader. The idea is that you go prone with your sniper rifle and send your team up ahead in recon mode. You direct them to places to take cover. They spot targets, along with your UAV drone. You order them to take out specific targets or send them into weapons hot mode or you just lay back and pick off the enemies in the open from a couple hundred yards out and they can't do anything about it except go into hiding.
Some levels get more hectic. Sometimes you go solo and sometimes you are at the gun of a helicopter or a couple of times the enemy comes down on you in an ambush. But those moments are just to break up the rest of the Recon/Sniping missions. If you run into this game, guns blazing and throwing bullets everywhere and have a hard time hitting anything, you just don't get it.
If you don't like the game that's fine. I didn't like what I played of one of the original series (pre-Warfighter). But don't go giving bad impressions when you are simply just bad at the game.
[quote name='GuyWithGun']I'm in the same dilemma. I could buy both, but am always hesitant to spend that much money. I've played the GRAW 2 demo and enjoyed it but heard single player was pretty short, and have never played Vegas but have heard many many good things.
Looks like a steady showing of support for Vegas right now. I was leaning in that direction myself, just from what I've read on here. Perhaps I'll ask for GRAW 2 for Christmas or wait for a price drop or something. Thanks for all the help guys, and keep the comments coming if you've got them![/quote]If you liked the PS3 GRAW2 demo, I would say you will like the game. I almost didn't try the demo because I have never liked a Tom Clancy game. But I had no PS3 games. So I tried it. I played through the demo a few times and decided I had to get the game. I have had it three weeks and I still love it (as in I play it every day, single player). I think you would like it, but in the end you have to decide what kind of game you like. They are different games.
As for RS:V, I have wanted it ever since I got into GRAW2. I finally bought it from BB Monday with the sale. I haven't played it near as much as GRAW2, but from what I can tell so far it's not my style so much. As others have said, it is closer quarters and fast-twitch trigger happy action so far. It certainly is easier close range aiming, but near impossible to aim at distances even a small fraction of what you have in GRAW2. This is not to say I have not enjoyed it. I would compare it to a squad based Splinter Cell (which I never liked) with more firepower before I would compare it to GRAW2. R6:V and GRAW2 are just way too different and both are enjoyable on their own merits.
