View Full Version : recommend me a computer game
celluloid_love 06-15-2008, 10:10 AM here is the kind of thing i am into
final fantasy 7
zelda
shadow of the colossus
the neverhood
toonstruck
dreamfall
mario
half-life 2
so basically non-generic rpg and adventure games. a strategy game like advance wars or warcraft 3 is acceptable but it has to be something really exceptional otherwise it won't hold my attention for more than about 3 minutes
recently played lostwinds on wiiware, enjoyed it muchly
things i don't like generally are boring-ass FPS', real-time strategy and MMO's. i want a primarily single player game
celluloid_love 06-15-2008, 10:12 AM it can be on pc, wii or ds

PkPhuoko 06-15-2008, 10:15 AM for PC... ummm im gonna rule out MMORPGS
Spore comes out on tuesday I think
teh b0lly!!1 06-15-2008, 10:21 AM teh bolly you are a genuine shithead
i dont know if its cute or sad that you resort to insults that quickly to defend a bunch of video games
celluloid_love 06-15-2008, 10:22 AM i dont care what you think about those games, go piss on someone else's thread
Nothing/everything 06-15-2008, 10:36 AM brian lara international cricket.
ChristHimself! 06-15-2008, 10:38 AM yeah get the orange box
you'll get another copy of hl2 but you'll get year one and two, and more importantly portal + tf2
GlasgowKiss 06-15-2008, 10:52 AM Portal
Yeah.
Mass Effect looks really fucking bland but its grand.
JapanAlex 06-15-2008, 10:59 AM you should download skulltag
-just google it-
it's an online version of doom/doom2/hexen etc etc and lots of new WADs for it - it's really fun to play even though most players are around 13 years old..
or I have a Japanese RPG I can perhaps upload (?) - it's really fucking scary but a bit weak in the storyline department.
bardy 06-15-2008, 11:35 AM for PC... ummm im gonna rule out MMORPGS
Spore comes out on tuesday I think
after I realized the small amount of interaction with other players I became less excited about this game. I'll probably still buy it though... it really comes out on tuesday? I thought it was fall 2008.
duovamp 06-15-2008, 02:44 PM Mass Effect
A hell of a third person shooter / RPG. I was expecting it to be more of a shooter, but it's a very immersive RPG at its core.
commando 06-15-2008, 02:46 PM Knights of the Old Republic.
best. game. ever.
duovamp 06-15-2008, 02:48 PM It's good, but pretty old. That's like suggesting somebody give Secret of Mana a play.
Shapan 06-15-2008, 02:48 PM you should play super mario rpg on a snes emulator if you havent played that game
commando 06-15-2008, 02:49 PM that one's also fun. I liked Paper Mario wii, too.
commando 06-15-2008, 02:50 PM It's good, but pretty old. That's like suggesting somebody give Secret of Mana a play.
I got it used a couple years ago on amazon for like $5.00. Quite possibly the greatest enjoyment/cost ratio I've ever experienced in my life.
Mablak 06-15-2008, 03:08 PM F all the previous suggestions. Download Worms Armageddon even if you've tried it before, it's full of strategy and also has a lot of skills you can develop in each of the schemes, especially roping. The 1 player is pretty fun and challenging for a beginner, but the online play is a ton of fun and teaches you so much more, you gotta try that.
I think if you just look for worms armageddon iso you can find it anywhere, then I guess you just need the patch at wa.team17.com.
Travis Meeks 06-15-2008, 03:25 PM for PC... ummm im gonna rule out MMORPGS
Spore comes out on tuesday I think

unlachs 06-15-2008, 06:10 PM metroid prime is a pretty kickass adventure game
it's on the gamecube so you can play it on your wii, and it'll be dirt cheap
tshawki 06-15-2008, 10:06 PM Go old school and play OREGON TRAIL. Hunt Bison!!!!!
Seriously...
bardy 06-15-2008, 10:12 PM when does that new MMORPG come out

celluloid_love 06-15-2008, 10:14 PM worthwhile suggestions so far
HL2 orange box

When Season 4 comes out in 2 weeks you can get the season 2 swords with honor.
You could always get the new heroic badge fists (major dps upgrade)
btw I got the main hand warglaive off Illidan a few weeks ago :p
We started sunwell last week and got kalecgos down.... SHOULDA STAYED ON MY SERVER PUNK
PkPhuoko 06-15-2008, 11:19 PM To answer the original posters question here are my top 5 games available for PC right now that aren't in your list.
5) The Witcher - RPG.... great graphics, probably need a 256mb graphics card to run it very well.
4) F.E.A.R. series- If you like FPS's and haven't played this it's mandatory. Great game, very intelligent A.I., very very scary.
3) Neverwinter Nights 2- RPG, one of the better RPG's of the past 5 years. Good storyline, good replay value, decent difficulty.
2) Bioshock- FPS/RPG elements... probably need 256mb graphics card for this as well. Great game, very unique, probably in my top 10 of all time on any console.
1) World of Warcraft- MMORPG/Monthly Fee: if you're one of 9 people in the world who havent played this, its time to check it out.

yeah my internet connection sucks right now so I cant really do a lot of badge grinding, but they will change in a week or so... so right now I do the sunwell dailies and grind for honor... even though I don't like pvping, haha.
my guild has gone through a lot of changes lately. they decided they wanted to be a leveling guild and not a raiding one, so all the raiders left to another guild. then all the people that left hated the new one and missed the people who stayed behind... and formed a sister guild just for raiding. sooooo its kind of starting from scratch again but that's okay because there are only a few rogues in the guild so far and that means I get to go to all the ones I'm geared for. And the people are awesome. not angry nerds like in most guilds. well there are a few but thats just how WoW works.
bja1288 06-15-2008, 11:29 PM my cousin gave me his trial and WoW cds and i threw it away because i value what little of a social life i have
bardy 06-15-2008, 11:30 PM I only really play wow when I dont feel like being social. like one weekday nights or on sundays when im doing laundry. there isnt ever anything good on TV anymore anyway =/

I hate PvP. We only raid Mon-Thurs for about 3 hours so we're far from "hardcore". But I guess some of us are somewhat nerdy as I'd say about 20 of us are going to blizzcon this year.
Are you planning on playing when the expansion comes out?
celluloid_love 06-16-2008, 12:10 AM brady no one cares about your world of warcraft shit
