Thank goodness for Steam specials

Lets look at some of my recent dissapointments with games:

Metro 2033: failed to even work on my new computer!

Bulletstorm: also failed to even work

Mass effect: A boring console port with SUPER LAME combat

Deus Ex Human Revolution: Much shorter and less intriging than the original. Plus most of the decent weopons were intruduced too late in the game and had hardly any ammo available for them.

Serious Sam 3: Uninspired campaign + lame multiplayer

Fear 3: Okay this game was at least decent if not a little short. But where is the multiplayer?

Maybe, and I mean Maybe, gaming is not for you....just saying.

Thank goodness for origin fvcking up their promo code thing, and letting me get 10 games (the only 10 games I have on my origin account) for free. One of them was Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and I just did like 5 races earlier and uninstalled it in disgust. Another one was Crysis Warhead, which I'm kind of digging, but it's not anywhere near as good as I hoped. Not particularly excited about the other 8, but they were free. So, yeah. Thank goodness for origin "specials".:lol:

I don't really know. Because people actually think piracy rates are as high as Ubisoft's CEO says they are? Also, I know that what I did with origin's promo code might as well be piracy, but, I don't care. EA doesn't deserve my money. And, so far, the free games I got are just reiterating why.

Thats the great thing about Pc gaming, you can take a gamble and purchase cheap games, if they suck, there's no real waste.

They apparently lack ethics, too.

out of those games you liked the most boring and most generic one ? DeusEx HR while not having the depth of the original still a great game Serious Sam 3 what did you expect to find ? A campaign with a great story ? Anyone played serious sam games before he expects to find thousands upon thousands enemies on screen and alot of great weapons to satisfy the killer in you. Plus it has great co-op. SS3 is about shooting and it does that great Metro 2033 is one of the most atmospheric with a great story and alot of tense moments fps . Mass effect 1 is the greatest of the series and a great RPG with an amazing storyadamosmaki

As for Serious Sam 3 - well it was okay for the 8 - 10 hours or so that it lasted but it didn't improve much on the original. Hardly any new weapons or monsters and the gameplay didn't seem very serious sam like. I remember in the original there were all kinds of strange pick ups (like speed boots and invulnerability) which spiced up gameplay and the scenery seemed more outlandish and spectacular.

Metro 2033 might be good. But WHY oh why did it fall to work? Seriously, if I was trying to play a really old game on a new computer or vice versa I could understand. But really?

lol at the part about mass effect! If you say its the best in the series then MAY GOD HELP ME when I get around to playing ME2 which I purchased under the assumption that the mass effect series is as good as people tend to say it is!

Metro 2033: failed to even work on my new computer!

thereal25

I got bored of that game quickly, even though I had a machine that could run it.

Mass effect: A boring console port with SUPER LAME combat

thereal25

The combat is weak, but the story is what always kept me playing (several times over). The series really sorts out the gameplay in 2 and 3.

Deus Ex Human Revolution: Much shorter and less intriging than the original. Plus most of the decent weopons were intruduced too late in the game and had hardly any ammo available for them.

thereal25

You crazy. DXHR is one of the few games that I've completed then almost immediately started a 2nd play through of. My only complaint was that you couldn't always tell if you've accidently killed someone...which really messes up a non-lethal playthrough.

Out of all the games you mentioned I only have Mass Effect 1 but that game is amazing. I even prefer the combat in Mass Effect 1 over 2 and 3.

Lets look at some of my recent dissapointments with games:

Metro 2033: failed to even work on my new computer!

Bulletstorm: also failed to even work

..snip...

thereal25

wow thats bad 2 new games that wont work..? and its a new pc. Maybe you could contact steam or where you got it from to find a solution.. as im guessing you have done the driver thing..

Hope you get it sorted tho

LordRork,

I reckon DXHR was okay, but maybe my bias comes from the memory of the original.

I thought sneaking around kind of wore thin fairly quickly and the gun-your-way-through option wasn't all that great either.

I think you are playing the wrong kinds of games, I had the same problem when I finally got myself a new PC and was buying every game under the sun. Once I figured out what my tastes are, the number of disappointments in the last 3-4 years is pretty much like 1 or 2 games out of a couple hundred.

sounds like somebody picked the wrong hobby

I thought Metro 2033 and Serious Sam 3 were excellent bargains. Very good games, especially for their price. DX:HR was also very good; although when I bought it it was not at a bargain bin price.

Yeah, thats probably it; just getting settled in. Thats why I usually try to play a wide variety of games.

Sounds like RPGs and shooters might not be for you... and you seem to expecially dislike it when it's a RPG+Shooter like ME and Deus ex... because most of the games you listed are actually well recieved games. But in defence of ME, it's not a boring console port, the PC version has a PC interface just for the PC version, their isn't even gamepad support in it. People like to classify it as a tps, but forget while it's got action combat, the rest of the game is 100% RPG. With the extensive Dialog sequences, heavy story telling and such alot of people who generally dislike RPG's, don't enjoy it. And ME is my favorite series...

Some quality games were listed on that list too bad they didn't get some respect. Anyways what games have you enjoyed playing?

Or it could just be a crappy PC. I have no idea what level of PC knowledge TC has, but he didn't list any specs or anything. And I've definitely seen some people who don't have the slightest clue about performance hardware, and just think anything new should run anything. A guy I knew a couple years ago bought some little piece of crap like $300 HP desktop, and it took me like a hour to break it down, and explain to him why it ran so slow when he tried to play crysis.

Out of all of those games you enjoyed FEAR 3? You're kidding right?

Metro 2033 is awesome. Find a way to get it to work. Google is your friend. If you hate Google, use Bing. Just figure it out.

Bulletstorm is average so you're not missing out.

Mass Effect is spectacular. If you don't like the combat (it is kinda weak) play the sequels, they have better combat (like a lot better).

Deus Ex: Human Rev, is fun. Solid fun. Nothing out of this world, but it's a good stealth game.

Serious Sam 3- Did you expect anything else? I mean, it's Serious Sam.

FEAR 3- Go back and play the first game. Then tell me anything after it is "OK."

But yeah, Steam sales are great. They get you good games on the cheap.
