Game Recommendation Thread

[QUOTE="Darkeroid2212"]

Can you guys recommend me some good single player games for PC? I play almost every type of game except linear FPS-es like COD. Those games' single player campaigns bore me to death. I recently played the Mass Effect series and loved it, so I would prefer something close to it, but basically any game with a good sigle-player will do. Also, please, no JRPGs.

Alright need a recommendation on these tps based on gameplay, game length and story.

Spec Ops the line, Max Payne 3, Ghost Recon FS, Vanquish.

First question first, have you played another Max Payne game before?Blabadon

Spec Ops has an excellent story, but it's not well known for its gameplay (it's serviceable but not amazing).  MP3 has satisfying gore and impact, but there are some control quirks and the basic plot is rather generic (although the writing is very strong).  Vanquish is tons of fun, with things constantly flying around the screen and has a goofy, fun story.

If you want pure awesome gameplay, Vanquish is the way to go. If you want an excellent story the Spec Ops is for you. If you want a medium between both then MP3 is good.

Glad to be of service! All the games (i believe) can be found pretty cheap, and they're all good. Enjoy :)

PS3 exclusive if I'm not mistaken.

My dad likes teamwork in gaming and likes playing PvP with strategy teamwork. His favorite game is Gears of War 3. I want to get him into a different game that has the same teamwork aspect like Gears of War 3. Any suggestions? PS: I have PS3 and Xbox 360.Baroni88

I'm looking for a MMORPG that has no auto-attack, no dungeon crawling, Free-to-Play but no Pay-to-Win, NO simulators-type games and no gender lock-based jobs/classes. Thank you~

[QUOTE="19038"]Now that my kids are grown, I finally have some time to play videogames.

This question is for those who have played the metal gear solid series. I want to get into them, but I'm wondering if the collection with 2, 3, and Peace Walker is a good start. Will I enjoy playing them even if I haven't played the first one?

First one is pretty needed.  Granted, I guess you could technically play them and still kinda half understand but it'd be better if you played 1.  If I'm not mistaken, they released a Legacy Collection that has like every major game in the series up to 4.

How is the Hitman HD collection on the 360? Also, how is Hitman Absolution? I've never played a Hitman game.

I like the HD Collection myself and I found Absolution to be ok, its going really cheap now so worth it i'd say. 

Although Blood Money is still a b!tch to play on HDMI on the 360.

How is Blacklist, SC fans?

So they're worth it for people who've never played a Hitman game?

Definitely. Hitman 2 is the best in the series. I'd say Absolution is a lot more 'casual' entry but they are both good games. 

Contracts is ok. And Blood Money is very good too, it's just a bit of a headache to play because it has Pal 50/60 issues.

Cool thanks a bunch!

Looking for recommendations on games to play when I'm tired. Basically something to kill time when I don't have the focus for a challenge, but is still entertaining. Please don't suggest GTA5 as I'm waiting for the PS4 version.

Hey anybody want to give me some advice? I got a couple of games on my mind.

I'm picking up Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider and along with those two, another game, but I'm kind of split between a few games for the third buy:

Dead Space 3- Loved the first, liked the second, heard a lot of bad things about 3. Still worth it?

Metro: Last Light- Wondering if the first game is necessary to enjoy the sequel.

Ni No Kuni- Not really my usual genre but part of me wants to give it a shot. The last time I tried to go out of my comfort zone (Dark Souls), things went extremely well.

Thanks for any help!

@gpuFX16: I played Last Light without playing 2033 first and I was able to play it just fine. Some of the references were lost on me, but the story itself is self-contained enough to be enjoyed on its own merits. It's a great game. Definitely worth checking out.

If you're unsure about Ni no Kuni, give it a rent first. It's got a lot of charm, but it's slow to start and very, very long. Best to know what you're getting into and whether you like it before committing.

Thank you, c_rake. That was probably what I needed to hear about NNK- with some backlog and work, I probably wouldn't be able to give it the time it deserves. Will most likely go with Metro.

Thanks again!

@Darkeroid2212: Try Alan Wake. I loved the story in that game. It's a little linear but it's third person and has fun and interesting gameplay. Also, if you're willing to go the way of indie games, try Bastion. It has a really unique way of telling a story and has fun combat and rpg elements.

I am looking for a new PC-game or iPad-game to play, especially a story-driven RPG type of game.

Games i've played and enjoyed:

Ultima VI, VII-1 and VII-2, Baldur's Gate 1&2, Icewind Dale 1&2, Neverwinter Nights (and the add-ons), Neverwinter Nights 2, Planescape: Torment, The Elder Scrolls series (III, IV: Oblivion, V: Skyrim), Mass Effect 1,2&3, Dragon Age 1&2, The Witcher 1&2, L.A. Noire, Fallout 3. Fallout: New Vegas.

On the iPad: Avernum: Escape from the Pit and Avadon.

I didnt enjoy Assassins Creed 1 nor Diablo 3.

I enjoy all kinds of games, but RPG's are definately my favorite, as you can see. I'm waiting for The Witcher 3, Dragon Age 3, The Elder Scrolls Online (depending on their bussiness model), cyberpunk 2077 and Avadon 2.

Anyone have a suggestion what i could play in the mean time?
