Kaftan Barlast Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Ok, so Ive just been paid a handsome sum and that money must be well spent so Im prowling my retailer for games but I dont know what to buy really anymore. Ive played all BIS games, all Bio and all of Troikas and even two desperate flops into the POS games that are Gothic and Divine Divinity. I dont know where to go from here I guess Ive pretty much drained the PC RPG genre so maybe I should look into adventure games or things like that? I pretty much like anything that has a good story. Any tips? AND PC ONLY. CONSOLES ARE EVIL.

EnderAndrew Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 What type of games do you enjoy? I recommend: Freedom Force and Freedom Force 2. Tribes Half Life and Half Life 2 (even if you don't care for FPS games) Civ 3 Evil Genius GTA:SA Arx Fatalis And The Fall is supposed to be getting an English release I do believe.

metadigital Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Rome is better! (The only thing it lacks is zoomable naval battles.) It's sorta like civ on the turn-based main screen, then you can zoom into the RTS battles. Oh, and one of the units is a bunch of boar, which are great to use against the Cartheginian Elephants, once you set them on fire!

metadigital Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Have you played NwN? The platinum pack (i.e. both the SoU and HotU included) is about the same price as a normal game. Play the OC if you want, but the best stuff is in the community hall of fame, imo.

Kaftan Barlast Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 I usually dont like RTS games. I did play WH40K because I dabbed a bit with the figure game in my teens but I never finished it. Freedom Force is labeled as an RPG at my retailer but its a pesuod-RTS sort of like the classic X-com correct? Ill be getting "the longest journey" and I also see that "Bard's tale" has been released for PC, is it any good?

Sarjahurmaaja. Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 In the vein of metadigital's suggestion: have you pounded nails through your genitalia? It would be just about as entertaining as NWN.

metadigital Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Don't get the new Bard's Tale just released on PC. PC Format Review: "A victim of its own sneers, this is the world's first self-paodying game." 45% (Get this if you like: Pyst, Bored of the Rings, National Lampoon's Chess Maniac 5 Billion and 1.) Psychonauts has great reviews. Boiling Point is aparently: "Simultaneously fascinating and flawed, it's the definition of high maintenance." 81% (Get this if you like: GTA: Vice City, Vampire: Bloodlines, Far Cry.)

Reveilled Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Get Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and if at all possible its Alien Crossfire expansion. SMAC is, quite simply, the best of all turn-based strategy computer games except possibly Colonisation. Plus, it is cheap. Buy it now. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
