FIFA 12 or Skyrim? I know, I know, it's like comparing chalk and cheese but I can get one of them and not sure which. I love my footie and I love my dungeon crawlers.

Advice please.

It depends on whether your after longevity aswell skyrims longevity is really only in the fact of if your replay it again where as fifa 12 you have the online side.

Personally i gave up on fifa games as so many people will drop from the game if they are losing which ruins the enjoyment of the game.

And 11 v 11 games when the only position you can usually get is a defender & if your playing the game properly you the only 1 who's actually in defence while the rest of the team are rushing up field to try & score.

True about longevity regarding Skyrim although isn't it around a hundred hours long? I haven't bought a FIFA game since FIFA 10 as I don't fall for the 'by the update each year' thing, but figure now could be a good time to rejoin. The people dropping out are always a pain - I personally don't mind losing and trying to snatch that last gasp equaliser!

It's either one of these two or pop into town and pick up a couple of the cheaper older games like Heavy Rain and Red Dead Redemption.

I've never really be one for sport games and skyrim did have some issues on PS3 but I think they've sorted it now and although I haven't played either I do know people who have so I can at least let you know what they thought

Skyrim really seems to be like every other Bethesda game really, it can last you quite a while if you really get into it and try to find and complete all of the side missions but as for main story line you're probably not looking at very long so I would say Skyrim if you are willing to really play it and attempt to complete everything.

As for FIFA, it is likely to be like every other FIFA game with a few minor changes but overall it is still the same game and I'm sure that playing online no game would ever really be the same so you could take that into consideration when deciding.

my end decision...go for Skyrim

As for possible Heavy Rain or Red Dead Redemption - Heavy Rain has a brilliant story but bear in mind that it is all cutscenes and different possibilities, it's considered an interactive drama rather than a game and Red Dead Redemption is a great game, there is also going to be a fortnightly community event so if you did get it then you could join in with that as well.

Devilworker - that is a class avatar! Just brought back so many lemming memories!

Ah lemmings 2 the tribes was pure gaming class.

[Devilworker2]

Lemmings were brilliant, they had something for everyone even if you just wanted to see hundreds of lemmings explode into fireworks

Why not got FIFA 11, Game/Gamestation have it for like £2, and then get Skyrim too? That way, you still have the online side of FIFA, as F10 has been shut down, but F11 still remains open. And then, in a few months time, FIFA 13 (or whatever they decide to call this years batch of games) will be out.... just an idea

[IrishViper1]

Skyrim reason being it's a dam good game,,reason not to get fifa if you already have a fifa game then you already have this one.

[Nakatsu_Hime]

Personally, I'd buy Skyrim now, and then look for FIFA11 preowned at stupid cheap prices.

thanks for that link, I used to love lemmings 

I'd pick skyrim out of those two, there is supposedly 300 odd hours of content.
