Looking for a new PC/Console game? Recomendations here! - Page 5 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

StuckinRow · 08-01-2005, 02:44 PM

Well, I am looking for games, mostly for the PC but maybe some PS2 games as well.
I am... unable to go to stores that have games. Researching games without knowing what I am looking for with the "internet" that I have is an endevor worthy of an epic.
Strategy games such as Warcraft, Age of Empires and Command and Conquer are not what I am looking for. I've got too many of those as it is.
I cannot play any type of online game. Imagine my dismay when I found out I couldnt play HL2 w/o verifying it online first, after installing it.
I love RPG's in the Final Fantasy format (I'm a fan of compelling stories). I am kind of burnt out on games such as Diablo II, Sacred, Morrowind, and Neverwinter Nights. Though if there is a new one that is really good, I wouldnt mind trying to look it up.
Flight Simulators are good. MS Flight Sim 2004 is on its way already. I like modern air combat sims as opposed to the older non-jet aircraft.
FPS's are great. Again I would rather have either completely sci-fi weapons or more modern weapons that the military would use. I am not a fan of history...

Mostly what I am looking for is something that either has really good replay value, or just lasts long enough, but not get boring. I've got a year of sitting on my ass and getting paid for it and I need some entertainment.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Coppertop · 08-01-2005, 08:11 PM

^^^ I'd suggest trying FarCry. It is a single player FPS with modern weapons and vehicles. Absolutely beautiful game with huge environments.

RubenBaraja · 09-04-2005, 12:10 PM

Totally not new but I have just started playing Sam and Max for the PC.

Went for a more light hearted game as I have not really played since Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (20 hrs+)

Only been playing for about half an hour but it seems cool. Takes me back to the Threepwood days.

The Day Of The Tentacle and Sam and Max double pack is out over here at a very cheap price. No idea if it has a US release? Well worth picking up

CyCo PL · 11-30-2005, 01:13 AM

I don't know if anybody will respond to this, but...

I'm looking for platform games. 2d side scrollers for the PC. Something like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, or Super Mario Bros.

I know there have got to be some really good homebrew side-scrollers out there. I don't really mean the crap people make in Klik 'n' Play and try to pass off as real games, but some actual fun games. Something I could maybe use my gamepad with and kill some time.

Anybody know of any? (for pc)

Codename: Gordon is quite fun. It is free for download via Steam.

Sgoilear · 12-19-2005, 05:24 AM

Shameless plug for Indigo Prophecy. Tons of fun, great atmosphere and good replay value so far.

Bit of a late response:

Duke Nukem had a 2D scrolling shoot em up - possibly Manhattan Project?

Have you ever tried emulating?

When I was over in Orlando in November there was a Contra/Castlevania double pack in the bargain section. This featured Castlevania 1-3 and two Contra titles.

Moyaboy · 12-31-2005, 10:26 PM

If you would like to play an addictive game try Civilization IV. It is probably the most addicting game I have played next to a football game during football season. Better graphics, better gameplay, and overall new interface is outstanding. Plus you can play it in multiplayer, although it is based on waiting for the other players to finish their turn, but it is adjustable. Try the Demo it only allows for an hour worth of gameplay, but it'll get you hooked.

Xazy · 01-02-2006, 05:23 AM

I recently got hooked playing Dungeon siege II, and if you like RPG you might want to try World of warcraft (but that is addictive as all hell, and has no end)

oberon · 02-19-2006, 04:50 PM

RPG wise, I play Guild Wars occasionally. I'm not a big fan of RPGs, but GW is fun, especially guild battles and PvE (until you beat the PvE campaign).

Some of my more favorite games.. that people HAVE to try.. are:
1) Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2)
2) Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2)
3) SSX Tricky and SSX 3 (Gamecube)
4) Mario Kart: Double Dash (Gamecube)

Other games I like but don't strongly care for:
1) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
2) Zelda: The Windwaker (Gamecube)

I'm pretty sure I own a few other PS2/GC games but I don't remember them anymore.

longbough · 06-25-2006, 08:59 AM

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter for PC - if you have a fast gaming PC this one is about the best modern warfare FPS experience I've had ... I'm not sure if that holds true for the console versions of this game. It's not as "Hollywood" as these shooters tend to be and is quite immersive.

HL-2 - OK. If what you want is a "Hollywood"/Sci-Fi experience this one never let me down. Not a dull moment.

Guild Wars!!! - prepare to lose several months of your life because this game is addictive ... and without a subscription fee!!! I love this game!

PetroSketro · 07-03-2006, 05:14 AM

Excuse me? Everquest II beats the ever loving sheezy out of GW, considering your big enough of a tool to shell out $15 a month for your nerdy desires...

tspikes51 · 08-17-2006, 08:53 PM

Hey guys, I haven't been around in a long while, thought I'd post up what I've been doing here because it very much involves gaming. How about some Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It's very free and it's probably the best online FPS. I'm in a clan now, the guys in it are really cool and we'd love having y'all on our servers, we have a 2.55 XP save server, and two 2.60 ETPro servers, one of which is set up for 3v3 TWL. Our website is http://www.evilrtcw2.com/forums . The other game I've been playing is OGame, which is a free MMO browser-based strategy game. Sign up at http://www.ogame.org/ . I'm in universe 22 at 3:131:6 and in universe 13 at 2:22:9, named EvilNumber1Dad

SofaKingA · 12-05-2006, 12:58 PM

Definitely get FEAR, that game is visually stunning.

H12 · 01-07-2007, 02:13 AM

I only have a Gamecube and Xbox right now, though I figure I'll have a Wii and 360 fairly soon as well as being open to older games if I can find a rom...and I've been through every generation of gaming from the end of the Atari onward, so I'll try to help out with some favorites of mine over the times (in no order) and see what kind of help I can give:

The Mario series (SM64 being my favorite), Perfect Dark, every Mega Man game on the NES (MM4's my fave), the Metal Gear series from MGS1 on (including the VR Missions game) though I dislike Splinter Cell, Mario Power Tennis, Final Fantasy 7 (though FF3/6 is the only other FF I can bring myself to play more than afew hours into it), Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Comix Zone, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (though I dislike GTA3 and have yet to really try Vice City), the Legend of Zelda series (LoZ:WW's my fave), and -- recently -- the Prince of Persia series

That's as much help as I know how to give right now.

yippiekiyeh · 04-24-2007, 10:20 PM

All are great games suggested, I would suggest World of Warcraft. Lots of fun!

ObieX · 08-24-2007, 07:12 PM

it for enjoy fear you'll love bioshock. no multiplayer but its very badass. the atmosphere of the game is just great

TheVirus · 11-03-2007, 07:40 PM

Bioshock has my vouch, I loved it, but lost time to play it and beat it on hard.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R is another good game, but it's a tatical FPS but still fun.
That new jericho game looks good too, I'm gona play it soon, and tell how much I did/didn't enjoy it.

zkara · 12-04-2007, 05:52 AM

I am looking for another MMORPG.
I have only played WoW - so I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything like that.
The graphics interest me more than anything.

Anyone tried Rappelz?

Seagull · 12-17-2007, 04:08 PM

This is the best time for PC gaming for ages. So many good ones, and plenty more on the horizon

For the moment though. Get the Orange Box

Half Life 2, the the two expansion packs, Team Fortress 2 ( an on-line multi player shooter with classes) and the greatest game of the year so far...Portal. A first person puzzle game with some wicked dark humour and truly inventive game play

5 of the best games ever for the price of one. Bargain of the century

Skutch · 12-17-2007, 10:14 PM

For the holidaze I got an xbox360. I've been playing 2 games exclusively: Dirt, and Forza Motorsport 2. Super cool games. The graphics and driving physics are life-like. I feel like Marcus Gronholm!

lbennett · 12-25-2007, 06:40 PM

well, I gotta say Crysis is a must buy

provided you can run it of course, bloody brilliant single player

macandcheese240 · 05-13-2008, 07:25 PM

Get Sins of a Solar Empire, its a crazy good space combat fighter. You could think of it like a Age of Empires on a space level. You can zoom into to planet views and see ships orbiting a planet or zoom out to intergalactic level.

Hey guys, I've got a PS3
Is Killzone 2 worth my time, or not?
Thanks!

IdeoFunk · 01-31-2010, 02:15 PM

Hey I am hoping I can gain some expert advice on the topic of building a new gaming PC. This is pretty foreign territory for me and I'm just wondering what type of budget someone would need to be able to buy a computer capabale of running games such as the new COD, GTA, and the new Starcraft (whenever it does eventually come out). Aside from a monitor and a keyboard I'd need to buy everything else. Anyways, I figured this would be a good place to begin my search for a PC. Any sort of web resources or advice y'all can offer is much appreciated!

I am sure if you post this in Tilted Technology you will get the help you need.

Boggy · 03-27-2010, 03:17 PM

Looks like this thread hasn't been bumped in a while but figured I'd give it a shot anyway.

I am not quite as avid a gamer as I used to be, however I still enjoy buying a game once in a while, playing the hell out of it for a couple weeks and completely dropping it.

So I'm trying to decide which game I should get next.

I'm thinking... the new GTA (gay tony) or Bad Company 2.
I love the GTA series, and I love multiplayer FPS's, so I know I'll like both, but I only want to buy one.
What do you guys think?
