Have to spend 15€ on Ebay, help needed!

Closed

For some reason I got a 15€ PayPal coupon on Ebay out of nowhere. That's nice, but I don't really know what to spend it on and it will become invalid in a few days. There are three games that look interesting to me, but I'm not sure about any of them:

  1. Rust. Looks like a nice game, but it seems to be mixture of Garry's Mod and DayZ. Messing around with silly stuff and spawn killing other players for equipment. I tried Garry's Mod and didn't like it, it was simply too pointless for me. Is there any actual gameplay worth mentioning in Rust (other than messing around and laughing about silly looking naked people)?

  2. Borderlands 2 GOTY. I played Borderlands 1 and it was somewhat ok, but in the end it was just Diablo converted to a 1st person shooter. Not bad, but not great either. Is Borderlands 2 much better than 1? Or is it exactly the same thing just with a few new missions and maps and updated graphics?

  3. Far Cry 3. I would buy this immediately, but my PC is not that great. I only have a Core2Duo e8400, 4 gb ram and an ATI 4890. I don't mind reducing a few settings (guess I'd have to do that in the two other games as well, especially in Rust), but if I have to play on lowest settings possible with 20 fps then it's not much fun. Would it run ok with medium settings and medium resolution or can I completely forget about it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, and of course I have an awesome game to give away.

Are you sure it isn't one that you have a certain amount for it to work?
Anyway, I'd recommend Bordlerlands 2 GOTY. I haven't played much of either yet but BL2 definitely is better and heard good things about some of the DLC.

Thanks, already thought this would become a 'who is able to read more than the topic title' contest. The coupon has no minimum amount and even covers shipping costs (which wouldn't matter for a Steam game). I had another one with 10€ and it worked fine (bought Insurgency for that one).

What is better in BL2? I heard good things about it as well, but I wasn't a huge fan of BL1 (though I thought it was ok)so I'm wondering if BL2 is really that much better.

Hm, that's pretty nice.
I, again, still haven't played much of them but I just generally found myself being able to get into BL2 easier. I preferred the weapons quite a bit more, for a start.

Do NOT buy rust!!! ;) maybe you like 7 days to die;) it is a little bit like rust, but there are not so much spawn killer, cheater and it is not so much alpha.

And yes, borderlands 2 is very great!!!

7 Days to Die has lots of negative reviews on Steam, is it really good? I like zombie games, but I didn't consider this one since it looked like a failed/crappy Early Access.

EDIT: Actually it doesn't have any positive reviews, not even one. But lots of negative reviews.

Far Cry 3 is not so demanding on HW i have pretty similar machine and it runs great. Rust is ruined by cheaters and Borderlands 2 GOTY contains only few DLC and dozens you have to buy if you want to full game. Pick Far Cry 3...

Could you post your specs please so I can compare? My GPU is usually not the problem if I slightly reduce the graphic settings, but the Core2Duo can really be a bottleneck in games that were made with quad cores in mind.

Have farcry 3 and just got bl2 and both are awesome you cannot go wrong with either. Bl2 would be the best if your looking for something to last awhile and have a good amount of replayability though farcry 3 is a blast to play as well.
