Jerbsinator Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I need a good PC game to play. Problem is it feels like I have played most of the great games. I need some ideas. Preferably RPG's, action, adventure, or RTS. Games that I have played: Mass Effect 1 and 2 Witcher 1 and 2 Bioshock Deus Ex 1 (currently playing) Diablo 2 + expansion Dead Space 1 and 2 Fallout 3 Neverwinter Nights Dragon Age Origins Left 4 Dead 2 Portal 1 (not that interested in the sequel) Half Life 2, EP1, EP2 Crysis 1 and 2 Batman Arkham Asylum (will try Arkham City...eventually) Titan Quest Torchlight Company of Heroes COD 1 and 2 (not interested in Modern Warfare and all that shit) Sims 1 - 3 Oblivion (will be buying Skyrim sometime soon)
Evilokami Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Terraria can prove a lot of entertainment. You get to explore. It has bosses. it has tons of items. and it's only 10$ and apparently bastion is really good. I have not played it. but i'm only hearing good stuff.
Presto Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I know it's not in the realm of what you're looking for and just to confirm that fact I'd avoid Civilization 5 like the plague. I just downloaded it last night since the previous games have given me so many years of fun but this one is almost insulting how bad and even aggravating it is. Such a let down for a game with such great history.
Guest GingerTom Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Once again not what you're looking for but if I was locked alone in a small room for the rest of my life give me 'Master of Orion' the original game. Size: mbs. Play-worthiness: Forever I had it on on laptop without color and without sound and I was so addicted that many times I stayed up until 5 am playing it when my wife was away.
Kashked Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 My tips would the Assasins Creed series, and Mount & Blade (Warband if you prefer knights, With Fire and Steel if you prefer guns and pikes).
FusRoDah Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 A game in the Total War Series, Perhaps? Or Europa Universalis III? Or Victoria II? Those are all Strategy games though, idk if you'll like 'em.
blueblue Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Freelancer, always freelancer. The game had such a strong fanbase that literally THOUSANDs of solar systems have been created that can be explored, and multiple storylines and playtypes, including battlestar (which I still have never watched, is it any good, or is it one of those shows you have to absolutely love sci fi to start?) and star trek, and one group made our solar system! (crossfire) The entire game is about 80 solar systems, 40 factions, hundreds of landing spots, and the play style that EVE online copied. EDIT: geeze, I sound like an advertisement.
EvenstarGW Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 If you haven't tried them yet, I can really recommend Overlord and Overlord 2. Not very high on replay value but great fun and highly original. Sort of brings back the Dungeon Keeper atmosphere, but with a very different gameplay style. Good humour, and running around with an army of minions at your heel, pillaging stuff, is just good fun.
AlivEc0cK Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 You must play Deus Ex Human Revolution man if nobody has said it yet, if yes then I'm sorry Also Assassin's Creed series is quiet interesting. Resident Evil 5, GTA series (start with GTA IV). I don't know, there are a lot of games I like.
Jerbsinator Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Well, Terreria is kind of like Minecraft, and I don't like that game so ya. I will play Human Revolution when I finish 1 and 2 first. (I got them both for $5 on steam) Total War does sound interesting....as does Supreme Commander, does anyone know if that is a good one?
Symon Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Once again not what you're looking for but if I was locked alone in a small room for the rest of my life give me 'Master of Orion' the original game. Ah! I still play that game, and Master of Magic. (I also like MOO2, but not of course 3). I've always thought that If I owned a games company, I'd upgrade the MOM graphics, increase the number of worlds and opponents and release that as a sure fire winner.
lacan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 X 3 universe,swtor1-2, corsairs all,nwn all,spellforce1-2,and maybe hmm? apd. Drakensang: The Dark Eye
Mashi Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Some of these are pretty old, but if you haven't played them you should. Icewind Dale 1/2 Baldurs Gate 1/2 Fallout 1,2 Planescape: Torment(Sheesh if you haven't played this, you should). Starcontrol 2/3 Starcontrol 2 is free now. Divinity II, I liked it a good bit. Empire TW - Shogun 2, along with Medieval total war 2(if you're a fan of RTS games) Magika if you like a game that isn't serious about itself but fun. If you like spacesims: Freespace 2, then grab the SCP open pack which includes the original Freespace and silent threat, and silent threat expanded(community expansion to close it up), as well as updated graphics(volition released the assets and engine source about 10 years ago, and it's been updated by the mod community ever since) You need a copy of freespace 2, grab from GOG for $5. Grab the java downloader, click gimmie everything. It's about 12gb to download it all, plus other stand alone campaigns and mods. Blue planet is very good. Freespace 2 ingame rendered trailer here and all that: [video=youtube] Ingame looks as good if not better in many cases. Everything else was already mentioned.
lacan Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 oh come on,who need this crap when back to karkand has been released btw Battlefield 3
Siouliusn Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Yup, The Baldur's Gate saga is a must for the pc rpg, and with the mod you can play the 2(+expansions) as a single game. (Saw it last time for ~15€) Trine is pretty good also, reminded me of Lost Vikings for a moment x)
slash69 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 How about Morrowind, and if you feel up to the challenge, Daggerfall?
Jerbsinator Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Honestly I HATED Morrowind. I tried to like it but I just did not like it at all. Oblivion isn't nearly as in depth as it, but it's less annoying and the graphics aren't complete crap.
Symon Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 You never tried Better Bodies, mesh replacers, graphics replacers, MGE or the executable patch Jerbsinator? I agree, Morrowind out of the box looks dreadful. Replace everything and it becomes a superb game.
slash69 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I dunno, out of the box it was the TES game I enjoyed the most. Combat was absolutely terrible though but I loved the lore and diversity in the game. The world seemed very unique and the story very interesting. The graphics didn't really worry me too much, but I have pretty low standards for graphics when it comes to older games. Oblivion (and mostly likely soon Skyrim) win with mods though obviously. On second thought however, it's probably the nostalgia that's making me hold the game so highly. Anyways, I should probably stop going OT. Seeing that you've played FO3, why not try out New Vegas? Although I only spent a bit of time on it, from what I can gather it's generally considered to be quite a step up from FO3.
Guest Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Really? No one's mentioned it yet? Okay then! Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Jerbsinator Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Really? No one's mentioned it yet? Okay then! Amnesia: The Dark Descent Oh ya I forgot about that one. Honestly I am too chicken shit to play that game. It looks freaking terrifying. Also the worst part of Morrowind was the combat. Absolutely HORRIBLE and that is why I dislike it.
Guest GingerTom Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Hold on to your seats--here it comes. It just popped into my memory. This game 'scared' me. I remember jumping out of my seat twice (no, I didn't run out of the room--just out of the seat.) RotH Realms of the Haunting (It's available at GOG--just $5.99.) http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/realms_of_the_haunting It's old graphics with fantastic video cuts, fighting, mysteries, puzzles--you need a walkthru for this one. Here's a quote: 'The graphics may look very old at the beginning but, trust me, once you start playing you won't notice it anymore.' True, true, true. For anyone who ever played it: Remember the cut scene of the man removing his gloves? Scary...
Tenka Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Borderlands all the addictive features of an "action RPG" in a great looking, fun to play FPS.
Guest Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Really? No one's mentioned it yet? Okay then! Amnesia: The Dark Descent Oh ya I forgot about that one. Honestly I am too chicken shit to play that game. It looks freaking terrifying. Also the worst part of Morrowind was the combat. Absolutely HORRIBLE and that is why I dislike it. Understandable And I agree, the stupid luck based combat drove me insane. Any game that features it will have horrible combat. If you're still interested, I can tell you that the total war franchise is downright amazing. It's got the city/empire management like other rts games, however, the battles are the winner here. No game really captures the epicness. And plus, there are many different time periods to choose from. I personally enjoy Rome: Total War the most out of any total war game. But I also like Empire because it has a different spin on things. Medieval 2 + kingdoms has some amazing mods, and Shogun 2 looks beautiful and combines all the features of old games and adds even more which sets it apart from anything else. Civilization games are great if you enjoy city management over battling. It's all preference.
demongoat Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 here's my list of awesome games i'd play forever dawn of war, up to dark millenium, soul storm was a piece of shit and no one liked it. warhammer space marine! one the most epic third person shooters of the last five years! beats gears of war by a long shot simply because you are a fucking space marine! batman arkham city! who doesn't want to play as batman? also saints row the third, now there is a game that should be in the heart of every pervert on this site:P it has a "sex appeal" slider, aka a boob slider! play that shit nao hehe
