V Games That Do Things Better Than GTA V

Not this American. I actually like to see whatever else isn't playing. I've found so many overlooked gems by doing so.

@Blasterman4EVER @Sword-Demon @spindie3 I thinks it just reflects the fact that most folks are conformists and buy whatever everybody else is buying, especially Americans.

@zenstrata @uprentiss I am going to get deus ex tonight. I have almost go tit like a 100 times just was never certain but with yuor reccomendation I will because I need something to play

@uprentiss One other thing, The Deus Ex game is only a couple years old. That is not really very long ago at all. The technology these games are on has been going a long time, and so you can find many games these days which are several years old but are still very fun to play.

Some other titles worth taking a look at -

Dark Souls (very good but difficult single player fantasy RPG)

Metro Last Light (another single player title focusing on a post-apocalyptic setting)

Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas (these games may swallow your soul for several weeks, so be careful!)

Dishonored (reminiscent of the Thief series, this game is all about stealth and assassination)

@uprentiss @zenstrata Deus Ex Human Revolution is easily one of the best games to come out in the last 5 years. It is quite lengthy but the storyline is very well done and the environments are unique and fun to explore. It should keep you interested all the way through.

The game is really an RPG but the combat is done in real-time. The game gives you multiple ways to develop your character and influence the storyline as you play and has several different endings based on what choices you make. Your choices even influence how the story progresses. There is a main storyline of course, but there are also many completely optional side quests which are a lot of fun in themselves.

It is a completely single player experience however, so do not go in expecting multiplayer of any kind. But the game does not need it, I would strongly suggest taking a look if you have some time to fill.

It is available on STEAM discounted to 20$ these days. And is well worth the price.

@zenstrata @uprentiss wow i was just trolling but you are a decent dude and didnt get flustered or nothing. I never played deus ex and I am looking for a game to hold me over til watch dogs. do you reccomend it? even now i mean with its release being so long ago? and does it have side quests and etc

@uprentiss @zenstrata Actually Deus Ex Human Revolution had a surprisingly bug-free release. At least I never really ran into any problems with it. Of course it was not truly an 'open world' title.

It had large hub sections which could be explored and these sections would move you into individual mission areas, then return you to the hub after finishing the missions. The hub areas also had shorter missions that could be done purely inside of them, and also had things to explore and find.

But yeah, I ran into quite a few annoying bugs and stuff that was just plain frustrating in GTA 5. This does not mean I think it was a bad game, just not as good as several others which have come out in the last few years. (one of those being the Deus Ex I mentioned).
