Must get games for PC? New pc user.

I enjoy first person shooters and enjoy a good RPG. What are must get for PC?

I can play any game.

I really dont like shooters, only a very few selected ones so I will recommend on RPG

Planetscape Torment

Baldurs Gate 1

Baldurs Gate 2

Those three alone have enough gameplay value to hold you up for a loooong time, they are also ultimate classics every RPG fan should play once, even thoug they are "old" they didnt age a bit

The Orange Box
STALKER
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
Morrowind
Oblivion

I'd also recommend Crysis and Bioshock, but I honestly wouldn't spend more than $30-$40 for these two

• Half Life
• Half Life 2
• STALKER
• Deus Ex
• System Shock 2
• No One Lives Forever
• Aliens versus Predator 2
• Call of Duty
• Medal of Honor Allied Assault
• Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay
• FEAR
• Max Payne
• Max Payne 2

RPGs

• Fallout
• Fallout 2
• Planescape: Torment
• Baldur's Gate
• Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
• Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
• Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
• The Witcher
• Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

What a lot of people fail to mention when they suggest RPGs is that Fallout and Fallout 2 are sortof turn based.

I'd heard a lot of good things about them, but when I tried to play it was absolutely terrible.

Neverwinter Nights is a great RPG, but the only problem is it takes forever and there isn't much reward (low level cap, levelling takes ages...).

Robbie wins the thread.

The only game I would add to his list is Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast (StarWars FPS/TPS with great melee combat and force powers).

Mafia

Crysis

Battlefield 2 and 2142

Max Payne 1 and 2

FEAR

Stalker

Company of Heroes and Company of Heroes Opposing Fronts

World in Conflict

Deus Ex

System Shock 2

BioShock

Mass Effect

Very good list.

Who cares if they're turn based. In a way, KOTOR and the Neverwinter Nights are turn based also (you take turns, it's just masked to be real time).

The Orange Box (Best deal in town!!)

Oblivion

Warcraft 3

Call of Duty 4

Battlefield

Call of Duty 4

Team Fortress 2 (orange box)

Counter Strike Source

Diablo 2 (well action RPG, but still a great game)

And definitely The Witcher for RPG

Never said I liked KOTOR, lol. Turn based just isn't my thing, same with a lot of people, so I was just pointing that out to him as he obviously was unaware (thought fallout was a racing game).

It's silly to discount a game because it's turn based though.
