DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:Any PC games folks can recommend that aren't necessarily the glistening pinnacles of human creation™? Adding the Majesty games to the list Pierzak posted, they don't seem terribly well-known but I wasted waaay too much of my life on the first one especially. "I join...the wild spirits..."

Dark Paw Bear posted:Good suggestion! Sadly, she was about halfway through the game before it crashed and did not save. So she did not want to do it all over and stopped playing for now Try her on portal 1 first IMO, it has even less dexterity stuff as I remember it, and it checkpoints after you beat each level. Also it's more cleanly puzzle-based in the beginning at least.

Looking for an Xcom, Silent Storm type of game. Really enjoy the turn-based, action points, and squad outfitting. I've played other turn-based games like HoMM, the Kings Bounty games, and every Total War™ iteration, but I really want something closer to the above mentioned, and old Fallout games.

Something focusing on the thrill of discovering new worlds, alien civilizations, and technology. Especially if it has philosophical underpinnings about mankind; where we came from, our role in the universe, first contact, meeting our "creators", etc. Metroid Prime series Xenoblade Chronicles

Different, weird, and based on the old Laser Squad, but might scratch the itch. As for me, recommend me some games with something similar to the Geoscape part of UFO. That feeling of starting small and building your organization/influence through research and stuff. Tactic part is a plus. I've already played the X-Coms, newer UFOs, and Silent Storm & co.

Pierzak posted:You forgot to mention the Jagged Alliance series. Thanks. I'll be looking for Hammer and Sickle. I didn't even realize there was another SS game out there. FS is probably going to be on sale during the Steam summer sale, so I'll probably get that...for next to nothing it looks like. After reading your post, I'm intrigued by UFO as well, and again, Steam sale. I think it starts this weekend actually.

MiltonSlavemasta posted:Also, anything like Panzer Dragoon Orta for PS3. I can't think of anything for PS3 off hand but if you want games like the Panzer Dragoon series, look into the rail-shooter genre. First person light gun games are often called rail shooters too, but I'm talking about the third person kind.

I've been playing through the Shin Megami Tensei games and I'm really liking the occult theme. Are there any other good games that delve a little deeper into religious mysticism, demonology, etc? Difficulty: no godawful Lovecraft.

I'm just starting to get into Marvel comics (mainly the Avengers + Spiderman) and am wondering if there is a Marvel video game that isn't poo poo. Kinda like a Arkham city/asylum? I'll consider fighting games if they're super good as well edit: I have every system

I remember that one being pretty good as well, but it's been a few years since I've played it. It also had a lot of great Spider-Man banter, which is one of those things that always seems to get lost in the adaptations. I've heard that the video game adaptation for the first film was also pretty good, but I haven't played it myself. I also thought that the X-Men: Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance games were decent action RPGs. Sort of like Diablo, but with superpowers instead of magic. thrakkorzog fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Jun 26, 2012 |

They made the webslinging a lot of fun, so much that I would sometimes just swing around for an hour or so just picking up random collectibles.

My comrade(s) and I are planning on picking up growlers of beer this Saturday and tearing through some sort of XBOX co-op 2 or 4 player game (we'll be playing local on the same console). We love games where you can improve and customize your character as you move through the game (a la Dark Souls),so are looking for something along the lines of a co-op action/adventure game with moderate to high difficulty (but nothing too serious or story driven). Fast-paced or twitch gameplay is a plus, but not necessary. I don't know if we're looking for a beat-em-up or a fighting game really (a la Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), but are open for many suggestions.

I've had an immense amount ot fun with Bayonetta and have been playing Vanquish recently. Any other games in the action mould where your performance is constantly being rated? I like the God of War games but they feel like a live film where Bayonetta and Vanquish feel more like theatre.

Vanquish, Bayonetta, God hand and Devil May Cry are basically all 'Genre, Taken to the logical extreme' So try the last two. God Hand is basically the best brawler of all time too so that helps.

How could I forget, I make a point of playing God Hand once a year or so as well. Not played a DMC game since the first which looking back felt very mechanical and robotic to control. Hardly fair to compare it with having just spent 8 hours this week in Bayonetta.

Try out the third one. Bayonetta is born from DMC so don't go in expecting quite as incredible visuals and refined gameplay as Bayonetta but it's basically what you're looking for.

Yeah, the third and fourth DMC games are a lot like Bayonetta gameplay-wise.

Can anyone recommend some good browser games? Maybe some that you can play for awhile and leave and come back to? Turn based games would be good, or something like O-game. Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to figure out a good RPG for my 7-year-old sister to play that is not too complex. She absolutely loves Minecraft, and knows more about it than I (her 22-year-old brother). All I did was give her the wiki and she has figured out all of the crafting on her own, as well as searches YouTube for Minecraft videos; she learns a lot from them. She loves watching me play WoW and Rift as well, but she cannot, nor will I let her into those (too complex anyway). I've tried Diablo 2, but she didn't like it. Any intro-RPG suggestions? She loves the fantasy/dragon scene.

Torchlight has a lot of its better aspects, as well as the ability to have a little dog that you can give food to morph him into other creatures, and fights for you. Otherwise, I have no good ideas, but she sounds pretty cool.  Edit: Maybe Costume Quest, though. Not a ton of dragon-ish stuff, but it moves into magic and fantasy quite a bit. It's also really cool, and probably the correct level of complexity, especially if she can read wikis and so on. (by no means does it require a wiki, of course)

She couldn't give me a straight answer on Diablo 2, but I'm pretty sure it was the dated look and feel of it. Luckily, I have Torchlight, but didn't think to let her on it until now, thanks. Costume Quest seems excellent; I'll have to download that for her.

If a game looks more dated than Minecraft it might as well be Diablo 2. Ha. I'm looking for suggestions of overhead shooters. I'm thinking stuff like Smash TV, Shock Troopers, and Destruction Carnival. It's for SA Dev research. Also, a separate recommend request: games that are interesting from a race standpoint.

I'm in search of dark, gloomy, melancholy games. Can be horror or just generally dark. Sarcastic/slightly whimsical and such is okay too (I'm loving Corpse Craft on iOS at the moment). I was thinking of picking up Alice: MR and Corpse Party soon just to give you an idea of what I'm interested in. Waking up and listening to Joy Division baked triggered something in me I think

Waking up and listening to Joy Division baked triggered something in me I think S.T.A.L.K.E.R would fit your terms quite well. Its atmosphere is insanely oppressive and it has elements of horror as well. Call of Pripyat is generally regarded as the best, with Shadow of Chernobyl being in the middle and Clear Sky being considered the worst. Lots of mods for all 3 games as well. You could also try the first 2 Penumbra games, start with Overture and then go to Black Plague. Requiem is strictly a puzzle game and is skippable. Then if you enjoy them try Amnesia: The Dark Descent by the same developer. All 3 are 1st Person horror games that are genuinely terrifying at times. This last one might not fit what you're after, but Spec Ops: The Line just came out and is a 3rd person shooter that attempts to depict the horrors of war. From what I've read the story is genuinely good and is pretty depressing.

I'm looking for some game recommendations, perhaps something released in the last 2 or 3 years, as I'm almost done with Deus Ex: Missing Link. NOTE: post is a little long, but just want to provide more info so as to avoid wasting your time with suggestions I've already considered. I prefer PC over console, but will play Xbox360 or Wii games. I don't typically do multiplayer. Since I only play through a game once, I like modding fairly involved games before I start, (like STALKER: I modded each one before playing, only had time for one play-thru each). Not interested in debates on how good a game is without mods, etc. I'm thinking the following titles may be next to try, so a recommended order could also be helpful: 1) Fallout (for PC): open to suggestions on mods (only sane mods for one-time play through) 2) Splinter Cell: Double Agent (old Xbox version, which is better than the 360 version). May also continue with the newer SC releases after Double Agent. 3) RAGE by id software (I heard it's not great, but will play anyway. I have played a _lot_ of id software and Raven games over the years (Doom 3 series, Quake 4)). 4) Syndicate: heard mixed reviews, but I liked the original 5) Metro and it's sequel: more Russian FPS craziness 6) Vanquish (played demo and liked it, reminds me of Space Marine a little bit) Recent games I have played and liked: Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PC)- modded this one, too. STALKER series (all three) Space Marine (PC) Star Craft 2 (next version is pre-ordered) Star Trek Online (f2p, but maxed my character, lost interest) Battlefield 3 (Xbox, multiplayer) Call of Duty MW1, 2 and 3, Black Ops (all on Xbox360, single-player) Portal and Portal 2 (PC) Earth Defense Force (original and Insect Armageddon, Xbox360) Ace Combat 6 Bioshock: liked the first one, skipped the 2nd Dawn of War series I'm not into the Fantasy/Magic-style games right now (no Diablo 3 or Skyrm, etc.) Also tried Mass Effect 1 but couldn't get into it. Not into the super-hero games, either. I have also burned out on 4X strategy games, unless something has come along for a space 4X that's better than MOO1 and MOO2

Are there any relatively recent space games that allow you to walk around inside of ships and stations? I really wish there were space adventure games that made it feel like you're living in space and not just a sentient ship with a portrait stuck in it. The only one I know of is Shores of Hazeron, which is more like an interesting collection of bugs held together with lag.

It's an awesome and well done metroidvania mod for it, and also uses the soul system from Dark Souls. It's probably one of the best metroidvanias I've played in a long time and feels like an almost completely new game from Terraria vanilla.
