Well, i've been lurking around trying demos and such since I want to get a game off of STEAM. I don't like HL and all those shooters... I was looking at Titan Quest + Immortal Throne or... erm, I dunno since i'm downloading a few more demos ATM. I tried Race 07 which sucked... FlatOut was bleck. Don't remember anything else. 0,0" Is TQ worth it in the long run? It's ok and all, but I don't know if it's the kinda game that would be fun for a good amount of time. Seems like more of a game you'd pick up and play for a little bit while waiting to leave for something... Goin' to try Sid Meier's Railroads and Lost Plant demo in a little bit.

What's your suggestion? With no Sci-Fi or Horrow games. And no CounterStrike or anything, either... I REALLY can't choose. ;(

well, you pretty much got rid of most games out there no fps, sci-fi, or horror (i think that's what you meant). that would leave some historic rts' like company of heroes, or maybe Oblivion? it's hard to tell what you want, so can you just ask for a specific genre?

also, cant tell you anything about TQ, never played it...

What kind of games do you play most? Titan Quest is great, but if you don't like point and click RPGs, like Diablo, then you might not like it. RACE 07 is great, but you have to like racing sims.

Lost Planet is kind of fun, as is Battlestations Midway. If you like turn-based games, Civ IV is really good. And, don't write off Bioshock, because it is a shooter.

It's not that I don't like FPS games. I just hate all the creepy stuff like BioShock and stuff. I'd like to get into the HL2 world, but i'm to jittery to play that...

I love RPGs most of all, with either Strategy or Racing in close second. I like medievalstuff, and lots of it. ^^ TQ wasn't too bad. Hated Race 07 because it just seemed generic and such. Don't think I should play any racing games without a wheel or gampad (Maybe a 360 controller or something). Railroads was ok, but sometimes semi-micro-managing puts me off a little. Ermm, about to try Lost Planet. I'll see if I like it.

I'm leaning towards TQ + expansion. I was also considering getting some GW games. Well, not considering, but planning to. I just want another game or two on the side. Off to try more games.

How about Medieval II: Total War? It is a TBS/RTS hybrid set in your favorite time period.

Ahh, forgot about that. Meant to try it. ^^ I'll whip out Steam and get the demo. I'm even thinking about just gettin' GW and when trying to get more RAM or something since it isn't too much... I only have 1gb now. I need a new GPU! But I want a 360 more... ;D

Oh, I couldn't even run Lost Planet on all lllloooowwww... ;( Sucks for me.

EDIT: Darn, no demo for that! ;(

Tomb Raider: Legend is pretty good, but may not be as enjoyable on PC version. If you like FPS but don't want scarry setting, TF2 is good multi. I'd hold off on TQ and see how well Hellgate London turns out which is due out end of this month. Fullspectrom Warriors is a decent tactial shooter (if i can call it that) abit repetitive.

There are a lot of games on steam now a days. You can try Company of Heroes Opossing fronts or Medieval Total War if you like Rts. Civ 4 if you like turn based.

For RPG you can try Oblivion or Jade empire special edition. I really liked both of those games.

By what you've tried out, it looks like you might be into racing games. Check out Track Mania United. It's a not a sim, so if you're looking for realism this wouldn't be for you. It's a nutty,super fast paced game with thousands of tracks, consisting of huge jumps, loops and other fun stuff. It also happens to have a great online community. I've been playing it for about a month now. It's good value at $20. Read some reviews before purchasing.

Yeah, i've played TM Nations. Don't really want to get United that much. I'm thinking about just skipping on it all together and saving money for something else.

Goody! Now I need to bash STEAM 'till they let me download the Orange Box because I bought it for retail and the casheir ripped off the plastic (along with the system requirements) and left me hopeless. Now I want a refund from someplace and get it from STEAM themselfs.

Now, you should get at least Counter-Strike: Source because it can draw you to shooters like it did to me

As a recent adopter of steam i can only see 196 games, thats not a lot to be honest, most are puzzle games and stuff.

The only ones i can see worth it are:

Half Life/HL2

CS

Bioshock

Civ 4

and all the old Quakes/Dooms, Wolfensteins.

CoD and Deus Ex

Do you think my PC could even run Bioshock on low? It wouldn't run Lost Planet on low at all and my specs are on my Xfire page (Banner in signature).

I don't really think i'm gettin' anything from STEAM anymore. But Jade Empire was lookin' pretty cool. No demo though (Or was there? 0,0). That game looks freakin' kickass.

Deus Ex. If you haven't played it and don't mind dated graphics, $10 is money very well spent.

Thanks, but that looks a little to dark and Sci-Fiish to me. I don't like those kinda games with all the labs and crap like that. Yes, i'm an extreme panzy...

Why a game off of steam, specifically? What's so great about Steam that isn't true about other online suppliers, ordering over the internet, or just plain ol' going to your nearest EB games? :S

Ehh, I dunno. I guess you're right. ^^ But the nearest EB Games is like 30 minutes away. Nearest Walmart (Not really that great, either...) is like 20 or so... The good ones are 30+ minutes away. Just don't really feel like going all that way for one thing. Most of the time I end up taking forever in the store, pissing my mom off because I can't choose because they had things I didn't think they would... ;P I guess STEAM is just appealing to me? I like the whole setup and convenience of it. Plus the community stuff built right in. XD Lol. I'm pretty much looking at Guild Wars, now... ;P Or... Jade Empire.

Jade Empire is rules. I couldn't put it down. Great settings. Great story. Pretty humorous in parts. Really fun martial-arts/magic combat system. Do it.

Plus, you should totally neck-punch people who have signatures that blend in with their posts. ;)
