kissekatt posted:It could be Drakensang, which is indeed from Germany. It is a pretty standard (though not D&D) fantasy rpg - mystical elves who love the woods, industrial dwarves who love beer, you know the drill - where supposedly extint dragons play a big part in the mythology. You can't turn into a dragon though, at least not as far as I played (near the endgame). As was stated, it's Divinity 2: Ego Draconis. The german version is out, and you can patch it to have English Text. The english version won't be out till the 15th I believe. It is a really cool game from what I played through it. The difficulty curve is a little wonky though. Going from barely surviving a fight with a small pack of skeletons to raping dragon babies in seconds back to barely surviving against some goblins again. Very gear dependent. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3180351

blueberrypudding posted:Does anyone know a good non-Blizzard, non-Ensemble multiplayer RTS? I tire of Starcraft, and my friend isn't keen on the AoE series, so we're looking for a neutral title to play. Company of Heroes is considered one of the best RTS games out there. Dawn of War 2 is also out, and from what I understand, is kind of similar in gameplay, but of course set in the future.

doctor iono posted:I have a pretty simple recommendation request this time: Scary games. What are the spookiest games I can play, when it comes to the PC? They can be from any time, I'm not picky. Silent Hill 2, 3, 4 & 5 have all been released for the PC. Of those, I would really only recommend 2 and 3, as they have the best atmosphere, story and gameplay in my opinion. They're all separate stories, so you don't need to have played one to play the other. Dead Space is also available for the PC. It does a pretty good job of building tension. It does have a number of the jump scares, but there's more to it then just that. Personally, I have a hard time with the game because of the controls as I can't get very accurate with the mouse, but others don't seem to have the problem. It's probably your best bet for a horror game on the PC.

doctor iono posted:poo poo, I knew I was missing something. I've played Silent Hill - well, 2 and 3. How worth it are 4 and 5? 4 was a lot of fun for the first half of the game. Then it goes through all the levels you already did, but backwards, and escorting someone. There's also some other annoying aspects to it, like your safe area becoming dangerous, and ghosts that can't die. The story gets kind of out there too. I bought 5 for the ps3, played it for about 4 hours, and returned it. I can't really say what is wrong with exactly, but it's kind of obvious fans of the first game made it, but that doesn't mean they did a good job. I really couldn't recommend either unless you find em cheap. Also, I forgot about System Shock 2 and Alien Vs Predator 2, definitely seconding those. They're old, but still pretty good.

Two things. One, an RPG (JRPG or CRPG, doesn't matter) that has a ton of side quests. Final fantasy 6, 7 and 8 were good for this. 6 had something to do almost everywhere I went in that game. Same with 7. 8 had a GF everywhere, and that awesome card game, so I always had something to do. Nippon Icchi games are also good examples of this, with tons of extra worlds to do. Dragon Quest 8 and Persona games are not good examples of this. Final Fantasy 9-12 weren't very good on this either, never played the ones before 6. And an RPG with tons of customization. Either in the main character, or any character. Stuff like the aforementioned Nippon Icchi games, where I can customize the skills, and the items of the characters. I wanna be able to build my characters however I want. I wanna sperg out on em.

Frankosity posted:One CRPG that immediately comes to mind is Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, which gives you a huge, uniquely inspired world to explore and offers a lot of customisation in terms of skills and stats. The only drawback to the game is that it isn't really challenging once you get out of the early game and it's so buggy installing the unofficial patch is pretty much required. Heh, yeah I'm a big fan of Arcanum, and had forgotten to mention that. It pretty much is perfect for having plenty to do. Same with Fallout 2. I can't get Fallout 1 to work on Windows 7 though. Arcanum is pretty much what I'm looking for. Wherever you go in that game, there is always plenty to do. It's never just "Go to town, talk to guy, then leave town" it's go explore, find some quests, complete some, have interesting conversations, etc.

Shadowrun looks like it could be cool. I've tried the SNES version, but had no idea what to do. I might have to try the genesis version. I have Baldur's Gate 2, but I've never really understood the D&D ruleset and game play. I should try and sit down with it one day. doctor iono posted:What qualifies as the early game, because I got into the Black Mountain Mines and I kind of gave up on the game, since my gunfighting/talking character seemed horribly underpowered for it. The Black Mountain Mines are so incredibly difficult at the level it tells you to get there. Once they say that's where you need to go for the main quest, you're supposed to go and do a bunch of other quests to level up and get new gear. Otherwise, you're just gonna get raped by those golems.

And to make up for the new badass items, there are new zones that are hard as hell. It's like playing Diablo 2 for the first time all over again (well, almost). http://homepage3.nifty.com/miyoshino/es/es3top.htm is the site.

Here's a short list of games I've played that fit into the kind of stuff I'm interested in: Hulk Ultimate Destruction for the PS2 was an earlier version of Prototype basically. It's a lot of fun running around as the hulk and just destroying everything. The Dynasty Warriors series isn't everyones cup of tea, but it's all about killing huge swarms of enemies. Just non stop killing. I don't know if you think it's too complex or something, but you have God of war and God Hand up there so I don't know why you'd think they were, but both Ninja Gaiden and Bayonetta are fantastic action/beat 'em ups. Shinobi for the PS2 is pretty good as well, kind of reminds me of a cross between Ninja Gaiden and Gungrave.

Ylide posted:I played through KB as each class, I'm very familiar. Two fairly recent RPG games that you might want to check out is Divinity 2: Ego Draconis, and Risen. Divinity 2 you start off as a dragon slayer, and eventually you turn into a dragon (don't worry, I'm not spoiling anything). The game has lots to do in it, is pretty big, plenty of places to explore and tons of quests. The biggest drawback to it though is that the difficulty is all over the place. You can be running through a dungeon getting the poo poo kicked out of you, abusing AI and line of sight, and then two pulls later you'll start destroying everything because you found an awesome axe. Then ten minutes later you're dying again. Risen is from the makers of Gothic 1 & 2. You're on an island that's of a fairly decent size, and you'll choose what class you want to be by joining with certain groups. The combat takes some getting used to, but is rewarding. You can take on monsters much stronger then you, but it'll be hard, and will take forever. The difficulty of this game isn't as all over the place as Draconis, but there is a certain spot in the game where it just skyrockets and if you haven't built your character right, will make it really really hard. I had to restart three times because I hosed up my character and just wasn't happy with what was going on. I also suck at games, so you're mileage may vary. Personally, I enjoyed Risen more, but I think both might be worth checking out to scratch that RPG itch.

Please do not suggest Fallout 1 or 2, Planescape: Torment, Diablo, Lionheart, Arcanum, or Baldur's Gate. I'd prefer something I haven't played before. Divine Divinity on GOG.com got reviewed by JayIsGames, that looks kind of like what I'm after. I also saw a review somewhere for Darkstone, although it looks like a fairly uninspired Diablo clone. If you haven't played Divine Divinity yet you should give it a whirl. It's a great game once you get past the starting area. Plays more like Diablo with an actual story and quests then the others you mentioned. Darkstone was pretty bad from what little I remember. The only other isometric RPG i can think of that is somewhat worth playing is Titan's Quest. Diablo style gameplay set to mostly greek mythology. Personally think Divine Divinity is the better of the two.

vulgey posted:I'm about to move house and it looks like I'm going to be without an internet connection for at least a month, maybe more. So I need recommendations on PC games to burn away the hours I would usually spend on WoW and various other games that require actual internet. I have other hobbies that I enjoy doing and I'm sure a lot of my time will be poured into getting the new place sorted but I love my PC gaming time. I was in the same boat as you not so long ago (about three months ago) and was desperate for games to play. Some I didn't see mentioned, but should really help with the PC time: Just Cause 2. There's a thread for this, it's awesome, you basically run around an island blowing up every god damned thing and you've got a grappling hook. If you've still got internet for the time being, download the parachute dlc and the mod for it, and holy hell, you will have fun. Stalker Call of Pripyat. I'm not a big fan of these games, but walking around a nuclear wasteland looking for artifacts and enemies can be pretty drat fun. Metro 2033 is another russian nuclear wasteland game, but much more linear. It's a good solid 10 hours of fun, and has some great atmosphere. Risen is another game I try to recommend anytime I can. It's an RPG from the guys who did Gothic 1 and 2, and is great. The combat is hard, but very rewarding. Only worth playing through the first half though (about 20 some hours). But you can play through that part again and see things you never did the first time. Dead Space if you haven't played that is a great survival horror game. But if you get it for the pc, for the love of god, TURN OFF VSYNC. The game was unplayable with vsync on for me, and I had no idea why until I stumbled on the PA thread for the game. It's a great game once you turn that off. Almost Last: Mount & Blade - Holy hell, it's like Pirates but on land. Build an army, set up trade routes, take over towns and nations, fight for kings and lords, I spent way too many hours on this game when I first got it. I think though it might have a problem if you download it steam because it connects to an online server to authenticate. If there's a way around it, you can spend your entire month on this game easily. I suggest you download the natural mod (I think that's what it is called) for it though. Haven't played Warband yet. Others: Torchlight - A diablo 2 clone. World of Goo - A physics puzzle game. Both of which should be really cheap.

Bloodcider posted:I'm looking to get my friend a game for Christmas. She's not really into games, but she has a PSP with a few lovely licensed games for it. She's pretty smart so I was thinking a noodle scratcher like Professor Layton or Brain Age, or something creative like Scribblenauts, but then I remembered these games are for the Nintendo DS, not PSP (I know dick about hand-helds, as it is). Unfortunately, there is a serious lack of decent puzzle games on the PSP whereas the DS is overflowing with them. But a few suggestions - Lumines: A trippy kind of tetris like game. Multi colored blocks fall and you have to match the colors while some cool music plays that actually goes along with what you're doing. Much better then what I'm describing. Puzzle Quest: This is bejeweled with an RPG attached. So you have to use spells and abilities to beat your opponent at bejeweled. If she likes bejeweled, this will add a new level of depth to the game. Echochrome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfICeBtVv8U It's a puzzle game where you have to manipulate a level in 3d to reach the end. Imagine Escher made a video game.

I.T Zander posted:That's just it. I loved Diablo 2, but I didn't like the fact that it was all dark and depressing. Sacred 2 seems like a less depressing version of Diablo. The thing is though, Sacred 2 isn't a good Diablo 2 clone, and is at best a mediocre game. I really really wanted to like the game, and for it to be good, but it just wasn't. It doesn't have the speed or flow that Diablo does. It has some technical issues, like frame rate, and just general game play bugs. I mean, if you can find it for like 5 bucks or something, why not? As for games that are fun while in an altered state, that's a rather vague question. I'm guessing you like RPGs, which unfortunatly are somewhat lacking in quality on both consoles. Not to say there aren't good ones, but compared to the PS2 era, it's just not the same. That said, games I think fit the criteria: Bayonetta, Assassins Creed: Brotherhood, and Dead Space. I don't even like sports games, but Skate 2 (which should be pretty cheap now) and the Fight Night series is a lot of fun. Also, the games on the Playstation Network seem to be made for this sort of thing. There are so many visually appealing and/or trippy games on it, just browse through the catalog. And if you're playing with friends, Pain is more fun then it has any right to be. Edit: And yeah, just noticed the Dark and Depressing thing. Demon's Souls is definitely the definition of Dark and Depressing.

It suffered the same problem as CIV 3 with Infinite City Spamming being the best tactic. It was simple to get tons of cash with more cities, and really, it was just a reskinned CIV 3. As far as complicated goes, I'd say Paradox games (Europa Universalis) are complicated, but I'm not sure if those count as 4x. Playing those are like playing spreadsheets.

Something with memorable characters, gently caress off length, and and interesting plot or setting. I'd even go for something akin to Final Fantasy 7. Divinity 2 has some great characters and dialogue which is really where it's strengths come from. The combat is pretty basic, but the game is a lot of fun. Risen is another one I mention whenever I can. A lot harder, but better rewards for exploring (or punishment if you go somewhere you shouldn't). The characters aren't as great, but still pretty good. Vampire the Masquerade: BLoodlines is a phenomenal game with great characters, story choices and some stellar levels. Also a really lovely sewer level but everything else is fantastic. Just get the fan patch. And I'll second Persona 4. You don't need to have played any of the other games, there's no real interconnecting story. Your processor is better then mine and I can emulate it with only some problems. It's definitely playable. Edit: You said you played all the Bioware/Black Isle/OBsidian games. Have you played the Troika ones? Bloodlines is one. Arcanum is another. Arcanum is probably one of my favorite RPGS, but some people just don't like it.

Internet Meme posted: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. 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.

Douche Bag posted:I'm looking for an early 90's jrpg style game for the PC. Something in the vein of Lufia or Breath of Fire. Free would be great Cthulu Saves the World is supposed to be pretty good. Very early 90's style to it, and it has Cthulu. It's not free, but 3 dollars isn't much at all. Breath of Death seems even more old school, not sure about that one though. Exit Fate and Last Scenario. One is like Suikoden, and the other is more akin to the classic types (DW and FF) of early jrpgs.

Brace posted:I'm looking for a platformer, preferably a very good one Didn't specify platform, so. PC Eversion - A rather simple (in execution) platformer with a small twist that puts it into an almost horror game. Limbo - This is kind of a platformer, but it's more of a puzzle game with some platforming. N - The classic where you're a ninja, and you have to get to the exit. Spelunky - A roguelike platformer. Divided into four areas, with four levels each. Each level is different. Very hard, but probably one of my personal favorites. Braid - If you haven't heard of this, I don't know what to tell you. But it's a platformer where you have some control over time. Wii Donkey Kong Country Returns - A fantastic throwback to the old Donkey Kong Country games that were on the SNES. A lot of people says it plays better with the classic controller, but I found the wiimote to be fine. Kirby's Epic Yarn - Very easy, yet still fun game. You're Kirby. New Super Mario Bros Wii - It's Mario, on the wii, and supports four player Co-op. Bit Trip Runner (Also on the PC) is a fantastic music/platformer hybrid. PS2 Klonoa 2 - I love this game. It's fun, but kind of easy and short. Traditional 2d gameplay. Sly Cooper Collection (Also has an HD remake on the PS3 that utilizes the Move) - Cel shaded platformer. Don't know too much about it, as it didn't grab me, but people seem to like it. DS New Super Mario Bros - Classic Mario gameplay. There's lots more. Especially if you start straying into the hybrids (Veiwtiful Joe, Cave Story, etc). Of those above I would recommend Donkey Kong Country Returns, Klonoa 2, and Spelunky above all others.

kissekatt posted:Old and mediocre, but Outpost springs to mind. Mediocre is right. I don't usually argue against someone else's recommendations, different strokes for different folks and all, but no one should play Outpost. It's terrible, completely buggy, and not even close to fun. Unfortunately though not many space games like that are going to be very modern. Star Control 2, Startopia, Master of Orion 1 and 2 are as close as I can think of. Startopia being the one I'd recommend the most, but it's kind of a business sim and not city. Almost all the space games being released now are RTS or Civ like games focusing on building colonies to support fleets, or action games like X3 or Freelancer. I would love to find something like SimCity in space (I oh so wanted Outpost to be good when it was released). Edit: Dammit, I was too late.

Woland posted:New to the thread, and havent read all 75 pages, so I apologize if Im repeating something thats been asked and answered ad nauseam. Hopefully it doesn't have to be fantasy. Cause there are a number on the PC. Jagged Alliance 2 - I strongly suggest reading the OP. Very in depth strategy game, with leveling, inventory management, the works. Very open strategy wise too. Set in a sort of modern warfare (not the game) type setting. X-Com - Is set in the future. Aliens invade earth, and you have to build and manage a base, set tech research, build and hire your team, etcs, and then go out and fight those aliens however you want. Destructible environments too. Fallout Tactics - Like the above, but without base management and using the Fallout rules. If you're willing to go console, there's stuff like Ogre Battle (many different consoles), Valkyria Chronicles (PS3), The Front Mission Series (PS1 - PS2), and a whole slew of others, almost all fantasy based. Some of those if you do get your hands on you might be able to emulate on your PC in case you sold your console.

The Vampirate posted:Ok. I have played Titan's Quest, Sacred 1 and 2 and Torchlight. I am looking for a Diablo style game for a semi graphics whore that lets me collect loot and be a reclusive single player person when I want to be but also pal around with people when I feel like it too. The graphics are pretty poor. But apart from that I think it's a great game. Din's Curse is a fun action rpg with awesome loot, co-op play and dynamic quests which are really awesome that you can fail and gently caress up. It's way more fun then it has any right to be. Try the demo. It goes to level 10, and you can see how your town can get hosed.

Not exactly appropriate for this thread, but not sure where else to post. Is Enslaved any good? It's 9 bucks now, and I've been eyeing it for a while. I'm just on a budget and really don't want to drop 9 on game that lasts only a few hours with no replay factor.

Poniard posted:Any good RPGs with really in depth character customization? I want to be a ~*special snowflake*~ (and crunch numbers and min-max The Disgaea series for the PS2 and 3 are made for sperging pretty much. Very anime, though not the worse offender and can be amusing at times. But you can min-max everything, from your characters to your items. It's my go to game for that sort of thing. And in case you live under a rock, Diablo 2. Specifically with the Eastern Sun Mod. Lots of customization and number crunching in that mod. Way better then vanilla in my opinion.

). Please don't say anything from the Elder Scrolls series since I've beaten all of the main games multiple times. Maybe a DnD game would be nice?
