Left 4 dead 2...Or garry's mod.

[DoubleDabble]

I have been on steam for a couple of years and i was wondering. I want to get left 4 dead 2. But i wanna get Garry's mod aswell. These 2 games are great and i just want a game that i can go back to and have more fun with people. I have a 20-40 doller budget and just wondering. (Again) A game that just makes me want to play and play again. Thanks!

I think Garry's mod with TF2 (free) could let you have longer enjoyment, if you end up liking it. That's because you'll find yourself playing the same maps or map types over and over again with random people. This can go on for hundreds of hours.

L4D2, imo, has a finite story and playthrough.. You can repeat it but you may not want to. Once you finish it, you'll probably move on to another game.

However, considering that when both go on sale, they are around $5 or less each, I don't see why you couldn't get one now at full price, and another one later at sale price.

You also may be someone who feels you can only get the most enjoyment from Garry's mod if you buy more and more Source games. In that case, the costs will add up. Otherwise, I know several people who play with just TF2, and they are still putting in lots of hours having fun.

I vote Left 4 Dead 2.

Are you competitive and work well with others in a small team? Left 4 Dead 2 takes some time to learn how to correctly play and find a good bundle of friends to really work well together and own in. It becomes addictive over time and then replayable for ages. It's a great game if your willing to learn. If you previously liked Team Fortress, Dota, etc - go for this.

Or do you perfer casual, sandbox styled funny games. Garry's Mod is a sandbox to just play around in, there's no real goal, but rather just create stuff. If you previously liked Minecraft, etc - go for this.

GMOD as it has games within a game. GMOD is not just building crap using the props anymore. http://gmod.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Gamemodes

unless you have at least CS Source, i recommend L4D2

Yes this is correct. I kept reading the Steam's description for this and that's what I got out of it, that it is some kind of sandbox world game etc. But when I saw friends playing it in multiplayer, there is that sandbox mode part, but also more maps and game types that just let people play other types of games.

For example, one was called Murder or something like that. The people all join and one is randomly chosen to be a murderer, and he is given a knife. His goal is to kill the other players without revealing himself, and the others are supposed to guess who the murderer is. He wins by killing everyone or they win by finding out who he is, and then killing him.

It reminds me of the days of multiplayer Starcraft when your teammate would not click on "Win" because he was preparing to stab you in the back, and he had been planning that all along, but everyone would be saying "it's not me, someone else isn't clicking it" until finally the backstabber guy revealed himself.

Another was where you transform yourself into some object in the game map, and the other team has to find out what you are. The time was limited so there would be a winning team and losing team.

I thought those were kind of interesting map types that never got revealed just by reading the description of the game.
