The Grinch posted:Thought it'd be better posting in here than starting a new thread. Deus Ex: Human Revolution, should tick all your boxes. Galactic Civilizations 2 with all the expansions is a must-play too, though turn-based rather than RTS. I just ran into a game-ending bug in Stalker: CS so I could use a replacement. Something really atmospheric with lots of guns, upgrades, shopping etc. Any ideas?

rawrr posted:I'm looking for a game to play, and unfortunately WoW has sort of ruined most single player RPGs for me - I just couldn't get into games like Fallout, Skyrim, or Borderland since the whole quest system reminds me too much of WoW. Deus Ex: HR and Arkham Asylum were the only RPGs I could get through, but for some reason I couldn't get into Arkham City. I think you'd really like Crysis 2, and maybe the Stalker games if you don't mind messing with mods. Baldbeard posted:Hey guys, I'm looking for a game that has a lot of 'grinding' in it. I basically want a game I can just chill and mindless level up or collect loot/rares or whatever to help me relax after work. FF12 was fantastic for this, and I'm trying to find a good replacement without entering the dark world of MMOs. Disgaea games are good, but go a little too deep. Torchlight is the game for you. I think you get it free or something if you pre-order the sequel, too.

Tae posted:Skyrim is on sale for 50% off, but would you recommend it to someone that couldn't really bother to play much of Fallout: New Vegas but severely loved old knight times to heavily play Dragon Age? Hell yes. I never nearly finished New Vegas, but Skyrim is a blast. Looks gorgeous too, especially if you mod that sucker up good.

McCloud posted:I am also looking for a co-op game, but one where you can both play it offline together on the same ps3. I'm pretty sure this covers a wide range of games, but any suggestions are welcome. Preferably where you can play the main story/campaign co-op. The first Resistance game makes for surprisingly entertaining splitscreen with campaign co-op, as do RE5 and RE6. There's also Earth Defence Force, but that can get a bit repetitive.

Steel Beasts is expensive, and hardcore, but really damned good. If you want a tank/APC sim, it's the only way to go. e; maybe check out some YouTube's of it, see if it looks like your thing before committing the dosh.

I've been really enjoying One Finger Death Punch, and it's put me in the mood for an old-school beat em up. I'm thinking of the days when all games were played with joysticks, and so you only had like 8 moves to worry about. Ninja, Double Dragon, Chop Suey, that kind of thing. Scrolling affairs where you take on buttloads of NPCs with nunchakus and stuff. Are there any modern beat em ups that are nice and simple like that, without crap loads of combos to memorise?

pumpinglemma posted:Can anyone recommend a good PC turn-based strategy title for my dad? Specifically I'm looking for something in the mould of Advance Wars or the old Battle Isle games, where the emphasis is on tactics and there's little to no civilisation-building. (I've already picked up Endless Legend for him, so he'll have something to scratch that itch already...) I know Panzer Corps is meant to be excellent, but I'm not sure he'd be entirely comfortable playing as the Nazis. One of the Combat Mission games? I can't seem to adapt to the UI of the newer ones, but with someone to show him the ropes he'd likely be okay.

I don't know why more games don't use the old Ultima style of dialogue, whereby you pick out key words from NPC dialogue to ask them about, plus a few standard queries, plus possibly secret things to ask them that you find out from other NPCs. It was a pretty great system, I thought.

Are there any games out there which count ammo for handguns / rifles properly? i.e. so you either discard whatever is left in the mag when you reload, or end up with a half-full mag you can use later, rather than just continually pulling full clips from a pool of ammo? I'm sure I've played some very few games that do, but I can't remember what they were.

ninety posted:I want to try submarine simulation games, where's a good place to start? I'm new to sim games in general but I'm not worried about complexity and difficulty as much as quality. I don't want to learn how to play one of these things and find out the game I picked out is a buggy broken mess afterward. SH3 with the Grey Wolves mod is fantastic. SH4 is, I believe, also okay, but stay the hell away from SH5.

Maybe a weird request, but are there any CCG games that are decent to play single player? I've not played a CCG, but for some reason I'm in the mood for one - but I've no interest in playing against other people. Anything that fits? Also, any recommendations for computerised board games would be appreciated. Have been mucking about with Talisman and quite enjoying it (when it hasn't been busily being a oval office).

Anyone know of any (PC) strategy games with a decent skirmish mode, where you buy your units in advance - like the original Battlefront CM games? I believe they got rid of Quick Battle, or at least unit purchasing, in the newer ones. I've got zero interest in playing a campaign; I just want to assemble a hosed-up army and go improvising on some random terrain against the AI.

Queering Wheel posted:What are some games where you can be like John Wick and get brutal, quick kills on loads of enemies, using guns and hand to hand combat? I like Payday 2 for that (especially since you can actually BE Wick), GTA, and the Hotline Miami games. Counter Strike also fits the bill to a lesser extent (it's a lot harder to go on a killing spree without dying yourself.) Anything else out there? Okay, so this is from a couple of weeks ago, but: Max Payne, my dude. Max Payne and Max Payne 2 (and maybe 3, I dunno, I heard 3 was a bit crap) are the John Wickest games. No finishing moves as such, but you won't miss them when you're diving down a flight of stairs in slow-mo, firing akimbo uzis at a gas tank.

Yar The Pirate posted:I'm utterly unfamiliar with soccer and the screenshots of Football Manager make me a bit worried I'd need to know way too much about the game to get a return on my interest in the form of an interesting playthrough. I've got a copy of FM2016, so if it's not as complicated as I'm thinking it is I've got no problem jumping right in. You don't need to know all that much about soccer to start playing FM. If you already have it, I'd say give it a shot. Pick a random team and dive in. Leave training and arranging pre-season games to your assistant to start with so you don't need to worry about those, and just play a season.

Been having a surprising amount of fun with Counterspy, despite a few niggling flaws. What other period Cold War / M.A.D. games are there out there these days? I've played NOLF and NOLF 2 and MGS3 to death, and Papers Please, and Defcon, but I'm sure there must be others. e; oh man, Phantom Doctrine looks awesome - but it's not out til next year.

I could use some Steam recommendations for a nine year old boy who recently lost his father. He likes CS:GO, though can't really match the competition online, and One Finger Death Punch, though he needs help with some of the trickier levels even at beginner difficulty. Considering Cities: Skylines...any other suggestions?

I picked up the first two Zero Escape games on a whim and, while I've only played the first one so far, I've been surprised by how much I enjoyed it. (tbh, I could do without it having quite such a creepy attitude towards sex and purity and so forth, but it's still very good.) It makes me wonder if there's a whole raft of similar multiple-path puzzle games out there I should be checking out. Any recommendations? I've already played Until Dawn, which is also dope as hell. Are there any others I should look at?
