Title: New Game
Post by: Paintcheck on 13-11-2010
I'm in need of some new games to play as right now I have Gmod and Borderlands and that's about it. (And GTA 4 but it is barely playable due to being horribly ported and me stuck with a laptop so..yeah). What is the community playing these days?

Stuff I will not touch
Black Ops/MW2. The CoD series is dead to me since the games are now extremely shitty ports with unjustifiable price tags and are unplayable
Ubisoft games with their retarded "Must be on intrawebs" DRM unless the game has a crack for it (Ie AC2 has a crack that will remove the DRM)
RTS games (I just don't like them. They are too reliant on being Korean and not reliant on skill)
MMO games (grinding sucks and paying $15/month for the "privilege" of doing so is fucking stupid)

My favorite genres are shooters (but it seems good shooters have gone the way of the dodo bird since it only console crap gets released these days) and RPGs.

So hit me with some titles please.

Well, Black Ops does have a great STory. But Since you like RPG's, I say you'd try Two Worlds 2, Dragon Age with all the expansions, New Vegas.

BFBC2

Dragon Age is a good play if you haven't gotten it yet. Also, Mass Effect and ME2 are excellent buys with an amazing mix of RPG and FPS that might even match Borderlands.

BC2 seems kind of "meh" I heard it suffers from the BF2 school of "holy shit this is so unbalanced it isn't funny" in some respects.

Already beat both MEs.

Am hesitant about Dragon Age because I heard its combat requires you to micromanage and hold the hand of all your NPC friends if you want to win. Which sounds very RTS to me. Which sounds unappealing. And because games for some one reason never have demos any more I can't try it to see if I'd like it first.

New Vegas seems kind of appealing but I already have FO3 and don't really think NV is worth $50.

If I don't play TF2, I play ether Minecraft (really fun in mp) or League of Legends, It's for free and it's like DotA

I could also recommend New Vegas, I also have Fo3 and when new vegas reales I tought "meh, not going to buy that, will be just like a dlc" But I was fucking surprise, it's really fun to play and it's like Fo1 and Fo2 just in First Person.

Also a Game is recommend is DarkSiders and also Risen and Gothic 4: Arcania
Title: Re: New Game
Post by: Paintcheck on 13-11-2010
Gothic 4 got bad reviews, as did Risen.

Darksiders has intrigued me since it launched on consoles, I am waiting for PC Gamer to review it before deciding for sure to buy it. (Fuck how nothing has a demo any more.)

Never played DotA and really doubt I would like it or anything like it since I am not Korean.

So NV is worth it then. Ok will keep that in mind.

oh btw The Force Unleashed 2 is also awesome.

and If you don't want to spend any money, try Lord of the Rings Online, it's f2p and it also has some RP servers, me and Akira play on a rp server and we make money trough playing songs like trough the fire and flames or Lady Gaga and whatever

I also recommend Stalker Series, Black&White Series, Lost Planet 1&2

If you want to scare the shit out of you in a cool fps horror game, try out Amnesia, freaking awesome game, has horror elements and puzzle

hmm what else, try playing Gameboy colour, I am playing with it when I am bored and I found hell of a fun at it again with the old pokemon series or Zelda.

Also if you have a PS3 I recommend getting Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 13.

hope that helps a bit

Post by: Paintcheck on 14-11-2010
I don't own any piece of shit console and I do not plan to. (Because they suck and also because it would be prohibitively expensive for me to buy one since I don't have a TV and I don't really have the space for one).

No interest in Amnesia, have played SoC and been considering CoP, maybe next time it's on sale.

Doubt I would like LOTR because I know nothing about that universe and other than subscription fees MMO combat tends to be boring as fuck and lacking in RP (although you say LOTR has RP but that is kind of lost on me since I don't know the canon anyway).

TFU 1 apparently was unplayable due to a shitty port job so TFU2 doesn't appeal to me since I'd have to play the (shitty) first one.

Try Savage 2: A Tortured Soul. You can try it for free and if you are sure, you can purchase the better stage of the game. Savage 2 has a great fighting engine and includes all 3rd person, FPS, RTS and RPG. It is a little old, but it is still played.

I recommend Two worlds 2, I am playing it, Its super awesome...but its only released in europe if you want to buy go to gamersgate.com or torrent it (USA and other continents release is on 4th january)
Title: Re: New Game
Post by: lolKieck on 14-11-2010
Still doesn't change the fact Two Worlds II isn't the best game, I'd try out the Witcher, it's a good game, though didn't play it.
Title: Re: New Game

I am not saying its the best game..i am just saying its good.

Paintcheck.

I also suggest BFBC2. It's not as bad as MW2 or any of the COD series. Plus I met a very mature clan on their. Good times.

Why don't you look into mods rather then buying a game.

SofII double helix: Epic.

Post by: Chrono on 15-11-2010
AOE (age of empires) I still have the Cd..i played for ages, its great, Age of mythology is good too. Now a RPG from snes : Chrono trigger (yeah i got my name from it) its super fun, you would love it...and if you have TES IV you might want to get these mods : Oscuro oblivion overhaul, Actors in charge (if you like rping), Alternative oblivion magic, Supreme Magicka , Midas Magic spells of Aurum , LAME (Less annoying magic experience) and The no psychic guards ( yay murder and steal without the whole continent knowing.)
Title: Re: New Game

Damn it, now I'm stuck in a rut of crappy games.

Tried playing Bad Company 2, but it feel so... off? I don't know, guns feel weak.
I'd play 2142, but again, things feel awkward.

Tried to play Stalker, is fun, but I need a squad like game. Something with friends. Stalker online seems real fun, but I can't play on any of the servers.

ARMA 2 is filled with too many mods. Pain in the ass to get on any server.



Boredom... Need help, ideas? Team work, relatively good combat, online?

Stalker+Buddies= Awesome. And not SRP.
Title: Re: New Game
Post by: Knife_cz on 17-11-2010
Mass effect or dragon age-thats for sure best RPGs for me,fps-you might wait for portal 2 or if you didnt played metro 2033..or chronicles of Riddick :D,im not sure..i dont know you.

PR:BF2.
Lots of teamwork, squad based combat.
Www.realitymod.com (http://www.realitymod.com)

Should work for you seeing as your too simple to get on any Arma2 server. If anything, from my experience, A2 servers kick you for having mods enabled. Give me a shout, I'd happily play it with you.

We should start the PR Squad again, I think.

I tried the whole ARMA 2 Mod servers. But its a pain to find the right version with all the right orders of crap.

People always bitched at me for either having an extra mod, or for being the wrong version in ARMA 2.

Also, servers are either 2 players, or 20 players that I can't join. I don't have the expansions.
Title: Re: New Game
Post by: Steel on 17-11-2010
Ah that would be the reason why then, if you had them then it would be different.

But if you want tactical challanging combat:

Buy BF2 and download Project Reality.
Title: Re: New Game
Post by: Paintcheck on 17-11-2010
If DA had a fucking demo I would probably have bought it 50 times over already but because it doesn't and because none of my friends own it I haven't been able to try it and I am worried how it handles combat will make me sad.

I have had a good fun on ARMA, just gets to be a pain when no one wants you on. Cause I don't use team speak, I just listen.
Title: Re: New Game

Starcraft 2 if you like RTS.

Some servers have Voice over network, VOIP or whatever you want to call it.

Any domination server or Warfare server will accept you, no one will have any problem with you playing.

Ive added you on steam anyway.
