Okay what are some good games that are very funny/have a sense of humor? I played Portal 1 and 2 and The Stanley Parable already but are there some other good games out that have the same type of humor?

What is your tolerance for low fidelity graphics point & click adventure games? Because there is a warehouse full of Sierra and LucasArts games you could go through.

Low fidelity graphics don't bother me but I haven't played any point and click adventure games unless The Stanley Parable counts as one. I played Ghost Trick too so does that count?

Whats the closest there is to Medieval fallout 2? I couldn't get into the Avernum series for some reason, which i think would be the obvious answer. Darklands maybe but i couldn't get into that either.

What about Fallout 2 are you looking for?

Oh sorry, i guess the free wandering, random encouters to grind if you wanna get super rich, the sequence breaking to get super strong. The lots of quest/story to discover. Mostly the freedom and also the fact that its really hard to screw up your character. Running to navarro to get power amor and a super sledge and then just grinding random cave enouncter to get more money that is available at merchants. Idk i love it. Then you take you powerful dude and go plough through some story content.

It's not really medieval, but Arcanum is basically Fallout 2 in a steampunk universe. It's very good, and meets pretty much all your requirements except the medieval thing.

Any good crime/drug dealing games? Particularly strategy or sim, but I remember a FPS a long long time ago that was like life of crime or something...all I really remember is that you could whack people with pipes. I want to forge a criminal empire from the comfort of my living room.

I believe you're thinking of Kingpin. Don't remember it being any good, but yeah.

I remember a game called Constructor that was a city-building game with a crime/extortion focus. I think it got an expansion or something that was even more focused on mob-style antics.

Pretty much the definition of Lionheart. It uses the SPECIAL system but eh, it's not a very good game.

I haven't played it yet but Inquisitor is also up there and has the same lukewarm response. You're definitely not going to find anything like Fallout that's as good as Fallout although Arcanum is a good suggestion.

I remember getting Gangsters way back. It's not easy to play, the learning curve is pretty rough but it is a good gangster game and I have it currently installed. Mob Rule/Constructor are tongue-in-cheek but still fit what you're asking for.

Crime Fighter is another one if you don't mind primitive graphics. I know it sounds like the OPPOSITE of what you're asking but you play a criminal. http://www.pssoft.de/english/index.html

I dunno, just calling Arcanum steampunk doesn't quite do it justice imo, what with all the fantasy elements there as well. It's a pretty unique setting.
At any rate, definitely recommended.

I want to get more games that are fun, easy, local co-op for PC with controller support.

We played LEGO Batman 2 today and it was loving dope, I will get more LEGO games because this one is just really well done, I want more games like this but with 3 and 4 players.

I think I remember the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games being pretty good but we dont wanna be loving around with stats and inventory management, just good fighting maybe some puzzles and those cool mini-games that change the play style to shooting out of a moving vehicle like in GTA san andreas.
Basically console style local co-op but on PC with controllers.

I have two requests I'd love to get some help with.

First, I'm trying to find a coop game for my wife and I. We have PS3 and a 360 we'd like to stick with (big hd tv is more fun than separate pc's). We've played through Dungeon Siege 3 and Dragon Crown. Both of those were good picks for us. She doesn't really enjoy FPS's and vs. type games aren't her thing either.

Second, I've been on an RPG kick lately. My favorites have been the Mass Effect series, Kotor 1/2, stuff like that. Any ideas where I could go from here?

Diablo 3? Surprised nobody else said it. Saw someone mention Sacred 2 when D3 is, imho, better in every way.

Monkey Island. All of the series except the 4th (Escape From Monkey Island.) The first two have excellent modern remakes while Curse of Monkey Island (the 3rd) has really nice hand drawn art that still holds up today.

And they're a great way to cut your teeth in adventure games because unlike the sierra ones they lack bullshit puzzles that kill you and situations you can be permanently screwed just because you missed an item a few hours earlier.

There's also presently no legitimate way to get ahold of a digital copy of Curse of Monkey Island. In a good and just world, Disney would just dump the entire LucasArts back catalogue on Steam and be done with it. :sigh:

I'm looking for something I can play on my android tablet while I'm on the treadmill. Hopefully something that doesn't require constant control or precision, preferably that can be played muted as I prefer to not wear headphones.

It needs to be playable with either the touchscreen or one half of a MOGA controller.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution has a lot of fun skills to mess around with. You can't teleport, but you can turn invisible, deploy mines, punch through walls, and throw refrigerators at people. Both of the Dishonored DLCs are also pretty good, in case you haven't played those yet.

Sorry to repeat myself in such a short time (since last page), but:
The recent Shadow Warrior remake. It doesn't have the gimmicky skill shot system, but it does have a very satisfying sword and poo poo-tons of mayhem and explosions. Like, almost every piece of scenery you shoot at explodes. And I repeat, the sword is really fun to use. Also the protagonist is such a massive dork. Also there are cute bunny rabits you can shoot. But don't shoot too many of them, OR ELSE.

What's a good city building game I can play on my iPhone? Doesn't necessarily have to be cities; something like transport tycoon is good too (I already have that). It's so hard to find anything that isn't full of bullshit timers and premium currency F2P crap. I just want a building game that plays like a normal PC game.

So i've got an itch for a game, but the problem is i'm not sure if that game actually exists. What i'm after is a game where the objective is to build some sort of base/fort/etc to survive some sort of event, a zombie outbreak or something similar. Something where the fort you're in needs constant repairs, plus other worries like food, water, ammunition, and so on. Maybe some sort of mechanic whereby the threat is only really present at night?
Does anyone know of game like this? I'm thinking something half way between Minecraft and DayZ.

State of Decay is the closest I can think of. A big part of the game is managing your survivor camp and keeping it supplied. There's no freeform building though you build upgrades on plots.

Maybe take a look at Project Zomboid (still in Early Access), and Rebuild (the third one is out early access on Steam, and the first two are free, I think.)

I haven't played Zomboid but I've played the first 2 Rebuild games and they are fun. I think you might enjoy them.
