what pc game should i get?

[Agozer]

Adventure games rock my boat. Escape from Monkey Island is gold.

 

And yes, FarCry is a damn good FPS experience.

[Gryph]

I didn't like FarCry very much. By no means is it a bad game, but I'm very happy I didn't pay for it or I would have been severely disappointed.

I paid for mine, but I got it used, so it wasn't that much of a financial loss. Besides, I really don't like downloading a DVD-ROM image off BitTorrent.

Out of curiosity, what didn't you like about it?

My guess is that's it quite easy to get yourself killed in tht game even on the Tourist difficulty level.

[Elazul Yagami]

old, but if you haven't played them you should:

 

thief : the dark project

thief II : the metal age

 

warcraft 3: reign of chaos + the frozen throne add one

 

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (or 4, but 3 is better imho)

I've always hated the limiting of weapons in FPS games. I don't care if it adds more tactics to the game, I just don't find it fun. I also couldn't stand the game saving they implimented. I usually don't play games in long sittings so I need to be able to save wherever I want to. I might give the game another shot, only if they release a new patch (which will probably take another 5 months) that fixes the game saving during the Christmas break since I don't know what other games I'll have to play then.

 

I wouldn't have minded the difficulty if they had a proper save system.

Yeah, it's really starting to annoy me how games are implementing save state systems on the PC rather than letting you save when you want. The only way I can get through Doom 3 at all is to save almost every time I kill an enemy/group of enemies, as it's so dark and hard to see in that game I die all the time.

I can see where you're coming from. The limiting of weapons does change the way the game plays (a little less gung-ho, a little more immersion), but I can understand that it's not for everyone. Sometimes you just want to frag stuff and that's cool.

 

And the save states would annoy me if they hadn't implemented it so well. While the "levels" are huge, the time between save states is usually really short, most of the time they are only one or two "encounters" apart. They felt like scenes in a movie to me - one might be a run down a windy trail in a buggy, the next might be a gunfight in a building, the next might be sneaking through a camp, etc. Having to make it through an entire "scene" was more engaging to me than only having to clear the visible enemies, saving, then moving into the next room to repeat. Put together, the scenes make up the level, which would be too much to do in one run without saving.

 

I'm curious if you'd consider the opposite of your statement to be true: "I wouldn't have minded the save system if they'd had a reasonable difficulty?" To me, that would water down the feel of the game less than the ability to save every 2 feet.

No, I just don't like that kind of rigid save system. Things like that can ruin a game for me. I'm just a picky biatch.

[Shibathedog]

Oh god, Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3, Serious Sam (all of them), Painkiller (it should work), Hall-Life 1, Postal 2, Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, Red Faction, Diablo 2 +EXP.

 

Thats what i would get.

[Shibathedog]

hmm maybe i should dig out my old PC Gamer mags from when they where ranting about the GeForce 4 being the best card ever, that would be a good idea i think.

 

Plus i tried that site and got this.

The gf4 440mx can actually play UT2K4 pretty well (only not on high detail, of course)

[Jjangthekid]
