I need a new game...suggestions?

Post by zzar »

Here are the games I really enjoy:

Xbox
Fallout 3
FO:New Vegas
Skyrim
Brothers in Arms:Hell's Highway

PC
Company of Heroes


Games I kinda like:

Oblivion (Xbox)
Tropico 3


Besides maybe Morrowind with graphics mods I am not finding anything to play and Skyrim DLC is at least 3 months off.

I did not get any FO:NV DLCs because they all seemed a bit too linear.

I really enjoyed Red Dead's story, but once i finished it I was done, I didn't go back...

I don't have very strong PC or Xbox Live...or 50$ for a meager 8 hour single player campaign.

Any suggestions?

If you have the money, i'd suggest any of Bioware's offerings, however I would caution against getting Risen, which was the most boring rpg I've ever encountered.

Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel are great games that are dirt cheap these days, it should be no problem to run them.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

I tried Dragon Age Origins, but didn't like it much...so I have 15$ credit at Gamestop to find something else...

ps - Tiger Woods 09 is pretty fun, never thought it would be

Oh damn, you already included Morrowind...

Other than that, do you have Steam?

No, but it would be easy to get, I guess... on Steam Morrowind and Star Wars:KotOR seem interesting.

Yeah, I've watched IGN review... it seems kind of like the way games used to be, 8/16-bit era... a fun arcade/adventure kind of game. Maybe when it drops to 29.99$.

IDK if i'd like ME, didn't really care for BioShock or Half-Life, the other two seem like Diablo rips


(I am really picky about games/tv/movies, if it wasn't for Bethesda I wouldn't have played any games since Dec 2009 [I didn't play any games from 04-08])

Wait, what? How is an action-adventure game like Assassins Creed remotely like Diablo? If anything, it's more like an Indiana Jones film, if Indiana Jones was about assassins and took place in the Crusades or the Renaissance and Indy was a hitman and had elements of GTA-style sandbox freedom. Or something.

Assassin Creed is like RDR in Renaissance Florence from what I've seen.

Gothic like Diablo? :shock: Does this looks like Diablo to you?

Others...The Witcher 2, or maybe Neverwinter Nights, Metro 2033 ......

Not an entirely bad comparison.

What about Mount & Blade?
För kriget det kan, Förgöra en man
Jag ger mitt liv för mitt fosterland
Men vem saknar mig?
Så se mig som den, En make en vän
Fader och son som aldrig kommer hem
Men vem sörjer mig?

~Make Peace Not War.

Mount & Blade is awesome, but you have to have a certain... disposition, to enjoy the game. It's like Mimecraft; deep but ugly. No harm in trying the Warband demo, though.

If you like CoH, I'd recommend trying Men of War; be warned, it's brutally difficult. Mass Effect may also be a good idea; it's made by the same guys who did Dragon Age, which you say you didn't like, but it's a lot more action oriented than DA. Again, no harm in trying a demo!
