Oh yeah, DS3! I haven't heard the hottest things about the first two, but Obsidian's developing it so I'm very interested.

Don't forget about Mythos. It just came out and is a free-to-play Diablo MMO essentially. Haven't put enough time into it to decide how good it is though.

I often don't get around to buying games I'm interested in until way WAYYYY after launch. For example, I just bought Demigod. I was thinking about picking up Alpha Protocol and I was wondering: is it any good/ did all the crap get patched out of it? Additional: Can anyone recommend me some fun wii games where the motion controls add to the experience? Or a Wii boxing game that handles as well as Wii Sports boxing?

AP is well worth a shot; it really rewards multiple playthroughs so you'll get your moneys worth, no bother. The action segments can be a bit clunky, but if you've played Deus Ex then you'll adapt quickly, and the "talky" aspects of the game make up for shortcomings elsewhere. To make things relatively painless, stick with pistols+stealth for your first run, and don't play on hard until you've unlocked the veteran class. As for Wii games, the best waggle-oriented one is still Metroid Prime 3, which isn't quite as good as 1+2...which isn't a problem if you can get a hold of the Trilogy for a reasonable price. If you haven't played the Prime games, rectify matters immediately.

Alpha Protocol is criminally underrated. It's what would happen if all the crap Bioware spout about "choice" congealed into its own game.

You can't move bodies, they just vanish after a period of time. The stealth mechanics are really ramshackle. Basically every part of the game that isn't picking a dialog option is complete poo poo, which is why it was panned. It's still worth a shot if you get it on sale. After playing through it a couple times, I can see why people like it. It's just that the gameplay is so drat bad. And no, it never got fixed in patches.

I don't think Alpha Protocol's gameplay is bad, I like it a lot. It's got flaws, sure, but busting into a room with active camo and stealth-murdering 3 guys with your bare hands then shooting the last guy in the face with a shotgun before he knows what's up never gets old.

Picked it up on steam (even though it was cheaper on gog.com I discovered later  ) and this is great. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm looking for a PC RPG (action or otherwise) I can break, like Morrowind: sneaking around and finding overpowered weapons early, crafting a random spell/equipment combination that makes you unstoppable for a good chunk of the game, killing guards to take their awesome armor. All that fuckery that's been patched or balanced out in newer games. I'm a munchkin and I admit it. Games I loved: Divinity II: Dragon Knight Saga Neverwinter Nights + Expansions NWN2: MotB (played original and Zehir, they were okay) Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines Icewind Dale 1 & 2 Baldur's Gate 2 (although I don't have the time for a game that long anymore) Borderlands Games that were 'meh': Gothic 4 - Combat isn't bad, but it's incredibly linear. Secrets consist of 'collect 30 hidden objects to get a powerful weapon'. Boring. Witcher: EE - I can't really say what I didn't like about this game, except that nothing about it was particularly interesting. Games I've hated: Fallout 3/NV -> Combat sucks, and the game requires too much leveling to be fun. Oblivion -> I could never get into it. It's ugly, combat sucks, and even with fan patches the thrill of finding a random dungeon and getting overpowered loot is gone. I'd be willing to try it again if there's a patch that would adjust it so that those random dungeons lying around would have great (unique) gear at the end. I last tried this game back in '08 and none of the patches then would fix the hosed loot tables. AfricanBootyShine fucked around with this message at 19:27 on May 16, 2011 |

I'm looking for a game that I can play in the background at work. I just signed up for Urban Dead but the action point system is sort of annoying. I like how urban dead is solely text based so I can leave it running in my office without having to worry about my boss. I'd prefer a game where I develop a character rather than a nation building/RTS style game. I've glanced around at browser games and seen Pardus and a few others but I'm really sold on any of them. Both SP/MP is fine so long as it has some hooks.

There's a few more games I can think of, but you've probably already played them, considering all you've already played. There's Fallout 1 and 2, of course. There's also Arcanum - same developers as Vampire: Bloodlines, and nearly as well-written, with a cool setting to boot. Look up the thread if you haven't played it already.

Two Worlds is probably the definitive 'break it over your knees' game that you can cheese and end up slaughtering the whole world because you can. Knights of the Old Republic 1&2 has some force skills that make the game trivial if you choose them. You could try the original Divine Divinity. It's not the easiest game to break, but it's definitely possible. It plays like Diablo, and the game doesn't really pick up until you get out of the first town (actually that's the same for all my recommendations, but this one is probably the worse offender). And I'll second Arcanum and Fallout 2. Both are definitely breakable, but not in a very obvious sort of way the first time through. Second time through (or just a restart) becomes a lot easier since you know how to bend the games to your will.

Believe it or not, in my opinion Alpha Protocol is most satisfyingly played as a close quarters combat beat-em-up. You should also take pistols but only for boss fights. The gameplay itself is actually quite fun as a stealth/melee character as long as you realize that stealth sucks donkey dick until you've put a bunch of points into it.

They all function kind of like WoW or some other MMO except without graphics. The only problem might be that most of them heavily benefit from connecting through a client, which you'll need to have on your office machine. Here's a list of MUDs to get you started. http://www.topmudsites.com/

I am looking for a hybrid between and RPG and a Grand Strategy Game. Something like Crusader Kings meets Total War meets Sid Meier's Pirates. I would like to have a hero that I create who rules some sort of kingdom (or aspires to), conducts a lot of diplomacy and trade, sometimes does goofy flavor stuff and occasionally goes to combat. Is there anything like this out there? Bonus if there's a family tree, extra bonus if the combat is not completely terrible.

It's sort of like a Japanese Sid Meier's Pirates, except it moves to a war-game strategy thing later on, as you become more powerful. Also includes descendants in case your dude dies, and you can create a long and illustrious family history if you want to put the time in. You can pick it up on Abandonia now.

I'm looking for a game to play. I find that most games are really mundane and repetitive. Generally, I respond to games based off of community, competition and other aspects like that. I'm into nice-ish graphics, so I probably won't want to play a game that was made before 2003 at the very least. Games that I've enjoyed: ut2003 UT2004 (competitively) Quake 4 (competitively) WoW (arena & end game raiding) TF2 (pubstar) CoD:MW2 (pubstar) rose online (fun with buddies) sc2 (kinda fun sometimes) Stronghold (was fun when I was a teenager) quakelive Games that were meh: Portal (was okish) HL:2 co-op mode Games that suck that I've played: LoL HoN Any super grindy korean MMO (2moons, silkroad, etc.) Most single player FPS or w.e counter strike (boring) spore (boring single player) Dragon Age (boring single player) L4D:2 (boring multiplayer) Yeah, I don't really have a clue what I want. I just want something really fun, that I can get into quickly and start enjoying myself. I generally get bored really quickly of anything single player against computers, I prefer playing against other people, but it's not entirely necessary I guess if the game is really sweet. Thanks!

Alizee posted:I'm looking for a game to play. Take a look at Section 8: Prejudice. I too am a fan of the old Quakey games and have gotten bored pretty quick with about all "modern style" shooters that have come out since CSS or so. S8 is mad cheap at $15, has big open maps, jetpacks, vehicles, rokkits, objectives, electro cannons, dakka, and I overall have a lot of fun playing. There's unlock crap so you don't start out with some of the more OP (strong) stuff, but it doesn't take long to get and the gameplay is complex enough to warrant some time feeling everything out anyhow. The community isn't huge, the social aspect of being able to easily play with friends and people using mics and all that jazz could use some tweaking, but there are some competitive folks/clans around. In my dream world this will be a sleeper hit that a shitload of people realize is great and start playing. Either way, hey, it's $15 that I've already gotten my money's worth out of.

Can anyone recommend a cool RPG in the vein of FFX (in terms of story/characterization, great battle system and preferably decent/modern graphics)? I seem to like jrpgs, but if there's a good game out there for me I don't care about its category. System doesn't matter, here are some I've played to give you an idea of what I might like (mostly favorite to least-fav): Good Final Fantasy X Secret of Mana Secret of Evermore Tales of Phantasia Xenogears Super Mario RPG Deus Ex Vampire: Masquerade Bloodlines Mediocre Persona 3 Demons Souls Disgaea/Phantom Brave/La Pucelle KOTOR 1 & 2 Chrono Cross Valkyria Chronicles Final Fantasy 1-12 Grandia 2 Terranigma Lost Odyssey Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Skies of Arcadia Kingdom Hearts Tactics Ogre Xenosagas Final Fantasy Tactics No Good Valkyria Chronicles 2 Jeane D'Arc Vagrant Story Disgaea 2 Mass Effect Final Fantasy 13 .hack Fable Planescape Torment Chrono Trigger Dragon Age Games that look cool are Last Story and Legend of Mana, but I don't know much about them... sorry for the huge list, hope it can help narrow down a cool game, though.

How about FFX: Megaman? They're basically LOTR and Megaman games made on the FFX combat engine. Both of them are very jrpg-esque and I had a pretty good time with both of them. Also, Tales of Phantasia has a sequel on the Wii, I hated the poo poo out of the characters, but the gameplay's pretty similar to the first one so you may want to check it out.
