ila Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 So my friends bought me a new computer for Christmas, needless to say, this thing is pretty powerful. I haven't been able to competently game on a PC since about 07, so obviously I'm behind on things. What's some fun stuff I missed over the years?

Daniel Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I really think you should take a gander of what's on Steam right now with all the sales going on. Maybe you can see something you wanna play really badly or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kessler12 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Minecraft is a good way to kill time. It's kinda boring but I end up playing for hours... till a creepist blows up my house and then I rage quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemox Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Skyrim's a cool choice. Big, open world with lots to do, and a vivid experience. ... Just make sure to wear kneepads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 So my friends bought me a new computer for Christmas, needless to say, this thing is pretty powerful. I haven't been able to competently game on a PC since about 07, so obviously I'm behind on things. What's some fun stuff I missed over the years? Whoa, cool friends. You should probably go ahead and describe some of the stuff you already have/really like so that the rest of these guys don't keep mentioning stuff you already have. 1. You like Elder Scrolls, so you might enjoy the Witcher. (You should be able to pick up the first one pretty cheaply) 2. You like Minecraft, so you might enjoy Terraria. (wait for a steam sale, this one can get as low as 3 bucks or so) 3. STALKER series is sort of a little similar to Fallout 3+. (wait for a steam sale, this you can generally buy most of the series for like 10 dollars) 4. You own the PS3 version, so I'm guessing you already have Portal 2 on PC, which is nice because that's where the mods and stuff naturally end up. 5. Starcraft 2 is pretty fun. To be honest I haven't played it nearly as much as Warcraft 3, but if the custom map scene has picked up (and not gone full entropy into nothing but DOTA clones), that's the kind of thing that really attracts me to those games. People tend to make all kinds of neat stuff with Blizzard's modding tools. (This is still pretty expensive, you might wait for the expansions/battle chest) 6. Titan Quest is a pretty cool Diablo clone if you like that sort of thing and are waiting for Diablo 3. (Should be dirt cheap through some channel) 7. Speaking of Diablo clones, there was a modestly interesting hybrid of Diablo and FPS/TPS action games on PC a while back called Hellgate London. The online component got shutdown though. (Should be way cheap if you can find it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luksamuk Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I'd recommend you to get a Genesis and a SNES emulators and find some ROMs on your own. I can swear you'll never get bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 @LH He said he got a new computer, he didn't say his old computer was running Windows 3.11 with a 386 processor from the early 90's. And by the way, we've all been playing those roms for well over a decade now and we've gotten bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ila Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions, but some notes: Chances are if the game has a PS3 version I have played it. This includes Skyrim, Mass Effect, Portal, and any other title that everyone else has heard of. I'm also neck deep in the indie game scene, so that's pretty much covered. That is all.

OverbounD Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Star Craft 2? Star Wars: The Old Republic is pretty high on my list of things to get. The thing is most games get released on consoles anymore except for most MMOs and some RTS games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
