Looking for some good PC games

Zistrix · 03-10-2003, 11:02 AM

Quick and simple - Getting bored of EQ and I am looking for some good RPGs, simulations for PC that I can really get into.

Thanks

Mafia is pretty fun

Try RPGMaker 2000. It lets you make your own old school turn based RPG.

Soldier of Fortune 2
Hitman 2 (if you like mouselook)
Battlefield 1942 (fucking awesome)

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was RPG of the year everywhere.
Sim City 4 is fun.

Go buy a PS2 and you will be up to your knees in rpgs (that rhymes). Dark Cloud 2, Xenosaga, and .Hack came out within a period of like 2 weeks and are supposed to be superb rpgs.

Fallout 1&2. You can pick them both up in a two pack for 10 bucks at most Best Buys, if they have a 10 dollar bin.

C&C Generals is pretty awsome, IMO. Maybe just cuz im a long C&C fan but anyway....

Also, SoF 2 is crazy, awsome game.

Actually every magazine that I checked gave Neverwinter Nights RPG of the year...But Morrowind is SO much better than NWN it's not even funny. I would give NWN about a 3 out of 10 (boring as hell and very dull) and morrowind a 9.5 out of 10.

From what I understand, NWN is only good if you have alot of people who are into it, while the single player blows. Never played it myself though.

The only d&d game I played was icewind dale 2. It's pretty decent and the characters are extremely customizable.

It's all about the Crimson Land
(Click Download, top rightish area)

You can role play a guy with a gun killing monsters....amazering.

Man that game is hard...They surrounded me because I had the stupid plasma blaster that was inaccurate as hell.

Rhavenn · 03-11-2003, 01:32 AM

Definitely try Morrowind if you haven't already... make sure you get the patch though. In the patch they added a bunch of things that the users thought would make the game better, such as enemy health bars and a difficulty slider. Thought it was pretty cool that the company actually listened to their user base and put things in the patch that the users wanted.

Also the game has a fantastic editor. You can seriously change ANY aspect of the game. I didn't like how slow stamina regenerated or how it was used so I took it out all together. Takes awhile to get used to though. Highly recommended, although it’s not for everyone.

NWN was fine one-player and a great game. More accessible than Morrowind and required less time investment.
Morrowind did own though and is well worth the investment of playing it.

I also concur with the BF1942 choice which reminds me I need to pick up Road to Rome ><

Freelancer is taking up all my time at the moment. It's about 1% shy of complete genius. Great game.

Liringlas · 03-11-2003, 02:57 AM

one more vote here for morrowind. that game totally owned me. the world is huge and filled with things to do.

In my opinion, two of the greatest and funnest games ever. I wouldn't suggest getting Fallout tactics until you play the first two. Unless you LOVE fallout 1&2, tactics just won't do it for you, I would say.
